Puer mingens

A puer mingēns (Latin: [ˈpʊ.ɛr ˈmɪŋ.ɡeːns]; pl.: puerī mingentēs [ˈpʊ.ɛr.iː mɪŋ.ˈɡɛn.teːs]) is a figure in a work of art depicted as a prepubescent boy in the act of urinating, either actual or simulated. The puer mingens could represent anything from whimsy and boyish innocence to erotic symbols of virility and masculine bravado.
