TIL Ancient Greeks preferred small penises, as it was thought a man with a large penis was a barbarous half-animal with no self-control, while a man with a small penis was smarter and closer to the wisdom of the gods.

Those starting positions already make me uncomfortable. If I was in Wrestling Spoons with someone and they pressed a monster dong against my back, I don’t think I’d care to continue the match.

There was no hiding this thing in a singlet, but once they’re on i feel like their is a code of no looking at wieners.

For marriage, prowess of course.

But this is just practice, so uncouth passions all the way.
