The Penis Party . . .

Every year on March 15 Japan throws a giant festival to celebrate the penis and fertility. A 900-pound wooden phallus is paraded around the streets of the town Komaki, and women carry massive dildos in their arms. Thousands of people come to pay homage to the penis and take part in the festivities.



A Weighty Issue!

The Caramoja tribe of northern Uganda tie a weight on the end of their penises to elongate them - sometimes to such a degree that the men literally have to knot them up - while the Mambas of New Hebrides wrap theirs in yards and yards of cloth, making them look up to 17 inches long.



The Ultimate Hello!

When men of the Walibri tribe of central Australia greet each other, they shake penises instead of hands.



A Fashion Statement!

In fourteenth-century Europe, high-ranking noblemen were permitted to display their genitals below a short tunic, while those not impressively endowed could, if they chose, wear a leather falsie called a braquette.
