Ponder Penis Size Linked to Finger Length

The longer a man's ring finger when compared with his index finger, the longer the length of his penis, according to Korean researchers.

So if my ring finger is shorter than my index finger than I, um, er, don't have one?

So how does one accurately stretch a penis to determine it length when erect? I would think temperature would have some effect as well as how grab it and how much force you use.

Not if he palms the ball because of his long index finger.

This has also been said to indicate if you are male or female, so apparently I'm either a hermaphrodite or my right penis is longer than my left one.

I also have big feet.

How long before we see ring finger lengthening surgeries sprouting up?

According to the Surgeon General, your adjusted penis size is length times girth over angle of the shaft divided by mass over width.

Just tilt your hand (towards the pinkie) until the ring finger appears longer.

Hmmm. It makes you wonder why they never talk about penile density or dielectric coefficient.

ETA: Noticed the statistic was all on men anesthetized for surgery. So the result may be valid for men likely in need of urinary surgery.

I'd wager a bet that it really lies in proportion overall. Big hands, big feet, big person, big.. ya know.

Of course I'm sure that's on average, and there will always be exceptions.
