Beauty standards

Thinking about it, I came to the conclusion that beauty cannot exist without beauty standards. No matter what these standards might be, in order for people to be able to say "this is beautiful and this is not" you need to have standards.
Sometimes people naturally conform to beauty standards to the point that they're transparent to them. Other times people have to go through a series of not-so-natural processes to reach these standards. In some African tribes women are supposed to have long necks so they stretch their necks using many metal necklaces. In some American tribes women are supposed to have big butts so they travel all the way to Brazil of DR and get their belly's fat pumped and reinfected into their ass cheeks. In some European tribes it's considered better to look motionless and petrified than old, so people go to see doctors who inject them some venom in the forehead so that they would have no wrinkles (and lose the ability to express feelings).

Then there's a tribe somewhere in Indonesia in which people think (or at least used to think, I really don't know how it is nowadays) that you're not a man (ie you're a kid) if your glans is not fully apparent and bare at all times and pierced with a metal bar that goes either from left to right or up to down. For what I've been told the piercing is there to both testify that you can go through that very painful process and to enhance your and your partner's pleasure during intercourse. The tricky part of these beauty standards is actually the "bare glans" part. For these people it was not a big deal or anything problematic because men in this population all have a large head and a short foreskin. These people did not even know what circumcision is, they were all either born without a foreskin or with one that was so short that the head would uncover by itself sometime between 13 to 18 years of age.
Call that coincidence or fate but my great grandpa had the exact same "condition" : a large mushroom-like head and a total absence of foreskin at birth. He was an oddity where he came from but he was considered very normal on the other side of the world. His cousin, who was with him (alongside 3 other friends) on this trip also somehow had inherited that genetic trait. I'm pretty sure that's why they embraced this culture so quickly and married women from there.

We still carry on these standards. I would not say that I (or anyone I know) feels pressure confirming to them but that doesn't mean that they don't exist. I thought about that recently when I got the authorisation from one of my cousins to use a picture of his dick on my blog. His cock is 100% in conformity with what is considered a "manly" and "good looking cock" in our culture. I know that the picture is blurry and kind of looks like he has a lot of inner foreskin but that's the lighting. He has no inner foreskin and is very much uncut with a silver piercing through the head. I wish I had a picture of him soft : picture that head almost the same size as hard and the veins popping everywhere on very tight skin with no folds whatsoever.

He did not do anything to conform to these standards (except getting pierced), just like the people back on this island, he was born this way. For him, being almost unable to jerk off is his natural state, just like me (I got cut as an infant). I mean, we do jerk off but the shaft only. He's older than me so, back in the days, he got to teach me a few tricks to help me pleasure myself.
When you're born with a dick like this one you have to be creative and I think that is the main reason why our ancestors on that island were extremely open regarding sex. When the skin of your dick can barely move you need to jerk other parts of your body in order to get off, get some satisfaction and avoid sexual frustration (that oftentimes leads to increased violent behaviours).
This comes in direct conflict with what mainstream society tells us but, as far as I know, when choosing between society telling you to be repressed and your own dad and cousins telling you it's okay, if not important, to make yourself cum at all costs, you tend to chose the second option.
