An expert in sexual health has disclosed which part of the body can give some clues about the size of a person’s private parts – and it may not be what one would typically assume.
This is undoubtedly a sensitive topic.
Numerous studies have been conducted on penis size, but their accuracy is often questionable due to the honesty of the participants involved.
However, for a potentially more precise understanding, a doctor has discussed which visible body part could indicate someone’s penis size.
Commonly, it’s believed that hand and foot size correlates with manhood size – a notion that is more of an age-old myth.
Dr. Rena Malik clarified this topic on the Diary of a CEO podcast earlier this year, suggesting that another body part entirely might be linked to penis size.
“There’s one study — it’s a Japanese study where they looked at only Japanese men so there are some limitations — but they measured all these body parts and penile length and they found that nose length was correlated with penile length, not hand length or foot,” she explained.
Dr. Malik did not elaborate on whether she has participated in studies linking nose size to penis size, but she did mention observing an increase in men concerned about their penis size.
She also noted a survey involving 50,000 heterosexual men, which revealed that 45 percent were dissatisfied with the appearance of their penis.
The discussion on the Steven Bartlett-hosted podcast centered around sex, with Malik also addressing how frequently a couple should be engaging in sexual activity.
She commented: “There’s no ideal number, but when you look at studies which have looked at large numbers of people, people who are in partnered relationships are having sex about once a week on average.
“If they’re in partnered relationships where sex is always available, but it’s so variable person to person.
“What I really like to say is it’s not the quantity of sex that matters, it’s the quality of sex.
“If you’re having good sex once a month that may be sufficient for you rather than having mediocre or bad sex four times a month, or 10 times a month even.
“Ultimately there’s no right number, it’s really what’s right for you and I think focusing on some benchmark of sex is actually harmful because now you’re like ‘I need to have sex this many times’.”
