Breaking point? There are alot of factors when it comes to condoms breaking apart... specially really tight factors. How is testing its capacity to hold 18L of fluid in correlation with a tight fit?

Plus it's not the size.. its how you use it :) Ask any REAL women... too big.. too small.. pfft no one cares its how you can use the mojo.



condom testing

I cant explain the 18 liter thing...obviously that way too much for even a condom to hold.

The point is not that German penises are small, but the standard itself is too big. Average penis size is grossly overestimated, even in the U.S.

It's Europeans now... the article states:
On average they were 14.48 cms long and 3.95 cms wide. That makes them much smaller than the EU standard condom size of 17 cms in length and 5.6 cms in width."

He denied the German man was any smaller than the rest of Europe

:D

14.48 Centimeters equals 5.7 Inches. That sounds about right according to every study I've ever seen.. I actually think the Germans are right on this one.

17 Centimeters equals 6.69 Inches, which is a larger average than any study I've seen.

Somehow I think the whole think is a joke, and not meant to be serious.

Exactly. It's a stretch/durability test.

Did any of you know you can fit a standard condom over your head? THAT is how durable condoms are.

Yeah it is overestimated. It was about 5.5 inches lenght (14 cm) last time I read the study on it.

that is not true - there is Fromms, Ritex, Billy Boy, Durex, Condomi and whatnot - if you want more go to a Condom shop...

But well they all suck except for Durex (easy on)

worst...condom....EVAR!

Durex is the way to be. Tojans are unreliable at best.

I myself, can only use the 2 trojan larger sized ones.

i used to wonder why it took me 10 to 15 minutes to get a condom on until i tried the larger sizes. :)

The best condom is no condom. Just get a little snip, snip and you don't have to worry about it.

Average is a little less than 6" right?

As long as they make them in larger sizes for those of us who AREN'T German, I don't care how big German condoms are.

I have much more difficulty finding them big enough than small enough, so it's better for me if they err on the large side.

Small condoms hurt!

17cm seems a bit bizarre for an "average".

Someone should do a poll:

What matters most to girls? Length or girth?

Last girl I dated said girth, but the one before that said length...

ATi or nVidia? (yeah, really geeky).

Depends on the person, some prefer one, some the other (length and girth), so just make sure you have both :D
