Admit it: everyone has wandered around a museum or Italy or something and wondered why ancient statues have such tiny penises.
\u00a0
They are so itty bitty, and even if they\u2019re flaccid, they\u2019re still really small.
\u00a0
According to New York Magazine\u2019s The Cut, there\u2019s a super simple answer for all of this.
\u00a0
Just like the standard of beauty for women is different now than it was centuries ago, the same goes for ancient men\u2019s junk. In Greek and Roman times, large penises were seen as a sign of foolishness and debauchery, while men with small penises were thought to be wiser and more rational and all of that.
\u00a0
In fact, there are lots of ancient statues with enormous cocks, but they\u2019re all depictions of satyrs and \u201clustful\u201d characters. This makes so much sense, because if Michelangelo\u2019s \u201cDavid\u201d is supposed to be the ideal man, he needs a few more inches.
\u00a0
But if he\u2019s supposed to be cool and rational and everything, it totally works to shave a few off. There are also lots of other theories (probably from art history professors with small penises) that the rooms the models were standing in were cold, or that many of the statues are uncircumcised and the penis is more withdrawn into the body.
\u00a0
But I like the idea that the smaller the weiner, the smarter the man.
\u00a0
I\u2019m just running through my personal tally of men\u2019s junk and their personalities, and it\u2019s a semi-amusing practice. Of course, though, beauty standards are made up by assholes most of the time. It\u2019s entirely probable that a few Greek philosophers had small penises and turned it into, like, a thing. The Greek poet and playwright Aristophanes writes in Clouds:
\u00a0
\u201cIf you do these things I tell you, and bend your efforts to them, you will always have a shining breast, a bright skin, big shoulders, a minute tongue, a big rump and a small prick.
\u00a0
But if you follow the practices of today, for a start you\u2019ll have a pale skin, small shoulders, a skinny chest, a big tongue, a small rump, a big prick and a long-winded decree.\u201d
\u00a0
What it really shows is that men have always been ridiculously obsessed with the length and girth of their penises.
\u00a0
It\u2019s almost silly, because bigger is not always better. In fact, having a huge cock can also be a pain in the ass (or sometimes everywhere) for women.
\u00a0
The average penis is smaller than most of the ones we see in porn, clocking in at around five inches, erect, and about three inches flaccid. In that sense, some of those ancient statues have just a little smaller than normal penises.
\u00a0
So maybe it\u2019s better not to laugh at David\u2019s small dick.
\u00a0
Just like women want to be free of body and beauty standards, I think all sex-positive women should start being a little more open about their penis preferences.
\u00a0
If you like big penises all the time, good for you. I\u2019d much rather a solid average any day (just not Greek statue teeny).<\/p>\n
