Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and couples across the land will be looking to cosy up in an otherworldly realm know as the Getaway World.
This is a land where shared and dubiously scented flats vanish in place of picturesque, thatched B&Bs and stately lakeside hotels. Dry Coco Pops are switched for hand reared brunches, and Netflix scrolling is replaced with ‘real conversations about the future’.
And this pleasant yet dutiful excursion is all well and good, leaving the coupled masses feeling like gentile, TripAdvisor literate side characters in a Jane Austen novel.
But, if you’re being honest with yourself, wouldn’t your current relationship be far better represented by a loud and proud bumhole, bared to the elements?
Designed by Dutch artist Joep Van Lieshout, the aptly named CasAnus is a gigantic polyester sculpture in the shape of the human digestive system.
This of course includes an alarmingly lifelike human anus, with a bum hole substantial enough to rest your champagne picnic basket in.
This unusually veiny structure is located in the Verbeke Foundation Art Park, close to Antwerp in Belgium. And it is far more than just a one-of-a-kind landmark to take a few chuckle-worthy snaps of.
You and your significant other can actually stay overnight inside this romantically secluded digestive tract, without fear of being dissolved by gastric juices and excreted as lumps of faeces.
Inside the CasAnus, you will not find any traces of intestinal lining or partially digested fragments of stir-fry.
Instead, the interior is all is calmness and serenity, with ‘pristine white’ walls and plenty of wide windows to let the light in.
As well as a comfy looking bed and a table perfect for candlelit dinners, guests will have access to modern conveniences such as lighting, running water, electric heating and a shower.
There is also a toilet, which I imagine is a pretty mind boggling experience.
