A study of more than 1,000 men in India has revealed that standard condoms are 'too large' for most of Indian men.

Raising concern over the issue, a specialist in reproductive health said that about one in every five times a condom is used in India it either falls off or tears, an extremely high failure rate.

The study conducted by the Indian Council of Medical Research found that more than half of surveyed men had penises at least .94 inches shorter than international condom sizes and for 30 percent, the gap was 1.97 inches.

"We had devised an automated system in which an image of the penis would be taken and the computer would interpret different dimensions," Sujoy Guha, who lead the study, told Times of India.
