Scientists Say Index Finger Length Can Predict ***** Size!

[peter2002]

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) (http://www.reuters.com/news_article.jhtml?type=healthnews&StoryID=1600445) - On the heels of a previous report that debunked the notion that a man's shoe size could be used to estimate the length of his *****, a new study now claims that those with inquiring minds need merely take a gander at a man's forefinger.

According to Greek scientists, the length of a man's index finger can accurately predict the length of his *****. The findings are published in the September issue of the journal Urology.

Dr. Evangelos Spyropoulos and colleagues from the Naval and Veterans Hospital of Athens, Greece say they conducted their investigation to gather more information on the relationship between body measurements and male genitalia size. They argue that such information--as well as a clearer definition of "normal penile size"--will help doctors counsel and treat the many men who are concerned about perceived inadequacies relating to their genitals.

The "lack of standardized metric data and the absence of widely acceptable criteria on the proper size of the external genitalia poses major difficulties in the counseling and/or treatment of young adult men with worries of sexual inadequacy," the authors write.

In their study, Spyropoulos and colleagues measured penile length and testicular volume in 52 healthy young males between the ages of 19 and 38 and compared them with other body measurements including height, weight, body mass index, index finger length and waist/hip ratio.

In lieu of measuring a man's erect *****, the team measured the flaccid, gently stretched *****, which they note is statistically correlated to erect ***** length.

"Age and (body measurements) were not associated with the size of the genitalia, excluding the index finger length, which correlated significantly with the dimensions of the flaccid, maximally stretched, *****," the report indicates.

"We realize that the study population was relatively inadequate and suggest that a greater scale study with a significantly larger number of subjects is needed to confirm the observations, particularly the demonstrated trend of penile length with index finger length," Spyropoulos and colleagues conclude.

More proof that scientists are really stupid. I wonder how much the government spent to fund this study?

In kind of makes sense, women always seem to like a man with big, strong, hands.

Peter :D (no pun intended)

Whew!

I knew there was something wrong there.http://img.ranchoweb.com/images/veronica/eek.gifhttp://www.ranchoweb.com/thumbs/36754.21.biggrin.gif

MAN, I was gonna say...! :eek: It sounded like they were talking about an ERECT one there at first...

What is a *****? A heart? A liver? Cheek? Brain? Mouth? Wrist? Spine? This doesn't make any sense.

Jeeze, poor guys. "Have sexual adequacy issues? Come be a part of our study. We'll gladly confirm it for you!" :D

Now what's with this "maximally stretched" business? Are these things all elastic-like? Is there a certain point after which they won't snap back?

As for the study... hm. At least lesbians make no scientific pretense about checking out... hm, won't go there. ;)

[scem0]

Are these things all elastic-like?

No.

[shadowfax]

man, we need to fund more stuff like this, especially in the height of recession in the economy! what is a *****, anyways? :rolleyes: after spending 8 hours comparing the length of my index finger to various other parts of my body, i realized... damn america and the "penile" system.

if you don't realize i am being facetious, i pity your soul

well, on good days

[Durandal7]

What's all this about the US Government funding this?

I thought that the Greeks conducted the study :confused:

I was wondering the same thing. Damn the illiterate fools trying to post on MR. :D

[MacBandit]

Hmm. I just want to know what the proportion comes out to because my finger length is in no way a comparison to my penile size. Directly that is and no to the jokes out there it isn't smaller.

After all these years the greeks are still obsessed with genitalia. What does that say about them?

***** is definitely longer than finger, duh

i am about 6.5" inches which means i can prolly grab a basketball with one hand and do a dunk shot
:p

[shadowfax]

with your index finger or your *****?

[e-coli]

well, i'm not so sure this is true. I have short-ish fingers and a generous package. maybe i'm a mutant.

well, sadly, i cannot brag about either one, but it doesn't bug me very much though

there don't seem to be any standards for men as in cup size for women

if there were an A thru D format, it "might" go like this

under six inches...size A
six to eight inches...size B
eight to ten inches...size C
ten to twelve inche...size D
over twelve inches....LIAR LIAR

:D :eek: :p

[mac15]

oh comon, what guy is over 12inchs , there average size is 6inchs and most guys are stuck at 6 , thats scale is kinda not cool


2 to 3...size A (hahahaha)
4 to 6...size B (under average to average)
7 to 8...size C ( hehe nice )
9 to 10..size D (god damn you must be a black guy)
over 12.... (rubber or you paid to fix yourself up)

[jefhatfield]

here is a more realistic and fair chart

under 3"........size a, very rare
3-5...............size b, average low end
5-7...............size c, average
7-9...............size d, average high end
over 9...........size e, very rare

[mac15]

is that on a flop (pardon the slang) :)
I'd imagine not

[jefhatfield]

for women, i have no idea what cup measurements are "average"

there was once an iq thread and i once saw a list on the internet

70 - borderline
100 - average
120 - typical college graduate
140 - gifted on the higher end of gifted
160 and above - genius
180 and above - too high to accurately measure

[MacBandit]

Boy the average man has to work hard to get that ocean in motion.

odd is right

i tried to get little mr jefhatfield close enough to the ibook screen to make sure i was the size of the cup ;)

as it turns out, i was a little smaller than the picture which was 5 7/8 inches

so how come a ruler shows me at 6.25-6.5 inches depending on my current mood?

here's what...we will have to have another geek fest and since you are the resident expert, you can record the official measurements of everybody...hey, this is getting to sound like the original olympics:p

I had my fresh hot starbucks coffee handy when i saw that. Tried to measure. But damn if I didn't spill all the coffee and burn my piece..... stupid study

are you serious?

way too dangerous...you may hurt little moxiemike!

get a straight edge, ruler, piece of tape, dental floss and measure out the 5 7/8 inches

then go to a discreet place, like a bathroom stall at starbucks

and then measure out and get results

remember, measure from the top because mesuring from the bottom side is cheating...i learned that from dr. dean edell on kgo/abc talk radio:p

j.... i thought you knew me! I would NEVER use *$'s to measure my unit. It's corporate greed that has me annoyed. My local café has a "grande" or medium that measures 7 inches. To hell with ***** size. I want the bigger coffee. :D

lmao big time

bigger coffee causes problems with me on the other end since it's like drano

i only drink the last 1 ounce of coffee from my wife's starbuck cup...6 ounces or more then it becomes projectile time and then i would have to join that crazy poop thread...which, by now is on its way to an all time record

man, macrumors posters have their minds in the toilet:p

[e-coli]

i just found out i'm a venti

[rainman::|:|]

BTW guys, the whole 6" average thing is bunk... i don't remember what the latest study is but it's something like 5.2"...

trust me, i've seen a few, it's true.

I don't really get how scientific "gently stretched" is tho... i mean you've got showers and growers, me being the latter, and if you went by gently streched flacid, i'd be drastically underrated...

rj's a shower, i'll have to check it out on him later... for scientiic purposes, of course.

Nope. They are gone...

5.2 is average...cool

then i am a god:p

[uhlawboi80]

well i have heard that the 6" thing is bunk, but 5.2"?? that seems way too small. i am not sure where you are paul but i have seen a rather large number *adjusts halo* and i have rarely seen any smaller than 6, with most being bigger than that. Maybe gay men are just bigger on average, or maybe things really are just bigger in texas...

but i will agree with the shower and grower thing. some guys barely get bigger and some will triple in size, so the flacid stretch thing seems like a bad idea to me..

[jefhatfield]

this thread is starting to get in bad taste, so we may have to have arn create an adults only picture gallery for us venti obsessed macrumors posters

and dudes, it's not the meat that attracts the girls, it's the motion:p

[scem0]

man, macrumors posters have their minds in the toilet



That is true... But our heads are in space with all this talk of black holes, and 'have you been to space?'. Right now I am wondering how this got from ***** size to cofee cup sizes.... :D to lazy to digure out...;)

[shadowfax]

i bet that whole "5.2 inch" thing is just to make 90% of guys feel better about themselves, thinking they are "above average." and that whole 9-12 inches thing "LIAR LIAR" LOL Jefhatfield. anyone who claims that has a freudian complex in which he is really referring to his horse's size. that's really disgusting.

Wow, they have gays in texas? ;) no heterosexual person here will believe this, but there have actually been studies on whether or not gay guys have better endowments... some say yes, some say inconclusive... i think the bigger ones just get more widely circulated...

and this thread is in pretty good taste compared to "the official poop" thread... my god, i cant believe that one was allowed to continue :) now about this "adults only" section... hehehe

to be completely honest, i think the whole concept of trying to find a body part that's comparable sized is just pointless, for one thing size is really not that important... and bodies are so weird, i can't see there ever being a universal similarity. Although there is that thing about the length of your thumb and nose (or something like that)...

Especially to conduct these types of studies... :rolleyes:
