Famous Roman Painting of Priapus May Include Painful Penis Condition
In DepthUh-oh, it looks like not even gods of sex and virility can avoid problems in their dick game. New research speculates that a famous Pompeiian painting of Priapus depicts the deity not just packing a huge cock, but also strutting around with a painful and embarrassing medical condition.
Discovery has delved deep into issue, speaking to M.D. Francesco Maria Galassi, author of the recent paper. He speculates that the god in the fresco may be suffering from phimosis, an inability to retract the foreskin. Not only that, but he believes that Priapus’ phimosis (say that ten times fast) is of the highest grade, with his penis being shut all the way.
