London:
Men who have lots of lovers are exposed to high levels
of male hormones in their mother's womb, according to a
new study They claim the level of testosterone a baby boy
is exposed to in the womb determines how sexually promiscuous
he will be. The higher the testosterone level, the more
sexual partners he will have. Psychologist Johannes Honekopp
found these men may be more successful with women because
early exposure to hormones may make them more sexually attractive,
reports the Mirror. Mr Honekopp of Chemnitz University,
Germany, used the "second to fourth finger ratio" theory.
"Men who are exposed to higher levels of testosterone in
the womb have ring fingers that are significantly longer
still than their index fingers," he said.
