Are you obsessed with the length of your penis? Well, one study just released their findings that showed hands may say more about the connection between the length of an index finger and the length of a penis.
According to a South Korean study published in the Asian Journal of Andrology, the shorter index (second) finger than ring (fourth) finger you have, the longer stretched penile length you have. The author, Tae Beom Kim of the urology department of Gachon University Gil Hospital in Incheon, South Korea, based his finding from earlier studies showing strong evidence that prenatal testosterone may determine finger development as well as penile length.
The study actually involved 144 men suffering from urological problems that did not affect the length of their penis, which was measured under anaesthesia. The measurements were later compared to the difference in length between their second and fourth fingers on the right hand. Previous studies have shown that the right hand may be more sensitive to the influence of testosterone.
The so-called "digit ratio" in this study refers to the length of the index finger divided by the length of the ring finger. The lower the ratio, the study suggests, the longer the penis may be.
The findings offered "circumstantial evidence that prenatal testosterone is responsible for both traits (penile length and digit formation)" said Denise McQuade at Skidmore College in New York, who was not really involved in the study but was interested about the relationship. Her reason for this is not really clear though.
In an interview with Reuters, McQuade said that, "Digit ratio is non-invasive and easy to measure, yet may provide clues about an individual's prenatal history. Thus, combined with other information, digit ratio offers the potential for clinical usefulness."
She also added that female index and ring fingers tend to be about the same length.
A study last year said that men with long index fingers have a lower risk of prostate cancer.
Researchers at Britain's Warwick University and the Institute of Cancer Researcher found that men whose index finger is longer than their ring finger were one-third less likely to develop the disease than men with the opposite pattern of finger length

The study on penile length based on fingers and other bodily symptoms is always a point of interest. But one thing is not clear here, what does a longer penis mean, is there any magic number according to Tae Beom Kim that gives penile length a longer distinction one? But it's nice feeling to notice that "digit ratio" is on my side as my ring finger length is more than index finger which makes the ratio a less number. Anyways thanks for sharing this. It'll be tad better if you can install some social media buttons here to share interesting posts like this with my friends and followers. Hope you consider adding.
