No Wonder Thai Girls...

Couldn't pass up commenting on this:

Thailand is helping Thai men purchase condoms that fit by giving out free "penis measuring devices" (it's basically a little tape measure) that covers the "standard Thai circumference of 49 to 56 millimeters."

For those of you not willing to do the calculations, those circumferences lead to the conclusion that the standard penis diameter of Thai men is 15.6 mm to 17.8 mm, or 6/10ths of an inch to 7/10ths of an inch. Yes... you can hold your fingers apart to do a little measuring (pun intended); don't be embarrassed.

It's a bit amazing how PR campaigns can sometimes backfire in the most unexpected ways. I doubt anybody is focusing on the "Wow! Good idea to encourage more effective condom use in Thailand." Instead, we've got everybody around the world holding their fingers 6/10ths of an inch apart, and laughing at Thai erections.

(p.s. Note that the original article says that the 49-56 mm is a measurement of "width", which would make the average Thai thickness well over 2 inches... which would place the entire country in porn star range. As someone who has been to Pattaya's gay bars and seen the boys dancing: It's circumference... trust me.)

However, my Thai women friends tell me that the Thai boys never lack for "power!"
