5% to 10% Of Men Can't Legally Buy Condoms That Fit Without Huge Risk Of It Breaking

Averages should be always be segregated to countries when it comes to condom manufacturing.

Why should a condom manufacturer care about the global average when there is a clear difference per country? Might be funny to point and laugh but the average condom will not be a one size fits all deal. Sure it might "fit" but it has an increase chance of tearing or being too loose.

In the US, the massive amount of diversity means there's a gigantic range of average sizes in the male population.

suggestion: just get more girth and that shit never falls off

Thats not how it works. If you have too much girth, the condom slides up your dick some. This is because, as I have said before, your dick is bigger at the base and narrower at the head.

If the condom doesn't stay at the bottom of your dick, the friction of sex will slowly cause it to completely slide off.

I assume you can only order these on line? I currently use Magnums and they tend to break often :/.

Edit: Never mind, if the XL's are just longer but don't provide more girth than whatever.

Try Durex LOVE, they're a bit wider (56mm instead of 54mm). Anything wider than that and you'll have to go black market.

Regular condoms bar magnums, can often kill my erection because they are way too tight. I had never really tried magnums until recently. World of difference. I used to think something was wrong with me and it's not like I'm very large.

Man, condoms in the U.S. Are BS. I swear the "Magnums" here are like other country's mediums. I gave up on using condoms as a teen after too many broke and A few pregnancy scares. Luckily I'm married now and I don't have to use them. My wife's got this little birth control thing they injected in to her arm that lasts 3-4 years so that's just swell :D I don't need any kids at the moment. It would just leech off of my wallet and I'd be even more stretched for cash lol.

It's weird. I used Magnums, took me forever to finish, and my penis felt like it was suffocating. My girlfriend at the time noticed this, and bought me some XLs. Haven't had a problem since.

Came in to protest the ridiculous use of the word "legal" in the title, saw it was EU, backed out, chagrined.

I dont understand why you posted this...

So what actually is the chance of it breaking?

Each additional centimeter of penile circumference increased the risk of condom breakage by 50-100%. This finding suggests a need to increase either the range of condom sizes available or the lateral extension of currently available condoms." So by the FDA not allowing the production of larger condoms or the sale of European ones; men with larger dicks have an increased chance of condom breakage by 200% or more

They didn't account for NeoGAF Dick when they made the regulations, obviously.

If a condom can't fit comfortably over a tallboy and last for 45 minutes of friction, its trash.
 
Allowing the sale of condoms that have been approved by the regulatory agencies of comparably developed countries seems like common sense governance.

This seems like a legitimate, if minor issue that MRAs should be promoting. Are they?

It doesn't have anything to do with being misogynists so no, they aren't.

Fuck no. I would never want those people to speak on behalf of men's sexual health.

That doesn't answer my question. It is only a percent with no baseline.

According to the 4th source provided it is 1.34% for everyone in the test group.

Misogyny is endemic among men's rights activists, no question - fundamental, even, to many of their positions - but there are kernels of real problems and concerns, both political and psychoemotional, interspersed throughout the movement, itself. They're always looking for more legitimacy to get their message out and expand their ranks, like all fringe movements, so you'd think that they'd pounce on easy and agreeable things like this.

I dunno, was just a stray thought.

The problem is they can only position their movement as a mirror to feminism because despite having some legitimate issues to raise awareness of they really just don't like women and all the of issues they've ever seemed to coalesce behind are filtered through this twisted ideology.

I agree, there is proper shit that we need to do as men to improve the lives of men. A lot of that has to do with dismantling the patriarchy and removing the stigma of toxic masculinity, but some of if is unrelated. MRAs will never, ever, be the group to politically take up that yoke though because they're shitlords who're more interested in sabotaging feminism.
 
I've never broken a condom because it was too small but I know the pains men with a large girth have.

Every condom I've ever bought is so tight that it cuts off circulation at the bottom. It got so bad my wife went on the pill because I simply couldn't last long without the condom pinching me and causing a lack of blood flow. it would look like when you tie a string around your finger and cut off the circulation.

I think the reason I was thinking about it is that focusing more on stuff like this would see an influx of more moderate types into the MRA sphere, which would force the group as a whole to moderate somewhat and lay the groundwork for something like a legitimate, respectable men's movement - one with its own identity, not a mere reapplication of feminist theory and jargon - to rise, someday.

Plus, they're always so focused on their dicks, you'd think they'd wanna focus on something that would protect them from "lying, diseased sluts" or whatever hateful garbage they spew.
