To wonder why penis graffiti is so common in the UK?

At least in the part of the UK where I live (the North, without getting too specific…I know the North is a large area), maybe it’s a regional issue?

But I have lived in three different countries and only experienced this since moving to the UK. I never saw penis graffiti like this before moving here.

Every time I go out there is a penis scribbled somewhere. On a bus bench there is a massive one with hair and stuff squirting out that anyone who wants to relax while waiting for the bus has to sit on.

There was another along a children’s nature walk by the river, on a white wall, about 4’ tall and bright red. Thankfully someone painted over that one.

But I see them, big and small, sometimes even made with the dark juice of some random piece of fruit (as seen near a farm and wild fruit hedge, made on the path).

These are just a very small sampling of the many penises I have seen while out and about.

I suppose people will say ‘because kids’, but why not in other countries I’ve lived, where kids exist? I’m not slamming the UK, I’m genuinely curious.

This is the work of a previously banned poster.

I think what’s regional is how much graffiti there is generally maybe.

When I was at school we had some French exchange students. They had to bring their textbooks to class. One was a cartoon style text and you could see where they’d expended a lot of energy in trying to rub out multiple dicks, boobs and speech bubbles with all sorts of profanities. Made me laugh

😂

I live in London. Can't remember the last time I saw penis graffiti. All I see is tagging.

This! Is it some outside the M25 thing?

I find nob graffiti rather jolly.

Hah! It took ages!! Grin not the actual xxx-ing but working out how to post it as edit reverted it to standard lines then a screenshot took ages to apply Blush.
There used to be a poster on here - I forget her name but someone will remember them - who was a wonder at creating pictures using Flowers Bear etc She once made me piss myself as there was a fence-painting debate and she did a whole green/red one with EnvyAngry
Shout out if she's still on here x

There is a ‘technical term’ of TTP in the public realm = time to penis. “Lovely mural proposal, what’s its predicted TTP?’ Ie how long till someone adds a cock and balls to it.

This is a teenage boy/immature man/odd woman with a certain sense of humour thing and has been everywhere, forever, always.

Have you not seen that Australian comedy series where the boy plants the grass seed on the roof garden to grow i to a penis? Or was it Clarksons Farm where they planted seeds that way? My brother weedkillered his mates garden into one. Its just an unfortunately easy shape to draw with a few lines, unfortunately. Vulvas just arent as comical as a cock and balls as well.

I was expecting to read about heavily tattooed penises!
