German penises "too small" for EU condoms.
http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_358876.html

German penises 'too small for EU condoms'

Germany has demanded a rethink on EU guidelines on condom size after finding its average penis did not measure up.

.snip.

They reported the EU has overestimated the size of the average penis by almost 20% and insist other countries will discover the same.

Urologist Gunther Hagler, head of the team compiling the research, said: "By checking hundreds of patients we found German penises were too small for standard EU condoms.

"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, adding: "We think the EU has got its sums wrong, and if other countries were to check out their men's assets they would find the EU has made a mistake in its calculations.

.more.

32. uh, huh
my favorite line is Chris Rock when he says that women lie about how good you are during sex and as soon as you leave "they run to some real dick".

Guys, size matters and women say that to make us feel us better. End of story.

jusk ask CatWoman :)

2. damn
and I once got dumped for a German with a bigger penis. although, come to think of it, it does explain a lot of the warmongering problem, doesn't it?

7. Thanks!
I was wondering what the conversion was. And, as a woman, yes, I would be disappointed with that. Size may not be the only thing, but it DOES matter. :-)

9. Actually 2 sizes in EU - and 5.7 is the large - small is 4,7 (20% of males
Of course that is errect

There are two variations on errect size - one is the getting hard - with little increase in size, and the other is a massive increase in size as it gets hard- but which gives you the 2.5 inch flacid.

So Clarence watches the unusual males with 12 inches or more flacid - but only at the USSC in his office - not at home because he has family values.

16. The EU "standard" is not real life - the 2 sizes -4.7 and 5.7 are real
And the 2.5 flacid to double in size to 4.7 to 5.0 hard is normal

It is not normal for the "6" flacid to double in size to "12" hard

What we need is a good body part survey by village around the world!

40. Metric or English??
If you're talking about centimeters, *none* of those condoms would fit an average guy. And if you refer to inches, they'd still be a tight fit.

Of course, most condoms are s-t-r-e-t-c-h-y. It's amazing the punishment those things will take! My colleagues and I have blown them up to the size of watermelons as party balloons and/or filled them with several gallons of water for a laugh (and those are the cheap ones the state buys for pennies a piece).

As a Politically Correct DU female, I must - of course - confess that penises only come in three sizes: Large, Extra-large, and Thank-You-Goddess!

38. How true!
Besides, there are gals out there who are of a more petite structure that appreciate that there are men out there who aren't build like Rex the Wild Stallion.

Sex can be like stuffing a size 9 foot into a size 5 shoe -- it can work but damn it don't feel so good. :)

23. My ex was German, and boy did he have a nice sausage!
It's larger than the EU average and about the size as mine, too (an added incentive? :evilgrin: )

If Hitler controlled Germany, he'd chop off everybody elses' wieners so he'd look larger... :eyes:

27. I'm german and I work in the urology-department of a hospital...
and it seems to me that Hagler is right. Even if you go for that presumptions that asians would have smaller dicks and african men would have larger dicks. It's true, but it comes to milimeters in difference.
Although, oops...

In retrospect those were better. (And there are statistics: standard deviation....; not to mention: those EU norms are Bull-**** - desks are far too small for example)

31. Hitler has only got on ball
Goering, has two but they are small.
Himmler has something similar
But mostly Germans have no balls at all.

<no offense intended to anyone>

34. LOL!
I heard that song as:

Hitler has only got one ball,
Himmler has two but they are small
Goering is busy comparing,
And Goebbels has no balls at all!

(No offense intended to anyone but top-ranking Nazis.)

36. I was told more than once by German women that....
Once you've slept with an American you never want anything to do with German men. I don't think was necessarily a size thing just that they are a bit odd.

One summer I had a girlfriend who didn't want her neighbors to know that she was "seeing" an American. She wanted to marry a German but if word got out many of them would have nothing to do with her. We used to meet at the schwimbad and sneak back to her place. Great Summer.

37. It might help explain their aggressive tendencies thru history-
In one respect, they're just plain mad at the world,

and in the other- they're driven to overcompensate.

case in point, The Gustav Gun:
