A sexual health expert has revealed which body part can shed some insight into the size of someone's, erm, private parts - and it might not be what you expect.
It's a touchy subject, there's no doubt about that.
There have been many studies done on penis size, but how accurate they are depends on how honest participants involved have really been.
But for perhaps a more accurate reading, a doctor has been speaking about the one visible body part that seems to indicate the size of someone's penis.

It's a common belief that someone's hands and feet indicate the size of their manhood - though that is very much an age-old tale.
Dr. Rena Malik set the record straight on the Diary of a CEO podcast earlier this year, and it's she claims it's another body part entirely that links to penis size.
"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 that nose length was correlated with penile length, not hand length or foot," she explained.
The expert didn't go further on whether she has seen or even been involved in studies linking nose and penis size, though she did claim to have seen an increase in men concerned about the size of their penis.
Malik went on to say that a survey done with 50,000 heterosexual men found 45 percent were unhappy with the way their penis looks.
The topic was all about sex on the Steven Bartlett-hosted podcast, with Malik also touching on how much sex a couple should be having.
She said: "There's no ideal number, but when you look at studies which have looked at large numbers of people, people who are in partnered relationships are having sex about once a week on average.
"If they're in partnered relationships where sex is always available, but it's so variable person to person.
"What I really like to say is it's not the quantity of sex that matters, it's the quality of sex.
"If you're having good sex once a month that may be sufficient for you rather than having mediocre or bad sex four times a month, or 10 times a month even.
"Ultimately there's no right number, it's really what's right for you and I think focusing on some benchmark of sex is actually harmful because now you're like 'I need to have sex this many times'."
