On the contrary it should be very easy, since they have one giant dong elected as POTUS.

That probably goes back to JH Kellogg and his Seventh Day Adventist religion, and possibly back to the Puritans.

I was wondering why only penises…where are all the vaginas and then I read the article.

The festival as legend has it honours a local blacksmith in the Edo Period (1603-1868) who forged an iron dildo to break the teeth of a sharp-toothed demon inhabiting a woman’s vagina that had been castrating young men on their wedding nights.
