Our community awaits with legs open and lips parted 🤤 www.patreon.com/historicalhomos Why oh why are men so obsessed with our penises? Join us today as we embark on a dick-scented odyssey to answer one of the 21st century's most urgent questions. 5,000 years ago, the Mesopotamians said their gods' divine jizz created the world. The Egyptians agreed, worshipping the power of giant, divine cocks. Which is also why they cut their enemies' dicks off after a battle to present to Pharaoh. The Greeks then argued for a tiny, cropped penis...which is a lot BETTER for procreation, actually, thank you Aristotle for saying that! The Romans made everything about horse cocks and sexual domination. Shocker. And the Christians – well, the Christians would prefer you stop talking such FILTH, you disgusting sinner! It's been a distressingly complex couple of millennia for humanity, full of all this penis pandemonium. We've sent shuttles to the moon, but we still can't figure out our own shafts. Is the dick really divine? Or is the penis a spiritual problem? Will we ever master our members? Or do we have to accept that our schlongs belong to another side of ourselves? Join Bash and his brilliant, hilarious guest – author and playwright R. Eric Thomas ( https://rericthomas.com ) – as they try desperately to answer all these penile questions. Now, come on in! The water is... human temperature. 🎧 Listen now on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, or wherever you pod.
