Each spring, people flock to Kawasaki, Japan, to celebrate Kanamara Matsuri , aka the "Festival of the Steel Phallus."
Held this year on April 6, the festival is a celebration of the penis and fertility. People parade gigantic phallic-shaped mikoshi (portable Shinto shrines) down the streets during the event, as revelers suck on penis lollipops, buy penis-themed memorabilia and pose with sculptures in the shape of -- you guessed it -- penises.
According to the BBC, the festival is believed to have roots in the 17th century , when prostitutes are said to have prayed for protection from sexually transmitted infections at Kawasaki's Kanamara shrine.
Today, the festival reportedly raises awareness about safe sex practices and fundraises for HIV prevention.
Scroll down to see the (somewhat NSFW) photographs of this year's Kanamara Matsuri:

Celebrating penises is a real thing. And while Westerners are still being shy about it, the people of Kawasaki, Japan, have been embracing dicks at the annual Festival of the Steel Phallus (Kanamara Matsuri) since 1977.
Penis-worshipers parade through the streets of the small a suburb of Tokyo, carrying candy, lollipops, balloons, purses and even dick-shaped carved radishes, all in the shape of male genitals. The festival’s biggest draw includes portable worshiping shrines of gigantic pink, orange and black phalluses floating through the crowd.
The festival’s origin can be traced back to the 17th Century , when a local blacksmith constructed a meter-long “Steel Phallus” to honor Shinto, the goddess of fertility and childbirth.
Dick jokes and fun aside, the festival has also served a noble purpose—to raise awareness for HIV prevention. And that’s something we can definitely get behind.

The Hodare festival in the city of Nagaoka is considered one of the country's biggest, and best, penis festivals - and there are a few
In the UK, it's good luck for the bride to wear something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.
But across Japan, you'll stand a better chance of marital success if the bride climbs atop a giant wooden penis and is paraded through town while waving to everyone.
The Hodare festival in the city of Nagaoka is considered one of the country's biggest, and best, penis festivals - and there are a few.
On the second Sunday of March each year, women who have wed in the past 12 months don traditional Japanese bridal gowns and straddle a totemic tool as it is carried through the streets.
The gigantic, seven foot phallus is celebrated as an emblem of good fortune, with huge crowds gathering to touch and stroke the mighty member as it passes.
The festivities are seen as bestowing fertility, marital bliss and good luck on those who participate.
"Hodare" translates into English as "male genitals", although apparently if spelled out in caps it means "ripening of rice plants" .
It is believed there have been Hodare festivals held in japan for centuries, although in recent years they have, unsurprisingly, become much bigger tourist attractions.
The parade comes after news that a housewife hacked at her husband's penis with a kitchen knife because he wouldn't have sex with her for over a decade.
Sex starved Rita Yadav almost fully detached Ved Prekash's genitals from the base during her vicious outburst, leaving him in a critical condition and with a cut that was almost four inches deep.
It took surgeons FIVE HOURS to reattach his penis and although Ved, 31, is now out of danger, he's still in hospital recovering.
Before slashing at his bits, Rita, 28, knocked out her taxi driver husband by hitting him over the head with a stone grinder.
She locked him in the bathroom following the attack at their home in Ghaziabad, northern India, on Thursday morning and then handed herself in at the local police station - telling horrified detectives that her actions were revenge.
Rita claimed that her husband refused to have sex with her for ten years of their 11-year marriage and she believed he was having an affair.
"He used to tell me he hated me," she said. "We used to fight daily and he told me he hated looking at my face. He always threatened he would have an affair.
"I was desperate to have children. I used to beg him but he said he’d make love to someone else instead. I’d been dealing with the torture for years and I couldn’t take any more."
