Old wives’ tales state that you can determine a man’s penis size by how big his feet are. Recent research indicates this correlation is little more than legend, but there may be a more indicative correlation: the relationship between your index finger and ring finger.

Research published in the Asian Journal of Andrology found that the shorter a man’s index finger is in relation to his ring finger, the longer a penis tends to be. The reasoning for this is that both penis size and finger size ratios seem to be affected by testosterone exposure in utero.
Of course, the bigger penis size myth is that length directly correlates to sexual performance. In a study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, researchers found that only 30% of women reported penis length having an effect on how often they achieved orgasm. Even then, it wasn’t studied whether this was due directly to penis size, or if it was due to a peripheral cause (for example, men with longer penises felt more confident and thus performed better). The study also failed to account for girth, which may actually be even more important.

I’ve always thought that the length of a blokes nose was a good indication…
I’ll thump him if he calls me big nose again…! 🙂
This is interesting because the same ratio has been linked to risk of prostate cancer.

This sort of correlation is very much like Phrenology.
Rubbish. And size is overrated anyway. I am more concerned with skin quality and performance, so I use a penis health creme every day. The creme I have is loaded with vitamins and nutrients, which keeps things healthy and strong down there. You guys should check ’em out. My sex life has improved dramatically.
