Viral 'Hung Smile' Trend Sparking Concerns, Debunked by Experts
A viral social media trend claims to reveal a man's 'endowment' based on his smile, sparking concern among men and intrigue among observers. However, medical experts dismiss the theory as unfounded.
The 'hung smile' trend, popularized by TikTok user Stephen Brenland, suggests that a confident, flirty grin indicates a man's self-assurance and, supposedly, his 'downstairs assets'. Actor David Corenswet's recent Superman press tour and GQ shoot photos have been widely shared in relation to this trend. However, Dr. Rena Malik, a sexual health surgeon, has seen an increase in patients concerned about their manhood due to this misinformation.
Dr. Malik dismisses the 'hung smile' theory, along with other old myths about hands, feet, or shoes. She suggests that nose length might be correlated with penile length, based on a limited Japanese study. However, she cautions that this is not a reliable indicator and that there is no scientific evidence linking a man's smile to his 'endowment'.
The 'hung smile' trend, while popular on social media, is more fantasy than fact. Medical experts advise against relying on such theories to gauge a man's 'endowment'. It is essential to promote accurate sexual health information and discourage misinformation.
