PT: Iceland

The boy and I are huge fans of the show Three Sheets. He has also told me about a music festival in Iceland that WE MUST GO TO (my Web search came up with nothing; he’ll have to tell me again). But what in the world does all this have to do with Penis Tuesday, you ask?

Iceland, of course. And my life’s work.

From what I know, the country is not shaped like a giant phallic fiord, but it is home to the largest mammalian penis museum. Iceland’s Phallological Museum is our mecca for Penis Tuesday activity, housing over 270 specimens from 92 species of animals and penis-shaped art. And hanging above are testicle… lamps. I am unfamiliar with the locations of other mammalian penis museums, but you bet I’ll be adding this to my travel bucket list.

While I have no penis to donate upon my death, I will discover a way to have my life’s work submitted as a permanent exhibit. Your life’s work, you ask (really, enough with the questions)? Like Zane of Three Sheets, who discovers a specific country’s alcoholic culture in each episode, I will embark on a mission of sex — no, not to sleep with someone in every country — but to learn of a country’s identity with it: the museums dedicated to different aspects of the sex industry and history, strange sex laws, and mostly, the fascination with the penis.

I visited the Sex Machines Museum of Prague in 2007, which exhibited a wall of pierced penises (as well as other sexual devices of torture and well, enough displays to keep you giggling for a couple hours after drinking a gallon of beer).

My hope is that there is another opportunity for this:

Next up, I MUST visit Case’s Dittrick contraceptive museum right here in Cleveland.
