French say they need biggest condoms

BERLIN (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. Jan Vinzenz 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.
