Was browsing Rightmove and found what might be a wank room.
Tell me what you think!

YANBU- It’s a wank room
YABU- It’s purely innocent vintage decor in a bathroom

Probably a woman chose that wallpaper, people often choose something a bit different for the cloakroom, it's the one room you can get away with it

KrisAkabusi · 12/01/2024 16:37

Yeah, you're on your own with this one OP.

MillicentRogers · 12/01/2024 16:38

My ex step daughter had that wallpaper or very similar on the wall behind her bed when she was 15/16. She had large pictures of Marilyn Monroe and an Audrey Hepburn one on other walls.

There certainly wasn't anything seedy going on!

Says a lot about you that you would even think that!

I am wondering if perhaps I might have a bit of residual repugnance over the mixture of a bathroom with sexualised images of women in it stemming from finding lads mags in the downstairs loos of so many families I babysat for as a teenager.

Confused surely anyone wanting to fap one out would just watch porn on their phone, rather than fantasise over their toilet wallpaper.

OutFromUnderYou · 12/01/2024 16:41

I don't think I know any man whose go-to person for a wank is Marilyn Monroe!

It's tacky wallpaper but not porn.

You weirdo 🤣

Unless they are old school and prefer the pre-phone low tech way of looking at pinup photos?

A wank room? You are seriously strange for even thinking this never mind asking opinions.

I was wondering if it was a normal reaction to seeing the photo on Rightmove.

Does it appear on the floorplan as WC or WR?

mrssanchez · 12/01/2024 16:44

My neighbours used to have this on one wall in their living room, I'm looking at them in a whole new light now..! Confused

A trad wank room. Yeah, they exist.

OverTheGrip · 12/01/2024 16:44

My DD had this paper on one of her bedroom walls when she was a teen

ru53 · 12/01/2024 16:45

OP you are quite naive if you think black & white wallpaper of a fully clothed Marilyn Monroe is equivalent to porn in this day & age

Indeedindeed24 · 12/01/2024 16:46

I would have loved this when I was teen having a Marilyn phase.

The question is what kind of people were you babysitting for who left jazz mags out on the bathroom counter like it was Reader's Digest?! Or were you snooping in cupboards, OP?

Funnywonder · 12/01/2024 16:46

I reckon it's just someone who likes Marilyn Monroe. Hell, I like Marilyn Monroe and I'm female. I used to have a couple of posters and a beautiful calendar when I was younger.

NeverDropYourMooncup · 12/01/2024 16:46

Can't be a wank room.

That wallpaper's not washable...

This⬆ you are odd to think that.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 12/01/2024 16:47

In the late 70s friends of my parents had a spare room which was decoupaged with cut outs from Play Boy/ Naked women from mags ,we used to have sleep overs there regularly as they were good family friends -quite the eye opener for a 10 year old! The above is just a MM loo.

AmandaHoldensLips · 12/01/2024 16:25

This is actually a wallpaper and it's up in our local village hairdressers!

Do they have a problem with people going in for a wank?

FLOWER1982 · 12/01/2024 16:48

No. My lovely very camp friend would love this. His house is decorated throughout similarly with pop art pictures.

Its more used for same purpose than equivalent.
