One of the places we visited in Jeju Island on our first day there was the Love Museum. The name of course is misleading because it's all about sex and erotica, and not necessarily love. For this reason, only those 18 years old and above are allowed to enter. For this same reason, I am only posting some of the wholesome pictures I took.
The moment you get inside the park, you will see a lot of cement sculptures of phalli. There is also a fountain, the water of which is sprayed from a gigantic male organ. Two mounds are also visible and if you pay close attention, you will see that pink nipples are present on top of the mounds!
Inside the museum are more art revolving on the erotica and on sex organs. The ground floor also serves as souvenir shop for those who wants to buy kinky stuff. The second floor houses dioramas portraying sex in many situations.
Adults are sure to be amused at what the Love Museum has to offer. It reminds me of the Shunga, most especially the ukiyo-e of Japan. The Koreans also had something similar which dates back to the Joseon Dynasty.

I'm just starting to read up on Korean history to somehow make sense of my trip.
