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

[-] errer@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

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.

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 love the thought of all the original Olympians wearing diapers.

Ancient Greeks placed great value on a fit body, I imagine that's at least part of the reason why.

Because not everyone is prude and scared of the human body.

[-] hOrni@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

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.
