All the pictures i posted were from the roman period though.
Here's another one :
I still can't put the original links or my message will be blocked and i don't know why...
So clearly, the porn industry never invented the "stereotype", but simply contribute to perpetuate it today.
Rome it a little later but Nice art. I didn’t mention porn to be fair, and whilst I agree with you, I think porn, from the 1960s onwards, probably even earlier, has been the main player in contributing to the stereotype, whether it’s true or not, and certainly over estimating actual penis size in general. As most LPSG members and the general population where Born within this period, as opposed to ancient times.
And most of the working class/lower class families of this Time wouldn’t have come across this art for the most part. Especially in more consertive times with regards to nudity. So it wouldn’t have necessarily added to there opinions or perceptions. Even with regards to interracial marriage, which wasn’t as common back then .
In terms of Penis size, and visuals, and porn, it’s the only time we have documented dicks on camera or photography . Even if you don’t know how big they are, you have a gist of size. And it’s actual people, as opposed to statues, paintings, drawings, carvings etc
Art, as beautiful as it is, is a little bit further off in terms of actual proof, dimensions and releastic accuracy. It’s “ancient” so that makes sense. Even if there could be an element of truth to it. I’m not against that per se if it’s based in fact. Or penile studies, which I’m sure will get more accurate over time. Whatever worldly stereotype we push. And there are lots of them!
