As a nurse, I can tell you what my first thought was, but no (also walnut would be a terrible material for that).

tbh even as far as jokes go this is barely a joke given that it's still a genuine challenge and even as a joke it's still a fairly clean one (at least in the sexual sense)

Simply the spirit of a joke in the comment is enough to ban someone, and its understandable. Reddit is a very serious place for very serious important discussions, such as the story about the box, or that kid that broke both his arms, or that guy with two dongs. There's a time and place for everything, like this thing all the way up the r/whatusthisthing's mod team's anuses for all of time.

I mean... Everything's a buttplug if you try hard enough.

my guess was actually going to be "bedpan" but idk how much my nurse background plays into that

I don't think wood is the most suitable material, but in an emergency...

Bedpan was the first thing I thought of too, even before I saw your comment. I'm not a nurse, but I've had to deal with them with loved ones, and that tends to burn something into your brain. 😬
