Hi Piers,
No real substitute for precise direct measurement, but there are indeed
anthropometric correlates of no androgen exposure
during growth that you correctly hint at ---- eunuchoid proportions.
This include a lower body segment (floor to pubis) that is more than 2
cm longer than upper body segment (pubis to crown), and an arm span
that is more than 5 cm longer than height. In comparison, a normal
adult male has approximately equal upper and lower body segments as
well as arm span and height. I keep high tech measuring devices handy
to check this on occasion--- measuring tape and stadiometer--effective
and not too tough on the overhead.
I kinda like the colors but you don't want to be in the "blue" zone as
an adult.
A keeping em in the orange,
Mike
Mike, that has to qualify as one of the more outrageous claims made
online
... and I commend you for it :-)
Question - do you use the inter-tibial distance as a proxy measurement
instead of using the orchidometer?
And I didn't realise they came in different colours - the guy with blue
ones
must have quite a handful.
Thanks for an unexpected smile
Piers

I recently donated my Prader orchidometer to the newest
endocrinologist in
one of my offices as I no longer require it to estimate testicular
volume.
(much practice)
