But interestingly in Ancient Greece, a big penis symbolized something entirely different.
The experts said that a small penis was preferred, and that big ones were looked down upon.
In addition, big penises meant that a person was an idiot, and that same person has the tendency to give in to animalistic behaviors.
Greek art also depicts big penises as being linked to animals that prioritize lust more than anything else.
Satyrs, which were mythical creatures that have the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse, were illustrated with big penises. Satyrs were also associated with not being disciplined. “The poster boys for losing self-control.”
Penises were usually seen on Greek statues, where men were naked and had their packages exposed.
Ancient Greek associated small penises with modesty and self-control.
Egyptians, along with Romans, were also fascinated with small penises.
But in today’s society, it is the opposite. Having a big penis is somewhat preferred because of the influence of pornography and the erotic Renaissance period.
Art historian Ellen Oredsson said that the love for small penises might make a comeback.
