| The Myth Of The Magnums....
Posted: 2/3/2006 8:05:39 PM | For those of you not familiar with Magnums, they are a 'large' condom made by Trojan. For weeks now I've seen men, usually black men, come in and ask for them over and over again.
I was beginning to think I was the last 6incher in the world...
That somehow in my sleep, men had evolved bigger, thicker, longer penises than my through-back to the dark ages.
Well a few nights ago we finally got a shipment of them and curiousity forced me to try one on. I admit, I was prepared to cry myself to sleep with spare inches of latex hanging from my underdeveloped sad excuss of manhood.
Imagine my suprise when I discovered that Trojan Magnums fit perfectly?!?!
There were no extra inches of latex hanging from me, nor rolled up unused at the base. The width was just right as to be snug and not loose at all. In fact they are even tappered at the end for a snugger fit at the base, where a lot of men tend to be narrower.
Upon reflection it makes perfect sense...
The only thing bigger about these condoms are their packaging!
How many would trojan sell if they could only be used by 10" porn stars?
Of course they fit average guys, that's where the money is!
Now average Joes can walk proudly into a store, lady at their side, and request "two boxes of Trojan Magnums please" to her amazement and perhaps excitement!
(just keep the lights off so the mood is prematurly spoiled guys) | |

Remember it's not how big...it's the motion of the ocean sweeties. | |

That whole post was priceless! I'm just tickled! 
The dudes won't be able to do that with me...as I can't do latex...but I have a pretty funny story...
I am with my man and we are in the drug store picking up the one size fits all Avanti non-latex condoms that have reduced me to the Elaine technique of sponge worthiness fame, due to the prohibitive price. So without looking at any prices, signs etc...I grab the box and head to the lineup with Mr. Worthiness in tow. Much to my relief, as all we were buying was the condoms....there is a lovely old lady cashier, so I am thinking phew. When it's our turn we approach the cashier and place our purchase on the counter with the intent of paying and getting the f... out of there as we had things to do. So, doesn't the little old cashier lady kindly inform us that this particular product is on a buy two packanges get one free special...well always being a bit thrifty myself I replies well that's a pretty good deal...I guess we should take two more boxes then...and Mr. Worthiness does the old "Yes" with the bicep curling fisty thing and all ,right in front of all the waiting customers and the kindly old cashier lady...who couldn't help but smirk throughout the rest of the transaction while Mr. Worthiness beamed.

I'm on a vitamin & ginsana regimine, i happen to run out of supplies all at the same time....i walk into a local drug store,gather what i need and procede to the counter and flop down vitamins,ginsana,big bottle of motrin,a 12 pack of magnums,a bottle of astroglide, a couple of nice candles that i thought might help ''set the mood''........the 70-something greatgranny running the checkout line never looked up as she started to scan my items but one by one she started to notice what i was buying......when she got the total she finally looked up at me.....mind you she's barely 5 foot tall and i'm 6-4/300,when she looked up her mouth fell open,she would look at the items then back at me......i could see the look in her eyes & read her mind,she must have been thinkin'*This big SOB is going to screw somebody to death!!* the look on her face was priceless!!!!
I fumbled with the money as she carelessly looked at each item again as she bagged them........i headed toward but had to look back one time & sure enough the ''granny'' was watching me walk toward the door,i think she might have been in shock or having a flashback to days gone by!
It was one of the few times in my life i was truly embarrassed & uncomfortable when not an unappropriate word was said......it was all in the way she looked at me that did me in. | |

Are they really? Cause I didn't find them to be any wider. It was still very snug on the hips as usual. And I honestly think they are shorter in the length department, because I can't roll some condoms all the way down (be gentle), but these I could.
My female co-workers got a good kick out my excitement this morning after having tried one on. I even teased them about carrying around the empty box in my pocket so that I could do this number...
"Hmmm, what's this in my pocket....oh my...it's my box of MAGNUMS....how on earth did that get there?"  | |

Posted: 2/4/2006 7:26:58 AM | The marketing campaign is excellent. I mean, for all us phallocentric dudes, there's no embarrassment factor at all if a cute cashier sees us purchasing a box of Magnums.
But I get Magnums because, from my experience, I simply find them more durable. | |

I was also trying to figure out why they are called Magnums in the first place and alll I can fathom is that they are taken from Tom Selleck's old show, Magnum P.I., PI of course standing for private investigator.....am I close? | |

Posted: 2/4/2006 8:48:29 AM | Think .44 Magnum autoloader. One big f*cking gun. Makes a pinhole going in and a hole the size of a dinner plate going out.
I believe it's either greek or latin for large. | |

Posted: 2/4/2006 9:13:11 AM | Yeah, they are bigger - if not bigger they are at least made looser. Kinda like socks. When you start out with 6 - 10 or 10 - 13 they all look pretty much the same, but try stretching out the 6-10 socks to fit your size 12 feet and see how comfortable they are.
I have had problems with condoms for years - the dang things would just keep coming off no matter what I tried. The last person I seriously dated went out and bought a box of Magnums (she kept trying to tell me I was bigger than normal but to this day I still don't believe it). We had a small somewhat animated discussion about how I wasn't putting the dang thing on because I couldn't keep the regular ones on so there was no way the bigger ones were going to stay on, and I was in no mood to be humiliated, etc, but I finally relented and tried it. To my amazement, not only did it fit comfotably, but I have not had one come off since. I'm not saying I'm bigger, but there is something different about them that makes them stay on better - at least for me. Apparently the regular ones were just too tight, and since Mr. Happy is rather tapered they just kept sliding down.
YMMV but they do make a difference for me. | |

Posted: 2/4/2006 9:57:21 AM | lady,
A sense of humor is far more sexy than any physical endowment.
Easy for you to say, when is the last time you laughed so hard you had an orgasm? | |
