What did they leave out?

Notice the polished area on the statue...legend has it that by rubbing their groins on the gentlemen's raised parts, young ladies will become fertile or find a lover.

At least that is what I've always heard...

There was a plaque with a raised relief face of the first university president at Carnegie Tech where I went to college. Rubbing his nose was supposed to bring luck and the superstition kept his bronze nose nice and shiny.

I've seen other statues that are objiously rubbed for one reason or another, but I haven't heard of lewd rubbing before.

Cross-correlation ....

The groin-al region is getting rubbed away.

And Jolly tells us that there is a fertility superstition if a women rubs her groin on the groin-al region.

But another superstition is that "a woman who kisses the lips of the prostrate statue and slips a flower into the upturned top hat will find a husband by the end of the year."

So what is the superstition if ......
