This tweet proving men can never be too big for condoms has gone ridiculously viral

And it’s sparking quite the outrage amongst some people, too.

AN 18 YEAR-OLD US woman tweeted some advice about condoms to her 559 followers on Twitter this week – and it has exploded into quite the debate online.

The woman’s name is Emily and her tweet was sent out on Monday. Her argument was that men can never be too big for condoms – and she provided some obvious photographic proof.

It has since been retweeted over 12,000 times:

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

Her basic point with the images was: condoms are flexible, and there are large sizes out there to fit all men

Since the tweet went so viral, she has had her detractors

@TheRealD_Martin I tried. It didn't. Plus, the point is that condoms stretch and there are always bigger sizes, so there are no excuses.

Some claimed the images meant nothing to the argument

@jacoballen9 K, cool, but when guys are like "I'm too big, let's go without" its bullshit and they can get a bigger size.

She’s been defending her simple point in her replies for the last two days, as the attention only ratchets up

@BjornSay Actually, the point of the joke is that guys need to either get bigger condoms or not have unprotected sex against the girls will.
