What? She likes sex? Such a freak! What a scandal! /i

Having sex toys in a professional setting is... Unprofessional.

[–] UsernameIsTooLon 48 points 10 months ago

Unless the profession is porn lol

[–] [email protected] 21 points 10 months ago

I mean it looks like an office in their home, which is where such an error is completely understandable and forgiveable

Also, in the right context and to the right person a slightly-comically proportioned phalace can be a very funny and heartfelt gift especially when paired with a good punchline. I have a relative who works for the government, and received a penis-shaped bottle opener as a gift from a colleague in another agency after working a long-term project together with the attached commentary that his team wasn't the easiest to work with. Knowing the recipient plus how he loves to pull it out and tell the story every chance he gets, it's probably the best gift that he could've gotten.

Depends on the profession...

[–] Cypher 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The oldest profession disagrees

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Labeling that as unprofessional is kind of arbitrary, which was basically my point.

Although sex is something as natural, normal and common as eating, sleeping, shitting, having hair and whatever, some religious people a long time ago felt like this was something that needed to be tabooed, which I find stupid, because it has led and still leads to a lot of problems.

I'm glad that this started to change, but still, having some harmless sex toys on display shouldn't catch so much attention imo.

Yeah, I'm sure the calls of 'neckbeard' and 'incel' would be non-existent if it were a male subject with his fleshlight on full display.

[–] GhostFence 5 points 10 months ago

Oh they'd be 20 times louder with the hate if it was a dude and a fleshlight.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Which would be equally stupid.

Stopping to taboo sex would be advantageous for everyone.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Her liking sex/masturbation isn't bad. It's just kinda awkward to accidentally let millions of people see your sex toys.

[–] lennybird 22 points 10 months ago (2 children)

It's only taboo because of conservative evangelism, really. Like the difference in how the US vs Europe perceives sex vs. violence.

[–] Buddahriffic 12 points 10 months ago

Can I get a "fuck puritans"?

[–] Gabu 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Nah, I'll go with "this one is awkward for everyone". If it were a casual podcast, sure, who gives a shit, but on a serious interview? Weird.

[–] lennybird 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I just chuckled. That people are focusing in on the background for what is a "serious interview," that in itself is weird. I'd be focused on the interview, regardless.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

We should continue to normalise that topic such that no one needs to feel like this is awkward.

[–] macrocarpa 13 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

On a shelf though? Doesn't dust adhere to rubbery or siliconey stuff? I would have though in a drawer would be more hygienic.

[–] SPRUNT 15 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

It only collects dust if it sits around for a while. If it's on the bookshelf, it's probably not going unused for terribly long. Good for her!

saves time keeping your dildo next to your smut literature
