Tullebukk3000: That mystic, historical russian character Rasputin is said to have had an unusually large organ.. Which was one of the things that made him so popular with the ladies.. Apparently women's fascination with this isn't something new that came along with the sexual liberation of the last century 
Ineligible: We might also mention the Roman emperor Heliogabalus (Elagabalus), born around 204 or 205, Roman Emperor 218-222. Lampridius reported: " . . . even at Rome he did nothing but send out agents to search for those who had particularly large organs and bring them to the palace in order that he might enjoy their vigour" and "He made a public bath in the imperial palace and at the same time threw open the bath of Plautinus to the populace, that by this means he might get a supply of men with unusually large organs. He also took care to have the whole city and the wharves searched for onobeli [i.e. like an ass in this respect -- DM], as those were called who seemed particularly lusty".
Gibbon adds that he "chose his chief ministers per enormitate membrorum".
In ancient China there was also an important incident involving an imperial party at which a man was invited who was reputed for the size of his organ - I'll have to look up the details.

bradleeM: During the last campaign there was a lot of liberal fantasies over Gore's pic in Rolling Stone with his small bulge, but during the first news conference in Crawford Texas, W was dressed in tight levis and his bulge not only swung to and fro, but was very prominent. At the time of that news conference ( late Dec 2000) CNN showed that scene a lot, of W walking accross the yard to meet the news men. It was so popular that it hit the net and there was a short debate over who was more hung, Gore or Bush. Of course opinions followed everyones political beliefs. While in college a fellow college student took a picture of him nude dancing on a piano...........and the stories discussed his hung status.
Historically, Hung dudes are generally not as aggressive as the smaller dudes...........especially if they have any height at all. It is usally the short dudes, as in height, that are especially aggressive in their behavior, no matter what their station or position in life might be.

gigantikok: Kinda like a lil fiesty Chihuahua. It's like they had something to prove.
Off topic a bit, I usually have observed that it works the same was with dogs. The largest dogs (with a few exceptions) usually wouldn't harm a fly... big and loving. The smaller they get though, the more aggressive they get. I've seen some mean lil dogs in my day...

liao: RE: China
There are two famous stories regarding well-hung men and the women who lusted after them.
The first comes from the Han dynasty (apprx. BC 220-221 AD). I quote from Eric Chou's "The Dragon and the Phoenix" in which he paraphrases from the historical chronicles:
"Widowed, the queen mother frequently summoned him to her palace to satisfy her hunger for sex...[he] found himself unable to cope with his former concubine sexually. One day,when he was driving through a street, he caught a glimpse of a young man urinating by the roadside--a sight in no way uncommon in those days. But what was uncommon in [his] eyes was the size of this young man's member. Without hesitation he took him back to his official residence."
He was presented to the Queen Mother and things went well for a short time. Eventually he was found out; the man, Lao-Ai, was castrated and then executed. What Eric Chou leaves out of his paraphrase is the anecdote that he could carry around on his penis a large slab of wood with a hole drilled in the center.
The other story takes place in the Tang dynasty (approx. 7th - 9th centuries) and involved the only Empress China ever had. After she assumed power, she instructed her nephew, a garrison commander, to search out "talented" males. He accomplished his mission by visiting brothels and soon learned of a man named Hsueh Ao-ts'ao. According to Eric Chou paraphrasing from an unnamed source "He was so big and strong that the empress almost fainted after having several orgasms. While wiping her private parts she sighed: 'The whole empire is less valuable than that thing of yours.'
The empresses sexual escapades became the subject of a Ming dynasty erotic novel called "The Biography of Mr As-you-please." A study and translation was just recently released by the University of Hawai'i Press.

hawl: I recall that amid all the other ancient decadence in Satyricon by Petronius, there is a hung character named something like Gigantus 8) who is roaming around representing our ancestral tribe.

rrrrrr, You will find at "Et Cetera" a posting of mine with an excerpt from Petronius' « Satyricon ». I think the title I gave to the thread is "Eternal fascination with large penises" and it is to be found on page 1 of Et Cetera. Enjoy

hard2hide: Someone noted that Al Gore sported a small bulge. Here is the link to the Rolling Stone cover that was reportedly airbrushed to make his cock bulge appear smaller.

Ineligible: Thanks, liao, for that very learned and scholarly post about China. I'm not sure which of these I was thinking of - I haven't had a chance to look up my reference.
Welcome to the board - I hope you'll post more.

Tullebukk3000: Although not an actual person I guess we could mention the greek god Priapos..

Ineligible: Ah, my reference was to Lao Ai: "During a scene of revelry he [sc. Lü Pu-wei] persuaded a certain Lao Ai, who was famous for the size of his yin, to parade the gathering with his yin thrust through the centre of a carriage wheel, and saw to it that the king's mother heard of this scene. She at once determined (as Lü Pu-wei had intended) to secure Lao Ai as her lover." (Arthur Waley, Three Ways of Thought in Ancient China, p. 225; the story comes from chapter 85 of the Shih Chi).
Apologies to scholars for the Wade-Giles, I don't know the Pinyin equivalents.

liao: Thanks for expanding on this, Ineligible.
Interesting note, Lao Ai probably wasn't the man's real name--although it is the only one recorded for him. The first character of the name means 'lustful' and the second character means 'misdeed.' The name apparently "became synonymous for centuries with copulation and male genitalia." "The Culture of Sex in Ancient China" (U of Hawai'i 2000) p.84. It also gives a translation of the relevant passages in the Shiji [Shih chi].
Don't apologize for the Wade-Giles. Anyone who does Chinese studies has to know it; besides, Paul Goldin in the book quoted above uses nothing but Wade-Giles.
Sorry, if I made this too 'academic.' I just can't help myself anymore. :-[

Ineligible: Not too academic for me at all. It's far out of my field but I find it very interesting.
