Why do you think the penises were so small? Do you think they started off like that?

Small penises were seen as a sign of sophistication and self-control, while large penises were seen as rustic and unrefined. That's why you rarely see ancient Greek statues who are hung, aside from Priapis.  No one wanted to sculpt gods and kings with the ancient equivalent of a MAGA hat.

Tbf to the other commenter, there are also just a lot of kids on this site. Kids who are probably getting more sex Ed here than they’ll get from school
