          Yep, I can’t keep up the dudebro persona sufficiently to answer that.

          Is there some kind of phrenology for waist to hip ratio indicating specific breedability rofl?

          EDIT: Ok so

          https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5431669/

          Apparently actual science indicates the opposite of what the common sentiment seems to be.

          Average Number of Children goes up the higher the WHR ratio is, ie, more pronounced hips actually indicate lower numbers of children, all other factors accounted for.

          Three is the perfect amount. One son to inherit your property, another one in the case the first one dies, and one daughter to marry off when you need to make an alliance.

    Did you know that we have a surviving example of ancient Egyptian porn? Look up the Turin papyrus. (NSFW, obviously.)

        I assume it’s symbolic. Hierarchical proportion is common in Egyptian art, so maybe the size represents the man’s extraordinary virility and sexual prowess.

        Either that or the artist was into huge cocks.

          that’s interesting, thank you. It could also symbolize how many pain receptors there are hense it feeling more important/sensitive. Though its probs just huge cock theory
