The only negative thing I see there is Brian’s rather backwards moralist judgement.
I find the projection in these comments fascinating. It’s someone joking about an embarrassing gaffe, not a moral judgement or anything close to slut shaming.
It may not be a moral judgement, but it certainly equates shitty time and having dildo in your interview background. Almost as if it was shaming, or I don’t really know what else to attribute that to
I’ve heard people say “the BBC”.
I’ve heard people say “BBC News”.
Ive never heard anyone say “the BBC News”.
…
and that cock isn’t even black.

Two possibilities:
- you never masturbate
- you are a hypocrite
So what is it?
- his harem of waifus pleasure him upon demand
It sounds like you feel a little threatened by a dildo, are you not confident in your ability to satisfy a women? It’s okay to include toys, especially if your partner climaxing is important to you.
what a self own, dear genital.
They, the scary women! Don’t worry, they can’t find you in your basement.
Bold of you to assume he lives in his own basement.
Think of the children!
What? She likes sex? Such a freak! What a scandal! /i
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.
Can I get a “fuck puritans”?
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 suits 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
Having sex toys in a professional setting is… Unprofessional.
Depends on the profession…
Depends on the profession…
Unless the profession is porn lol
The oldest profession disagrees
Stupid reply. Obviously I’m not referring to that.
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.

The BBC would like to know your location.
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.
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.
Oh they’d be 20 times louder with the hate if it was a dude and a fleshlight.
That’s brilliant!!
Sam is the best
What’s the point of having a Horga’hn if you don’t display it.
Nothing wrong with it but still embarrassing
Thousands of sensitive alpha males suddenly feel inadequate.
In the search for a mate, it’s important to set certain expectations early on.
A BWC on BBC.
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?

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.

At ALL times!
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.
However normal reminder, don’t put anything in backgrounds that you don’t want screen capped and sent first to your colleagues and subsequently to the world. Aka passwords, pin numbers, phone numbers, notes, org charts, technical artefacts or business sensitive information (including whiteboards)
Girthy little guy, isn’t he?
At least it wasn’t stereotypically black
Black goes with everything and hides stains better than lighter colors.
It should have been. This is the BBC after all.
Power move
I’d totally do this on purpose
As did they.
Simultaneously a threat and an incentive!
Assert dominance by showing everyone your dildo on live TV.
Absolute power move.
