Penis Survey-Size Really Does Matter in Thailand


Something for the Weekend?
How do you measure up? Well if you live in certain areas of Thailand you are about to be given the opportunity to take part in a penis size survey run by Department of Disease Control(anti-AIDS division). So perhaps despite rumours to the contrary, size really does matter or as the Nation puts it, size does count.

Just in case you think I am having a joke I can assure you that disposable penis measuring devices are being distributed by the Thai Ministry of Health under a campaign, "Condoms for all," which hopes to raise HIV awareness and the need to practice safe sex using well fitting condoms.

The measuring tape records widths(I assume they mean circumference or could it be diameter) of between 49 and 56mm (no mention of length) which is apparently the "Thai penis size standard." Personally I like to work in inches so lets see..... I reckon that would be somewhere between 2-2.25."

Now I had heard it said that foreigners have bigger members than Thais which of course begs the question will the measuring device be any use to foreigners seeking protection? Equally I would love to know the parameters of a similar device suitable for Westerner's if the said rumour is true.

Talking about rumours, apparently there is one circulating in Pattaya to the effect that bar-girls are considering determining whether the client wants short time or long time by using the free devices and charging accordingly.

OK I made that bit up but remember this is Thailand!

Have a good weekend!

Mike, you might not be far off about the bar girls in Pattaya...I'm betting the measuring devices will be floating around town and some foreigners might get embarrassed.

I saw this story while I was finishing up my post on the Pattaya market and wrote a post about it as well but scheduled it for later. I bet this is one story most of the bloggers will hit on this week and probably one adsense will be slapping charity ads on once the crawlers see the word penis.

Talen it was just too good to miss! BTW do you understand "something for the weekend" I fancy its a Brit saying?

As for AdSense you are probably right but seeing as all my posts now go in the Google bin I won't loose too much sleep.

I look forward to reading your take on this as well as the other blogs when they pick up the story.

Will it make the news!!!!!!!

Mike, Yeah ...I have quite a few British friends who have schooled me to all the the great slang and sayings.

Google won't bin everything just the ones with naughty words...you would think we were showing hard core porn by their standards sometimes.

Mike a cracking read unless of course you are blessed with the equipment of a hamster and whose friends refer to you as Tiny spoken behind sniggering hands.

I must warn you that any keyword searches on Thai blog, dick, pr*ck, pen*s and c*ck will probably direct people to my Blogger home page. Best of luck with this one and its given me a post idea.

Hi Mike,

LOL-:)
EU measures the size of apples, tomatoes and cucumbers, so why not measure the penis size. ....

Best regards
Asta

I'm surprised, Mike! Maybe it's my bashfulness, but pushing that aside, I wouldn't mind getting a few of those measuring devices to embarrass people here in the US!

The TEFL Don said...

Asta, it was quite funny finding out about this, although in all fairness it is part of a health promotion by the Thais.

Theresa, hi, I fancy the measuring devices will be circulating amongst some members of the expat community.

Dang, this could be the first time a guy ever tries to bargain his date UP.

"Sir, that will be $10".

"No, it should be $20."

"No sir, $10."

"I think you measured wrong. I know I should pay at LEAST $20."

"No, you measured to here. $20 is for men who measure to here."

"TAKE THE $(%*$(# TWENTY DOLLARS!"

The TEFL Don said...

Tony love it thank you!
