About men and their ever growing…

This week a remarkable research report landed in my mailbox that I am only too glad to share with you. A web shop selling condoms found that the sale of extra-large condoms has increased enormously over the last five years – by 85%. However… here it comes… the average length of the willy remains exactly the same. So what is growing?

It turns out not to be the willy but the male ego. The web shop asked 11,340 clients about their penis length and, lo and behold, this has remained between 12 and 17 centimetres over recent years. The question then is why are men suddenly buying bigger condoms? Have they all at once collectively decided to be ashamed of their length? Do they suddenly feel super-duper unconfident? I can understand it (a tiny bit) if they bought the things in a shop and felt embarrassed asking the shop girl for a size small, but this is about a website so it’s all pretty anonymous.

Apart from the fact that the whole matter smacks of rampant exhibitionism and vanity, it is also just plain stupid. According to the web shop CEO, a too large condom is more likely to accidently slip off and can also more easily tear due to the extra friction. So, men of The Netherlands, stop this nonsense and slip a well-fitting raincoat over your best friend. Thank you.
