HAHAH good question why?

Why do ancient Greek statues have such small penises?

The had very small little hands. :D

HAHAH good question why?

LOL I'm with shorty. Why would this bother you?

Bother me? I'm just curious why they're all sporting micrococks. Did they just have small penises back then? Do they still? Was it an art thing?

Now I'm really wondering. I just noticed your Avatar.

probably to take the focus off of it.

because it was cold when they made those Greek statues?

No, these people posed in unheated rooms and didn't feel the cultural urge to fondle their parts to enlarge them to give the impression that they are always large.

Greeks were confident men back then. They kicked ass. They didn't need to portray that they could kick ass.

because the guys posing were adolescents?

No, these people posed in unheated rooms

But who heats their rooms in Greece? It's fucking hot there.

and didn't feel the cultural urge to fondle their parts to enlarge them to give the impression that they are always large.

Why'd they shave?

That is a good point. I doubt live models stood there with their penes out and they may have gotten the generic model.

Not in the winter. Actually, from personal experience I can say it doesn't really matter if it is hot or cold. My little wiener (there are children here) always is small, unless I fondle it. Or I am completely relaxed.

they didn't.

I think Why? has several different names here lol

Alright, now that I inspect that picture closer, I suppose there is some hair there. Hrm. Looks like some trimming takes place. Or maybe ball hair is just hard to sculpt.

maybe they made the 'wiener' smaller to make the testicles look larger?

Maybe it wasn't as sexy to them as it is to us. Maybe the torso was the most desirable aspect.

How would you know those aren't average?

They certainly have a good set of balls. Maybe posing for a scupltor was difficult and caused shrinkage?

The nude models that pose for art classes here have bigger penises, and the art studio is drafty (and was unheated at the time). Nor did I see them fondling anything, and they had to pose for several hours. In front of a bunch of judgemental eyes.

Perhaps the self selection of who doesn't mind whipping it out leads to bigger than average penises in art classes and we should discount that anecdote entirely.

I don't, that's why I'm asking you smart fucks.

ok. i know i am not allowed to post real stuff here, but the ancient greeks didn't make statures to depict sexiness.

grrrrr

Then I suggest that they are perfectly normal. Maybe our idea of what's normal has been skewed by the modern porn industry.

I have another theory.

They kept the penis small because it was an item that would easily break off.

A practical consideration.

I was thinking that. Marble is brittle. Anything that sticks out too far will break.

Oh come on, everyone knows greek statues was like porno for the ancient greeks.

You know, you never see the backsides of those statues. Think they got tight, hard asses? Cause then the pieces would really start coming together.

fingers?

probably to take the focus off of it.

No, i am fairly certain that is the answer. Last thing we need are sculptors in competion for the largest member.

I really have no idea, but it could be a matter of style.

Someone once told me that large penises in Roman times were mocked. I have no idea if it's true. I was going to google but decided against it.

Yes, look what happened to Venus Di Milo.

I was going to google but decided against it.

yeah, i google everyhting that pops into my head.

Everytime I see this thread in the list I keep reading it as GEEKS WITH LITTLE DICKS.....lol

GEEKS WITH LITTLE DICKS.....lol

yep, that too.:D

The average flacid penis size is only 2-3 inches.

2 inches? :bugeye: ummmmmm not the one I am comparing it to.

2 inches? :bugeye: ummmmmm not the one I am comparing it to.

LMAO.. GOOD ONE!!

But NO! :) that is NOTHING!

I'm going to go with lack of central heating.

Microphallus, in faux Greek.

They weren't all, tiny.

Maybe the Greek women had tight pussies?

Maybe the Greek women had tight pussies?

Only the virgins.

Maybe the Greek women had tight pussies?

or tiny mouths :eek:

Or assholes!

Ahem...the guys took care of the assholes.

Hey, Perfect's back.
Speaking of Finn's with little dicks. Oh, waiit. This is about Greeks. Oh well. Close enough.

Careful, Perfect. The forum is a tad more uptight these days.

I thought it was because Renaissance artists made them proportionally small on purpose. I'm not sure if it was because most the the works were commissioned by the church or not...

good point....the church and all.

Or else, they just had small penises and knew that the flaccid penis size is unrelated to the erect penis size and did not care to exaggerate their penises for posterity to wonder about

Careful, Perfect. The forum is a tad more uptight these days.

Reported.

Reported.

good call!

Let's keep this place clean so I can dump my children in front of the computer.

Perfect? There's no-one of that name in this thread. What's more Perfect hasn't posted since 9th October.

Deleted post? Suckpoppet? nexusian delusion?

Selection bias: the ones with large penises are still in private collections; the institutions get the smaller dicks.

i fail to see how the size of the phallus matters on art?

Maybe it was to show the contrast with the phallus size of the Gods and demigods?

A tad more?

A deleted thesis of mine without a fuckdamn explanado..??

I is stupifounded.


Anyhoo, I’d really love a reminder of that note, for my drunken state of poetic ramblance demands it.

To.. remember it and shit.

"Anyhoo, I’d really love a reminder of that note, for my drunken state of poetic ramblance demands it."

..To keep it as a backup jerk off material in case of tha prostration originating from beer begins to embezzle my natural urges ..

but fuck it; most likely I can get off from tranny pics on free6.com, too..

ahh... preaching to the choir, you know the drill, Dimvert.

And the cock was kept small, so that the cock would not draw too much attention.

Simple.
And a fact.

(it came up in my thesis.... too)
