International Condom Conference: Size Matters

According to one American entrpreneur, Frank Sadlo, founder of condom company TheyFit, which manufacture what Frank claims are the world's first "custom-fit" condoms.

It's not just about well-endowed men in cramped prophylactic quarters, Sadlo told a meeting Thursday of delegates from 21 countries under the Geneva-based International Organization for Standardization. When given a choice, he said many men prefer condoms smaller than the standard minimum 6.3 inches long, with more than half ordering those less than 5.12 inches.

Frank says new standards and choices will encourage more acceptance and use of the condom, to the benefit of all mankind.

The five day meeting of delegates from over 21 countries is the 24th meeting of it's kind, which began in 1975. Not only are standards under discussion, but innovation and creativity in design, features and packaging.

Innovation for male condoms has focused on adding textures to enhance sexual pleasure, or offering different colors or lubricants. At the meeting, South Korean manufacturer Unidus displayed its "Long-Love" condom — featuring desensitizing cream inside to prevent premature ejaculation so men "make a lasting impression."

How long does it have to go before you make a lasting impression, is it longer than say, oh just to pull a number out of the air, sixty seconds?

Condoms can vary in width, but generally do not vary in length.

Widths vary but condom length is usually standard, as it believed latex can stretch to fit all men. The average adult penis is 5-6 inches long, experts said.

Huh.

Well I think they're lying.
