My friend Dr. Field Farrar, just sent me this informative article that discusses the relationship between how much testosterone you received from your mother while she was pregnant with you and your testosterone level later in life. The article shows that there is a statistically valid correlation between the testosterone you received in utero and your finger size which can predict all kinds of things from penis size to risk of prostate cancer.

Finger Length, Penis & Your Testosterone Level
by Dr. Field Farrar

Most people consider the idea that hand size equates to penis size to be a stupid joke. But new research indicates that finger length can definitely show what a guy is packing. But more interesting is that, finger length can also reveal several other traits about both men and women, including their athletic ability, testosterone level and risk of disease.

Many of you have probably heard the stale joke that men with big hands have large penises. And these comments often come from guys who are overcompensating for deficiencies in a number of areas - especially the penis department.

But there may actually be some truth to the idea that hand size, more specifically finger size, can reveal the largeness, or smallness, of a man's genitalia. Moreover, finger length can also serve as a measurement for both men and women's testosterone levels, athletic ability, risk of disease and more. That said, let's discuss a recent study on the subject and explain how you can apply the findings to yourself.

The Effects of Prenatal Testosterone

A team led by Dr. Tae Beom Kim, a urologist at Gachon University in Incheon, South Korea, studied 144 men, who were anesthetized before undergoing urological surgery. Researchers measured the distance between the test subjects' index finger and ring finger, then they measured the penises (stretched-out and flaccid). It is important to note, that we are not talking here about a man's testosterone level. Fortunately, guys can influence their current testosterone level with a testosterone accelerator like HCGenerate, but what we cannot influence is how much testosterone we got prenatally - when our mothers were pregnant with us.

Most men already have longer ring fingers than index fingers. But test subjects who had a larger average distance between their ring and index fingers were found to have bigger penises. So does this mean that finger length determines the size of your johnson?

Actually, index and ring finger distance is just an indicator of how much testosterone you received during fetal development. Men who got a large doze of testosterone during the middle of the second trimester are likely to have larger penises. Additionally, they normally have higher testosterone levels, improved athleticism and more success in business.

Most women have roughly equal distance between their index and ring fingers because they aren't exposed to as much testosterone in the womb. Perhaps explaining why many females are less aggressive than men.

How to determine your Finger Quotient

To determine your finger quotient (Fq) and see how it compares to recent research, begin by measuring your index and ring fingers from base to tip (most studies use the right hand). Take your index finger measurement and divide it by the ring finger. A longer ring finger/shorter index finger will have an Fq of less than 1, which signifies the typical male hand.

To illustrate an example of this, let's say that your index finger measures 3 inches and your ring finger is 3.4 inches long. Doing the division, your Fq would be 0.882, thus indicating a man with potentially high testosterone. On the contrary, if your Fq was 0.950, you'd potentially have less testosterone and a smaller penis than the first example. Now let us move on to an in-depth analysis of different traits that your finger quotient could indicate.

Lower Finger Quotient

Good Athletic Ability: Fq < 1

Like I discussed before, having a greater distance between your index and ring fingers alludes to improved athleticism. In fact, a study that covered college varsity athletes (male and female) showed that they have a lower Fq than other students.

Increased Physical Aggression: Fq < 1

Men with shorter index fingers have a tendency to get in more fights than other males. Women with a similar hand shape are also likely to be aggressive when provoked.

More Verbal Aggression: Fq < 1

A lower Fq also alludes to more verbal aggression in both men and women.

Risk-taking Behavior: Fq < 1

Men with longer ring fingers are more likely to take risks in business and life in general. Research indicates that many successful male financial traders have short index fingers. As for women with short index fingers, there's been nothing to suggest that they're more successful in business.

Higher Finger Quotient

Higher Rate of Oral Cancer: Fq > 1

An all-male study showed that a higher Fq, where one's index and ring finger are closer in length, could foreshadow oral cancer in males.

Lower Risk of Prostate Cancer: Fq > 1

Men with a longer index finger have a 33 percent less chance of prostate cancer. Assuming one is younger than 60, the risk is 87 percent.

Better Knees: F1 > 1

Having a high Fq can mean a reduced risk of knee osteoarthritis. This has been shown to be especially true in women.

Interesting, right?
