Even the fearsome Vikings were troubled when it came to their manhood. According to british researchers, the terrifying Norsemen were insecure about the size of their manhoods when things got horny with their Helgas. Apart from the fact that the female name is all wrong (I have never met a Helga in my whole life), it's a funny read.
It seems that even as they cut a swathe through northern Europe, raping and pillaging as they went, the Norsemen were still troubled by the thought that size really did matter.
The research has been done by boffins at Cardiff University.
In one example in Grettir's saga, a serving wench bursts out laughing at seeing Grettir Asmundarson naked. She remarks: "It seems to me extraordinary how small he is below, I would not have believed it if someone had not told me." Grettir defensively points out his big testicles make up for his lack of inches.
