Bro never seen a Roman statue, stand proud growers.

Don’t know how serious this was meant, but I just wanted to inform you that especially the Ancient Greek had another beauty standard thinking men with small penises were superior to larger ones as they thought of people with big ones as barbaric, dull and impulsive.

Prolly reminded them of little boys as well.

[–] cheddar@programming.dev 31 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You, you are the one who brought little boys into this conversation.

[–] Quik@infosec.pub 18 points 2 months ago

I understand the downvotes as the comment seems kind of inappropriate, but - as others pointed out - pederasty was really wide spread in Ancient Greece and people thought of boys not in puberty as "good-looking" in a romantic/sexual way, as fucking creepy and weird as we think that is today, so the comment is not entirely wrong: this is the same beauty standard that thought of boys as sexually attractive.

But people laugh at those statues and call them small dicked so I dont think men are seeing those and feeling secure.

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 48 points 2 months ago (2 children)

No one was telling these dudes they were small dicked to their face, I can promise this.

I'm not sure if it makes people happier to think they are being laughed at behind their back.

People... Who?? Are you hanging around museums listening to people commenting?

I think you've invented something to get upset about

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 6 points 2 months ago

I don't know what you gain from trying to make out like no one has this opinion but you're wrong. I've heard it everywhere from school to the internet to work. It doesn't bother me, I'm not lacking in self confidence. Im only pointing it out to the other commenter that he's comparing himself to statues that get roasted for having small dicks and acting if it's some own.

Have you ever been in a class where they showed those pics? Because there's certain % of people (men and women) who will absolutely sremoved about that shit

[–] boogetyboo@aussie.zone 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah probably in school. Children are children.

Well rounded adults don't spend their time obsessing over thee size of people's genitalia.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

If you don't think seeing the tiny peckers on those statues doesn't make a significant amount of people giggle then I just feel like you haven't spend enough time with enough people.
