We’ve all heard the saying, “big feet, big meat,” suggesting that a person’s foot size might hint at their manhood. But how true is that? Well, it turns out— not at all. The same goes for the idea about big hands, too.
Still, there’s a glimmer of hope. One doctor has pointed out that there’s actually a body part that may correlate with a man’s penis size. It seems we’ve just been looking in the wrong places. Dr. Rena Malik spoke on this topic during an appearance on the podcast Diary of a CEO with Steven Bartlett. She referenced a study from Japan that proposed that a man’s nose length could indicate penis size.
“The longer the nose from the bridge to the tip, the more it correlates with penis length,” she explained, at least regarding the Japanese participants they examined.
Does a person’s nose actually reflect penis size?
Dr. Malik’s insights come from a 2021 study published in the journal Basic and Clinical Andrology. This research identified a positive connection between a person’s stretched penile length (SPL) and various factors, including height, weight, nose size, and measurements of other body parts.
In a study involving 126 men in their 30s to 50s, it was discovered that guys with larger noses had an average SPL of 5.3 inches, while those with smaller noses came in at around 4.1 inches. A follow-up study in 2023 showed similar results.
The findings hinted that penis size might be predetermined before birth and not particularly influenced by age, height, or weight. Interestingly, losing a significant amount of body weight can make the penis seem larger.
As for the old beliefs regarding hands and feet being indicators? Dr. Malik mentioned they’re “not necessarily true.”
What factors influence penis size?
As noted by Healthline, being well-endowed relates to multiple factors, including genetics, hormones, and nutrition during early life. The site specifies that penis growth typically concludes around age 18 or 19, with greater exposure to testosterone and growth hormones leading to longer sizes. Conversely, increased environmental estrogen can result in a shorter length.
So, there you have it. A little more to ponder about what influences size.
