Well, as we all know, small dicks are a sign of intellect and sophistication, while big dicks are barbarous clubs that belong to uncivilised brutes.
Friction is important, though.
You probably know this, but for those reading who aren’t in the know, she’s describing a trope found in Ancient Greek art and in some Roman art.
It was said that a small penis was a sign of a man in control of himself and his desires, a cultured and intelligent person. Whereas big penises symbolized out of control sexuality; this is why mythical beasts like satyrs, known for being ruled and dominated by passions/desires were drawn with huge dongs. Interestingly, it’s speculated that to the Greeks, monsters like satyrs were allegories for foreigners. It’s an attitude that can be summed up as “we can’t trust those virile barbarians with their licentious values to be around us, especially our women”.
Because of their fascination with classic Greco-Roman art, renaissance artists would briefly revive this old trope. Namely, the small dick Michaelangelo gave to David.
