Swedish men come second only to the French in a study of the state of European members, a new study has shown.

A comparative study of more than ten thousand men in 25 EU countries sees the well-hung Swedes pull up just short of their counterparts in the land of the baguette and the coq gaulois.

Men from the very tip of Italy to the shadow of Nelson's column whipped out their measuring tapes for the benefit of the German-based Institute of Condom Consultancy, an organization that highlights the importance of condom size in the fight against unwanted pregnancies and AIDS.

According to the study, an erect French penis stretches to an average of 15.48 centimetres (6.09 in). The average Swedish member trails the leader by a short head, crossing the finishing line at 15.36 centimetres.

At the other end of the spectrum, men in Greece - the linguistic home of the phallus - get the short end of the stick, measuring in at just 12.18 centimetres.

Cynics might suggest that the study was just a case of Gallic showboating and Greek modesty.

But the head of the Institute of Condom Consultancy, Jan Vinzenz Krause, claimed French letters really were something to write home about.

"We observed during a two month test that men in France use a significantly higher number of large condoms than men in Greece," he said in a statement.

Krause added that it was vital for men to wear condoms that best suited their size requirements.

"It is the same as the fact that we have different sized feet and wear shoes that fit us."

Now I think this belongs in here.

Race and penis size

There are many urban myths purporting correlations between various races and penis size. However, to date, there has been no conclusive evidence that race and penis size are at all correlated. All studies to this effect have been rejected by the scientific community due to inaccuracy, respondent bias, or unverifiable claims.

True enough, but what race were the subjects?

I'm always wary of studies which exclaim, "Brits ten times more...", or "French men more likely to..."

Edit: And was the study you source by the 'Institut fuer Kondom-Beratung', led by Jan Vinzenz Krause?

As other sites state him refusing to comment on the validity of his subjects honesty in evaluating the length of their manhoods.

Your source says their plucky subjects were measured, whilst others say the subjects measured themselves.

No idea, look around And the word you are looking for is jealouse, not wary.

No idea, but do you honestly believe that some Europeans are more honest than others? Well with the French I can understand this perception, but Swedes do not have a reputation of being dishonest, at least not more than any other people.

No you how ever are the one who dismisses it to be the result of a larger amount of Negros than other nations which just seem childish as if you are accusing said nations of cheating. That is how it comes across.

It's childish to wonder about the validity of studies?

I am questioning the statement of the subjects being Swedes, or any member of a European nation, when you and I both know that that accounts for every tom, dick and harry with the ability to be able to walk upright and have opposable thumbs.
I am also questioning the validity of the manner in which the people were measured. Were they measured by an unbiased member of the study group, or were they left to measure and submit their own, etc, etc...?

No you did not, your first response was

There are a lot of black people in Sweden and France.

It was to this my statment was directed.

Now you are free to do the research your self, I am not the author of this research thus it does not fall on my table to provide the scientific backing to either prove or disprove this.

You are of course well aware of this which means the only reason for you too ask that of me is that you wish to disprove this article in a debate where you know you will win, because as I said I am not the author of this research and in no way am capable nor obligated to provide backing for it.

For that you should take contact with the publisher of the article who is responsible for what is published on his website, or the researcher him self.

Never the less. In short. Do your own damn work as I am not obligated to do this for you.

You posted it. You argue in favour for it.

Never the less. In short. Do your own damn work as I am not obligated to do this for you.

Fair enough, but I have already revealed to you one discrepancy in the study, and showed the studies director going on record as not very willing to substantiate his claims, so it really is up to you to back up your postings.

Everybody else does.

And stop getting so aggressive. If Swedes are lying about the size of their manhood, they wouldn't be the first, and I hazard a guess that they wouldn't be the last.
