Might be a stupid question, but imma ask anyway. I’ve seen a lot of statues like these in museums and the Louvre. Why do y’all think they all made the peckers so small? Was it for modesty?

Depending on the era, a small penis was seen as more civilized / refined. A generously endowed statue might have been regarded as bestial. That’s the long and the short of it, at least according to my Intro to Art History class from many years ago.
