Penis Size Study: Finger Length Ratio Indicator Of Penis Size

Researchers in South Korea think they've finally been able to crack the code that indicates the size of a man's penis, and it comes down to a ratio of finger length on the right hand.

A new study published in the Asian Journal of Andrology says that the lower the ratio between the length of a man's index finger and the length of his ring finger, the longer his penis.

From Reuters:

"According to our data ... the shorter index (second) finger than ring (fourth) finger you have, the longer stretched penile length you have," wrote Tae Beom Kim at the urology department of Gachon University Gil Hospital in Incheon, South Korea, in reply to questions from Reuters.

Previous studies have shown strong evidence that prenatal testosterone may determine finger development as well as penile length, a relationship that Kim and his colleagues launched a study to focus on.

Researchers at Cachon University in Incheon, Korea studied 144 men over the age of 20 who were getting urological surgery. One researcher measured the index and ring fingers on each patient's right hand. Another researcher then measured the "stretched" and flaccid lengths of the patients' penises after anesthesia.

The researchers "suggest that the digit ratio can predict adult penile size and that the effects of prenatal testosterone may in part explain the differences in adult penile length," according to the abstract of the study.

News of this study will most likely have men all over examining their right hands all day today.

So if a man has a long ring finger he has a big penis....Interesting I will start keeping tabs

This does'nt explain the finger to penis equation ratio properly. How am I supposed to check for accuracy? Whatever, I suspect some of us got short changed in prenatal gestation, both intellectually and in terms of manhood.

So if I cut off my index to spite my nose, my penis grows? Or my nose grows? Now I'm confused.

Google search for the webcomic XKCD for my answer on this subject.

Comic number 194 entitled: Penises

And in response to what it entails, can we seriously focus research on something else... you know... something important...

Best comic strip ever on this topic

And in response to my posting of XKCD's comic, can we seriously put our scientific focus on something else... you know... something important...

Hahaha! This reminds me of the episode of South Park where they come up with an equation to describe the length and girth of the Penis. Sorry, it's just hilarious.

Drats, if this news gets out, I'll have to wear a glove on my right hand, and then have to constantly affirm that, "No, I'm not emulating Michael Jackson."

Yeah, but if you wear a glove, it's not as pleasurable.

And how about if for some reason during pregnancy, the baby boy doesn't develop index fingers? Meaning that he has only four finger on each hand. According to the findings in this study, is it possible that this baby develop into a tripedal adult?

Possible consequences: Insomnia from painful weights hanging from ring fingers at night...surgery to shorten index fingers...
