So size does count then. Fact. The ratio of length of men's finger to finger appears to be linked to the size of the penis: lower the ratio, the longer the penis.
Unusual post this, but the Asian Journal of Andrology clearly has some interesting studies, with this piece on the relationship of the a man's genitalia length when flaccid & stretched to the length of his index finger (termed 2D in the study) to the ring finger (termed 4D).
This Korean Study (Asian J Androl. 2011 Sep;13(5):710-4. doi: 10.1038/aja.2011.75. Epub 2011 Jul 4) by Choi et al indicates that measurements taken on 144 local men attending hospital for urological surgery showed that those with a 2D measurement shorter than 4D demonstrated longer stretched penis length which is well correlated with erect size too.
One of the researchers, Dr Tae Beom Kim of Gachon University has claimed that 'Based on this evidence, we suggest that digit ratio can predict adult penile size'. They intimate that there may be a link to the exposure of estrogen & testosterone in the womb as elevated levels of testosterone during foetal development can be associated with a lower 2D:4D ratio.
In both males & females, lower 2D:4D ratios are also associated with better athletic performance, and individual studies have also linked lower ratios to success in high frequency financial trading success, and even medical school exam performance. On the downside, there appears to be a link to autism and elevated cases of alcoholism in this population.
There requires to be more of a body of work in this area on other ethnic populations as one of the confounding factors would be the essentially purity of the population sample, and whether or not there is any link to the need for urological surgical interventions too.
SO prenatal exposure may cause it, and the authors conclude that the ratio of digit to digit could give an indication of this exposure as well as the predicted length of an individual. Not bad for a swift and non-invasive method of sizing. And it seems to matter, as men have been saying for years.
