== Sex Wax in the UK ==
Surfers in [[Wales]], [[United Kingdom]], make ''Sex Wax Faces'' moulded from the scrapings off of their boards and hide them around beach car parks to freak out tourists. These small grey-white balls of wax have simple markings to denote facial features that look [[voodoo]]-like. One local newspaper, the ''[[Western Telegraph]]'' included a story which maintained that [[Hoodoo|ritualistic practices]] were taking place at [[Newgale]] beach in [[Pembrokeshire]]. {{Fact|date=January 2007}}
