So South Korea has an entire park dedicated to penisis.
Haesindang Park (해신당 공원), also called Penis Park, is a park located on the east coast of South Korea, in a small town called Sinnam, about 20 kilometres (12 mi) south of Samcheok in Gangwon Province. The park is noted for its number of erect phallic statues. The collection created by Korean artists is on display in the form of "hanging arrangements to three-meter tall trunks of wood", for joy, spirituality and sexuality. A small Folk Museum titled "Village Folk Museum" has exhibits of art objects on the "sexual iconography" over ages in different cultures, shamanic rituals and also the history of the Korean fishing community.
[i]A tragic legend known as the "Legend of Auebawi and Haesindang"shrouds the statues of the park. According to the legend, a woman was once left by her man on a rock in the sea while he worked, the man was later unable to retrieve her because of a storm, and the woman drowned. After that, the village people were not able to catch fish. Some said that it was because of the dead woman. One day a fisherman peed into the water and afterwards he was able to catch fish, so it was thought that exposing the deceased virgin to male genitalia pleased her. To soothe her spirit further, the local village people made several phallic wooden carvings and held religious ceremonies on her behalf. After a while, the fish slowly returned and the villagers were able to live comfortably again. The place where the woman died was named Aebawi Rock and the building where the religious ceremony is held twice a year was named Haesindang. The ceremony is still honored today as a traditional folk event.[/i]

Sooo... I was going to post a link to a video that has footage of the park as well as told the legend that inspired the sculptures to be erected (hehe) there. I decided against it since some moderator might not consider that it's culture and history and get banned for posting a link to inappropriate content. The Captain and Clark channel on YouTube has a 4 minute video about it titled "Penis Park in South Korea." It's informative and entertaining. See for yourselves.

5 RepliesEdited by A Rising Wind: 4/21/2016 1:45:33 PMThat's awesome. I read a recent story about a park in France that has a huge nude Hercules statue, and the local city was trying to figure out how to fix the problem that his penis kept getting stolen. They'd fix it only to have it get stolen again. Their solution? Make a removable penis that they only put on the statue for "special occasions". The rest of the time he is ken doll crotch. Which begs the question, who's the lucky bastard whose job it is to put the dick back on the statue? "Oh, the big parade is tomorrow! Better go put Hercules man junk on"
