Just over four hundred men were recently surveyed on their habits of condom use and almost half of those men state that the condoms they had purchased did not fit correctly.
The male participants surveyed also stated that the ill fit caused breakage, abrasion and general failure and were also likely to experience decreased enjoyment in their sexual encounters with partners.
Although these things are somewhat normal due to the fact that no two penises are alike in physical makeup, researchers claim that many men voicing their concerns on condoms that fit incorrectly are more than likely buying the wrong size.
Psychologists state that men don’t want to be seen purchasing small- or medium-sized condoms in retail stores and are thus suffering the consequences of their vanity. Researchers on the study state:
“Moreover, the increased likelihood that men using ill-fitting condoms will remove condoms before sex ends constitutes another form of condom failure. Fortunately, it seems likely that these problems could be rectified through education programs.”
I’m not so quick to feel sorry for these men. They’re taking personal issue with their penile size to the point where it’s not only causing issue for themselves, but also for their partners. This, clearly, could cause an influx of unwanted pregnancies, sexually-transmitted diseases and other negatively impacting issues into the bedroom.
Guys, buy your condoms to suit your stump. We women don’t go out in public and bellyache about our small boobs and buy 36-DD-sized bras when we’re clearly a 34-B. It’s just not realistic.

Sympathy = meh.
Sorry, I have to buy little bras for little titties. Surely guys can manage the same for their tiny units.
Exactly. Hell, if my fiance brought home a box of large condoms, I’d laugh at him. Medium, sure. Large? Let’s be serious.
What they should do is simply rename the sizes so that no one feels inadequate. Simply have a chart on the back of the box with columns having various length in inches and rows with various girth in inches and fill the cells in the chart with names like Thunder, Rocker, Kick-ass,etc. That way a guy can just match his length with his girth and no matter what that size ends up being, have a masculine ego-boosting size name.
Agreed.
Thats a good idea… They should do that with dress sizes too, lol.
Like Starbucks coffee sizes…?
Venti!
Meh, I would start referring to sex as my daily triple-shot latte.
I can just see the sizings:
From S to XL…
Extra Large

OMG YOU GUYS HAVE GOT TO SEE THIS. Unbelievable!!! What the hell are they thinking???

I have an attention span that lasts like 80 seconds but I watched this all the way through. Effin bastards.
I’m in shock. And that fellow representing the IOC is so smug. I really don’t believe this – I actually kept checking for some hint that I was on The Onion’s site :(
I can’t believe this is serious. I honestly can’t wrap my head around it, it’s so….sexist! Because really, what is flinging oneself down a ramp like a penguin on acid going to do to women physically that it won’t do to men.
I know!! It’s like there can’t possibly be a more blatant example of gender discrimination if you tried!!! I’m outraged. This is going on in 2010!! Not the 1950s. It is sickening is what it is.
I’m not sure that comparing condom sizes to bra sizes is really a valid comparison.
After all, breasts are out there- everyone can see what you’re packing. Penises tend to remain a secret until there is a sexy reveal.
The way that penises are linked to manhood is not the same as they way breasts are linked to femininity. No one would argue that a woman with small breasts is less womanly than someone with big breasts. There’s lots of porn directed specifically towards men who like small breasts, but I think you’d be hard pressed to find porn featuring exclusively small penises.
Having to buy small sized condoms would be like buying haemorrhoid cream, or some type of STD medication. Whoever you are purchasing it from would know that there is something “wrong” with you.
No, I completely disagree. Woman with small breasts are considered a lot less feminine than those with in-your-face tatas. I just got done looking at the Mad Men picture of the woman with the most perfect large sets you’ve ever seen…ahhh…what was I saying? Oh right. Wait. Give me another sec. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
OK, anyways, that visual does something to you. A small breasted girl still gets treated like a woman because she has the basic female parts, but definitely not in the same way as those with big big jugs.
Ha I just realized the repeat of big in the above sentence was totally a Freudian moment but I won’t correct it.
Why else do you think so many women get breast implants?
I disagree.
Do you think people look at say, Oprah, and think she is more feminine than Megan Fox? Because her breasts are a hell of a lot bigger, but it’s not really winning her any male attention.
The majority of models have small breasts. Big breasts (really big ones), outside of porn and Jersey Shore, are not typically considered beautiful. Sexy, yes. Ideal, no.
It is not embarrasing to have a smaller chest- it is mortifying to have a small penis.
Yes I do think that Oprah looks more womanly than Megan but it’s not quite fair to compare a 23 yo with a 50+ yo. And obviously you have to consider waist to breast ratio so you can’t just compare the two. If Megan had a twin sister with size C breasts, hell yes, she would be considered more womanly…and not just by me; by every other guy on the planet.
Models are chased after because it’s a challenge to get a snobby stuck up girl to sleep with you, simple as that.
I completely agree with this statement and your above one as well. Boob size and penis size are not the same. I don’t know of a better analogy, but that one doesn’t hold water.
Hmm, did the survey indicate that the problems stemmed from the condoms being too big? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a condom be too big on anybody (at least nobody I bothered to have sex with – ba dum chhh).
Those suckers seem pretty tight, right??? I had a bf that had problems with the tightness but was too embarrassed to buy ‘Magnums’ because he thought they were enormous or something. Nope, they’re just a little bit bigger and much better for both of us.
My guess is fit isn’t about the condoms being baggy, ladies. Not to mention penises come in a variety of shapes!
I totally agree. Condoms that are too big wouldn’t break, they’d slip off. My boyfriend also had to get Magnum condoms because everytime we’d use a normal condom it’d snap off. Super painful for him, and it’d totally ruin the mood everytime.
The bra : condom analogy is useless. What if there were three bra sizes… “small, normal, and THE BOOBINATOR”???
Imagine how many more insecurities women would have about there bra size then.
THE BOOBINATOR! AAAAHAHAHAHAH!
Vanity sizing for condoms?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
[...] “Small pecker” condoms [...]
[...] things to talk to my friends about. And anyway, if I said to one of my girlfriends, “Yeah, he has a really small dick,” she’d be like, “Yeah, you told me that years ago.” Anyway, can we say John Mayer? [...]
