In ancient Greek sculpture, there is a trend: all the stalwart heroes, handsome gods, and serious philosophers, the male organs are not big, they are flat, and they have few desires.
In the ancient Greeks, it was a virtue: that you were rational.
On the contrary, there are also some male organs with surging and majestic, sorry, most of them are not good people. Mostly Pan, orcs, outlaws, drunks, whatever.
In “The End of the World and the Grim Wonderland”, Haruki Murakami entertained a library girl for dinner. After eating, it was logical to go to the bedroom, but found that he couldn’t get up. At that time, he thought of the Greek saying: the organs that can’t get up seem to be more beautiful – of course, this does not comfort him.
The understanding of the Greeks is not without reason.
Ancient Greece was hot, and most of the citizens of the city-state wore little clothes. They were often naked on the sports field. Everyone could see each other regardless of their figure. At this time, if the organ appears to be extremely large and rude, it will also make people doubt the person’s self-control; if it looks extremely calm, it appears rational.
The ancient Greeks were very concerned about reason. They believed that reason was not only the difference between humans and animals, but also the difference between Greeks and barbarians. Aristotle admonished Alexander the Great: Treat the Greeks as friends, and the barbarians as beasts. So it’s much better to keep calm than to make a big splash at any time.
In Roman times, the fashion was reversed. As we all know, Roman aristocrats were more promiscuous than Greek citizens, and their personalities were more extroverted and martial, so in Rome, a man with a huge male size would be considered “exotic”, “with Egyptian blood”, and so on.
In Greek mythology, there is a god called Priapus, the god of reproduction, the son of Dionysus and Aphrodite, the protector of livestock, gardening, fruit trees, and bees. His male organs were enormous and permanently erect. This was considered bad in Greece: Hera cursed him that he would grow ugly organs, and that was it; but in Roman times, including in the frescoes of Pompeii, he was depicted as a great man So handsome.
This is probably the two tendencies of the West.
If you are rational, you will feel smaller and quieter; if you are more romantic, you will feel that a huge erection is also good. That’s it. The former will mock the latter, believing that the latter is not very human;
It is worth mentioning that the early Christians also felt that the size of men was very indecent, almost no different from mules and horses. In the case of donkeys and mules, China and the West are the same. In many erotic novels of the Ming Dynasty in China, lustful and greedy men compared themselves to donkeys.
Japanese spring painting researchers have an idea: In Japanese spring painting, most of the male organs are unreasonably large. Does this mean that the Japanese prefer this? Some painters’ notes in the 19th century emphasized that this was “to make the painting clear to the viewer”. Because there are two people in a spring painting, and the organs are not painted a little bigger, it is not clear what they are doing. This is an artistic exaggeration.
Another theory comes from a note by Tuoxi Zhai Yingquan, saying that it is all to blame for the predecessors: Japanese people buy spring paintings very much in the tradition. The Japanese valued traditions, and Xiao Guicao followed this.
Ancient India was relatively moderate in this regard. Nearly two thousand years ago, in the Gupta Dynasty, the “Yu Sutra” said dignifiedly: There is no so-called standard size. It is not about being big (like the Romans) or being rational (like the Greeks). Different sizes depend on different objects. It is very dialectical to say so, and it also respects women more.
To some extent, perceptions about organ size have always influenced aesthetics.
From Henry VIII to the beginning of the 18th century, Louis XIV was dressed in a gorgeous Baroque dress, with thick wigs, high heels, colorful, and a little decoration on the crotch, making him look “brother, I am extraordinarily strong.” In a later era, the earliest prototypes of suits in history were born in Britain, as well as tailors. Tailors have a saying in the industry, and many old shops are still there. You go to order and they will ask you succinctly:
“Left or right?”
– Then, depending on everyone’s habits, leave more fabric on the left or right crotch of the men’s crotch, so that men can wear pants that are less tight and less obtrusive.
——This is probably the difference between the classical era and the rational modern.
