Men with long noses really do have bigger penises, a new study shows.
The bigger the hooter, the longer their manhood.
Scientists think it’s down to being exposed to higher levels of testosterone in the womb.
The hormone is known to play a key role in the formation of both the nose and the genitals in baby boys.
The research, by a team at Ulsan University Hospital in South Korea, backs up a 2021 Japanese study which found men with a nose 4.5cm (1.7 inches) long had an average non-erect penis size of 10cm (4 inches).

But those whose snout topped 5.5cm (2.1 inches) boasted an average penis size of 13.4cm – or well over five inches.
The latest probe, published in Translational Andrology and Urology, also shows men with big feet are likely to have a penis with a wider circumference – as testosterone also controls limb formation in the womb.
For years, anecdotal evidence has suggested men with big hands, feet or noses were blessed in the trouser department.
Some studies have suggested having a long ring finger also points to a bigger package.
For the latest investigation, researchers recruited 1,160 men in their thirties and measured their nose size compared to their non-erect penis size.
Nose size was determined by the length from the corner of the eye to the bottom of each nostril.
The results showed most recruits had a flaccid member measuring two to four inches in length and two-and-a-half inches in circumference.
But their manhood tended to be much more impressive if they also had a sizeable nose.
Researcher Dr Sungwoo Hong said: ‘Nose size is an important indicator of penile size.
‘And penile circumference increased with foot size.
‘Several studies have suggested hormone exposure in the prenatal period affects the growth of reproductive organs.’
