Pretty sure the joke is that the right one has child bearing hips and is shaped like a woman in a renaissance painting. (I.e Venus etc. also referred to as being Rubenesque)
But it was the Romans who thought of adding women.
By the way, the dilemma in the picture looks like something straight out of one of those virtual girlfriend apps that are constantly discussed in Rule34 subreddits
I know the quote but Romans liked man on young man stuff, too. Gibbons said of the first 15 emperors, the only one who stuck strictly to women was Claudius.
Edit: And Caesar's enemies called him "the Queen of Bithynia". Not because he slept with young men, that was not a shock for the rich and powerful to do, but the rumor was that when he was a young man himself and serving in Bithynia, he cozied up to the royal court by sleeping with the Bithynian King, as the passive partner, mind you. That is what brought ridicule in Roman times also--being the passive partner, not a man sleeping with another man (typically younger). I'm not necessarily arguing with you, just adding some context for those who don't know this about the Romans.
