To think you saw a lot more todger in Georgian times

I'm seeing Wogans everywhere Grin

This period drama I'm watching has the buttoned Georgian trousers with loose pants (or no pants) underneath. You can see the outline of cock and balls in every shot.

There must have been a lot more visible cock in those times.

Dangerous with all that cleavage on display. Must have been erections everywhere

thatwouldbeanecumenicalmatter · 20/03/2017 18:31

Can you imagine how obvious erections were

That's why they all had top hats 🎩 😉

Bloody hell Lapsed, they look a bit draughty round the nether regions. Paris isn't that warm in winter.

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good todger, must be in want of a pair of really tight trousers"

I think that's the point Mr Cruikshank was trying to make. Apparently a lot number of women died of pneumonia during the first 2 decades of the 19th Century as a result of slavish adherence to fashion, which demanded the wearing of very thin low-cut short-sleeved muslin dresses (no petticoats or undercrackers), tiny strappy sandals and only a light shawl for warmth, even in the depths of winter. Not POOR people who had to work, obv. Except Ladies of Negotiable Affection perhaps.

Batteriesallgone · 20/03/2017 18:40

I think sex was quite celebrated in Georgian times. Seen as a good healthy activity (with the right person / people, natch).

Also the lighting was poor unless you were outside in good sunlight. So clothing was probably more suggestive than hugely revealing when in candlelight.

LapsedPacifist · 20/03/2017 18:41

This is why the Georgians are so much more interesting than the Victorians of course.

Wogan? What?? Link please!

JamesDelaneysHat · 20/03/2017 18:50

Please! Not the Wogan picture!

WorshipTheGourd · 20/03/2017 18:52

Do we have a pic of some of these tight breeches pls?

TheEmojiFormerlyKnownAsPrince · 20/03/2017 18:52

The ladies gowns were often see through too. And here is something not related but l always find interesting.

Women cut their hair short and messy and wore a red ribbon round their throat. This style was called 'La Guilloteine" after all the beheadings in the French Revolution.😵

So much cock outline

So funny Grin

Sorely needed on MN at the moment!

WhereYouLeftIt · 20/03/2017 18:53

Yep, the Georgians were rather ... earthy. Victorian primness was the backlash - and boy, did they have something to backlash against! Fashions were, err, very fetching.

For example, Gillray's Lady Godina's Rout

Link needed OP. Not Wogan - I think we have all seen that urgh!

PageNowFoundFileUnderSpartacus · 20/03/2017 18:54

The Wogan picture is not something you ask for lightly poisoned. Once seen it cannot be unseen. Get out while you still can!

I can't imagine a scenario where my dad would be commenting on the outline of a man's todger on TV to me.

I'm still recovering from watching an episode of Men Behaving Badly with my parents when I was about 20. And it was the one where Martin Clunes was watching porn while Dorothy was working nightshift and he woke up with wank tissues stuck to the side of his face.

PageNowFoundFileUnderSpartacus · 20/03/2017 18:55

Ohhh, too late...

MycatsaPirate · 20/03/2017 18:56

Woah! That dress is a bit low cut!!

JamesDelaneysHat · 20/03/2017 18:56

Oh God! Scorched anew on my retina!

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 20/03/2017 18:57

Thank goodness I'm reading this via app so all pictures are reduced. I don't need to see the Woganator

Moanyoldcow · 20/03/2017 18:57

I love you all Grin
