Bums and penises

[frualeydis]

I am currently looking for good period pictures of men's bums and codpieces. Preferrably something free for use, like woodcuts.

ETA: I do not recommend image googling the word "codpiece"

Only 16th century? I had a 15th century manuscript image of a torturer in rather see-through underpants scratching his bum for my medieval underwear lecture - I can probably find it online, although I'm not sure it would be free to use for publication.

I dear not google "codpiece" for fear of seeing a picture of Cameo.

I have a lot of Italian picture references for cod pieces, undies and the likes. Here's the most interesting ones. In the links, the name of the artist is written towards the end, along with year/decade, and eventual clues on title and/or location.

Those links are a total Renaissance sausage festival. It's actually rather fascinating how sexualized some of that clothing is in that time period.
