The historian Thierry Eloi also teaches us that in ancient Rome, men would insult each other by calling them "big dicks" (and it was really not nice). This discrimination even affected Greek theater: in performances, the actor playing the role of the fool was always equipped with an oversized phallus.
We can find this hatred towards large penises even in mythology: if the god Priapus had to endure mockery from other deities and was brutally excluded from Mount Olympus, it was because he was cursed to be permanently erect! As a result, sculptors, tasked with representing men and gods at their best, systematically minimized their equipment as much as possible. In situations like this, we understand that fashion isn't always a continuous cycle after all.
