"The erect penis is a common motif throughtout the Bhutanese countryside. Many explanations are heard. Perhaps the most common is that they scare away evil spirits." (Carpenter, Blessings of Bhutan) For sure, these house decorations always get the attention of visiting westerners.
Carpenter notes that, " This is a country where sexuality often operates in an easygoing environment. Extramarital sex is common. Marriage is often an informal arrangement, especially for rural people. Both men and women are free to divorce whenever they want to."
