Love hotels are a short-stay hotel found in Japan that are designed for sex and are renowned for their focus on the privacy of their customers by providing anonymity to those seeking to engage in discrete intimate liaisons. Not the love hotel Banana & Donut (バナナとドーナツ) it seems. This Kyushu-based romance hotel, whose logo is a symbolism of sexual representation depicting an over-exerting banana on the verge of penetrating a coy looking donut, brazenly advertises on billboard-style highway signage this union of the phallus and yoni. They might as well have a big neon flashing sign saying “people getting laid here”. And what do you tell a car full of kids when driving past? Hey look children, this is how Mister Donut make those yummy banana donuts! But Mister Donut doesn’t push the banana in too far otherwise it will turn into a Krispy Kreme.
