Doesn't look that tiny to me. What are you, Stairs - a size queen? Tut tut!
Besides, wasn't it the idea with a lot of sculpture to examine the whole physique, and the genitals were made smaller so that they wouldn't 'get in the way' of revealing the beautiful contours of the body? Think of David! (Erm, the statue...)
It's funny how with a statue like this or the one of 'David' people concentrate on the smallest details and not the statue as a whole. After they've seen it they don't mention how big Davids hands are, just how small his cock was. He was 'The Boy David' after all.
They do say "from little acorns do mighty oaks grow".
Well they would wouldn't they.

knowing alastair for a year entitles me to a couple of observations: his personality won't allow for him to be a size queen let alone care about penis size (if anything his view of whats tiny is affected by what he knows... seeing him at a public pool in wet swimming trunks was humbling. sorry kiddo, but its true). second is his sense of humor. its just as dry as brits are supposed to be and given his eye for beutiful things in art and nature i think he posted this because its what he noticed after everything else...so no need for the last guy to take the high ground for the rest of the readers. and it is a tinny penis.
Djhinn/Sin: Thank you for rhyming. And probably. That or the model was very cold. Motion of the ocean :-D
David: Truth be known, one of the chaps I dated way back when did have a bit of a piccolo -- well, more like a twiglet really -- and I have to say that he was no better or worse than some of the others. I'm afraid that my total experience in thirteen years of being out barely scrapes into the double digits (though there was a very representative spectrum on the size front), but I can truthfully say that it was the person behind the instrument that made it or broke it for me. So, no, not really a size king, but if it please you, then imagine away.
You're right about the technique, and this piece was just exquisitely crafted; as with much of the sculptural work you come across on the continent, he was crafted impeccably [small - just kidding!], and was a sight to behold. He is pictured for you in his near entirety below. I do have a shot of his back as well, but his rock hard buttocks may cause you to swoon and I cannot allow myself to be held accountable for any accidents.
Ryan: Whoah, imagery overload.
Terreus: Take my word for it, I certainly noticed the rest, but there are so many beautiful things around us that sometimes, well, one really does have to concentrate on the delightfully trivial!
Dan: He didn't mean it that way, I'm certain of it. Thanks for standing up for me, but i) it's not necessary; most people who read this haven't the least idea of who I am or what I'm really like, nor do I expect them to ii) any defence that refers to the size of my penis, whether flattering or otherwise, is unwelcome (my penis will not be used to fight battles) iii) I wear a codpiece under my swimming trunks iv) I had its size greatly reduced after you left for America to safeguard my brain from oxygen starvation, thereby rendering your reference invalid v) I have no sense of humour whatsoever.
Ale: I can send you a picture of his buttocks if you need to suffer some more.
Yo Stairs, I so-ooo should have added a winking smiley after the 'Tut tut', which was of course meant in jest! I certainly wouldn't expect there to be any such superficiality, or disregarding of personality, in your good self.
Seeing the whole statue does change the proportions somewhat, I have to add! It gives a very different impression than just the original photo of his dick alone.
maybe he was a grower not a shower ;)

Stairs, maybe he's a grower, not a show-er.
Whoops. I totally didn't see that comment up top, and wound up replicating it. *embarrassment*
But Stairs, it's not the size of the boat, it's the motion of the ocean.
Oh shut up. It's the best I could come up with, all flustered as I am. ;)
It might not reach the back, but will sure bang up the sides.

An observation of people in general and of the comments heard about a different statue, not taking the high ground at all.
Ow! My eyes! My poor eyes!

Hey it's not the size that counts but what you can do with it...
Actually, there's an interesting article about the size of genitalia in sculptures. Shrinkage and pre-fight and all that.
You have to love the Discovery channel (and the internet).
And umm... don't ask.

Obviously he had a grower, not a shower.
k
And it's been so quiet around here lately. You seem to have aroused the crowd, Alastair ;P
"A grower not a shower" that is a new phrase for me, I am more familiar with "a shrinker not a dangler"
