A woman has gone viral after revealing why Greek statues always have small penises.
TikTok creator Ruby Reign has brought everyone’s attention to the fact that most male Greek statues always have a package on the slightly smaller size - but hey, we're not judging.
Introducing the video, she said: “Have you ever wondered why so many of the ancient Greek statues have colossal muscular physiques and yet a tiny package?”

Well, it turns out she’s done some digging, and there is an entertaining reason they were designed like this.
While most attitudes these days seems to be the bigger the better - ancient Greece didn’t quite have the same outlook.

She said: “What I wasn't aware of was that the Greeks often presented their enemies, the Egyptians, the satire creatures, and even fools in comedies as having large appendages - so it was quite a negative thing to have, which is quite different today.

“So actually, what I discovered was that big D's bad and small D's good in ancient Greece. “But why was this? This is obviously different to today.”
There actually seems to be quite a simple reason behind why this is the case, and it’s all to do with perception.
She explained: “Turns out that in ancient Greece, having a smaller package was considered a sign of virtue, of civility, or self-control or discipline.
“Meanwhile, having a bigger one was a sign of lustfulness, of gluttonous appetites and barbarism, which is quite interesting because it's different to today.”

The video has reached almost four million views, and some people part of the small region community were absolutely thrilled.
One person commented: “Remember lads we were on top, now the Barbarians have taken over.”
Another said: “We definitely gotta return to our roots.”

A third added: “I was really born in the wrong generation.”
We could have predicted the comments from just a glance at the video.
But Ruby dug a little deeper, and suggested that this change in perception proves that beauty really isn’t an objective thing.
Finding a deeper meaning behind the revelation, she added: “I just think it's interesting to compare the perspective back then that smaller is better with the view today that, sometimes people think bigger is better.

“And it just goes to show that our beauty standards, our ideals, are all a social construct and we shouldn't get bogged down feeling bad about ourselves.”
Exactly. Love yours.
