I guess that even in the days of the Greeks there came a time for not over doing penis size. I reckon that we have come this far on a small penis size we well keep on going.

In Ancient Greece youth was considered the ultimate form of beauty, hence the small penises on Greek statues and sculptures.

“A circumcised penis was particularly gross.”
…and still is, what a barbarous thing to do to such a naturally attractive part of the anatomy.

“A circumcised penis was particularly gross.”
I find that statement a sign of total ignorance about the subject. Why? Try 3rd grade logic: pull back the foreskin and, voila! The look of a circumsized penis! So, if you enjoy the glans from an uncircumcized penis, what’s the fucking difference in looks (assuming the “scars” of the light surgery are not hideous as well)?
The “uncut” camp really takes the “looks” of the penis to the extreme with statements like that.
And, for the record, I don’t approve of circumcision for any of the usual reasons: religions. But if it’s really necessary for medical reasons, then I’m fine with it.

Circumcised penises are generally very rough, dry and have thicker skin and less sensitive heads due to constant friction and the lack of protection of the (very necessary) foreskin. Also, circumcision is not a “light surgery” and can cause scars, bend-age, pain upon erection, erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. On top of this, due to the foreskin containing 10000-20000 nerve endings circumcised penises have approx. 75% less sensitivity than intact penises.
Pulling back a foreskin does not give the same appearance as circumcision and it has been found that the skin (when pulled back) acts as a cushion during intercourse. The skin also allows lots of movement which increases the ability to masturbate, receive handjobs and oral sex.
I do not find the look of a circumcised penis “gross”, I find circumcision itself gross. It is a disgusting and abhorrent practice based on flawed medical science.

“The Greek Ideal –
The Greek Genius for combining order with emotion found expression in their way of life, from their politics to their art. Even their vases show an ideal blend of form and feeling. This balance has been regarded as an ideal ever since, and is known as “the Greek ideal”, but no subsequent society has succeeded in achieving it.

This stature is not really Greek at all. It was made in the 1800s by Hiram Powers, a famous American sculptor. It is in the “neo-classical” style that was popular then. The particular genre, statues of youths, were known as “Apollinos” (little Apollos).

OH YES……
This sculpture is completely bland. It’s something you would pick up in a garden center for 50 bucks to decorate that blank spot at the bottom of the lawn.
The real thing from ancient Greece or Rome just knocks your socks off.

Hi!
These sculptures in similar style are made in the end of the 19th century:
Adolf von Hildebrand – Wikipedia
search for “Hirtenknabe” (boy shepherd)

Hygieia-Brunnen (Karlsruhe) – Wikipedia

I guess that such detailed scultpures couldn’t be created nowadays because of this child molesting hysteria.

THERE! Just finished assembling my new Radio Shack Archer Kit Time Machine. I’m going back to ancient Greece where I’ll open a home-shelter for well hung boys who have been shunned as ‘grotesque.’ After all, it’s the least I can do. See ya in a couple thousand years.

If you ever see these statues in person you do wonder just how much time and “pleasure” the artists took with their models when sculpting, as the penis usually seems to have slightly more time and care taken on it than the rest of the body.
Take this sculpture of Eros: http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcijb9IpSQ1rusbsx.jpg up close the penis is the most detailed part of the statue.
