Millions of women from all over the world come to see and touch the genitals of this grave statue in France. This is the statue of Victor Noir, a famous journalist who lived in the 1800s. Every year many women and men from all over the world come to Père-Lachaise Cemetery to kiss the lips, touch the feet and rub the genitals of Victor's statue. They don't just do it for fun. They surprisingly expect fertility benefits and a happy sex life from this strange behavior. 😮
Statue of Victor Noir
European funerary art allowed many artists to explore their style by experimenting with the idea of an eternal monument. What image should remain as an eternal monument linking the absence of a man and the grief of their family?
In his photographic journey Erotique du Cimetiere, painter and funerary art expert Andre Chabot offers a wonderful reflection on how his female nude statues became the ultimate symbol of mourning, comforting our wounded souls through the sensuality of their curves. But if femininity is a common motif in French cemeteries, Victor Noir's tomb and the incongruous legends surrounding it present new possibilities in the Eros equation.
Victor Noir, a 19th century political journalist, is one of those people who is better remembered in death than in life. Shot in a duel by Prince Pierre Bonaparte in 1870, he became a martyr of the nascent republic and a symbol of imperial injustice. More than 100,000 people attended his funeral, where hysterical cries and calls for rebellion were mixed. After the fall of the Second Empire, Victor Noir's body was transferred to Père Lachaise Cemetery, and a bronze statue was commissioned to the sculptor Jules Dalou to honor his memory.
Noir depicted an elegant man lying on the ground after the fatal bullet, his top hat tipped to his side. Dalou chose to represent Noir in a very realistic manner, his face having the detailed quality of a cast death mask. However, another detail of Noir's anatomy would soon receive more attention than the sober realism of the memorial bronze. The dead Victor, in his eternal slumber, wears a moustache, the envy of many of his living.
Victor Noir is currently one of the most visited residents of the graveyard, after Jim Morrison and Alan Kardek. His popularity lies not in his prowess as a journalist or his iconic role, but in the infamous bulge in his pants. A generation of superstitious (or just plain randy) women decided they could stave off infertility by indecently rubbing Victor's impressive girth, and these rubs could be performed more than the traditional way.
After a century of daily revelry (even the burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese has gone), Victor Noir's lips and loins are shiny and polished nickel-clean, while the rest of his body remains the green tone of oxidized bronze. In 2004, when a fence was erected around Victor Noir's mausoleum to prevent fertility seekers from touching the statue, women were so offended that several loud protests at the cemetery were enough to tear down the fence.

A self-proclaimed republican and deputy for Corsica after 1848, Bonaparte reconciled with his cousin Napoleon III in 1851. After the coup d'état of 1851, the republicans abandoned the prince, and he had little influence on the politics of his time. His assassination of the journalist Victor Noir in January 1870 accelerated the already rising tide of republican and radical agitation directed against the Second Empire in its final months. The incident was the result of a dispute with another journalist, Paschal Grousset, who had sent Noir to invite the prince to a duel. A special high court acquitted the prince of murder.
Victor Noire (born July 27, 1848, Attigny, Fr. - died January 10, 1870, Paris) was a journalist who was killed by Prince Pierre Napoleon Bonaparte, a first cousin of Emperor Napoleon III, leading to an increase in popular struggle in France. This was a rising tide of radical agitation, which plagued the last months of the Second Empire.
Noir visited the prince on 10 January 1870 to challenge another journalist, Paschal Grousset, to a duel. A quarrel ensued, in which the prince killed Noire. Noir's funeral at Neuilly (January 12) featured a mob demonstration against the Empire. Tried by a special high court in Tours, the prince argued that Noir had provoked the shooting by punching him in the face. Fonvielle denied the charge, but the prince was acquitted on 25 March 1870.
