We don't even like gay pride parades, and they have penis festivals.

Why is that crazy?

Fertility rituals exist in many religions worldwide in our species entire history. I certainly don't agree with the superstition behind it, but it isn't unique to Japan.

FYI the commonly believed fish symbol Christian's used was taken from prior polytheistic fertility motifs representing the vagina.

Well, the origin of this festival lies in the local lore that frigid brides can be warmed up with cast iron dildos.     More than ordinary prudes the US would be up in arms over this.

Also, I believe to be true to the original tradition, the penis float needs to be carried by naked teen age girls during the festival parade.

In all seriousness. Humans worldwide have a unhealthy view of sex, mostly based on mythology and religion.

It isn't to say that one is advocating no rules and public orgies. But only in that humans far too often see it as gender role related, and or taboo. 

The irony is that the odds of getting raped at a nudist camp are far lower than in the general public.
