Condoms too big for Indians

Doctors are calling for smaller condoms to be made for India after a survey revealed existing ones are too big.

More than 1,200 volunteers from all over the country had their penises measured precisely, down to the last millimetre.

About 60% had penises three to five centimetres shorter than international standards, making condoms more likely to slip off.

Doctor Chander Puri, of the Indian Council of Medical Research, said there was a need in India for custom-made condoms.

Mr Puri said there should be vending machines dispensing different size condoms all around the country.

"There is anxiety talking about the issue. And normally one feels shy to go to a chemist's shop and ask for a smaller size condom," he told the BBC.

Sunil Mehra, former editor of the Indian version of the men's magazine Maxim, said Indian men should not feel embarrassed.

"It's not size, it's what you do with it that matters," he said. "From our population, the evidence is Indians are doing pretty well."
