There was an ancient Greek play by Aristophanes.

Edit: someone needs to put this on without modernizing it. This sounds hilarious.

A Spartan herald then appears with a large burden (an erection) scarcely hidden inside his tunic and he requests to see the ruling council to arrange peace talks. The magistrate, now also sporting a prodigious burden, laughs at the herald's embarrassing situation but agrees that peace talks should begin.
