The film doesn’t feature nudity and sex, although the men do obliquely talk about sex. These women os Asian descent are not part of the narrative. They are not important to the story. They don’t have names. They are part of the benefits of living rich.

Review: Sex at Dawn

From Ryan, C., and C. Jetha. 2011. Sex at Dawn: How we Mate, Why we Stray, and What it Means for Modern Relationships. New York, USA: Harper Perennial.

Because fit is so important in the effectiveness of condoms, World Health Organization guidelines specify different sizes for various parts of the world: a 49-millimeter-width condom for Asia, a 52-millimeter width for North America and Europe, and a 53-millimeter width for Africa (all condoms are longer than most men will ever need).

This is incorrect. The WHO (1998) report stated that … “Based on studies in Australia, Thailand and the USA,and the experience of major agencies, the wider condoms (flat width 52-55 mm) will be preferred in Australia, Africa, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and North America, and the narrower condoms (47-51 mm) will be preferred in several Asian countries …” Why not mention Australia, Latin America and the Middle East? Did the authors actually read the document?

The condoms manufactured in China for their domestic market are 49 millimeters wide.

Where is this information from? Chi (2011) states that 52mm is the standard Chinese size.

According to a study conducted by the Indian Council of Medical Research, high levels of slippage and failure are due to a bad fit between many Indian men and the international standards used in condom manufacture.

This study of 1400 males cannot be extrapolated to all of India. The report is not publicly available so it is hard to say what exactly is the issue but it seems to be that some 30% of respondents had thinner penises than would fit a standard condom. The dataset is biased as they used family planning clinics rather than a sampling of the sexually active population and only some 3% of Indian men regularly use condoms but the story does make for ‘newsworthy’ global headlines.

According to an article published in Nature, Japanese and Chinese men’s testicles tend to be smaller than those of Caucasian men, on average. The authors of the study concluded that “differences in body size make only a slight contribution to these values.”

Incorrect again. Diamond (1986) states: “Although measurements of testis size by orchidometry in living subjects are difficult to standardize, they suggest smaller testes in Japanese and Korean men than in Caucasians. Weighing at autopsy is more accurate and showed that the size was two-fold lower in two Chinese samples compared with a Danish sample.” The Chinese samples was 209 and the Danish, 140. Where Diamond gets any data about Koreans and Japanese is not stated.

Other researchers have confirmed these general trends, finding average combined testes weights of 24 grams for Asians, 29 to 33 grams for Caucasians, and 50 grams for Africans.

Your source for this claim makes no such statement. Rather Short (1979) states:

Schonfeld (1943) has presented a comprehensive review of human testicular growth and development, showing that the average weight of one testis in Caucasians after the age of 18 is 14.5-16.5 g, whereas in Orientals it appears to be only 12 g… Schultz (1938a) found that the average weight of one testis in three Negroes aged 31-41 years was 25.1 g…

If we read Scholfeld (1942), the “Oriental” sample was solely Japanese and based on two studies, Morioka (1936) and Endo (1938), a study of children. Thus, only one study is referenced for the 12g adult sizing.

However Morioka (1936) only has a sample size of 33 for ages 16-44 and some of this 33 may have been cadavers (Can a German speaker please confirm?). Additionally, Schonfeld’s graphs only go to age 24 while the Japanese were found to peak in testicular weight into their 40s (Mori et al. 2002, see 1930s line in first picture). Additionally, Mori et al. (2002) found an average of 17g in their large sample (N~25,000) study (second picture). Why was this study not referenced as it was 9 years before the book’s publication?

Researchers found “marked differences in testis size among human races. Even controlling for age differences among samples, adult male Danes have testes that are more than twice the size of their Chinese equivalents, for example.” This range is far beyond what average racial differences in body size would predict. Various estimates conclude that Caucasians produce about twice the number of spermatozoa per day than do Chinese (185-235 × 106 compared with 84 × 106). These are dangerous waters we’re swimming in, dear reader, suggesting that culture, environment, and behavior can be reflected in anatomy—genital anatomy, at that. But any serious biologist or physician knows there are anatomical differences expressed racially. Despite the hair-trigger sensitivity of these issues, not to consider racial background in the diagnosis and treatment of disease would be unethical.

Danes and Chinese are not races, they are ethnic groups from which you should very carefully extrapolate. Harvey & May (1989) should know better and so should Nature journal. Their sources are Short (1984) and Diamond (1986) which references the same Short (1984) article so that there is only one reference. Short’s Chinese data is from Chang et al. (1960). The only thing we know about the subjects is that they were 100 cadavers. How long they were kept before dissection and if they were diseased is not stated. It is also highly ridiculous for Short to compare such sparse data and speak about “enormous racial difference” then have Chinese extrapolated to “Orientals” and Danes to “Caucasian” by Ryan and Jetha. Harvey & May (1989) is also incorrect in using Short (1984) as their source for sperm production. Rather Short (1984) gave the 84 × 106 figure as an estimate if sperm production was positively correlated with testes size. Short states:

If, as seems likely, these Chinese men had small testes, one might have expected to find this reflected in their sperm counts, but it was not the case.

In other words, both Harvey and May who have PhDs and academic appointments fail at basic reading comprehension. Ryan and Jetha instead of using measurements, use estimates based on assumed testicular weight and sperm production rates. They also refuse to consult updated and more comprehensive data such as Mori et al. (2002)

For example, many Asian diets include large quantities of soy products, while many Western people consume large quantities of beef, both having been shown to cause rapid generational reduction in testicular volume and spermatogenesis.

Ah yes, the usual plant vs. animal schtick, East is feminine, West is masculine. Dangerous waters? Nope, the usual regurgitation of rigorous ‘European race science’.

All This and Rabbit Stew (1941): Produced by Leon Schlesinger, voiced by Mel Blanc. Stereotypical dim-witted African male outsmarted by a rabbit, Strausbaugh (2006, 241) describes him as a “… shufflin’, big-lipped, sleepy-eyed country coon (voiced by Mel Blanc), whom Bugs ultimately outwits by luring him into a game of craps, which the Black character cannot resist.” Lindvall & Fraser (1998, 128) characterizes the hunter as “a Stepin Fetchit character drawn with a large balding head, wearing a straw hat and dragging his gun.”
