This Adds Another Dimension to "Crossing the Finish Line"

This Adds Another Dimension to "Crossing the Finish Line"

And yet another reason to support why I love endurance running:

According to the University of Cambridge's Division of Biological Anthropology, athletes who compete in moderately paced long-distance endurance running may have higher sex drives and better sex lives than slower running counterparts. Of course it just isn't about the running now is it?

Researchers took down the race times of 542 male and female competitors. They also photocopied their hands.

Why touch all of those sweaty hands? Because looking at a person’s finger length is the most accurate way to tell if he or she was exposed to high or low levels of testosterone in the womb. Research shows that people who were exposed to the most testosterone have ring fingers that are longer than their index fingers.

Researchers also found, long-ring-fingered people are also faster runners. The 10 percent of men with the most testosterone-stoked digit ratios (their ring fingers were way longer than their index fingers) were, on average, 24 minutes and 33 seconds faster than the 10 percent of men with the least testosterone-y ratios (their ring fingers were way shorter than their index fingers). Meanwhile, the 10 percent of women who were exposed to the most prenatal testosterone were 11 minutes and 59 seconds faster, compared to female competitors who had been exposed to the least amount of T.

Previous studies suggest that higher testosterone levels in men and women contribute to higher sex drives, so researchers think that fast endurance runners are on top of more than just their running game. Plus, women with high levels of testosterone orgasm more often than their low-T counterparts, according to research in Hormones and Behavior.

Have you checked out your fingers yet? Not to worry if your digits didn't make the cut. Moderate exercise can boost testosterone levels, running times, and sex life. Just another reason to get my ass to the gym.

FYI: My ring fingers are about a half inch longer than my index fingers. And yes, that's me on the right running last year's<b> marathon.</font></b>

So, does this mean . . .
1) instead of posting dick pics we should post hand pics?
or
2) does it give a different meaning to fingering?

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

Hmmm, interesting, I've read a few things regarding the relative length of index and ring fingers and testosterone and the effects of that testosterone.

You damn toot'n I checked my fingers just before the period appeared.

Exercise. Shopping now for a pre-owned treadmill. Twelve months of gym membership plus fuel to go and come back equaled the cost of a refurbished Proform.
Though, I did weigh in the loss of seeing some honeys working out. Booty on the move.
I may just rethink this purchase.

My ring fingers are about 1/4" longer than my index fingers. Maybe a whole 1/2" on my right hand.

I am also a distance runner.

Love your pic!

I’ve also heard ring fingers that are longer than index fingers as it relates to cock size, and presumably for the same reason - having been exposed to more testosterone in the womb.

I’m not sure if it is true or not, but I DO know it is a sure way to get men looking at their hands! (Ring finger about ¼” longer than index on me BTW. )

My first half was Cross Timbers Trail Run at Texoma. The course was wet and it was 6000'+ vertical. Brutal.

Thank goddess my ring finger is shorter than my index...I can't imagine my sex drive higher! (well ok, not lately...lol but usually). There would have been dead men - lots of them - and a few women here in Denver.

So admire runners...and you! xoxo

ps - how's your injury?

Thanks for asking! I had an MRI last week and the results showed no rips or tears. My meniscus looks healthy. The results were forwarded to my PT. Over the last four days, I am nearly pain free and I have more range of movement. Of course it goes without saying, I've been babying the hell out of it: elevating, icing, foam rolling, manually massaging it and taking ibuprofen to keep the swelling to a minimum. I'm feeling more confident that I can get back into running in the near future.

My ring fingers are longer than my index fingers. And I do 5K's to Marathons, but don't ask me my times. Great shot of you doing last year's marathon.
