Ha OK but I only have a microwave so you better like your sammiches cold (all my food is delivered to me)



GoddessManko -> RE: Why are prophylactics almost always not sized correctly? (3/6/2015 10:46:10 PM)

Deal! I'll take a sammich over a microwaveable. I'm getting someone a cookbook for their birthday, hehe. It's so much cheaper than ordering out.



DerangedUnit -> RE: Why are prophylactics almost always not sized correctly? (3/6/2015 10:50:41 PM)

I know how, I just live in a hotel... and he wants to feed me so he can handle the sammiches fetching, the maid does the cleaning.... life is good



GoddessManko -> RE: Why are prophylactics almost always not sized correctly? (3/6/2015 10:55:30 PM)

Nice! Don't have to cook or clean. I just hope this weather lets up so I can go riding to the gym tomorrow and I can say the same. It was cold and wet today, not a good combo.

It's been in the 70's lately and actually nice here, I'm trying to convince him California sucks before summer but but I doubt that will happen, I am am not built for heat... the gym here has a pool though so that makes it easier.

That's not how ego works. AND it's not how branding works. A 34 in one pair of jeans may not fit you the way a 34 in another pair will.

I'm not sure what ego has to do with it.
When the MD measures my temperature, and she's expecting 98.6, and I measure at 94, is my ego even involved?


Two different sentences.

If a pair that fit exactly right (for example) was a size 50, would you even think to try it?

Six inches is six inches. Period.
It always was. And always will be.
Where is the ambiguity?


Types of rubber and material. The amount of stretch. The shape of the condom itself. The "ease" that is put into account for stretch.

Seems pretty simple for me to understand.

quote:

If a condom said it was six inches long, then it is six inches long (government agencies could keep 'em honest).
If that same condom said it was 3 inches in girth, then it is three inches in girth.
Where's the ambiguity?


The material. The shape along the shaft. The size of the "head area" and so on.

Have you just never used a condom, to know that they are also often shaped differently and made of different materials?

Different cuts in the same brand will fit two sizes differently.

You're trying to compare clothing, especially women's clothing, to something that is a simple geometric cylinder.
For a cylinder, the only thing that matters, with respect to sizing, is the length and width.
I guess we could get into the durometer values for buna rubber versus viton, but, I'm not going there.


Well, I'm not sure why you would pay any attention to durometer values, but really, thinking they are all cylinders? LOL! You are naive, eh?

There are at least four different condom shapes, beyond the novelty: straight, flare, large headroom, and tapered.

You DO know dicks are shaped differently too, right?

And men will generally never buy a product that proclaims them to have a tiny cock.

The size doesn't have to be printed on a big label hanging around his balls.
It's just on the original package.


Yes. On the package. Where the clerk checking them out at the store will see it.

The same reason many men hate buying their lady's flow products.

quote:

And, I don't think men are that shallow that they'll get the wrong size, just for their ego, especially when, in the case of using a condom, the size is readily apparent by the time the condom goes on.


Awww. Aren't you cute for saying so!

Well, since you have obviously done such extensive research into condoms, including the materials they are made of, their stretch factor, and the many shapes they come in, I'll just assume you've been as conscientious in your rigorous psychological study of a variety of men and how they view their tools.

I obviously stand corrected.

Why doesn't anyone tell their kids this stuff?
Do you tell your boys this information?


Ohhhhh. Why don't you ask your parents why they didn't teach you? How would we know what they were thinking?



tiggerspoohbear -> RE: Why are prophylactics almost always not sized correctly? (3/7/2015 2:33:00 AM)

Nookie,
he did say his parents were strict Catholic. There was no talking to them.
Having been raised by a hard core Catholic mom, I quickly learned sex was a "dirty thing". I was mad as all Hell when I found out, all on my own, that sex was FUN. I was still young, old compared to today's teens, but boy was I pissed. I had a lot of making up to do, pun unintended.

My sister taught my niece age appropriate lessons and at the tender age of 3 she figured out how to embarrass her grandma. Ask her about sex things then get the "go talk to your mother", my niece would run off giggling. I'd have to leave the room to avoid bursting out loud in laughter. My mom was red faced and all flustered.

we will need test subjects, blindfolds, and condom donations


There's a LiPS event on St. Patty's Day here in the Silicon Valley, and another CFNM event on April 17th, both of which a Domme here kindly pointed me to in my CS mail, where that might possibly be discussed, in the flesh, to see if/whether the Ladies would want to schedule such an event.

My love of the scientific method is always getting me into trouble


I'm a scientist by training, and a geek to the core, so, I know what you mean there.

Given that cocks vary in length by 4X and in girth by 2.5X (based on the data listed in the OP), there's a chance that a large number of the reputed condom failures are merely due to incorrectly sized condoms.

Since a condom is clearly a medical device, and, since there is the potential for incorrect sizing, I don't see why they don't put the actual measurements on the package (just like in the GotSteel chart). I don't see where a male ego is involved, especially as a woman is gonna know his cock size by the time he puts the thing on, and, I don't know of any woman in my life who has asked me, before hand, what size condoms I use, and, they don't have to print the size in big bold letters on the package.

What man is so shallow that he'll get the wrong size anyway, (just so that the package would look good?)?
Makes no logical sense whatsoever.

EDIT: Corrected a math error.



GoddessManko -> RE: Why are prophylactics almost always not sized correctly? (3/7/2015 6:49:02 AM)

OK, ew @ those and some guys actually have really crooked cocks, especially when they're huge. I think that was her point. Guys are really shaped differently cock wise, this is true.



GoddessManko -> RE: Why are prophylactics almost always not sized correctly? (3/7/2015 7:00:48 AM)

Also they are not all made from rubber as some people are allergic. You seem to have nothing but latex which are the cheapest but likely your problem.

GoddessManko -> RE: Why are prophylactics almost always not sized correctly? (3/7/2015 7:03:13 AM)

Moral of the story, stop buying cheap brands, some women are allergic anyway.



shiftyw -> RE: Why are prophylactics almost always not sized correctly? (3/7/2015 7:12:28 AM)

Crumpets- how many dicks have you put condoms on? seen condoms on? Experienced inside you?

Manko- same questions.

Just saying...

LOL you're kidding right? The answer might freak you out. I have seen thousands of cocks or more. Whether in reality, porn or internet.
Also just because I don't fuck different cocks doesn't mean I'm a virgin. Whether giving or receiving. As a heads up I have also attended a couple of orgies though I didn't participate. That's where I saw a line of women who had never squirted and were skeptical made to squirt. LOL, happy? Am I cool enough to comment on cocks now?
If that's not enough, I sold hundreds of thousands of a variety of sex toys. Though those technically aren't cocks. Still.
I also lived on a nudist resort, lmao. OK then.



shiftyw -> RE: Why are prophylactics almost always not sized correctly? (3/7/2015 7:31:36 AM)

That's sorta my point. I've been with easily 20 guys (a slut doesn't keep count...)

I'm wondering if crumpets can say the same or if he is basing this off his own dick or if he has experience with this happening otherwise



GoddessManko -> RE: Why are prophylactics almost always not sized correctly? (3/7/2015 7:45:35 AM)

That's cool. It got a little too "in depth" for me but I get what you're driving at. I think his issue might be brands and material. I have yet to feel inclined to fuck my submissives in a vanilla sense and I think the expectation is entirely bizarre, some ProDommes might agree and probably all FinDommes. I still see it as "topping". But I think labels are based on how one views oneself rather than one's dynamic. I also won't give a sub a blowjob, that in my mind is fucking weird but for some people it's "natural". I have experienced sex in alternative ways however. I have been in the same room with dozens of people fucking around me and it was nice and entertaining. I also once gave this boy a birthday present, my first rope experience. I hogtied him, put 2 dozen clothespins on his balls and fucked him with a carrot (I don't recommend using a carrot), LOL. It was 3 am and we were just using what we could find post celebrations.



dreamlady -> RE: Why are prophylactics almost always not sized correctly? (3/7/2015 11:27:33 AM)

GoddessManko, I hope the men in your nudist resort aren't walking around with hard-ons. Some people, both men and women alike, should keep their clothes on and not be strutting their stuff in public. (I'm thinking of not being able to unsee the seen.[:o])

As for a spare carrot lying around, I would have raided the fridge for a cucumber, or even a big kosher dill. . .but I guess you have to work with whatever's handy. [;)]

Edit - crumpets, this is getting to be an obsessive pursuit of yours, both with condoms and with cocks. The individual condom packaging itself is labeled for size and brand, isn't it? How many men pick up after themselves? Plenty of women have their own supply on hand just in case, in various sizes to pick from, and will need to determine either on her own or by inquiring of her partner which size would be the best fit. Btw, you don't want to hear how shallow, vain and insecure men can be; that's a whole topic of its own.

+Edit - ExiledTyrant, your IRS memo is just too funny for words. [:D]



RockaRolla -> RE: Why are prophylactics almost always not sized correctly? (3/7/2015 2:02:51 PM)

Crumpets, there's a reason clothes are cut to different styles and shapes. Not everything will fit every body the same way, even though we're all human-shaped.

The same goes with dicks. Some condoms, even though they're all cylindrical, won't fit every dick the same way.

If you're a straight guy who has no interest in looking at other guys' dicks you can be forgiven for assuming length and maybe girth is the only way dicks differ, but when multiple posters tell you multiple times this isn't the case AND you post pictures of dicks of different shapes? Come on, man.



Moderator3 -> RE: Why are prophylactics almost always not sized correctly? (3/7/2015 2:20:50 PM)

There is absolutely no cause to show the penises of an animal in relation to the cocks of men. Everyone please hold off on posting so I can clean this mess up.

Additionally: I am not removing posts that responded to the one I had to remove. Once I was into the post I couldn't tell which picture was the one I needed to remove and decided after trying to figure it out, that I wasn't going to go through the hassle it was becoming and removed the whole post. To do that could have meant a mistake would be likely and would have required a lot of actions to assure it came out right. Not on my schedule today as it is too tight.



SeekingTrinity -> RE: Why are prophylactics almost always not sized correctly? (3/7/2015 3:26:49 PM)

~FRing it~

Shouldn't this cock-to-condom obsession really be directed towards the folks who actually manufacture condoms, OP? Seeing as how they, not any of us, has ANY say whatsoever in how the damned things are made.

Geeze, OP...you are like a dog with a bone on this. Pun intended
