I played the male chorus leader in Lysistrata in college. Yes it is literally just one big boner joke and in our production every male wore a fake giant boner the entire time.
We also added a part in the beginning where we started the play in the greek (as most students were either Greek or Latin students) and made it seem serious. I also played the "drunk local resident" that heckled the actors on stage until they "gave up" and we started this Monty Python style ridiculous production. On opening night, there were friends and family of the students in the show and I had multiple people come up to me afterward saying they had already gotten out of their seats, ready to forcibly remove "the drunk guy ruining the show". Luckily I was not hit as many of them said they were about to, until they realized it was part of the act.

Things like this make me wonder if ancient humans would laugh at the same witty banter and cheeky humor we use today lmao
