I am not going to lie. This was an incredibly difficult article to grab even a single safe-for-general-audiences image for. There are tons of blink-inducing pictures on the blog link below (definitely check it out), but they are, uh, really, really not safe for work. Let me say that again: NSFW.
That being said, it is an awesome world where someone has an idea like this and then actually executes on it. Ahem.
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.
A tragic legend known as the “Legend of Auebawi and Haesindang” shrouds the statues of the park in that a virgin was once swept out to sea and drowned, unable to be saved by her lover. The townspeople were devastated and helpless, and a curse appeared to have been cast over them, ruining the local fishing industry.
One day, a local fisherman masturbated in the sea and miraculously the fishing industry revived. He discovered that her restless spirit could be appeased in such a manner, so the townsfolk compensated for the woman’s inability to consummate beyond the grave by placing sexually potent phallic statues in view of the shore.
