The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife (蛸と海女 Tako to ama?) is an erotic woodcut of the ukiyo-e genre made around 1820 by the Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. Perhaps the first instance of tentacle eroticism, it depicts a woman entwined sexually with a pair of octopuses, the smaller of which wraps one of its tentacles around the woman's nipple and kisses her, while the larger one performs cunnilingus. Hokusai created The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife during the Edo period in when Shinto was making a resurgence; this influenced the piece's animism and playful attitude towards sexuality. It is a celebrated example of shunga and has been reworked by a number of artists. Similar themes of human females having sexual intercourse with sea life have been displayed since the 17th century in Japanese netsuke, small carved sculptures only a few inches in height and often extremely elaborate.
Those Japanese and their tentacle rape. Largely a by-product of censorship where a penis cannot be shown penetrating a woman... but a tentacle is AOK. This is a case where one can make an argument in favour of the suppression of images.

The woman who can't say 'penis' but instead says "male private area" sees cocks everywhere. When prompted to think of other shapes by the newscaster, perhaps a rocket ship or barlett pear? Her response is: "I can't think of any other thing"

Best part? The newscaster ends his piece by claiming that he's been to "Three Wal*Marts in three states and can't find any Fun Straws on any shelves".
