Following my weekend odd news, here is some less than great news for women in India. Size may or may not be everything, but in this case at least it makes a difference. What I am referring to is a report out of Mumbai that states that condoms made to international standards are just too big for roughly 90% of Indian men. I’m just not sure how to continue to comment.
The international standards are 150-180mm (roughly 6.25 – 7.5 inches if my math is right) and Indian men – as per this 2 year study of 1400 men – were in the range of 100-156mm (about 4.2 – 6.5 inches) predominantly. I have to say that personally I feel bad for both groups if that is the standard. The numbers don’t apply to me. But beyond that this has to be embarrassing to the ego of millions of Indian men. The ramifications are more serious than just a deflated ego though, as India has the world’s largest caseload of HIV positives. The fact that condoms are not able to work properly is not just disconcerting, it has the potential for enormous health consequences. Either non-international standards need to be adopted or Bob – the Enzyte spokesman – needs to start doing commercials in Indo-Aryan and Dravidian.
On a side note, take heart men of India. I had to do some research on this subject and found that according to internet results the average size is 6.1 – 6.4 inches. According to varying information the average is 6.2 inches, with Caucasians having 6.22”, Blacks at 6.89”, Hispanics at 6.15” and Asians at 5.33”. I have no idea where this data was complied or how. I’m just happy I don’t fit anywhere near these categories.
This is just the tip of the iceberg [I know, what an obvious pun] in terms of what data is available. I have seen a report of how Black American and African men are preferred in Asia and Southeast Asia over any other group of men because of the ‘legend’ or presumed superiority of size. Of course there are also sites that counter the above data, with Caucasians having a mean of 6.5”, African Americans at 6.1”, Hispanics at 5.9” and East Asians at 5.5”. And for a dose of reality there is the mention of how inexact this all is at yet another site.
A Google search of the terms “American penis sizes” returns 1.2 million responses. Anyone in America, at least, knows that much of the spam mail is dedicated to trying to help improve whatever nature has provided. Obviously we can conclude from the various Viagra and Enzyte (and other similar drugs) commercials all men are somewhat insecure in this arena.
So if you are from India, or anywhere else, don’t worry. No matter the report, or condom, there is information (and products) to tell you that you are ok. Bottom line, if it works don’t worry.
I can’t believe I wrote about this.
This is what I think, what do you think?
