Government Spent $224,863 On "Custom-Fit" Condoms
Money well-spent, we are sure some would suggest; but when the National Institute of Health spends $224,863 to test 95 "custom-fitted" condoms so every hard-working American man can choose the one that fits 'just right', we suggest the government is stretching the tax dollar a little too far. As NY Post reports, the study was prompted by concern that despite the wide-scale promotion of latex condoms to help prevent the spread of HIV, their use remains "disappointingly low," because, the government says, one-third to one-half of men complain of poor-fitting prophylactics and are less likely to use them... apparently. Of course, we assume, when questioned, all said the condom was 'too small'.
...
The NIH blames US “regulatory guidelines” for American men having to choose from a “narrow range of condom sizes.”
The six-figure grant was awarded to TheyFit of Covington, Ga., which offers a wide variety of condoms that vary in length — from a bit more than 3 inches to nearly 9 ¹/? — and in width.
They’re available in European Union countries, but not in the United States, where they would have to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
“For most of their existence, condoms were custom fitted,” TheyFit explains on its Web site.
“For hundreds of years, until the early part of the 20th century, they were made of linen or animal gut fitted to over individual penis sizes.”
But the introduction of latex, mass production of condoms and other factors created what the firm calls “the ‘one size fits all’ condom.”
For the man who doesn’t know his own penis size, TheyFit offers a free downloadable “FitKit.”
...
In 2009, the NIH financed a $423,500 study to find out why condom usage is so low in the United States.
Brings a whole new meaning to Obama's new "Promise Zones"...
But for those intrigued enough... here is @OnionSlayer 's informative map of the world's penis size...
And before you freak out (the scale is in cm not inches)...

thats like a min of POMO yo! premature ejaculation level gov spending right there...
They need to focus on creating a condom for politicians that prevents them from jizzing all over America.
I am Chumbawmaba.
this auta be good
It was during the high period of the British Empire, the Brits discovered that the Arabs had been using sheep gut as condoms. The Brits in their inevitable eccentric nature, improved upon the concept by removing the gut from the sheep before its use.
Infidel!...ROTFL!!!
Look, I really do love you and besides.... these things never fit me right. It has NOTHING to do with the fact it feels like I'm wearing a glove over it.
"The Brits in their inevitable eccentric nature, improved upon the concept by removing the gut from the sheep before its use."
not trying to start an argument, but ..
what makes that an "improvement"?
baaaaa
there might be a little african in my canadian jeans
If she is real little , she just might fit.
I'm surprised they don't just outlaw unwanted pregnancies and STDs.
Well this is one area where at least a lot of inflation is a good thing...
They never fit for shit..., always way too big.
Er, wait..., I meant too small, TOO SMALL!
You're too quick, that's to COME

ewe !!!
self-strangulation condom-like head-wrap would be pref actually....get them off the planet asap! (fer da venal dickheadz they all r..)
I came up with a campaign idea years ago that instead of tea bags, we should organize and send our congress critters all condoms with a note saying "If you plan to keep screwing us, at least wear these while you do it." The campaign was to be called the CONDOMNATION. The mass mailing would be the mass CONDOMNATION of congress.
We got bogged down in a manifesto and it never happened, but a few of us were starting to get organized to actually do it.
So, no happy ending then? ;-)
Yeah, Miles talked about it with me over lunch one time and was all excited about it. Sounds like a good idea but it might only encourage them to go rape someone. Maybe we should send them blow-up dolls instead?
-Chumblez.
Count me in.
The problem is that they are still sticking into Americans.

"thats like a min of POMO yo!"
Actually, it's just under 7 seconds of pomo.
Talk about envy. Look how much of Africa they left grey!
Oh man ! ! !
Now I got to get out the conversion tool ! ! !
Oh you're american? Let me help you, your average is size small.
Here in Europe, condoms are primarily measured in mm of width (not girth), so called nominal width: http://con-doms.weebly.com/nominal-width.html . Length is not the main indicator for individual condom size needs. Width makes much more sense: If the length of the condom is too short, it won't cause pain as long as the width fits. Don't go all-in and you're protected from diseases and not just pregnancy, too. If the width is too narrow, however, it will be painful and might burst.
As the article says, differently sized condoms are available in every pharmacy or online here in Europe, prescrition free ;-). They're cheap and literally every width and length can be purchased.
But our politicians (both genders!) and bureaucrats are enormous dickheads. Meanwhile, most American men have been totally deflated by the constant assault of feminism, political correctness, end PBAs That's why Viagra is so popular.
I want a box of XXXLong'n'Wide -- they make the best water balloons.
I thought those were FEMA bags?
Like taking a shower with knit socks on.
DHS approved this grant - they were told these were "body bags"
Were they hollow-points?
Not long enough.

I'd say thats about right.

Maybe Kathleen Sebelius ;-)
Looks like a paper bag?

Thats the one.
Sold with Kate Upton's picture on it all the way through checkout, its the damndest money making thing in the known universe.
Did they use Howie Mandel's head in that study?
That is where they got the Canadian stats from.
Only for the 5:1 gang bang.
Yes it's the ill fit that makes men not want to wear condoms.
Now really, in the US there is enough information out there that a man of free will can make a choice that is appropriate for him an or her. Our govenment is one of denial. They know the truth as to why most men don't like to wear condoms but that just isn't the answer they want so now they have to invent an answer that fits their narrative better. The narrative that states "we must continue to invent more and more ways to nickel and dime the taxpayer until we have all the nickel and dimes".
So the Canuks have bigger peckers than the Yanks. That's a bit of a poke in the eye.
Poke in the eye? I thought it was a poke in the Y. No wonder I need an extra large - NOT!
well most Americans gain an extra inch when you push the fat back from around the base
It's based on average...ahem...
JOKE:
A dwarf walks in to the pharmacy and asks for the biggest condom in a squeaky voice. He is shown a 12 inch, 14 inch and 16" condom but is not satisfied. The pharmacist tells him that he will have to order the biggest one in.
A few days later he goes to the pharmacy and is handed a large packet. He opens it and finds a huge condom in there. He unrolls it and proceeds to put it over his head all the way down to his feet. He then asks the pharmacist how he looks.
The pharmacist replies, "you actually look like a big prick."
Dward replies: "That's fine by me, because I am sick of my friends calling me a little cunt."

They really expect "real men" to download the FitKit and do what...whack off to gauge the perfect fit? Seems more geared toward the onesie pajama wearing crowd who real men don't have a problem with there being any less of to begin with.
"Oh yes, lets get some hot chocolate and discuss the new FitKit download!!!"...lol.
Actually the FitKit is comprised of a set of internal calipers used to measure the width of which one of the Mrs's hair curlers slides most comfortably over a fully engorged penis.
"Yes, honey, I adore your new curlers. No, they don't make your ass look big."
Well they say its good for the skin, so its gotta be good for the hair! ;-)
Gives a whole new meaning to "butch wax"
I wouldn't touch that with one your wife's curlers ;-)
Dippity-Do ?
Wonder if the FEDs would provide funding for such a project on my planet. We use alligator hides there.
They need a fucking tuba to make a custom size for me.
Boy, does this sound racist to me. /sarc

Try and find a copy of "The Wild Girl's Club" by Anka Radakovich. She devoted a couple of chapters to condoms (female as well) in the book (It's absolutely hysterical!)
I’ll bet Obama is wearing a female condom when Reggy pays him a visit. :p
This is a nifty-good idea.
Mail your used condom to:
The Pope
c/o The Vatican,
The Rome,
The Italy.
they gladly accept them from nambla
You can keep your .gov condoms, I like making creampies !!!
Hey. The world is full of crooked junk. What can you do about it?
Umm, send'em to prison till they mend their ways? :>D
I must have some Conganese relatives
"For the man who doesn't know his own penis size" so this research is exclusively for that one guy? you'd think that after a lifetime of peeing every guy would have that information. my own 'research' tells me The Legend works for me. no NIH grant needed.
I notice the bottom map does not expose the size of Antarctican penii ...

Penis dimension
Penis dimension is worrying me
I can't hardly sleep at night
'Cause of penis dimension
Do you worry?
Do you worry a lot?
No!
Do you worry?
Do you worry and moan . . .
That the size of your cock is not monstruous enough?
It's your penis dimension!
Penis dimension!
Howard:
Wah ooo-wah ooo-wah ooo-wah
Wah ooo-wah ooo-wah ooo-wah
Mark: Hiya friends. Now just be honest about it. Did you ever consider the possiblity that your penis, and in the case of many dignified ladies, that the size of the titties themselves might provide elements of sub-conscious tension? Weird, twisted anxieties that could force a human being to have to become a politician! A policeman! A jesuit monk
Howard?: [...]
Mark: A rock and roll guitar player! A wino! You name it. Or in the case of the ladies, the ones that can't afford a silicone BEEF-UP, may become writers of hot books
Howard: "Manuel, the gardener, placed his burning phallus in her quivering quim."
Mark: Yes, or they become Carmelite nuns!
Howard: "Gonzo, the lead guitar player, placed his mutated member in her slithering slit." Ha ha ha!
Mark: Ooh, or racehorse jockeys. There is no reason why you, or your loved one should suffer. Things are bad enough, without the size of your organ adding even more misery to the TROUBLES OF THE WORLD!
Howard: Right on, right on!
Mark: Now, if your a lady and you've got munchkin tits, you can console yourself with this age-old line from primary school:
Mark & Howard: ANYTHING OVER A MOUTHFUL IS WASTED! YES!
Mark: And isn't it the truth? And if you're a guy, and one night you're at a party and you're trying to be cool, I mean, you aren't even wearing any underwear, you're being so cool, and somebody hits on you one night, and he looks you up and down and he says, uh . . .
Howard: Eight inches or less?
Mark: Well let me tell you, brothers, that's the time when you got to turn around and look that sonofabitch right between the eyes, and you got to tell him these words:
And if his dick is a monster
If his dick is a monster
If his dick is a monster
They will give him their hearts
Howard:
Hold it! Please hold it!
My God, Madge . . . you voluptuous New York City slit . . .
Why didn't you tell me before?
It was so hard to tell with your little blousey-poo on, but . . .
Now that I see you . . . I would have helped . . .
I didn't know you were so obviously . . . PREGNANT . . .
I've got the thing you need
I am endowed beyond your wildest
Clearasil-spattered fantasies
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah . . .
Girls from all over the world
Flock to write my name on the toilet walls
Of the Whisky A-Go-Go
For I am Bwana Dik
I am Bwana Dik
Me Bwana Dik
Yo! Me Bwana Dik
Say!
My dick is a monster
Give me your heart
Chorus:
Bwana Dik is a legend
Enormous thou art
Howard:
My dick is a Harley
You kick it to start
Chorus:
Bwana Dik speaks
The heavens will part
Howard:
My dick is a dagger
I'll force it to fit
My dick is a reamer, baby
To scream up your slit
Chorus:
Steam it!
Ream it!
Cream it
They approached the problem incorrectly. They should have researched penis enlargment technology so the largest condom fit properly.
The Magnums are always out of stock, but the regular size acts like a cock ring so it's O.K.
What I'd like to know is how do they come up with this data. I mean are actual measurements taken or is this a verbal survey ( must not be or every guy would report his cock on par with John Holmes). Is this really a random selection of men?
Condoms were our method of birth control because I couldn't take the pill. Mr absolutely hated them and said they radically reduced his pleasure. This is obviously why they aren't used. I'm sure this is why men want women to take the Pill. However, since it's introduction, our society has been exposed to massive amount of estrogens unlike before. Who knows what this has done to us? Very little research has been done in this area. My old boss wanted to explore if there were a possible connection between the pill and homosexuality and was told to cease by the institute where he did his research. Social and chemical effemination is bombarding men at every turn. Soon they will have no need for condoms.
Miffed;-)
despite the wide-scale promotion of latex condoms to help prevent the spread of HIV, their use remains "disappointingly low,"
The reason they are not popular is because it affects the sensation. In any case, lots of infections - like herpes and HPV - are not prevented by condoms. Americans have the worst sexual health of any advanced nation.
Here is my concept - FDA-approved - which is guaranteed to wipe out HIV and everything else that is testable when used in a population.

A more interesting point to ponder would be:
The other map: the one showing the average depth of Pussy in these regions would allow us to compare the average length with the average depth.
We would certainly see that depth exceeds length around the World,
meaning a lot of Pussy is wasted world-wide and remains unused for an entire lifetime.
I'm intrigued and would like to subscribe to your newsletter!
The pussy-dick spread. Wall Street will manage to arbitrage that.
Condoms?
Don't need 'em - tieing a knot works fine for me
Mine's not long enough to tie it in a knot.
The Secret Service Demanded it!
The standard had poor-fitting prophylactics so I tried GOLD and it was just right...
I think my wife helped with the study she said she has been having a hard time at work and is always complains about how long she has to work
Oops - I thought this was from the Onion.
Good to know that as the government sticks it up your ass, they are concerned about protection.

I'm mostly pissed off the NIH didn't invite me to participate in the test.
If the glove don't fit, you must acquit.
