A removable manhood is being made for a nude statue because passers-by keep stealing his penis.
Hercules, the Greek god of strength, is known for the rather impressive myth that he bedded 50 women in one night.
The three-metre statue in a park in Arcachon, France, is the victim of constant vandalism. The mythical hero keeps getting his penis yanked off.
The mayor, Yves Foulon, has since announced that Hercules is getting a removable penis for special events in a bid to stop people stealing his willy.
Foulon told Sud-Ouest.”I wouldn’t wish anyone – not even my worst enemies – to go through what has been inflicted on this statue,”

While deputy mayor, Martine Phellipot, added: “Hercules has a fragile virility. We chose the option of making a removable prosthesis which is placed on the statue before each ceremony. It’s the only way to avoid constantly chasing after his anatomy.”
