Jeju Loveland, or what’s more commonly known as Love Land Korea is a sex theme park located on a Jeju island in South Korea. It’s full of statues and photographs that leave little to imagination. From large phallic sculptures, through detailed, oversized vaginas all the way to depictions of masturbation and sexual acts in various positions, Jeju Love Land opens doors to the oasis of sexual freedoms in the desert of sexual taboos.
After the Korean War, the island became a popular honeymoon destination for Korean couples, due to the island's warm climate.
Many of the couples had wed because of arranged marriages, and the island also became known
for being a center of sex education.
According to an article in Germany's Der Spiegel magazine, in the late 1980s journalist and travel writer Simon Winchester reported that some hotel employees on the island performed as "professional icebreakers."
In the evenings, the hotel would offer an entertainment program featuring erotic elements, to help newlyweds relax.
In 2002, graduates of Seoul's Hongik University began creating sculptures for the park, which opened on November 16, 2004.
Encompassing an area the size of "two soccer fields", all of the sculptures can be viewed in approximately one hour, and there is an additional monthly rotating exhibit featuring works by different Korean artists.
Visitors are required to be at least 18 years old, and a separate play area is available for minors while adults visit.
