Let us celebrate the last #PhallusThursday in #PrideMonth with one of my favourite #homoerotic art pieces. It's a vase painting depicting some kind of festive scenario that scholarship hasn't conclusively indentified, to my best knowledge. Two young men are enjoying the festivities especially intimately.
A jolly groupsex scene with various pairings for another #PrideMonth#PhallusThursday: two young men with a woman, two young men with each other, a mature man with a young man and a young man and a mature man with a mature or even old man. Love is love (or lust is lust).
Priapos isn't just a god of dicks, bees, and abundant orchards. He was also a patron god for navigators on the sea, of merchant sailors in #ancientGreece and Rome. Apotropaic items carried on board by mariners in the forms of a terracotta phallus and a wooden #Priapos figure were found in shipwrecks, coinciding with the use of wooden Priapic markers erected in areas of dangerous passage or particular landing areas for sailors.

There’s nothing quite like a Roman chariot race, but wait, have they replaced the horses with phalluses? And are those phalluses propelled by chicken (cock?) legs? Goodness!
