Germans think they're well-hung - but they're not

Germans think they're well-hung - but they're not

Wed Dec 1,11:58 AM ET

BERLIN (Reuters) - Most German men wear condoms of the wrong size, a condom distributor has said, after asking more than 2,500 men to measure their erect penis.

"People measure their feet when they buy shoes. Why shouldn't they measure their penises? A man would not wear children's shoes," said Jan Vinzenz Krause of Vinico, which released the study's findings on World AIDS (news - web sites) Day.

Most condom boxes in Germany indicated size but men, due to embarrassment or vanity, rarely checked or just bought those marked "extra large", he said on Wednesday.

Vinico's survey recommended various brands to be used -- depending on the endowment of the wearer.

The study found the average erect penis size was 14.7 cm (5-3/4 inches), with 40 percent of participants reporting lengths between 12 and 15 cm (4-3/4 and 5-7/8 inches).

When compared with the condoms normally used by the participants, the results showed only 18 percent wore the right size, with nearly half squeezing into condoms that were too small and 34 percent trying to use those that were too big.

This is clearly a marketing problem.

Because clamping on that cold, metal, shoe size measurer to check your size would just be too much... Ouch! Brrrrrrr!!!

For some reason I'm getting this feeling that you're trying to tell us that you're gay. And conservative.

German penises 'too small for EU condoms'

I'm just glad I take after the Irish side of my family.

Why do you feel the need to announce to all of FR how you have sex?

Believe it or not the vast majority of conservatives could care less how you have sex as long as you don't try to force them to like it, pay for it or it's consequences, and/or endorse it.

I just can't imagine what the world would be like if everyone introduced themselves with information about their sexual habits first. "Hi, I wear womens underwear and my name is Bill..." "Hello, I like it handcuffed to the bed post and my name is Hillary..."

Considering that he posted this info on a thread about penis size.....I would say he's looking for buddies.
