Historical story

Was Napoleon's penis small?

Many argue that Napoleon's boundless ambition was an attempt to compensate for the tiny size of his penis. We have many interpretations of this type, and in recent times, almost every historical figure that has ever existed, has been the subject of a Freudian reinterpretation and analysis, but, in the case of Napoleon, it has been possible "to verify empirically" this theory, because in fact, it was possible for us to study, analyze and measure Napoleon's penis.

What you see in the picture is the real Napoleon's penis , and if you are wondering why he is in a box and is no longer attached to his body, the answer is easy.

During his exile on the island of Sant’Elena , Napoleon found himself surrounded by people, let's say from a political current different from his own, apart from Napoleon it seems that there was not a single Bonapartist on the island. however, Napoleon was surrounded by people who did not love him and consequently behaved, pass me the term, like a real asshole, especially with the doctor who assisted him.

According to the legend, during his last days of life, it seems that Napoleon was particularly unbearable and when the island's doctor was called to ascertain the death of the emperor (once crowned one is an emperor for life U.U).

When he was there, after establishing that Napoleon was indeed dead, he took a knife and castrated him, before the body was sent to Paris for burial and the precious trophy of penis and testicles was kept in a glass container ( like Viennese sausage ).

According to another version, Napoleon's penis was cut not on the island of Sant'Elena but during the journey of the body to Paris, it is said to be castrated by the cleric Vignali, who had never forgiven the general some references on the alleged sexual defaillance.

In any case, once he arrived in Paris for the burial, no one checked whether all the pieces of the late emperor were in the coffin.

Inutile dire che la cosa non mi sorprende, non vedo per quale motivo qualcuno avrebbe dovuto slacciare i pantaloni al cadavere di Napoleone per controllare se aveva ancora il pene

In 1999, Napoleon's imperial phallus was auctioned and sold to John F. Lattime , a lecturer at Columbia University, for about $ 4,000.

Lattime did not purchase the imperial phallic relic for collecting reasons, his interest was in fact mainly scientific, and following the purchase he performed several tests, but above all, he made several measurements, which allow us to answer the question, Did Napoleon have a Small penis?

According to measurements made by Lattime, Napoleon's penis measured about 4.5 cm at rest and about 6-7 cm when erect. I leave the necessary deductions to you.

Many studies have been made on Napoleon's penis, and not only on the real one, but also on many paintings, some scholars in fact, have been able to ascertain that, in numerous portraits, the folds of the trousers, highlighted the sexual organ of the 'French emperor, a detail that seems to reinforce the idea that Napoleon was really "obsessed" with the size of his penis.
