London, Nov 30 When it comes to sexual prowess, French men have been touted as the uncrowned leaders in the whole world - and now a survey has revealed that the same goes for their condom size.

The eight-month survey, conducted by the Institute of Condom Consultancy, based in Singen, southern Germany, asked over 10,500 men across 25 European countries to measure their penis. And the French came out on top with a claimed average length of 6.09 in (15.48 cm), reports The Telegraph. They scored 1.2 in (3 cm) more than the Greeks, who had the shortest average measurement in Europe.

However, Jan Vinzenz Krause, the institute's director, did not comment on how honest he thought the Frenchmen had been in reporting the data.

The survey was aimed at educating teenagers about the importance of effective contraception.

The institute also offers online advice about condom size and hosts "Pimp Your Condom" - an annual fair organised in cooperation with the national Aids Trust - with the aim of informing teens about sexually transmitted diseases. (ANI)
