    Something that I always wonder about these sorts of things. Was it supposed to be amusing, or erotic? This one is so detailed I lean pretty heavily toward the idea that it’s porn, but I could easily see it being “haha look at this funny statue, it’s got dicks on it”

      You tell your friends that you just have it because you think it’s funny but it really is porn.

      i think this commemorates the moment when these two famous heroes invented homosexuality. just look at the smug joy on their faces. they know they’re gonna be the giants on whose shoulders future generations stand.

      Maybe it was educational? Like, an example of the sorta position you gotta get into to fuck thing.

        I thought about that possibility too! That would be another good reason for it to be so detailed.

      I feel like it’s pretty culturally specific to even think of this as being funny in the first place, or as having the potential to be funny. I doubt whether many ancient cultures thought there was anything funny about genitals, or asses, or nudity, etc.
