Artist Paul McCarthy has unveiled his latest work, and it kinda looks like a sex toy.

The installation, dubbed Tree, went on display today at the Place Vendome in Paris.

Let’s not beat around the bush (raunchy pun intended) – it resembles a giant butt plug.

Here’s the real thing, just in case you had no idea that there’s an entire booming market based around objects to insert in your anus. Welcome to the party.

The world has reacted predictably.
