I thought it was a thing at the time where small ones were considered attractive, because it was more boy-ish? Has anyone else read that?
Im completely serious btw.
It's not just that, there was also the advantage of it being harder for someone to chop off your dick. If your dick were to be chopped off, either you bleed out or you get most of that shit cauterized and hope sepsis doesn't take hold... so basically you'd just want to bleed out; maybe a spear in the noggin for mercy.
The small dick was representing intelligence and reason at that time. It was way more attractive to be caring about philosophy, arts and the big questions of life than being an everlasting bull in bed. Big dicks were seen to be a signal of animous behaviour and lust.

No pun intended
