What Your Hand Says about Your Penis


What Your Hand Says about Your Penis
 We dare you to not look at your hand after reading this: Guys with shorter index fingers than ring fingers tend to have bigger penises than guys with the opposite digit scenario, finds a brand spanking new study in the Asian Journal of Andrology.

 How did researchers get this information? carefully. While men who came in to a Korean hospital for urological surgical procedure were anesthetized, scientists measured consenting patients penises. (Thanks for coming in for penis surgical procedure! Mind if they measure it while you're knocked out?) Fun fact: Since shorter members stretch over longer ones, the stretched measurement used by the researchers is more telling about the size of an erect penis. Other researchers measured the patients  index and ring fingers.





The connection: The testosterone men get exposed to while they're still fetuses controls both penis & finger length, the researchers describe.

The early testosterone exposure reflected in your fingers (and elsewhere) affects you in lots of other ways, explains Denise Brooks McQuade, a scientist at Skidmore College not affiliated with the study. Guys with shorter index finger than ring fingers known as a low digit ratio tend to have a higher risk of prostate cancer, be better at sports and financial trading, and have higher sperm counts.

We know by now you've one) Looked at your hand and two) Adjusted your hand'S position so that your index finger looks shorter.
