Carr, Associate Editor and Featured Columnist Perhaps no other body part has been the subject of more speculation and mythology than the male human penis. Is penis length related to the length of a man’s foot? Does finger size predict penis size? How does penis size vary by race—is it true that men of African descent have the largest penises, while men of Asian descent have the smallest penises? Do Caucasian men have smaller or larger penises than other races? Do Jewish men have smaller or larger penises than non-Jewish Caucasian men? And does size really matter? Surprisingly, there have been relatively few scientific studies on penis length, at least studies where a large enough sample size has been included to establish that the results can be trusted statistically. Another problem with certain of the studies is that they rely on self-reporting by the men themselves as to the length of their penises. We have examined every existing research study on penis length to determine which commonly held beliefs about penis size are based in fact and which can be discarded as unsupported myth. Top 5 Common Beliefs About Penis Size-True or False Penis Size Can Be Predicted by Foot Size. Can a man’s foot size or shoe size predict his penis size? There are studies which go both ways on this issue. However, the greater weight of authority tilts in the direction of dispelling this belief as myth. For example, a 2002 study from St. Mary's Hospital, London, UK measured the penis length of 104 men and related this to their shoe size. They discovered the median penis length for the sample was 13cm (5.12 inches) and the median shoe size was 9 (European 43). However, when it came to a statistically significant correlation between the two, none was found. The researchers concluded the “myth” of penis length and shoe size has no scientific basis. Does a Man’s Index Finger or Hand Size Predict His Penis Size? Going on the results of a few small studies from around the world, it seems the finger may be an accurate predictor of penis length. Is this myth true? A 2002 study carried out by the Department of Urology, Naval and Veterans Hospital of Athens, Greece said yes – there is a significant correlation between index finger length and penis length (the mean penis length was measured at 12.18cm, the equivalent of 4.79 inches). The longer the index finger, the longer the penis. The study was small, however; just 52 men were measured. A 2007 study from Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Iran, which looked at 1,500 Iranian men, found a mean penis length of 11.58cm, the equivalent of 4.56 inches The mean girth was 8.66cm, equivalent to 3.40 inches in thickness. The research showed that index finger length was correlated with penis length, but only slightly. Longer penises were generally correlated with longer index fingers. Much larger studies would need to be carried out to completely verify these findings. What about other parts of the body? Does a man’s physique reflect his penis size? In general, studies have found no direct correlation between physique, or body mass, and penis size. One 2006 study carried out by Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Nnewi, Nigeria tested the traditional Nigerian “myth” that a man’s penis size can be predicted by the size of his buttocks and his general physique. The long-held belief is that men with flat buttocks and a small physique are likely to have long penises. The researchers measured the penis length of 115 Nigerian men and correlated it with their body mass index and the size of their hips, measured around the largest part of the buttocks. Researchers found the median penis length to be 13.37cm and that there was no correlation between penis length and physique (body mass index). There was, however, a significant direct correlation between length of the penis and the size of the buttocks but it didn’t reinforce the old myth – men with large buttocks were more likely to have longer penises. Do Jewish Men Have Larger or Smaller Penises Than Average? It seems this one is a myth, and without further study it can’t be held up with any degree of scientific accuracy. As far as we were able to tell, only one study has looked directly at Jewish males in comparison with other ethnic groups when discussing penis size – but it came to no conclusions regarding a difference in male genitalia size. The 1996 study from Soroka Medical Center, Ben-Gurion University, Israel measured the penis length of 570 full-term babies, 221 of which were Jews and 349 who were Bedouins. There was no reported difference in penis size between the two groups. Do Black Men Have Larger Penises?
