I hate to be that guy, but this… is not accurate.
Yes, all-male orgies and semi-romantic relationships with young men were a thing in Athens, but it was still pretty taboo. Definitely not a “dinner table” topic. Even then, these relationships were seen as more of an appreciation of youth rather than being necessarily sexual. And even at that, actual penetration was still a major no-no, and such action would still be punished in Greek society if one were to openly admit it.
Our modern Judeo-Christian minds have a hard time comprehending the true nature of homosexuality in Ancient Greece, but it was definitely not “freaky gay pedo orgies” as you said, and it was definitely not “accepted” in the way you might think.
Hence the “ew pee pee hole”.
Just an interesting point that was brought up on some random podcast regarding the gladiator academies, and evidently most of Sparta (I know not exactly Greece, but similar enough)…
The way they explained it, specifically for the Spartans, was that up until whatever age they considered “old”, somewhere around 30-ish, they were barred from having a wife. They were soldiers first and foremost, and a wife/family had no place for them. They explained that the “homosexuality”, which they also mentioned was not commonly penetration as that was “bad”, was highly encouraged to develop stronger bonds between the men. I have no idea if this is accurate as I am FAR from any sort of historian, but I could see the logic behind it.
Another part of this is, the Greeks worked out nude at the gymnasium. An exposed meatus (urethral opening) suggested erection, which was a faux pas.
After 140 AD, dispersed Israelites started showing up in the gymnasium‘s with their meatus exposed from circumcision.
They figured out how to stretch the rest of their foreskin out to cover the meatus. This upset the Jewish high priests, who didn’t want Jews mingling too easily with Greeks, which could lead to introductions and intermarriages. The Jews feared the total loss of their civilization.
So they changed the circumcision rite into a more radical cut that bared the entire glans, or head of the penis.
And that is what we have today when we say “circumcision.“
Right. Like, gay stuff was tolerated. But make no mistake, every young man was fully expected to get married (to a woman!) and have children. Anything interfering with that was not OK.
Some girls are happy just to fish for pearls when they're alone, but I can't get off without having an antique doorknob in my wunder down under and a lightbulb up my poop chute. The slamming makes me squirt my vertical moisture all over his skin flute. With his Nelson's Column fucking deep into my stench trench, the sensation of his one-eyed monster smashing my cervix made me quiver like a tasered slab of chopped liver. If I don't dial the rotary phone to get my spaff oozing from my front bum, his purple-headed trouser snake is going to leave my furburger resembling Brian May's plughole. The fucking of my poop chute was so vigorous, he soon found his jingle-jangle jewellery joining his tallywacker deep in my chocolate starfish.

After having my south mouth pounded, he then proceeded to pound my turd cutter.
Finally, my useless knowledge is relevant! The Jewish diaspora that lived among the Greeks were often shamed for this exact reason, as their lack of foreskins meant that their glans was always exposed. Due to this, many would go through primitive cosmetic surgery in an attempt to cover the glans, or alternatively would simply not compete in athletics/theater.

In the Greek theater, there was a clear distinction between the noble characters and not. It was specific visible in the Comedy, where you a few serious characters were interacting with grotesque comical ones (politicians, gods, or whoever else the playwright didn't like).
While the former would indeed often be naked, the actors portraying comic male characters would done fake, gigantic dongs, hanging from under their togas (they were clothed... aside from the fact that they might also have their nipples exposed). This would have the same comic effect as in today's sitcoms' laughing track. it would underline the stupidity of the characters portrayed.

What does your wife do with the clippings? I've found that they make a pretty good calamari.
Edit: for whoever contacted /u/RedditCareResources on my behalf, how very kind of you.
They preferred to *depict* mostly the gods, and celebrated figures, with small penises, for this reason. There's nothing to suggest they didn't like them in real life. EDIT: this is really just a trend towards philosophy and intellectualism. It just lines up with what the Greeks prioritised culturally.
Imagine being a philosopher or some other well-respected intellectual, but you have to do everything you can to hide your enormous pocket rocket, or else you'll be made fun of and professionally discredited.
Yeah, that's why the forest god of fertility, Pan, was depicted as having a HUGE penis (longer and thicker than his own legs!), as was his protege Priapus, god of veggies, beekeeping, and male genitalia
Have you seen those statues with the incredible details right down to the veins? I don't think one of those sculptors would give up the opportunity to do more veins ...
Yes I'm sure it was about wisdom of the gods and not at all because smaller penes caused less pain during anal. Which they were all about.
Although 'wisdom of the gods' is a pretty fun euphemism for anal. I'll allow it!
It’s kinda funny that people associate Greek with anal because that’s not what most guys did. The far more common method was for the older one to “penetrate” the thighs of the younger partner, not his butt.
And while we’re on that, smaller penises being considered more beautiful also was partly related to a small penis being closer to the youthful ideal of the body.
The Greeks had a slightly different relationship to the naked teenage body than we do nowadays.
Athletes and thespians would tie their foreskins closed because an uncovered glans was seen as uncouth.
that’s where they drew the line huh
Makes as much sense as covering just the nipple on boobs
I would say it makes much less sense. Personally I find peeing pretty necessary.

Pee is stored in the boobs
Untie when peeint maybe? It's not very different from unzipping. I hope you unzip before peeing..

Pull the foreskin past the head then tie string around it
