condom shopping,does size matter?
Posted: 10/12/2005 4:08:53 AM
Have made a mental note of this for a while, Ever notice in the condom section, that they dont sell, 'size small?' I guess for some obvious reason, ie, the male ego , and prowess of manhood that they would be on the clearance rack in less than six months! (or whatever expiry)

Can you imagine, the cashier calls out,, "price check for size small condoms !!" cashier 4 ???

Seriously , I would imagine size extra large is the best seller!

Come on guys! do all of you, .... yes............. the ones who behave and wear them, do you buy the xtra large for show value? or , as someone once told me, its like wearing boxers vs briefs!

good question actually,...i happen to use a 'slimmer fit' condom,..and it's always embarassing buying them,...i usually scout out a location to make sure there aren't any cute girls working behind the counter,then buy alot of other stuff to make it seem less obvious,.....just for fun,..i tried buying xxl magnums one time when a hot girl was working,...she just looked at me like 'yeah right buddy'

seriously, why do guys buy the magnum's and then after every 3 strokes they are having to reposition the condom so it "fits" again. there is nothing sexy about watchin a man fight with a comdom the whole time. its actually really funny!! i had 1 man tell me to stop squeezing my muscle cause i was pulling it off. i couldn't stop laughing, what nerve huh. then when the condom is hanging off of you, you do look smaller than if the condom fit. honestly!!!

good topic by the way!!!!!!

Well I used to have a need for them but having been married for 4 years and with the same partner for almost 8, don't use them anymore.

Now as condoms go there is a certain rule to follow. For maximum pleasure, specially for the man... condom should not be to tight. It should be a bit loose, but not too much as it's purpose, aside from protecting against STD's is to keep sperm inside. One good advice too would be to put a drop or two of water based lubricant inside... makes wonders for your willy ;-)

condom shopping,does size matter? ....do you buy the xtra large for show value?

Condom size does NOT matter physically to 90-97% of the male population.According to studies,the average RANGE of the erect male penis length is 4-8.5"(according to studies 90-97% of the male pop fits this),the average range of circumference is 4-5.8".According to studies ONLY 3% of the male population is over or under BOTH.Obviously the further over or UNDER those perameters the 10-3% of the male population may be the more the need due to discomfort for larger or smaller sized condoms.Condoms are elastic,so even a man who is 9" but who is in the average range of circumference would have no PHYSICAL issue with most regular condoms in terms of comfort of fit even though he too is in the 10-3% of the male population over OR UNDER the average range.The further man is OVER the circumference of 5.8" however,the more NEED for a "larger" condom for physical comfort.The more UNDER the circumference of 4" the more need for a smaller condom. Again,ONLY 10-3% of the male population is according to studies OVER OR UNDER.Not all "larger" condoms are actually larger and some are longer but not wider at the base while others are wider at the base.

It DOES matter mentally/psychologically to a greater percentage of the male population because a greater number than 10% of condom sales are for "larger" size condoms.While the market of "smaller" condoms is limited to novelty/gag.Stands to reason that if 3-10% of the male population is over or UNDER the average range that fewer than 10% of the male population is OVER.Its even likely that as little as 2% of the male population is OVER the average range in both length and circumference.

On a lighter note, I would like to dedicate the revised lyrics of this Gloria Gaynor classic as an ode to all you lovely ladies on POF who thought there was a beast in the bag when your new-found date tossed a box of Durex XXLs on the bedside table. That is, until he got undressed...



Gloria Gaynor -- I Will Survive (resized)

At first I was afraid I was petrified
When you said you had ten inches, Lord I almost died!
But I'd spent so many years just waiting for a man that long
That I grew strong, and I knew that I could take you on

But there you stood, another lie
I was craving a Big Mac instead you'd brought me a French Fry
I should have known that it was bullshit, just a sad pathetic dream
Should have known there was no anaconda hiding in those jeans

Go on now go, walk out the door
Don't you promise me ten inches, then show up with only four
How could you ever think that I would not find you out
I am only joking
I am only joking when I say size doesn't count

Do you know why, I will survive?
Cuz as long as they sell batteries my sex life is gonna thrive

I will always have good sex, with a handful of latex
I'll survive I will survive
Hey hey

(Music)

It took all my self control not to laugh out loud
When I saw your little wiener standing tall and proud
But to hell with all your egos and to hell with all your needs,
Now I'm saving all my lovin' for a cordless multispeed!

Oh go on now go, I will survive
Cuz as long as they sell batteries my sex life's gonna thrive

I will always have good sex, with a handful of latex
I'll survive I will survive
Hey hey

I do believe that most men wish we needed large or extra large. I will admit to having allowed my ego to make the decision, and found that XL is certainly not for me. Personaly the tighter the fit, the more sensation and closer to 'bare-back', so I will suggest the smaller the better... in condoms at least

Secretly? I wait around at the pharmacy and pretend I'm browsing cosmetics and carefully watch to see which men pick the extra large ones...and then I make my move!

Now that was funny.

Before I was fixed, I wore condoms all the time, but even the large sizes were uncomfortable, not because they wouldn't fit, but because of the unrolled latex ring down at the base of the, uh, 'tree' made me feel like the 'ol sequoia was choking, to say nothing of the times when you catch a few hairs underneath. Ow.

I had found the natural membrane condoms to far superior in terms of feeling transmission, and ease of installation. Just pull em on like a sock.
