I am suppose to take seriously an article that includes this sentence "With a high degree of probability, in the Hellenistic period of history, when almost all known sculptures were created, and this is the period from 323 BC to 31 AD, large penises did not exist in nature, and if they were, they were considered very rare."

You have GOT to be kidding me.

There are almost no words in that sentence that are correct.

Please do not believe every joke site you read on the internet.

Thanks for proving I provided a source that backs up my claims. Let’s see you do the same proving that the penis and brain link only started after the romans? Good luck ;-)

Do what you want, but it happened.

You remind me of the other guy yesterday denying Prigoshin was marching on Moscow because the west reported it.

Now you’re denying this event. I’m using my same sources that are reliable yesterday when I knew the march to moscow was real. And today I’m using those same sources saying it’s resolved (for now).

Can something else change it, yes...but for now it appears over.

Sorry Wrong thread.

Could be that a large marble penis would break off. ;-D

[EvilCapitalist]

Yes they did. When they spoke, their R’s sounded like W’s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrcbCW4y9Dw

standards lost at Karai by crosses

I believe its Carrhae and Crassus...AI...its GREAT!

Sure they had ethnic stereotypes...so did their enemies of them.

Really?

I think they would disagree with you...as anyone who has visited Pompeii can readily attest. Just a random site: https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/12/31/1728644/-Ancient-Rome-Erotic-Images-in-Pompeii

Biggus Dickus was not “ very rare”...
