      I did not expect the, ahem, instructional images under the “purpose” heading 😅

        I can’t help but think some guy’s realizing his weird fetish by showing his junk to unsuspecting people on the internet in the name of history education. The visualization is definetely helpful, as otherwise I wouldn’t be able to imagine this, but maybe a drawn image would have been more fitting.

          It’s wikipedia and it’s the human body - I don’t think that drawings can do it justice as a repository of information.

          I don’t see anything sexual with it. There’s also videos of proper fucking and creampies on some pages - I find those weirdly unsexual as well.

      Modesty and decency demanded that men who showed themselves naked in a public setting, such as athletes or actors, must conceal their glans.

      Naturally.

      Wh… Why… Why not just wear pants? I know it was ancient times, but didn’t they have something? Briefs, a diaper? Anything seems better than stripping your dick to your neck.

        Now we have elastics and stretchy fabric. I guess it was more difficult to have a firm and comfortable hold with loose fabric.

          I mean they have a string right there. Just loop that around over your hips to keep them up

        They were naked when practicing athletics. I don’t know if it was a cultural thing or an actual lack of good options for sportswear, but I’ll bet you can find out with 5 minutes of searching online. My bet is it was just a cultural thing.

          I guess, when you have to make all your own clothes from scratch by hand, the advantage becomes apparent. People without armor also fought naked in battles. Understandable if you need to handwash and mend your clothes.

          I mean can you imagine sweating into the same clothes you then need to wear to the Spartan assembly?

          Dude, I’m no prude. I have been known to be naked in public spaces. Just the idea, of tying a string to Your Johnson seems impractical. Either let it hang or cover it up with something comfortable.

        There are peoples in New Guinea where the men walk around with their penis attached to a cord tied around their waist. I had assumed the cord was tied to the head of their penis, but in fact the foreskin was tied around the cord. Hard to fathom for a circumcision victim like myself.

        We should definitely make this a thing …… but I seriously doubt it’s practical for running
