NEW DELHI (AFP) - Indian men's penises do not match international sizes and most condoms on sale in the country are too big, according to a medical study.

The Indian Council of Medical Research, the country's top health research institute, found 60 percent of men in Mumbai had penises at least 2.4 centimeters (one inch) shorter than international condom sizes, The Times of India newspaper said Friday.

For 30 percent, the gap was five centimeters (two inches), said a researcher quoted in the article headlined "Indian men don't measure up".

Out of curiosity, I wonder how other nationalities measure up?

Now, we can't expect honest answers from the men on the forum, since they can't post pics, but we might be able to ask some of the women what they've seen...

Black guys are biggest.
White guys are middle ground.
Asians and apparently Indians are smaller.

Seriously, it's not that big a deal. Honestly a huge dick would be more of an annoyance than anything.

uh....what's the point of the thread again?

I did read that the testicles of the Danes are the weightiest and those of the Chinese the lightest. Couldn't speak to the penis sizes prevalent in South Asia. Anyway, it's been over 30 years since I've seen a live adult one, so ...

uh....what's the point of the thread again?

DCD is at lunch and someone has to bring up silly news.

To pontificate on the glories of penises from 'round the world. An attempt, more likely, to reassure the men of NSG that they could move to India and be a porn star.

That's the funniest thing I've read in days.

What difference does the length of the condom relative to the penis make? You just unroll what you need... Surely it's the diameter that actually matters for fitting purposes?

I hope you'll all excuse me for writing a serious response to this.

Penis is a penis is a penis is a penis. :)

Penis is a penis is a penis is a penis. :)

That's like saying all vaginas are the same. It just aint so.

Well most condoms are made for men who fall in the 5-6 inch range. If these fellows are falling an inch or two short, ahem, well that's worded badly. Any rate if these fellows are a bit smaller it is likely they're a bit thin also.

and the pun rings true either way you want to take it.

No, I meant penis as in a penis is a penis.
That means that penises are penises are penises.
Like you can't judge a penis by the fact that its a penis when really its a penis, you know?
Penis is simply a way of defining penis which is indeed a penis.

Ukrainian guys are hung... to the point where it becomes a problem.

Latinos range, but tend to be on the small side. But they also tend to be among the best lovers I've had anyway.

I am sad to say that so far I've never had the pleasure of romping with a black, or an Asian guy :(

Native guys tend to be on the big side.

Everyone else I've encountered has been 'average'.

Except for the guys who were almost too big, size was never really an issue, and it certainly wasn't any indication about how good a lover the guy was.

Black guys are biggest.

I've heard the analogy that massive dicks are digging at the bottom of the barrel, so to speak. That is, you can only go so far before you start hitting the bottom.

Kehehehehehee...

In the Prairies, people of German and Ukrainian decent are usually among the 'most landed' of the immigrants to Cree country :D

I've heard the analogy that massive dicks are digging at the bottom of the barrel, so to speak. That is, you can only go so far before you start hitting the bottom.

Ahem ... yes, given the fact that on average a human vagina is only 4 inches deep. Of course, being versatile and special, it's stretchy, so it can accomodate the occasional Ukrainian or Native American. But basically, if you have six or seven or, goodness! more inches, a lot of that is going to go to waste.

The vagina also swells considerably when a woman is aroused granting more depth.

Caucasians are bigger than blacks, blacks are bigger than latinos, and latinos are bigger than asian.

Yet, I stay with latinos. After all, it's not the size of the boat what matters, but the movement of the waves. Not how strong is the wind, but how gentle it passes by. Not how high is the tree, but how beautiful are the flowers, or how juicy is the fruit.

Oh, and width is more important than length, in any case.

The vagina also swells considerably when a woman is aroused granting more depth.

Yeah...sometimes seven inches is too much, and sometimes 11 is just fine. So the men who are really hung just have to put that extra work into ensuring arousal in their partner...which is great and all, but sometimes it means that a 'quickie' has to be a 'slowey'. Well and I won't even get into where those guys are LEAST likely to get into.

Oh, and width is more important than length, in any case.

For sure.

Isn't the G-Spot three and a half inches deep anyway? That's what a female friend of mine once told me.

Wow, shit. I'm Indian ethnically, and I have a small dick. No idea it was a trend. Heh heh. I think I got the record for smallest. :)

Isn't the G-Spot three and a half inches deep anyway? That's what a female friend of mine once told me.

2-3 inches in.

The vagina is usually 3-4.5 inches, but can elongate up to another 150%, so 8-10 inches ish. However, only the first third has nerve endings anyway, so length really doesn't make much of a difference - except that if a woman isn't fully aroused, or the penis is too long still, it hits the cervix, which freaking HURTS. (In theory, the vagina is supposed to elongate past the cervix, but that doesn't always happen, and due to angles, the cervix usually ends up getting hit.)

My boyfriend and I have had long conversations on this subject. He was listening to a group of guys talk about penis sizes, and was going to jump in and tell them they're worrying about nothing, but he wanted to confirm with me first. ;)

So how big of a population did you sample?

My boyfriend jokes about being very proud of being longer than average, but in seriousness, he knows it's not actually a big deal.

What difference does the length of the condom relative to the penis make? You just unroll what you need... Surely it's the diameter that actually matters for fitting purposes?

I hope you'll all excuse me for writing a serious response to this.

If you don't fully unroll it, it makes it easier to slide off during thrusting. Similar things also happen if you're too large for the condom: thrust too deeply, and you'll roll it back off.

That being said, most of the reported problems are tears, not slides, which isn't caused by, shall we say, lack of amplitude, but by lack of foreplay and use of lubricant (as well as using condoms that are too old).

So how big of a population did you sample?

Well I'm still sampling, and I don't really keep count.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I actually dated an East-Indian guy for a while...a very nice Muslim boy in fact. And compared to other guys, he really wasn't lacking in size.

(see I can be punny too!:rolleyes:)

6 1/2" I swear!

Seriously...size doesn't matter. You know what really matters? Not 'blowing it' too soon. That's a pretty common occurence, unfortunately, regardless of size.

2-3 inches in.

now you've got me all worried :( my seven inches could be a bad thing? :confused: but it should be fine and dandy with enough of my irresistible charm :fluffle:

i'm reliably informed that size does matter. but only in the same way that pussy tightness matters, i.e. not at all til you get down to it, and then you work with what you find and have a good time anyway (if you're good). and all guys worrying about length are fools cuz it's girth that matters. a friend of mine says that if it's knocking on the kidneys it's too long.

I did read that the testicles of the Danes are the weightiest and those of the Chinese the lightest. Couldn't speak to the penis sizes prevalent in South Asia. Anyway, it's been over 30 years since I've seen a live adult one, so ...

So that's why they called those dogs Great Danes.

I don't fit into any racial stereotypes! Muhuwahaha! :eek:

That should be your job, though.

As for dick size...mine is average, in case anyone wanted to be burdened with that unfortunate information. I'd just as soon give it up for a vagina and a pair of boobies though. (Yet another way to scare people by mentioning my wanting to be female. Oooh, I wonder what the Fox News team would say about that...)

I doubt seven inches is too long, don't worry. I tend to think that problems don't start occuring until beyond that... though it's all a matter of individual women and what they prefer/how they're built/etc. And really, it just means making suuuuuure you draw out the foreplay, which is always a good thing. :p

Makes me wonder...if there's such a thing as *too long* of a penis, how come that gene has lasted for so long? Sounds like evolution would wipe that out quickly.

Penile length is apparently one of the great mysteries of primate studies, as it's entirely unrelated to testicular size (chimpanzees have the largest testicles of any primate, and very small phalluses) or body mass (gorillas have both very small testicles and small penises).

One of the theories I've heard of is that penile length is a status indicator among males, like big horns on a stag. It explains why males are so concerned about having a long penis, while women don't care so much.

Jared Diamond's The Third Chimpanzee is a good book on hominid evolution and other related matters of the human condition, and the information above comes from that source. Unless it comes from elsewhere and I've forgotten.

Why am I still looking at this thread?To see how you measure up, of course.

ROFL!!!!!
Love this thread, eapecially as the guy i currently fancy is half indian. lol. (may have to go stick the article up on the notice board in his halls)
Anyway in my experience, greeks are the biggest (the greek i had was over a foot long! It wasnt actually that good tho, cause even tho it was big, it was fat and he knew what to do with it, there jsut wasnt room to get that much in and it kinda hurt)
All the smallest guys i've had have been english actually, usually southerers are the smallest.
The scottish are big tho (best i've ever had actually), must be the kilts letting them hang a bit and stretch ;)

from statisics i have seen. white actually have higher records for biggest peni, hence the man with the largest one is white. this makes sense cause the average height of a black men man is higher than a whites. men with unproportial length arms and legs are usually have a shorter penis.
havent never checked or compared, i got this from bot h a ducth and an american study.
for those who are wonderinf feet have nothing to do with it.

Aaah, so what girls should be looking for is a short guy is it? (actually that mostly works i think, all the small guys were jsut over 6", whereas all the huge guys were about 5'8 ish)

I am so sending this news article to all of the Indian guys I know. Thankfully, I don't know any that are too close by.

You said it Smunkee. Anyway if it's too big then it won't fit...

Doubly correct, as it applies to the condom too.


Maybe this is why India is full of people, they can't get condoms that fit(read: small) so they don't bother with them.
