A doctor has revealed the body part that gives an indication of a man's penis size.

One of the biggest infatuations in the world seems to be with penis size - what length is best? Can one make it bigger? What do women tend to prefer?

Some have even tried to find ways to determine which men have the biggest penis sizes without even getting into their pants.

Speaking on Steven Bartlett's 'Diary of a CEO' podcast Dr. Rena Malik, a surgeon and expert in urology, decided to debunk those theories with real-life studies after she was asked whether there was a body part that can accurately reflect the size of one's shaft.

"One of the myths around penis size is that if I have big hands - because you know, these aren't small hands - that... I have a big penis. Or that if I have big feet, then I [also] have a big penis," the host asked.

"Is there data to support this idea that the length of any part of my body is correlated to my penis?"

Dr. Malik responded by quoting the results of a study that could actually help to identify this, but it did not involve hands or feet.

"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 was that nose length was correlated with penile length, not hand length or foot," she explained.

"So how do I increase the length of my nose?" joked Bartlett.

Dr. Malik noted that these things are not within one's control and that they're "pre-genetically determined to some degree."

However, she also added that over the years due to evolution, penile length (on average) has increased and is most likely going to continue to increase.


Elsewhere, the surgeon also opened up about the average length of a shaft, stating that it comes in at around 5.1 to 5.3 inches.

She also pointed out that men tend to think it's bigger than it actually is, explaining that they think it's about six inches.

But after studying which sex toys are the most popular among women, it was discovered that they prefer around the average length of a normal penis rather than anything bigger.

So there we have it folks, if you're worried about your penis size, don't be - you might just have an average one just like most others!
