- Kanamara Matsuri — Kawasaki, Japan
On the first Sunday of every April, Kanamara Matsuri, or “Festival of the Steel Phallus,” is held as a phallic-oriented celebration to encourage fertility and marital bliss amongst couples. Sounds like a good time! - Khajuraho Group of Monuments — Madhya Pradesh, India
This mesmerizing collection of 20 surviving temples dedicated to Hinduism and Jainism depicts one of Hinduism’s four goals in life sculpted into the temple walls: Kāma, or sexual desire. We’ll just say the Kama Sutra gets all its hottest moves from this place! - Chao Mae Tuptim Shrine — Bangkok, Thailand
This shrine located in downtown Bangkok honors a female fertility spirit. Women who are trying to conceive often leave lotus and jasmine at the site and, if they are blessed, will return to add an additional wooden penis. - Jeju Loveland — Jeju Island, South Korea
Loveland is a sculpture park located on the South Korean island of Jeju. “With over 140 sculptures depicting crude sexual acts, Jeju Loveland has become a highly popular tourist destination for those looking for a more risqué museum experience,” explains Buzzfeed. - The Cerne Abbas Giant — Dorset, England
This 17th century, 180-foot-tall geoglyph depicts a fully erect pagan warrior, believed to be a symbol of fertility. According to local folklore, infertility can be cured by fucking on top of the giant’s massive erection! - Bourani Festival — Tyrnavos, Greece
In this family-friendly, pagan ritual dating back to ancient Dionysian rites, people celebrate the cock by drinking to excess, singing dirty songs, and chasing each other around with giant fake dicks. Man, the Greeks know how to party!
