You may have heard many myths about penis size. Some say the length of a man's penis can be seen from the size of his shoes. You may also have heard that people who are tall have a fairly large penis. However, there is no valid scientific evidence to prove these myths. Meanwhile, according to a number of recent studies, it turns out that penis size can be guessed from the length of a person's finger. Is that right? Read the full explanation below.
How can penis size be guessed by finger?
For a long time, researchers have studied the relationship between penis size and a person's finger length. However, recently there was a study whose results were very convincing. In the research published in the Asian Journal of Andrology, it was found that there is indeed a relationship between the length of a person's finger and the length of his penis.
However, in contrast to most people's assumptions, it is not the length of the finger that should be measured, but the difference between the length of the index finger and the length of the ring finger. According to this study, the greater the difference between the length of your index and ring finger on your right hand, the longer your penis size will be.
The research by experts in South Korea involved 144 participants. Of the 144 people, the researchers measured the average penis length, which is 7.7 centimeters. Meanwhile, the average difference in the length of the participants' index and ring fingers was between 3-12 millimeters. It is difficult to determine how much difference a person's index and ring finger lengths are in the blink of an eye. However, if you find that your index finger is shorter than your ring finger, or vice versa, the longer the difference, the more likely it is that your penis will be quite long.
What does penis size have to do with a person's finger?
Until now, researchers are still investigating how penis length is related to the difference in the length of a person's fingers. The strongest guess that experts believe is how much exposure to the hormone testosterone the fetus gets in the womb. Apart from determining the size of the penis while you are still in the womb, the hormone testosterone is also known to affect the shape of the male body, from the face to the hands.
People who have high testosterone levels tend to have masculine facial features such as a square jaw shape. From there the experts concluded that the hormone testosterone also affects the length of a person's fingers since in the womb. However, further research is needed to see a direct relationship between penis size and a person's finger length difference.
Finger length is also associated with disease risk
For those of you whose index and ring finger lengths are the same or only slightly different, don't be discouraged just yet. In addition to looking at the relationship between penis size and the difference in fingers, the study also studied the risk of disease that a person may experience.
If your index and ring fingers are even or nearly flat, your body will respond better to anti-tumor medications. This is certainly useful for people who are at risk or already have prostate cancer. This is because testosterone levels in people whose fingers are almost the same length are quite low. Meanwhile, testosterone levels that are too high can trigger the development of prostate cancer.
