Condoms too big for most Indian men.
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.
The institute surveyed 1,400 men visiting family planning clinics
across the country to conduct the "Study on proper length and breadth
specification for condoms".
The study was carried out in a bid to improve the sizing of condoms,
which have a failure rate of up to 20 percent in India.
"While improper usage is one of the reasons, there is also condom
slippage or tear, which is associated with the size of the condom in
relation to an erect penis," said Dr Chander Puri, director of the
councils National Institute for Research in Reproductive Health.
The effectiveness of condoms in India, which has a growing population
of 1.1 billion, is an important issue as they have emerged as a vital
safeguard against sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV-
AIDS.
India has the world's highest HIV-AIDS caseload, with 5.7 million
people living with the illness, according to UN figures.
Idiots, condoms are designed to accomodate the largest size and not
the average size.
