Japanese Research Reveals Nose Length Linked To Penis Size

JAKARTA - A recent study from Japan gave rise to unique findings that immediately attracted attention. The length of the nose turns out to have the strongest correlation with the size of the penis, even beating the size of the hand and feet which have often been used as a reference for myths.

Reporting from the South Morning China Post, the research conducted by the team at the Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine analyzed autopsy data from 124 men. The researchers measured various parts of the body, then compared them with stretched penile length, the length of the penis when pulled slowly in an erectile condition.

The results were quite surprising. The man with the bigger nose has an average penis length of about 13.5 cm, while those with the nose are about 10.4 cm smaller on average.

Interestingly, this difference is not related to height, weight, or age. The research team suspects that this relationship was formed from the time it was in the womb.

"These findings show that male hormone exposure during fetal development can affect the size of the nose and penis," explained the head of the research team, Dr. Hiroshi Ikegaya.

"The curvature in the womb seems to play a bigger role than growth after maturity," he added.

On the other hand, Dr. Rena Malik, an urologist from Beverly Hills, considers this finding important because it strengthens popular beliefs such as the size of a hand or leg as a determinant of the size of a penis does not actually have a strong scientific basis. According to him, so far only the length of the nose has shown clear statistical correlations.

Similar research has also been conducted in South Korea. A study by Prof. Kim Tae-beom of Gachon University found that men with ring fingers longer than their index fingers tend to have longer penises. This relationship is also associated with exposure to testosterone while still in the womb which also affects the development of fingers and reproductive organs.

Experts add penis sizes not only about appearance, but can be an indicator of hormonal processes and developmental health since the early stages of life.
