Male customers at a restaurant have complained they can't urinate because the realistic-looking models in the toilets are "too sexy".

The bizarre installation features three scantily-clad female mannequins standing next to the urinals - prompting some men to claim they've had trouble relieving themselves.

The restaurant is located in the city of Taiyuan, in northern China’s Shanxi province.

In order to use the toilets, men have to stand next to a glass panel containing the the trio of models.

One customer, Sun Kao, 24, told local TV: "I walked back out again when I saw the women there because I thought at first I was in the wrong place, but when I realised it was the proper place and I tried to relieve myself, it just didn't work.

"It was very off putting having a good-looking woman even if it was a plastic one apparently staring at me as I tried to do my business."

Images of the bizarre toilet installation quickly went viral on Chinese social media websites after being posted online, with many people sympathising with the guests about how difficult it would be to use the toilet.
