A little while ago, the most emailed article on the BBC News website was one about Indian men and condom sizes. In a world obsessed by dimensions, this story was less than flattering to desis. Imported 'regular' sized condoms were too big for the average Indian, said the story.
The comments below that piece were revealing. Many people thought it was a funny story, some thought it exposed yet another deficiency of the subcontinental, and others claimed - as expected - that size was less important than what one did with it. After all, quipped one fellow interviewed in the article, to have the second-largest population in the world meant the men were doing something right.
(Clearly the man confused quantity for quality, but that's an entirely different argument.)
Meanwhile, a recently published book by J. C. Davies (I Got the Fever: Love, What's Race Gotta Do With It?) thumped bruised male egos further into the mud. After bonking men of several 'races', ex-Goldman Sachs employee J. C. Davies decided to write a comparative analysis of their abilities. She claimed that black men like to talk about basketball more than about Al Sharpton; Asian (I presume East Asian) men were materialistic, buying things more for bragging rights than for utility, and rubbish in bed to boot; and Latinos were possessive and obsessed by dancing and music.
Not having read the book, I can't reveal if all Indian men are well-versed in the Kama Sutra, however. Maybe you can find more details at Davies' blog?

Screwing your way into a book deal.
Well, that's certainly original.
She's not as original as all that. Remember Jane Juska?
Before I turn 67 - next March - I'd like to have a lot of sex with a man I like. If you want to talk first, Trollope works for me.
I should have added sarcasm> in there :)
Blogger does not like fake tags.
hey, where screwing and books are concerned, sarcasm eludes me completely, heh.
Desi men would just wait too long to be 'properly introduced' and by then its too late to really prove anything.
Is my humble opinion.
Anonymous of JNC? :-)
And you are F from IISc? ;)
I'm afraid so..
So...
*awkward silence*
Er... pleased to meet you?
*stands on one foot, and then on the other*
Pick from one of the following:
1) Where is your native place?
2) What are your hobbies?
3) Those MCC girls are so cheap no? (What? I couldn't help it!)
Hmm, tough call. Pick one, eh? Ok, I'll go with 1) Timbuktu.
