Because answering your questions is what I do.

Admit it, at least once in your life you’ve wondered about this.

And no, it’s not because marble is cold.

“Ancient Greece was a highly masculinist culture,”
photographer Ingrid Berthon-Moine, who created a
series in which she captured images of ancient
statues’ testicles, told Hyperallergic. “They
favoured ‘small and taut’ genitals, as opposed to
big sex organs, to show male self-control in
matters of sexuality. Today, the modern users as in
commerce, cinema, and advertising converted it
into a mass commodity telling us about
domination and desirability, size matters and the
bigger, the better.”

.

She’s got a point. I’ve yet to meet a modern man who wanted to be regarded as small and taut.

.

Art historian Ellen Oredsson added on the same
topic that people with larger penises were seen to
be “foolish, lustful, and ugly”, while Ancient Greek
playwright Aristophanes writing of the ideal male
traits as “a gleaming chest, bright skin, broad
shoulders, tiny tongue, strong buttocks, and a
little prick.”

.

There you have it.

Although according to Aristophanes, you might have a hard time finding it.

🤣

  3. Ahhh, but you forget growth factor. Not that I am an expert on the matter, but I read where some porn star had next to nothing externally, until he became aroused. Then he grew to 11″, which was well beyond the 8″ requirement (on the longer end of the scale) for consideration as a porn star. The article also said anything under 3″ when erect was also star material. I’ll let the women in the audience show their expertise in the matter of a desirable size (even though love says you take what you get, eh!).
    My own thought is that diameter is probably a better measurement than length. A thick, but not too thick, prick that fills the vagina would probably provide the most enjoyment?
    Because you implied the question could be asked!
    (Just because you are wondering, the “article” was in a work of fiction by a female author who was writing about the porn industry. I cannot remember her name though, the book was forgetable otherwise. Her female protagonist was reading the “Stars Wanted” in an industry magazine. I did not know the porn industry advertised for “stars”, or even had magazines!)

      3. Poor guy! I have had complaints in the too thick department, but only occasionally. Otherwise I would say my equipment is pretty normal, or at least was when I was younger.

  4. Here’s a fine example sophomoric, archaic thinking. Aristophanes obviously never considered that some, probably many, of the women of his time had a certain appreciation for a bit of foolish lustful ugliness. In these more enlightened times I would imagine such thinking is outmoded.

  8. My mind turned to ancient Greek homosexuality (made acceptable by Zeus and Ganymede) and doing it “Greek style” which would make small and taut less frightening than the alternative. I’m wondering about the small tongue thing, though? What were they doing that you’d note how big or small that was?

  11. This is so interesting. The eye of beauty is ever-evolving; remember when more plump women were considered more beautiful than thin (poor/hungry) women? I can’t wait for that to happen again. LOL!!
