India's men come up short in condom study.

The press will print anything these days. I can't wait to read the coming outrage.

Of course, the story didn't note how large these manufactured condoms were, only that they met "international size specifications."

Glad I'm not Indian.
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

There is nothing funny about the AIDS aspect of this story, but they did seem to give it a bit of a humor slant. I'm glad I'm not Indian as well. Let us Americans hold our breath for when we see statistics for the rest of the world?

Any bets on who will measure up?

All men are created equal, but what they do after that point puts them on a sliding scale.

It's a well-established fact that Americans have the biggest, um, thingies.

Why do you think the rest of the planet envies us?

No, it's Puerto Ricans.

Why do you think the US is trying to get them to become a state?

The story is true but it is slanted and inaccurate. Middle Class and wealthy Indians are just as well endowed as anyone can be but most of the Indians in the study are from poor classes.

Peniz size is smaller in poor communities everywhere in the world where men do not have proper underwear and their genitals are exposed to pollution and dirt. The penis shrivels up to protect itself. This is the case everywhere. Low calorie vegetarian diet also contributes to lower testosterone.

In poor communities AIDS is fast increasing so their needs have to be recognised and met. This was the purpose of the study. The news article must have annoyed every well endowed Indian man for generalising.

Statistically it has been proven mixed race people have the best set of genes for athletic and sexual prowess because nature selects the best when the genes are most varied.

Uh, this story started in the Indian press, so your knee-jerk western-bashing is unfounded.
