in greek & roman sculpture of the male figure why do they have such small penises??

Question

i know it's an odd question and all but i'm really curious about the reason

Answer 1

Apparently, it was a stylistic/aesthetic choice, at least for the Greeks. Larger genitalia was seen as worse, to put it simply. Get the details from the link.

May God bless you.

Answer 2

Well, for one thing, the classical sculptures are usually shown in a 'relaxed' state, when they're smaller anyway, as I'm quite sure you know!

Another thing - they really were usually considered more aesthetically pleasing the smaller they were. There was a really interesting book written about this once, called Greek Homosexuality sometime in the 1970s or 1980s by Dover, whose first name escapes me. I read it when I was doing my undergrad degree. If this sort of stuff interests you, you should definitely check it out.

Answer 3

You call them Small you lucky Person

Answer 4

Because you have been fed on lies and exaggerations. Thats about the size of it. They are expendable y'know (oops, I mean expandable)

Answer 5

because they all just got back from swimming in a cold lake.......shades of George Castanza!!!!
