The more hair you have on your face and body, the smaller size your testis has, study found

News24xx.com - Some foreign media reported that men with a lot of hair on their faces and bodies may have smaller penis size. It turns out that there is scientific research that becomes the base for that statement. It is the research of scientists from the University of Western Australia and the University of Zurich who observed male sexual development in a number of primate species.

They found a link between testicular sizes in each species. In essence, male primates have limitations in developing traits to attract the opposite sex and the qualities needed to fertilize them. In this case, scientists compared the hair growth and primate testis size.

It was found that primates with more hair tended to have smaller testicular sizes. Hair represents sexual ornaments to appeal to the opposite sex, while testicular size is related to the ability to fertilize the women.

One of the researchers involved, Grueter Cryll explained that the size of the primate testicles varied greatly from the size of pepper to the size of a tennis ball. The appearance of the male, in this study is related to that size. "These findings clearly show that you can look attractive and 'abundant', but it is difficult to do both" explained Cryll, quoted from Mirror.
