wait, is the ancient strap-on a real thing?

[–] ReanuKeeves@lemm.ee 6 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, strap-on tails were common back then. Funnily enough, the original ones were developed by hunters to help them blend in with other animals. As time went on they were adopted by women as a symbol of counter-culture like "women can also hunt" kinda thing. They would often bejewel them as a sign of wealth.

Knowing ancient Greeks and humanity in general, I wouldn't be too suprised if that is true.
