quote:A condom maker today said the launch of a new extra big version had been flop in the UK because British men were too shy to buy them.

Condomi bought out its XXL condom in January but says sales in the UK have been disappointing compared with Germany, France and Italy.

It believes one reason could be that British men are too modest about their size.

Dr Glenn Wilson, a psychologist employed by condomi to examine the issue, said: "Research shows that most men rate their penis as smaller than average, which of course is not true, and may be an illusion based on the distorted view of the genitals from above.

"Knowledge of this effect may be reassuring to many men and help raise their self-esteem."

The condomi XXL is 200mm long, 20mm longer than its standard size, and 54mm across, 2mm wider than its other products.

Pah.. a mere trifle..

Too shy to buy them??? Can someone tell me what the fcuk is embarassing about buying XXL condoms???? This article was obviously written by a catholic or a spinster or something.

Personally I get mine from the USA (sister in law send 'em over ).

I'd heard that condoms now come in three sizes:
* Large
* Extra Large and
* "Surely sir is exaggerating?".

Mind you in fairness the Durex advert is quite good esp compared with te Vauxhaul lawyer case. BTW isn't an Iteractive Driving System the steering wheel?

I think the original report is right, blokes in this country don't go around saying "I've got a huge wonger"

Maybe our lot buy the size that fits, rather than being greasy and trying to impress the bird on the checkout?!?!

Maybe we just buy them on the internet...?

or.. perhaps more Brits are in stable relationships and the need for sleeping around (and therefore use of wellies) with a long term partner is diminished?


EDIT - or then again, maybe we just like it tight!
