Our Lord Jesus Christ was, in all likelihood, naked on the cross. Christian art and the Church will not face it readily so you won’t see crucifixion pictures of Jesus with exposed penis though in all likelihood, following Roman custom, he would have been crucified naked.
There is even biblical support for this seemingly way out thought. Let’s probe this radical idea a bit by checking John 19.23 in a few versions in light…
