About men and their ever-growing…

This week, a remarkable little study landed in my inbox that I am more than happy to share with you. A webshop selling condoms found that over the past five years, the sales of extra large condoms have increased enormously, by 85%. But, and here comes the twist, the average length of the penis is still exactly the same. So what is growing here?

Not the penis, but the male ego is. The webshop asked 11,340 customers about their penis length and over the past years, the average has remained between 12 and 17 centimeters. The question is, why are men suddenly buying larger condoms? Have they collectively decided that they are ashamed of their length? Do they suddenly feel super duper insecure? If they buy those things in the store and feel embarrassed in front of the shop girl to buy a small size, I can somewhat understand that (a tiny bit), but this is about a website so it’s all fairly anonymous.

Aside from the fact that it’s all just ridiculous posturing and vanity, it’s also simply not very smart. A condom that is too large will slip off more quickly and can also tear more easily due to the extra friction, the CEO of the webshop explains. So, men of the Netherlands, just stop with that nonsense and put your friend in a properly fitting bag. Thank you.
