Minge and giant willies
Sooo - returned from Florence this week. Was looking through the pics last night and the highlights as I remember them are as follows...

Willies!!! On lots of statues. And pubes. And very well sculpted hairy nuts.

There was also a statue which was hung like a donkey. Couldn't keep my eyes off it.

Minge!!! We found girlie statues that had, not just the Ken-esque bump, but a whole carved minge crack. (which the fella then decided to tell me the sculptor would have been rubbing... you see where that goes)

AND satyr willies - oh dear lord. Apparently it wasn't the done thing to do men with hard ons in those days, but satyrs (top half men, bottom half goat) were fair game. So there would be these naked men running away from creatures with ginormous hard ons.

And a painting of some female saint who had her boobs cut off when she was martyred - it shows this woman with two men holdng giant clamps on her nipples (edit - just before they pulled them off, presumably). That one freaked me out a little.... urghhhhh.


Anyone else got any totally inappropriate highlights from visiting places of art and beauty?

I might take a little trip to Florence myself.

Is there a law against raping statues?

Oh...
That one was more of a 3d mural thing.

But I would've done David. He was rather beautiful. And his pubes were very neat indeed.

But his stone willy may have been a bit too much for me, what with him being about 14' tall.

The good thing about stone is
that the more you rub it, the smaller and smoother it becomes.

It might take you a while, but you should go for it.

I always thought
that these stone statues had really tiny willies. Didn't know that some of them were well hung.

I knew they had stone pubes though.

The Penis in Classical Sculpture by Monty Boyce
Most do indeed have small penii.

The thing about that is that, with Ancient Greek sculpture in particular (and thus by default also Roman, being as it was for the most part simply copies of existing Athenian sculpture) the forms depicted were intended to represent the ideal male form.

This presents two different but equally valid propositions:

1) The Greeks liked small cocks - the smaller, the better - their ideal man was hung like a dormouse, or
2) They wished they could have cocks the size of those depicted in their art. Put another way, real Ancient Greeks had penises so microscopically miniscule that the laughably-small members on their statues seemed enviably large.

In seriousness, I think it has something to do with the Greek obsession with old man/young boy bumsexuality - the idea of youth being perfection and some kind of warped idea of purity.

The filthy old benders.
