In the 9th grade, I asked my Health Class teacher during the Sex Ed lessons why most species have a mating period where females are 'in season' , but not women. The females in class lost it. I thought it has scientific merit, personally. Later, she too me aside & said "The entire month after Valentines, sweetie.

I took an absurd amount of art history classes in college when pursuing my art degree… Would you believe that not once was this covered in any of my classes?! Thanks for doing what my college professors failed on doing. :)
It's too mature of a subject for the average college boy. I can imagine being a professor trying to cover this topic and the entire class being disrupted constantly with juvenile comments and having to try to maintain control - not a pleasant experience for the professor or any serious students who might be genuinely interested in the subject matter.
Interesting to point out that the community college in South Florida will cover why nudes are painted in certain ways, both male and female nudes. It was important to cover all aspects of art and its historical significance and meaning. The higher level universities like UM and FIU don't do this. But those so-called lower level colleges do. 🤷🤔 Goes to show money means nothing if you've got awesome professors who truly love their jobs and take you for that ride to seeing what makes their profession so amazing. Such fun loving professors will show you everything and anything, especially if you ask... you ask, they shall deliver.
@@richardowens9061 I disagree with you completely on your reasoning. I took many life drawing classes, and we were very mature about it in community college and university when doing so. And of course I was taking these classes at the same time I was taking my art history courses.
Heck, these days the topic would be banned anyway, especially if the college received any state funding! Now I'm wondering if the related books are banned in jr/high schools as well? My aunt was an artist, and I remember seeing her life drawing sketchbook when I was about 8. I asked why all the people were chubby and naked, and she said skinny, clothed people weren't challenging and didn't have enough depth and shading to practice with... lol I also grew up going to a ton of museums and a houseful of art books, so seeing nudity in that context was normal for me.
@@salimel4835 Of corse they sculpted perfect bodies.. that’s a clue that the physical form was still very important to them , vitality & strength yes but emphasis on the genitals no. Seems they were purposely making that contrast
They actually believed the smaller the penis, the smarter you were. It's an interesting analogy and wonder if they encountered certain people with large penises, who were not very bright
My favorite part of this whole video is the multiple synonyms for genitalium. I imagine the writers sitting together going “OK how many different ways can we say penis without actually saying penis?” Edit: “genitalium” was an auto-correct mistake that I didn’t catch. I’m keeping it in the post because SOME people seem to think that it is the singular form of genitalia, which it isn’t. It’s a technical term for a disease that affects the genitalia. “Genitalia” is both singular and plural. So everyone in the comments “correcting” my mistake are also incorrect. Suck it.
I recall an office water cooler conversation back in the 70s on the then-recent novelty of nude male magazine centerfolds. "They couldn't fit all of what I have onto a 3-page pullout," bragged one co-worker. "Are you kidding?" scoffed another. "What you have would be covered up by the staple." I laughed so hard I nearly spit out my mouthful of coffee.
Let's be honest, a reason could be that the artist wanted you to focus on the rest of the sculpture and not be stuck on the "crown jewels". "Nothing to see here, look around and admire the rest of the art"
I always thought that the reason for the male sex organs being an actually realistic size on most classical sculptures, was because seeing others nude was very common in those times. The artists, and those that commissioned or displayed the art with nude males knew the average size of male sex organs, and wanted realism in their art. The classic sculptures are still some of the most realistic depictions of good looking male bodies ever created. Over sized genitals would have ruined the art. It would not have been realistic.
I'm reminded the of the NASA problem with IIRC the opening for space suit's urinal system. Astronauts were asked whether they wanted small medium or large sizes for thier suit, and *everyone* answered large. They had to change the system to large, huge or ginormous due to improper fittings. XD
I worked in health care as an RN for a while and I never thought the ancient art was that off from modern man. I have seen more than most people have so I have more of a hands on experience to judge by. The ones seen in my personal life were often always bigger unless it was a cold day, but in general most men's junk are as tiny today as back then when non erect.
Well , I've had to have an ultrasound on a testicle before . Trust me , our junk shrinks a lot when anything medical is being done. In fact it sometimes wants to disappear up inside us. Especially in a cold room.
Few reasons for all of the size queens, lustful people with no brains and other idiots: 1. Bigger penises would be distraction in the art and whole focus would be ruined. The whole emphasis would be on the penis and not the perfectly symmetrical body. 2. Although they appear small, statues had actually average flaccid penises by today's standards but they appear small because of they were sculptured as tall, strong men. 3. There's a thing called being a grower and have a small flaccid size which grows exponentially while erect. 4. Big genitalia would be prone to breaking on a sculpture like it happened with multiple sculptures with big noses. 5. Greeks compared big penises with lustfulness and irrationality and beastfulness. While small penises were compared with a peace of mind, rationality and gratefulness. While it makes sense since high levels of testosterone can increase your erection and make u irrational and more prone to aggression and negative emotions, small non erect penises are linked with lower levels if testosterone therefore more rational thinking. In ancient Greece it wasn't about size. It was about erect/non-erect penises. Is it mostly because of feminism, porn and modern society why big penises are overly glorified in a modern society.

@@drewg4323 So, this is where I am really confused... Since all the censored parts of the video are artistic depictions, just like the non-censored ones, what was the criterion for the creators to decide what to censor in the first place? If there were trying to avoid the gray zone in the rules, it would make sense to censor everything, wouldn't it? In any case, I find it absolutely scandalous that UA-cam would impose such rules on the entire world and we would just take it silently. I wonder what measures -- legal and otherwise -- can be taken to get Google to drop such outrageous neo-Victorian restrictions and let people express themselves freely. If the concern is to prevent the spread of pornography on the platform, it would be enough to draw the line at erotic intent. There is absolutely no need to go further and outlaw nudity entirely, under pain of demonetization. The other possibility would be to let advertisers, rather than UA-cam, choose which content they want to disassociate themselves from.
I always thought (surmising through a modern perspective) that the ancient statues were always given little dangly bits, so as not to make any men gazing at them feel inadequate with the size of their own.
"It's not the size of your brush, it's the painting technique!" -The Artist "Oh... then you won't want this giant brush over here. I'll just toss that ou..." -The Housepainter "Wait wait wait wait..." -The Artist's wife.
When I and other classmates of mine asked this very question to my teacher of art history in high school, this was her answer: to artists of Ancient Greece self-control was an integral part of beauty, so the depiction of a tiny penis was a symbol of self-control from lust; later on artists of the Renaissance adhered to this ideal of beauty, too.
As a large man with modest average genitalia I have found that one should not focus on size but attentiveness and skill and being a generous lover to your partner after all you get what you are born with and I have always thought that surgical augmentation was unnatural save for reconstruction purposes.
Despite rumors, larger genitalia is not preferred by women. The average length of a vagina is 6 inches, so anything larger is painful. Unless the woman has an abnormally long canal. Girth is more important and even that can be painful. Technique os the key and yes attentiveness to your partner is vital!
I grew up around such statues in Europe and figured it was partly “at rest” and also uncircumcised looks different too. Never bothered me. But lots of fun info in this episode
Funny how it bothered you so much, you had to point out it never bothered you. I never thought about being bothered or not while looking at classical art, until you brought it up. It's not something that bothers most people, no matter where they live, though intelligent people will have wondered _why_ the size is a bit smaller than normal. Oh! You've never seen real ones... Okay, now I see why you're bothered.
I know I am not the man I once was, Now I am Obsolete and I live my life that way. Why would I hold it against a Woman for wanting the (Bigger Better Deal) ... Lets be honest having a small dick is about as desirable as a flat tire or a broken window ! : (
@@matthewnelson325 Honestly bro. 5 inches is all you need. Not every girl needs a Lambo to go around, sometimes an Altima is just enough. If you catch my drift.
@@DragonRyuken777 Some times all you need is three tires, cause you can just limp that car along and, and, and you can just do the O'L limp-a-long cause some times thats all yu need ! " If you catch my drift."
I always assumed its because extremities on sculptures tend to arrode or fall off. So sculptors learned to scupled in a way to prevent this. I heard this is where the "roman nose" came from.
I'm just glad I wasn't mutilated when I was a baby! Perhaps being 2nd generation Italian to North America helped with not going along with their traditions.
Varying sizes have varying strengths and weaknesses. I knew about the giant members of the satyrs in satyr plays but didn't realize they were depicting a wild or animalistic male. All interesting.
my dad had encyclopedias and when there's storms/general boredom i used to look through them... always wondered if they actually looked like that irl (as a kid)

Funny how it bothered you so much, you had to point out it never bothered you. I never thought about being bothered or not while looking at classical art, until you brought it up. It's not something that bothers most people, no matter where they live, though intelligent people will have wondered _why_ the size is a bit smaller than normal. Oh! You've never seen real ones... Okay, now I see why you're bothered.
This is the most enthusiastic I have ever heard you narrate before.
I will admit I’ve always wondered why the artists weren’t “a tiny bit” nicer to their sculptures in that area. No pun intended 😩😂
Growers were vast even back in the day😌
I'd thought it was because they didn't want to hear "why aren't you packing like that statue?" all the time.
I know I am not the man I once was, Now I am Obsolete and I live my life that way. Why would I hold it against a Woman for wanting the (Bigger Better Deal) ... Lets be honest having a small dick is about as desirable as a flat tire or a broken window ! : (
@@matthewnelson325 Honestly bro. 5 inches is all you need. Not every girl needs a Lambo to go around, sometimes an Altima is just enough. If you catch my drift.
@@DragonRyuken777 Some times all you need is three tires, cause you can just limp that car along and, and, and you can just do the O'L limp-a-long cause some times thats all yu need ! " If you catch my drift."
OMG I’ve wondered about this since I was 7 and my mom first took me to the art museum! Bless you!
This is the best channel on the internet
I always assumed its because extremities on sculptures tend to arrode or fall off. So sculptors learned to scupled in a way to prevent this. I heard this is where the "roman nose" came from.
Ancient Greek saw them as a sign of intelligence.
I won't see the phrase "me, an intellectual" the same way again.
Sliding down the wall laughing!
Then stuffed Grape Leaves were created and ravished!
stuffed grape leaves known as SARMALE are a f*c*ing delicacy
especially in ROMAnia :)
I'm absolutely dying at just how many euphemisms are here.
*talks about modern companies preying on men's insecurities
*advertises online bald medicine peddlers
Thanks for this. So well put together and absolutely hilarious. Having a bad time at the moment and this made me laugh out loud. 😂🙏👌
-“You’re so ugly you could be a modern art masterpiece!”
-“Err, thank you! Ummm, ye…you really think so?..” 😂
Oh Austin, show the class!
I didn’t realise there were this many ways to name ones “gherkins”. And the pic of the muppet was classic 👌
the Joe Rogan head make me fucking laugh so hard.
Beaker 😂
Who is the narrator for Weird History? This guy is the best. I can’t even watch the older ones without him.
I giggled way more through this than I expected that I would
This was a hilarious episode!
Good to know I would be have been considered a genius mastermind back then
This means I can rule Greece one day, hehe...
Same
I'm just glad I wasn't mutilated when I was a baby! Perhaps being 2nd generation Italian to North America helped with not going along with their traditions.
I giggled so much when the narrator said,"Sounds like an O.Henry story." 😁
Varying sizes have varying strengths and weaknesses. I knew about the giant members of the satyrs in satyr plays but didn't realize they were depicting a wild or animalistic male. All interesting.
The ONE channel that to puts to rest all of my curiosities. I thank ye.
This is my most favorite topic in Weird History. Love that junk
I've always wondered the same thing! Thanks for doing a video about it🤘💙🤣
I love this narrator/writer so much lmao
Yeah I feel like I've heard him somewhere before? I forgot which show 🤔
@@nosveratu7140 The narrator sounds similar to that of the 'Soccer Stories- Oh My Goal' channel.
Perhaps men of ancient Greece were like shy gardeners. Growers, not showers. LOL
Love your show! You show things people think about but no one else addresses! Bravo!
🤣🤣🤣 I have always wondered this, never in a million years would have thought to ask! Thank you 😊
Hey Michelangelo's David was a grower not a shower.
🤣😂🤣
You make learning fun ! Great series 👏 Thank you for sharing them 😀 👍
this is something i have been wanting to know specifically for the past several weeks and it just happens to come on my feed. bless the algorithm
Interesting, that modern thoughts and ideals are almost the complete opposite of historical ones.
I thought that too and wondered at what point in history did it change, and why?
@@kyliepechler when the computer came out stuff started changing.
The euphemism’s kept me watching. 🤣
my dad had encyclopedias and when there's storms/general boredom i used to look through them... always wondered if they actually looked like that irl (as a kid)
Well, that parting line was probably the classiest way I’ve ever seen someone ask whether or not someone is a size queen.
Thank you so much for this informative video!! It will really help me on my Art Appreciation subject.
Anyway, I would also like to hear more about Vincent Van Gogh's life and art 🥺❤
1:10 This clip is one the best Australian TV ads of all time
Thank you for using the floating Rogan head lol…and these guys are growers, not showers so give them a break 😁
If they only averaged 5.16" I'd say they weren't growers or showers. lol
I am imagining this guy sitting around with a few friends at a party, trying to come up with a list of different names for man parts. Hilarious!
The Rogan at 03:02 nearly caused me to lose my breakfast. Hilarious!
I used to pride myself on my level of intelligence and maturity…..then I watched this video and just could not stop laughing 🤣 🙌🏼
