It's because having a big dick back then was associated with being stupid, so it wasn't something people wanted.

In Ancient Greece maybe, was this still the opinion during the Renaissance?

[–] DrCake@lemmy.world 65 points 10 months ago

I think because they looked to Roman and Ancient Grecian art as the “ideal” therefore copying those ideas and attitudes in their own works.

David was a grower, it's his whole thing.

[–] Sky@reddthat.com 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This was a sculpture of David going to fight Goliath, and so it was small because he was scared. At least, that's what I've always heard.

It was because back then they thought the bigger the dick you had, the stupider you were.
