If there’s one place that doesn’t come to mind when you think about sexuality, it’s the Middle East.
Just about everything is censored.  The ladies have to cover their bodies even when it’s scorching hot.  And everyone knows you’d get your head chopped off if you even had a dirty thought.
But despite all that raging conservatism, one of the most overt displays of sexuality in the world is in… Iran.
There’s a cemetery in northeastern Iran called Khalid Nabi that’s becoming a big tourist attraction for one reason: the gravestones are shaped like male and female genitals.

We’re not sure if this place has the highest number of phalluses on public display in the world, but it must be damn close.  There are over 600 stone gravestones shaped like penises and breasts, all of varying size and shape.  Some of the shlongs are even taller than most visitors to the cemetery.
Even though Khalid Nabi is on Iran’s national heritage list, no one really knew about it until young people started to go there for a good laugh and word spread.  The thing is, this cemetery is way out in the middle of nowhere and difficult to get to, so these people were desperate for humor.
Pretty cool way for these stiffs to be remembered, huh?
