…that you’re Visiting with your Husband, and you see a Photo of your Ex there. > [@](#): > > When my husband and I went to Iceland, the first place we visited was a penis museum. I was okay with seeing preserved phalluses of whales, polar bears and reindeer, but it was hard to get past people shrieking in disgust or snapping selfies while pretending to lick the exhibits. Worse yet were the guys who boasted things like, “That moose has nothing on me.” I sighed, wondering if men would ever stop obsessing over the inches in our pants. > > Unlike the other patrons, my husband quietly observed each display with his hands neatly folded behind his back. I moved past the animals in favor of photos of naked men on the wall. To my surprise, I recognized one of the models. > I was stunned. Who goes to a penis museum in Iceland with his husband and finds a picture of a man he’d slept with? > > While it was his foot-long penis that many people desired, it was this guy’s face, handsomely round like a grown-up cherub, that drew me to him nearly 20 years ago. Yeah, that’s awkward. > **[What Seeing A Photo Of An Old Fling In A Penis Museum Made Me Realize About...](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/penis-museum-marriage-second-thoughts_n_60fd63f8e4b073351627a692)** > > "Was I carrying unresolved feelings?

It’s a great museum, one of the highlights of our trip. The gift shop alone is worth the price of admission. We treasure our bottle opener. ---

I’ve heard of those things being called “trunks”, but using a whole tree for a bottle opener seems … excessive. ---

I think it’s going to be a stiff challenge to top that one. But posters are coming this way to do just that. Gotta hand it to 'em; where there’s desire, there’s results. ---
