South Korean scientists from the University of Kutchon have established a connection between the size of the penis and the difference in the length of the index and ring fingers, according to LiveScience.
As the edition marks, in research 144 men more senior than 20 years have taken part, all of them have acted in university on urological operations. All volunteers during the intervention measured the length of the penis in a relaxed and erect condition, MedNews
Scientists found that the length of the relaxed penis was 4 to 12 centimeters, the average figure was 7.7 centimeters. In the excited state, the length varied from 7.5 to 17 centimeters with an average value of 11.7 centimeters.
The difference in length between the index finger and the ring finger of the volunteers was from 0.88 to 1.12 centimeters with an average value of 0.97 centimeters. At the same time, the smaller this difference, the longer the erect penis was.
Scientists explain this by the rule that the smaller the difference between the index finger and the ring finger of a man, the greater the impact of the male sex hormone testosterone, he was exposed in the prenatal period and the more he has a receptor density for such hormones. In this case, the growth of the genital organs is directly dependent on the level of sex hormones.
The Internet published research data, conducted by the Australian National Agency for Health and Welfare, on the average length of the male penis men from around the world.
Men in the Democratic Republic of the Congo take the first place in the top five of the owners of the most impressive genital organs - from their words, the members here on average reach 17.93 cm. Ecuadorians boast of 17.7 cm of penises, and on the basis of honest measurements, statements. Residents of Ghana took third place, telling the researchers that the average penis they have at least 17.3 cm.
In addition, the success of a person in the financial business can be predicted by the length of the fingers on his hand, scientists believe. Researchers at the University of Cambridge found that among the traders of the City of London, the biggest money is earned by those whose ring finger is longer than the index finger.
