Spice up your life! (1st Anniversary Special)

Contributed by: PurpleRose (Dr. DominatRhix)

“Bed” weather…Yes, we are having a stormy weather today as we have reached our first year here in LXPress, which also means that it is the first year anniversary of The LXP (League of Extraordinary Perverts)! To those of you who have no idea of what and who we are…bahala kayo sa mga buhay nyo! LOL

Kidding aside, we’re just a bunch of people (people?! more like immortals!) who happen to have this extraordinary telepathic way of thinking green (nope, not that environmental kind of green, well…we can be “environmentalists”, too!)…and yes, we are mutants! We have evolved and now we are greater than ever! Walang aangal kung gusto nyo pang mabuhay! *evil laugh*

And so to commemorate this special event in our “perverted” lives, I have searched for something that will spice things up a bit, just like when you have your first year anniversary with your partner… *wink*

Here is a compilation of….

The BIG Event: The Japanese Penis Festival

By dru, for dru (I’m cute that way)

What better way to celebrate the first anniversary of our wonderfully informative blog than by looking at humanity’s reverence for the phallus. Hold on to those champagne bottles, in this blog more things shoot up than the usual bubbly.

I know, the first time I saw it even I had a hard time keeping my jaw from dropping. Well it’s true! At least the blogs I visited said it was. They got pictures to prove it! Thanks to yamasa.org for giving some insights into this kinky yet bizarre err… spectacle.

Hounen Matsuri, Tagata Jinja View video of Tagata Jinja

The most famous mikoshi (portable shrine) in Japan Click to enlarge

Tagata Jinja is a Shinto shrine in Komaki just north of Nagoya, and as such is just one of many that can be found throughout Japan. It symbolizes the strong spatial and temporal linkage of the people to the community of Komaki, which until comparatively recently was a farming area. The Hounen festival at Tagata shrine is one of the most famous (or infamous?) festivals in Japan. Amongst foreigners visiting Aichi Prefecture it is frequently referred to as the “penis shrine”, or “Japanese penis festival”, primarily due to the ancient Hounen Matsuri (a festival celebrating fertility and renewal), which is held here every March 15th.

Every year on March 15 a huge two and a half meter wooden phallus is carried the short distance between two shrines attracting visitors from all over Japan and international media attention. The festival is fun with a lot of sake drinking, however the background of the festival is rather more serious. A shrine is a place of worship. It houses divine spirits and preserves the memory and practice of many aspects of Japanese culture. This file is intended to introduce some of the history, mythology, rituals, and customs of Tagata Jinja.
