You probably think this is some kind of a crude joke.

Well you’re wrong. It turns out there really are international standard sizes for penises. I mean, would the BBC joke about something this serious?

See: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/6161691.stm

“A survey of more than 1,000 men in India has concluded that condoms made according to international sizes are too large for a majority of Indian men.

“The study found that more than half of the men measured had penises that were shorter than international standards for condoms.

“It has led to a call for condoms of mixed sizes to be made more widely available in India.”

In case you’re wondering I checked. This was not posted on the BBC website on April fool’s day.

Now my question.

Who sets the international standards for penis sizes?

Is it a UN agency? The ISO? The US National Institute for Standards and Technology?

Who?

And how do they decide?

I just gathered Steven that men with larger appendages? would go with the flow until the condoms snap, seriously. I assumed too (one should never assume I know) that there are different sized condoms made here and around the world as most are made in China? If I break rubber gloves constantly of all brands, those condoms are not worth a dollar and of no use anyway.

I intend waiting for my soulmate and wont need one of those useless rubber holed latex con jobs.

I love your thread genuinely Steven LOL

Full blood tests and results requested first of course; I strongly dislike the rubber/latex material.

Now everyone!...get out your bibles and pray:) I would give you both the number for the help line......but I think its a bit too late for that one:)

Have fun with your thread:)

An interesting, lighthearted thread here Steven :)

I can remember back in my student nurse days having a lecture by a urologist who discussed this very topic. We giggled madly of course!

Apparently there have been several studies on penis sizes done by urologists and plastic surgeons, among others.

They say that they get different measurements if they just ask groups of men to measure themselves and report the measurements, rather than having staff measure the men and note the results!

Obviously urologists see a lot of male reproductive and urinary equipment during the course of their everyday work, so I would tend to believe their results more than those from some other dubious sources!

Obviously, condom manufacturers will want some very correct information re penis size, so they can sell many condoms to all men from different races/countries.

I would suggest that most young men at least will lie a little about their penis size, so men shouldn't rely on their mates to tell them the whole truth :)

I know in relation to the point, that( No penis punt was intended ), and the Catholic church seems to think, that the penis, if held correctly, will not measure up, to what ( and holding back on big words ) expectations, that the availability of such latex, should and can not be used.........WHY:)...........I can only think AIDS:)..plus!

You know....smart or stupid, the balances between what we should do and what we don't do, is just a Questionable fault by our own short-mindness, and I don't think anyone's qualified to submit anything else:)lol. but!..lol....here is some thinking fodder, that as nothing to do with the motives, of yours truly:)
