The study also found that while larger-sized condoms are available in stores, the one-size-fits-all variety is more readily available -- and often free from health clinics in New York City.
The findings are in line with a 2009 Indiana University study indicating that men were more likely to have "negative attitudes" about condom use if they had penises that were bigger or smaller than average.
“This type of public health research is very important, no matter how politically volatile," Huffingtonpost quoted Dr. Jeffrey Parsons, CHEST’s director, as writing on the organization’s blog.
He added that the findings would enable researchers to better meet the health needs of gay and bisexual men.
The study will be published in the February 2013 issue of Archives of Sexual Behavior.u00a0
