iirc large dicks were seen as brutish and savage by everyone, as if you had no control over your primal, animalistic urges and just wanted to fuck all the time. small pp = civilized.
And this is also why ‘black people have big dicks’ is a historical stereotype. Sure they have big dicks, like horses or cattle…
And it’s a weird thing where people now think it’s a ‘positive’ stereotype
I remember a Man U chant about a player having a big dick - anti-racism organisations called it out and the chanters were shocked. It’s a ‘positive’ thing, right?
there’s a conversation to have regarding reclaiming oppressive words and ideas, but it has to be driven by those being oppressed in order to really work and be felt by society as a whole as acceptable
It was also that men were seen as interacting intellectually and sexual desire was associated with women.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it was partly due to men not being very involved in the domestic world. Like it makes sense, so much of expectations on women even today revolves around children, so a stereotype that women are horny as fuck as well makes a certain sense to include there.
Though I’ll admit I’m thinking of Greece right now and this stereotype may have been one that didn’t spread to Rome.
The Greeks regarded big dicks as immoderate and therefore barbaric. The Romans, on the other hand, were more welcoming, though they seem to have still regarded them as comical. There are Roman statues of men with massive schwantzes. Greek sculpture depicted small winkies, unless they were showing satyrs or similar mythical monsters.

History is kinda weird and very racist

Iirc high libido was also seen as a feminine trait
I can see it. the underlying principle is control of oneself so anything that implies otherwise was faux pas/taboo

Ah, yes, the noted chastity and puritanism of the Roman elite…
people are corrupt. the Romans were no different in being hypocrites
