I've heard before that the generous bulges of this era have something to do with knights having rampant syphilis and needing more room to breathe.
Isn't history neat?
Or they just had them made large so that their descendants think they were more endowed than they really were. Like paying an artist to make your portrait prettier
When did people start thinking big wangs were cool? Cuz I've seen some ancient Roman and Greek stuff that had the opposite view of large genitals with sentiments like "a man with a big penis is only good at having sex, and having sex is basically useless."
They would also stuff it with herbs to help alleviate the pain and catch anything that might cause stains.
