Trojan magnum condoms, large size condoms: Does your Penis measure up:

Luckily in the modern world many of the common experiences that accompany adolescent awakening are openly taught in school, are no longer taboo in everyday conversation and are frequently jested about in sitcoms and cartoons.

New budding breasts, the first period, voice changes, hair that used to not be there and acne are rather common topics.

But one topic still hides in the shadows, its taboo so great that many takes years to discover that they are suffering under its mighty weight.

Every male jokes about it, makes comments about their mighty member in relation to everybody elses. But the average heterosexual male doesnt have a standard to measure against. Look closely at any health book in school, anatomy, science...average penis size is not stated, perhaps in gracious protection for the less than well endowed? This comes at a great burden for those who are forced to unknowingly carry the extra penis size.

A rather common sexual awakening would involve teens experimenting in high school, perhaps earlier. Most males are happy to use the free condoms they can get from nurses offices and health centers to avoid what they perceive as the embarrassment of buying condoms at a pharmacy or gas station. Most Girls will not have much to compare to and will most likely kindly say that "thats the biggest one Ive ever seen" regardless of the truth. Some may choose to ride the town bike and may be able to get a more informed opinion, but who trusts the town bike anyway?

Years of sexual relations, the golden years, the prime according to science blighted by ill fitting condoms. You see sometimes its not just a pride thing, sometimes a male is a little or lot larger, using a regular condom results in severe loss of sensation, possible abrasions and or chafing from the band of the condom on the thickest part of ones member. In today's STD fearing world can you imagine the fear one would experience when after a particular exciting night one finds a blister...later the culprit is learned to be the ill fitting dreadnought...the horror is unexplainable!

Luckily for this author, Maxim magazine ran a small article outlining when a magnum size or large size condom is necessary. To paraphrase, it was explained that if the male can not insert his erect member through a standard toilet paper tube then he may be a candidate for a large size condom. I was one happy college freshman!

The truth of the matter is the larger size condoms like Trojan Magnums  are best suited for those with increased girth, length is not as much as a concern for proper prophylactic fitting.

The difference is amazing and I look back in anger at those wasted years of strangled sex. Hopefully this article will fall into the hands of those who need it and are freed from the tyranny of the little latex. I fear that many may be forced to disregard safe sex practices as a result of the discomfort caused by improperly fitting safety devices.

One of the obstacles of trying a magnum or Large size condom for the first time, is the the belief that this is "wishful thinking", buying a Magnum is seen as a gimmick, like a sports car or a flashy watch. In the course of research for this article, I even saw statements that if was merely a marketing ploy (which would make sense! especially considering the increased cost of the large size condom!)

Many point out that condoms can stretch to cover an entire arm without breaking, although this may be true, the arms level of sensitivy in no way compares to that of the penis. It is not a marketing ploy!

I'm sure many make the mistake of attempting to use a larger size condom just for the effect of flashing that shiny gold wrapper, this is of course dangerous as it is very likely to slip off during intercourse. So Guys dont do it, and ladies dont fall for it. Take the time to check that he is in fact a magnum man.

The Science of Penis Size according to Kinsey.

The founding of the field of sexology is usually attributed to Alfred Kinsey, The Kinsey report is published yearly and contains accurate and scientifically gathered data regarding all things sexual.

According to the report on Penis size the median size is 6 inches in length and 5 inches in girth. Only 5% of the surveyed males fell into the category of "magnum sized"

But Guys keep in mind, most women who were surveyed do not claim taht size matters to them and actually state that more can be to much! Statistically, your lady probably as never encountered that 5% that falls into the larger range. One writer here on Hubpages addressed this very issue from a womens perspective in her article " Women are not obsessed with Penis Size"

Also according to Kinsey, most guys think they are undersized, this makes sense because most heterosexual males go out of their way to never see another males equipment, particularly when erect, when such a terrible thing should occur, its most likely a side effect of adult films which tends to feature the larger male, Women may assume that locker rooms would inadvertently assuage this mystery, but once again...even if males were as open in the locker room as TV shows and movies seem to suggest (or is that just prison movies?) walking around at attention would most likely be frowned upon!

Since the majority of males have the secret belief that they are undersized, male enhancement products are in high demand

Dont believe the Hype! There is no safe and permanent way to increase penis size!

Surgery involves injecting fat, Yuck! Pumps only create short term appearance change and may result in long term damage! Herbs, Pills, complete lies!

Can you believe that the Topamina of Brazil used snake bites to induce swelling, ouch!

Some safe suggestions:

Lose weight - low hanging bellies create the illusion of smaller size

Dont smoke, eat a low fat diet, exercise - size is relative to blood flow, smoking is bad for circulation as is cholesterol and inactivity.

Trim the eagle

As you may know all brands are not built the same.

The traditional Trojan Magnum feels rather thick, the THIN variety when properly size is suggested for proper heat transference.

The Trojan TWISTER has excess material on the head and raised lines along the length, personally think its kind of gimmicky and have not noticed any increased pleasure as a result of its use. Online reviews tend to complain about the baggy head as being more nuisance then benefit.

The Trojan Magnum Warm Sensations is a nice novelty - heat activated by natural body moisture

The new Trojan Magnum Ectasy is highly recommended, lubricated inside and out and has a more intelligently designed texture addition

You can actually get a free sample of the new Ectasy (Magnum or Standard) from the Trojan site

Many people have latex allergies, polyurethane or lambskin are the traditional alternatives.

Unfortunately, Polyurethane does not stretch and most major brands dont bother to make a model for the smaller market of the large size man and many males report sizing issues regardless of size. Female condoms may be a good alternative for this option.

Many Asian manafacturers make Polyurethane condoms in a variety of sizes, they can be found here.

Lambskin - is reportedly the most "natural" feeling, but lamb intestine isnt my idea of a good time (esp as a Vegetarian)..but regardless of my personal beliefs, lambskin is equally as effective for pregnancy prevention but is not considered effective for prevention of STD's. I have never found a large size lambskin condom, perhaps somebody can suggest a brand?
