If you have male genitalia, at least wear a kynodesmē (NSFW educational link) to stop your junk from flapping.
I did not expect the, ahem, instructional images under the “purpose” heading 😅
oh, sorry, I just added a warning.
Haha, no worries! Just caught me off guard
Looks like a trussed up chicken
I can’t help but think some guy’s realizing his weird fetish by showing his junk to unsuspecting people on the internet in the name of history education. The visualization is definetely helpful, as otherwise I wouldn’t be able to imagine this, but maybe a drawn image would have been more fitting.
I... Don't know why I went back, but I had to see it for myself. That was... Interesting
It's wikipedia and it's the human body - I don't think that drawings can do it justice as a repository of information.
I don't see anything sexual with it. There's also videos of proper fucking and creampies on some pages - I find those weirdly unsexual as well.
I need links for... research
Naturally.
New word learned
Kynodesmē Senpai!!!
(Sorry...)
Wh... Why... Why not just wear pants? I know it was ancient times, but didn't they have something? Briefs, a diaper? Anything seems better than stripping your dick to your neck.
Now we have elastics and stretchy fabric. I guess it was more difficult to have a firm and comfortable hold with loose fabric.
I mean they have a string right there. Just loop that around over your hips to keep them up
Nah bro it’s better to lynch your dick for several hours while doing intense athletics. Trust me bro.
Rofl but I think you're onto something. It had to be either a kink or aesthetic thing.
The smell 🫠
Letting out your kynodesmē after a long sunny day of wrestling with the boys. 😩
They were naked when practicing athletics. I don't know if it was a cultural thing or an actual lack of good options for sportswear, but I'll bet you can find out with 5 minutes of searching online. My bet is it was just a cultural thing.
I guess, when you have to make all your own clothes from scratch by hand, the advantage becomes apparent. People without armor also fought naked in battles. Understandable if you need to handwash and mend your clothes.
I mean can you imagine sweating into the same clothes you then need to wear to the Spartan assembly?
Ancient Greeks placed great value on a fit body, I imagine that's at least part of the reason why.
I love the thought of all the original Olympians wearing diapers.
Because not everyone is prude and scared of the human body.
Dude, I'm no prude. I have been known to be naked in public spaces. Just the idea, of tying a string to Your Johnson seems impractical. Either let it hang or cover it up with something comfortable.
foreskin is clothes i guess
There are peoples in New Guinea where the men walk around with their penis attached to a cord tied around their waist. I had assumed the cord was tied to the head of their penis, but in fact the foreskin was tied around the cord. Hard to fathom for a circumcision victim like myself.
I'm a koteka guy, myself
We should definitely make this a thing ….. but I seriously doubt it’s practical for running
Just secure the tip D:
one time i went to a park with a guy wearing a skirt and no panties, we improvised one of these (tied to his stocking)
