Sex Toy Company Erects Public 'Masturbation Booth' In NYC

Trending News: A Sex Toy Company Invited Men To Love Themselves -- In Public

Why Is This Important?

Because we could all use a little stress relief.

Long Story Short

Hot Octopus, the sex toy company who claims to have created the first ever vibrator for men, made a splash in Manhattan when they erected their "GuyFi" booth. The marketing stunt insinuated that hardworking men should take time out of their day to relieve some stress (through masturbation).

Long Story

If you're a guy with a full-time job, there's a decent chance you've rubbed one out at work. At least that's the case according to the studies cited by Hot Octopus, a sex toy company that claims to made the world's first vibrator exclusively for men. To prove their point, Hot Octopus took over an old phone booth in Manhattan and set up what they call "GuyFi," a fancy name for a public jerkoff booth.

"Hot Octopuss has created the GuyFi booth to take this habit out of the office and into a more suitable environment designed to give the busy Manhattan man the privacy, and the high-speed Internet connection, he deserves," the company said in a media release.

According to Mashable, the booth was little more than a phone booth with a black cloth draped over it, with a laptop and chair inside. Hot Octopus told Mashable that about 100 men visited the stunt, but it's unclear whether any of them actually squeezed one off. The company claims that the booth was meant to educate men about the availability of sex toys, and that they didn't encourage anyone to actually love themselves on the street. That would be illegal, curtain or no. Still, I hope someone did, just out of principle.

They have a point, though, in that men are either unaware of the ways they can enjoy sex toys, or intimidated by what's already out there. Sex toys, while maybe not necessary, can seriously up the fun factor in the bedroom. Even for solo use, if the ladies can have a little extra fun, why can't we?
