I mean if I knew I was gonna die might as well go out slapping it.

This figure is one of the plaster casts discovered in Pompeii. On the internet, it is often humorously referred to as “the masturbating man of Pompeii.” However, this interpretation has no archaeological basis.
When Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD, a massive pyroclastic surge swept through the ancient city. This surge consisted of extremely hot gas and volcanic ash with temperatures exceeding 300 degrees Celsius, which caused instant death to anyone in its path. The victims were overwhelmed within seconds, leaving them no chance to react or escape.
The extreme heat triggered an immediate contraction of the muscles, resulting in tense and unnatural body positions. This physical reaction explains why some of the victims appear to be in peculiar poses. The position of this particular man’s hand is therefore the consequence of a natural reflex at the moment of death rather than any intentional or conscious act.
It’s instinct to cover your balls when faced with imminent danger /j (even though it is true kinda)

Guy died agonizingly while his entire body got covered in molton hot ash and now 2000 years later gets laughed at online for looking like he was cranking his hog. What a trip.

Perhaps the last thing that blew that day in Pompei wasn’t Vesuvius afterall.
He ended up rock hard.
Takes danger wanking to a whole new level!
Imagine cranking one and like 2000 years later you are getting shit for it.
One more for the road
When in doubt, rub one out.
One. Last. Wack.
He’s not preserved, that’s concrete poured into the void in the ash where the body was
At least he died doing what he loves.
“Surely, no one will ever know”
Cumming and going at the same time.
“There’s a massive eruption”
“Thanks for the compliment. I mean it’s not really massive but I’m happy with it”
Dankus Wankus will forever be remembered 🥲
My man was facing oblivion and decided to rub one out one last time in the face of eternity. Legend shit
The penultimate autoerotic asphyxiation!
If you have an erection lasting longer than 4 hours please contact your doctor
I can already picture it in a museum: “*A wank for eternity*”
Most people assume he died from the volcano, but upon further inspection: he had a stroke.
That post-nut clarity just hits different in the shadow realm
Everyone always talks about how he was jerkin it. But think logically.
Man is sleeping nude on the floor, fire and brimstone swallows the town turning it all to glass.
You bet your ass he tried to cover up.
