French say they need biggest condoms

(Reuters) – The French say they need the largest condoms in Europe
while Greeks get by on smaller ones, according to a Europe-wide study
by a German consultancy that provides advice on condoms.

The study by the Singen-based Institute of Condom Consultancy was done
by asking 10,500 men in 25 countries to measure their penis and enter
the number into a database.

The results show Frenchmen on average claim to need 15.48-cm
(6.09-inch) long condoms, about 3 cm longer than Greeks, whose
condom-size requirement was the most modest.

Harry Krause, the institute's director, told Reuters Friday the data
was collected over a period of eight months.

He did not want to comment on how honest he thought the Frenchmen had
been in reporting the data.

The survey was aimed at educating youngsters about the importance of
effective contraception.

The institute also offers online condom-size advice and hosts "Pimp
Your Condom" -- an annual fair organised in cooperation with the
national Aids Trust -- with the aim of educating teens about sexually
transmitted diseases.

Krause was in the spotlight in the past when he produced a prototype
of the "spray-on condom" -- an aerosol can which contains latex that
creates a perfectly fitting condom. But the idea was not developed
further.
