![]() That might indeed have been in order to give greater emphasis to the genitalia, but that applies to Renaissance men who sported the fashion, not 20th century actors. Surely it could be edited down some? Sten for the win 00:09, (UTC) Reply It's only a small cut, but I am editing the passage on Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet: "Each half of the codpiece's color corresponds to that of the opposite leg from their tights to accentuate and give greater emphasis to the actors' genitalia" - I doubt that a source for this assertion can be cited the reason that the codpieces are parti-coloured in contrast with the hose is because that was a common fashion of the time being represented. The list of references or usage of codpieces in recent films, etc exceeds the length of the rest of the article. Similarly, the shape of a kilt draws attention away from the crotch and a shapeless dangling purse/shield can do little to draw it back.Īs for the claim in the article that a codpiece could be made which would hold a limp phallus in an erect position, as a long term sufferer from Brewers' droop, I doubt the possibility. Beastiepaws ( talk) 03:07, 16 September 2011 (UTCĪ well-filled sporran protects the groin, but a kilt is normally so thick that little extra protection is necessary. It doesn't attach to the front of anything, but rather is worn around the waist, doesn't cover anything, isn't necessarily worn over the crotch, and isn't ordinarily worn with trousers at all. A sporran isn't a flap or pouch- it's a purse. At any rate, even this article calls it "a covering flap or pouch that attaches to the front of the crotch of men's trousers". how does it not fit the criteria? Again: it is worn over the crotch area it accentuates the crotch area and it is, to use the articles own language, "a covering flap or pouch." - Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.225.226.173 ( talk) 21:33, 15 September 2011 (UTC) Reply Actually, it's you making the positive claim, so it's you that needs to do the convincing. Beastiepaws ( talk) 21:19, 15 September 2011 (UTC) Reply Convince me. It's not a codpiece any more than a backpack is a waistcoat. A sporran is just a purse worn around a fellow's waist. ![]() Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.225.226.173 ( talk) 19:43, 15 September 2011 (UTC) Reply Sporrans aren't codpieces. If no one has a particular objection as to why it is NOT a codpiece, I think I will add a breif section about it. pouch," is worn over the crotch area, which it accentuates.
