> [@](#): > > 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 to be provided in smaller sizes designed for Indian men. > [BBC News - Condoms 'too big' for Indian men](http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/6161691.stm) I love surveys like this - I can guarantee that several friends of Indian descent will have already received this a number of times, but I you can believe I’ll be sending it too 😃 Ranks up there with “the more older brothers you have, the more likely you are to be gay” report from this summer. 😛 **e-logic** (_who is NOT Indian, and is the oldest of 4 brothers_) 😉 ---

Considering the large number of indians in this world, size doesn’t matter. ---

Wasn’t there a movie with an Indian guy on a bicycle, hitting on a woman and telling her he had an extraordinarily big one, making condom use virtually impossible? ---

Ummm, . . . I’ve never seen condoms being manufactured before, but don’t the ones in the linked picture look a little large? Is that just the camera angle or something? I also like this part of the cited article: > [@](#): > > But Indian men need not be concerned about measuring up internationally according to Sunil Mehra, the former editor of the Indian version of the men’s magazine Maxim. > > “It’s not size, it’s what you do with it that matters,” he said. > > "From our population, the evidence is Indians are doing pretty well. > > “With apologies to the poet Alexander Pope, you could say, **for inches and centimetres, let fools contend**.” Ahem. ---

(Glory days of CFNY…) [/QUOTE] From my high school days in that region (later part of the 80s) that whole area – Concord, Woodbridge, Malton – was proverbial Gino territory, where the IROCs roamed free and the streets were paved with pomade. Concord was perhaps a little less so, at least around the Glen Shields area, but all bets were off around the Promenade. Brampton, where I live now, seems largely Indian and Pakistani, or at least it is in my little corner of the city (Shopper’s World area). ---
