      Last time this made the rounds, it was said she didn’t know the dildo was there, a friend put it there as a prank. It was also said she deleted all her social media and whatnot afterwards too. I don’t have source and admit I can be totally off

      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.

        Which would be equally stupid.

        Stopping to taboo sex would be advantageous for everyone.

      Having sex toys in a professional setting is… Unprofessional.

        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.

        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.

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

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

          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.

            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.

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

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

        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!

    I do 3D scanning for one of the more popular high end sites. The guys coat their junk in smooth on & pour silicon in the resulting plaster mold, then send that to me to scan, embedded pubes & all. Not my favorite job but it’s an honest living. Just wish they’d send me some silicon vaginas every once in a while.

      Yeah, who keeps a dildo on their bookshelf on full display, unless they want it to be seen?

        Me, though it’s more indifference than active desire

        Brought my wife’s bad dragon collection out so she could show a friend the different firm esses and my ADHD ass put one on the shelf

        It’s been there for months, keeps getting put back there

        I could go move it right now if I wanted but now that’s it’s place now

    I swear I’ve seen this before, like pre-YouTube or circa 2001. i even remember the woman only lasting a few minutes on the forum that was scrutinizing it because she didn’t seem to be aware of trolls. if this is a recent interview then maybe it was done as some sort of homage. only way i would have come across it back then was if someone threw up a link in general chat on pirat4x4.

    Genuine question because I have no idea who that is, did she do this on purpose so that people would be fished into watching the video and therefore listening to what she is saying there?

      Definitely. What kind of animal stores a dildo on their bookshelf. You’re supposed to keep it safely tucked inside yourself.

        But what if you have more dildos than you have orifices? If it’s a suction dildo, yes, it belongs stuck to a window, preferably a ground floor front one, but if it’s not suction or you run out of window space and already have a centerpiece for your kitchen table, then a bookshelf is the next most natural place.

      She went on the BBC (no pun intended) to talk about her problems finding employment.

      So it’s possible but my spidey sense is she’s doing it for a laugh.
