    3. I was wondering...Lysistrata is an ancient play about women who withhold sex from their warmongering husbands in a bid to get them to stop fighting all the time. The play consists of the men wearing giant phalluses, which go up or down depending on the temperament of the man. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysistrata

    1. It is very typical of Portugal. I traveled from Albufeira to Sagres last year and found myself looking down many a scary hole :)
