BERLIN — While the British general in The Last of the Mohicans may have insisted that the French have no stomach for war because they just want to stay home and make love with their faces, the modern French think otherwise. In fact, according to a recent study, what the French want are bigger condoms so they can make love with their penises.According to a study conducted by the Institute of Condom Consultancy in Singen Germany featuring 10,500 men from 25 countries over a period of eight months, different nationalities may very well have different condom needs.
Study participants were asked to measure their penises and share the numbers with a database. The results may make for some fascinating bathroom graffiti.
Logging in as the longest in Europe were the French, with an average of 6.09-inches. Greeks, infamous for their alleged preference for anal sex, measured about an inch shorter, making their condom needs the most humble of the region.
The Institute of Condom Consultancy offers online condom fit and size information and hosts the “Pimp Your Condom” annual sexuality fair in collaboration with the national AIDS Trust. The survey, like many of the Institute’s offerings, hopes to educate young people about the value of effective contraception and STD prevention.
Institute researcher Jan Vinzenz Krause, who made headlines with a “spray-on condom” prototype, declined comment to Reuters about whether any of the subjects might have exaggerated about the lengths to which their genitals actually engorge.
