"PURPOSE: Penile size has been a focus of interest in the life and the culture throughout human history. It has been a longstanding question whether there is any relation between penile size and the dimensions of body extremities. We measured the standard length of the penis and investigate whether any body extremity is a predictive index of penile size in Korea men.
PATIENTS AND METHODS
A series of 655 males above 17 years of age were examined during a 4-month period. Stretched penile length, penile circumference, and length and characteristics of various body parts and features (1st finger, 2nd finger, 3rd finger, 1st toe, 2nd toe, 3rd toe, ear, mouth, nose, height, weight, and baldness) were investigated by one examiner. To see the relation among the penile length and circumference and various body dimensions, univariate and multivariate statistical methods such as correlation analysis and multiple linear regression were applied."
