Greco-Roman D*ck PicsWhat do I have in common with the sophisticated, cultured, ancient Roman and Grecian / Hellenic societies? An appreciation for D*ck! The ancient Greeks had a profound homo-erotic culture, including their art and tools (get the pun?!) The Romans used phalli -- which just a $5 academic word for d8cks) -- for good luck charms, for curses, for sexual enhancement, and also for graffiti, because then as now, d*cks are hilarious. This penile rock carving was done by soldiers on Hadrian's Wall between England and Scotland. It was likely a kind of middle-finger aimed at the Picts, whom the Romans were fighting. The whanger on the left is believed to be a dildo, again Roman, found in the British Isles. My theory is the Romans were rather sub-par in the endowment area, so to match up with the Celtic men whom they were replacing as husbands, , they had to build something a little bigger, to satisfy their British wives... The Dong on the right is from the Roman collection in our own University of Michigan Archeology Dept. in Ann Arbor, Michigan. That's right, an authentic Roman D*ck is only a short drive away. Get it? A "short drive"? hahaha |
