Majority Of Indian Men Can’t Fill A Standard Condom?
December 8, 2006 (26 Responses)
A TWO YEAR STUDY containing over 1,200 volunteers from the length and breadth of the India who had their penises measured precisely, down to the last millimetre, has concluded that Indian men need smaller condoms made for them. Scientists even checked their sample was representative of India as a whole in terms of class, religion and urban and rural dwellers. The conclusion of all this scientific endeavour is that about 60% of Indian men have penises which are between three and five centimetres shorter than international standards used in condom manufacture.
This has led to a very high failure rate in the country (one in every five condoms fail, tear, fall off etc.) which presents quite a health problem, as well as an ego issue for the Men I’d guess. Smaller condoms are available in chemists, but it seems that Indian men are too embarrassed to ask for them.
As if that wasn’t problem enough, there seems to be a history in India of using condoms not for sex but for many other weird uses. Only 25% of condoms sold in India get used for sex. The rest get used as a tool in the making of saris, toys and bathroom slippers! The lubricant in the condoms make them a very handy gadget for sari weavers, who place the condoms on their thread spools to make the thread move faster through the sewing machines. The weavers are also using the lubricant to polish gold and silver threads in the cloth.
So – the condoms that are used are too big and keep falling off, and of those only 25% are used for sex. Given those odds it’s no surprise that the population is growing at such an exponential rate now is it?
I suppose this means that the next big thing over there will be penis extensions.
I can see that this article has spread like wildfire and a lot of blogs including this one. But as a student of Journalism I just could not let this article go because it conflicts with the ideals of journalistic integrity. Now naturally a lot of you will start to question “my ethnicity†as it would provide your mind with an “explanation†as to why I am writing this or it will provide you with “my intentions†but in this case “my ethnicity†is irrelevant in this context and has no bearing as I provide facts and logic. I could be Caucasian, I could be Asian, or I could even be Black. Just to keep you guessing as I know some of you will I am not going to reveal that. Regardless, I have faith that you are intelligent enough to understand the analysis is just an analysis not a racially motivated “defence mechanism.†I stress greater importance on journalistic integrity revealing the WHOLE STORY.
Upon closer analysis, this article uses facts to create a twisted tale. It is actually better to analyze the article first and you will find that the article, illustrated the facts to put a negative spin on South Asian men. And I am sorry to shatter peoples “ racial, masculine superiority complex†but here it goes:
Another article that specified the study (http://www.slate.com/id/2154841/) stated that, “As per international standards, most condoms are 150 mm to 180 mm (5.9 to 7.08 inches) in length and 44 to 56 mm (1.70 to 2 inches) in width. But data collected in Mumbai till 2001 showed that 60% of the participants measured 126 to 156 mm (4.96 to 6.14 inches) in length and 30% between 100 and 125 mm (3.93 to 4.92 inches). †Adding to this, many studies (in which urologist or other researchers studying the male penis, measured the subjects themselves with a measuring tape as opposed to the self-measurement method done by participants in the Kinsey institute surveys and other penis size surveys) such as the studies done by the American Journal of Urology, International Journal of Impotence Research, LifeStyles Condoms on penis size indicated that contrary to the popular myth of an average penis size being 7 to 8 inches the average human male penis size is 5 to 6 inches. In light of those facts, that means according to the very own studies and findings of the Indian Council of Medical Research, most Indian men in Mumbai are within the average penis size. (If you look up sizes on the internet there are still many who use the flawed Kinsey measurements and methods and contend that the averages range from 6-8 inches but academic sources state otherwise. Now it is also important to note that even the considered “average†is flawed in many respects but that is another issue entirely.
In regards to this study, how is this any different from what the Lifestyle Condom Survey of Americans concluded back in 2001? A study by Lifestyles Condom Co. in 2001 (http://www.free-condom-stuff.com/education/research.htm) indicated that about two-thirds of the 300 college-aged American males ranged from between 5.1 and 6.2 inches. We can come to the same conclusions about Americans: “Condoms made according to international sizes are too large for a majority of Americans (66% to be exact).” Or “Condoms designed to meet international size specifications are too big for many American men as their penises fall short of what manufacturers had anticipated.” Or “Initial findings of a Lifestyle Condoms Co penis survey revealed that 66 percent of American men on spring break in Cancun had penises about 2.4 cm (one inch) shorter than those condoms catered for.”
And the BBC article failed to note that in the study that, “the failure rate was lower in clinical trials, and many complaints were about tearing, not slippage, so the main problem is proper use, not size (slate.com).” Adding to this the average human male penis size is 5 to 6 inches and the article stated that 60% of the Indian men were in this range; it may be that the international sizes of condoms are flawed themselves. Skeptics of this article also question if they have done studies in other countries, including the ones that “set” the international standards, to see how many men actually “measure up” to those standards? And how is this international standard set?
AND, they selected over 1200 males which were actually 1500 males and all of these males were from Mumbai (and some from Delhi alone). The article says “the scientists even checked their sample was representative of India as a whole” but failed to mention that the men surveyed were from Mumbai (and some from Delhi) ALONE. From the analysis of people in one state they generalized an entire country! That may be the average for Mumbai alone not all of India. India has over 20 states and many union territories and contrary to popular belief India has a great deal of diversity in regards to culture, environment etcetera, etcetera. That is like surveying the size of shlongs in the New York State finding the average in New York and stating that, the average shlong size of adult males in New York is the average shlong size for all adult males in America even though there are over 40 different areas (States) in America. Another issue raised was that since an estimated 350-400 million people in India are below the poverty line, this article never discussed the issues of malnutrition in India along with the pollution in Mumbai in regards to human development as a factor and as a variable.
Some people called this article reckless journalism because it doe not tell the whole truth and uses the facts to create a negative spin. In regard to journalistic integrity this article could have instead focused on the AIDS epidemic in India and discuss how to get Indian men to use condoms rather than pushing sensitive buttons. I believe that the BBC author of that article should be fired for writing such an article with obvious fallacies and flaws; I wonder what University the author went to?
Anyways I know there will be those “skeptics†reading this who will be in an outrage as this article may have shattered their “racial, masculine superiority complex,†and even though I have stepped foot into these waters before as a Cauca…oops! I believe that human logic and reasoning is more supreme. With that said, I will not be responding to counter-arguments as I have many papers and exams to write at this point and will not be interested to re-visit peoples comments.

Are people still stuck on this domination complex? No wonder we humans keep repeating history. Ahhh… come great aliens – destroy us and end our foolish reign…
I don’t know if this is supposed to be funny, sad or as it is. It’s not funny that their natality rate is increasing because of the condom problem. Imagine using protection and still finding out you’re gonna be a parent. In some countries abortion is an option but I think in India this procedure is not looked upon with good eyes.
The study did not compare penis sizes race-wise but to condom sizes. The 60% of measured had penis sizes 5 – 6 inches. The average human penis size according to the 1996 Journal of Urology study is 5.08 inches so the average indian penis size is actually bigger than the average human size. This also means that the condom sizes are bigger for average humans.
The BBC reported an Indian Council of Medical Research study finding that “about 60% of Indian men have penises which are between three and five centimetres shorter than international standards used in condom manufacture.”[62] However, the study also stated that “data collected in Mumbai till 2001 showed that 60% of the participants measured 126 to 156 mm [5 to 6.1 inches] in length and 30% between 100 and 125 mm [4 to 5 inches].”[63][64] The international size standard for condom length is 150 to 180 mm (6 to 7 inches),[65] larger than the average human penis size; thus, the average human penis falls short of international condom size standards.[66]
READ THAT SHIT U DUMBASSES
condom se kya chut mari jati hai. bina condom hi chod dunga.
LOL….POOR INDIANS…SKINNY & SMALL no wonder their women cross border to satisfy their needs…and unfit condoms are giving rise to already 1 billion plus population…good article small size condom might fix the problem

well i’m just glad i’m just a tad bit above the average penis size (and yes this is an honest answer most people try to say they have like 7 inches) which most studies state between 5.1-6.2 inches ( i’ve seen like 10 different studies). BTW james mentioned that “only” 30 percent of indians have penis size between 3.93 to 4.92. That still sucks cuz that means you have almost a 1 in 3 chance of having a tiny penis. Oh well with technology today i suggest for that group to start taking penis enlargment pills. Nothing to be emberassed about.

Very interesting fact about Indian men which I have never heard before in my life. I am so glad that I have noticed this article while I was trying to detect some news about Jayden James in your site. I will definitely say this interesting information for all my friends who are interested in adult industry. Thanks.
