Or is this a wank room?

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

Are you OK?

It's some very famous photographs of a fully-clothed Hollywood Golden Age icon, not a naked porn star with her legs open. Calm down.

YABVU. I would be very surprised if a man (especially a straight man) chose that wallpaper.

SaladFingerz · 12/01/2024 16:53

The 1950's called OP, it wants its wanking material back ...

Mirabai · 12/01/2024 16:53

It’s much more likely to be a woman or gay man to choose that wallpaper.

I thought you were talking about Mumsnet.

It is in the ladies loos at loads of restaurants and pubs
Cant say that I have noted any Harry met Sally exclamations when I have been in there

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

Er, I think this thread is saying no Confused
plus it is probably a Mumsnetter’s WC

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?

They were in different places. One had a stack on the tank of the toilet. One had a magazine holder - the wood kind that sits on the floor- right next to the loo. Another one had a magazine holder screwed to the wall. I don’t recall any being hidden.

There would be a Country Life or Forbes, but behind that…lads mags.

Its more used for same purpose than equivalent.

Even when these photographs were taken, people weren't really using them for this purpose. They did have men's magazines in those days, you know, and they certainly weren't full of arty monochrome publicity shots of fully dressed women

Lavenderosemary · 12/01/2024 16:57

Yes, a wank room is a thing. Please don't ask me how I know - I still feel unclean from the discovery. #shudder

CarAccident · 12/01/2024 16:57

The other common pub wallpaper is the erotic toile version with doggy style images - I bet that has the OP clutching her pearls

spanishviola · 12/01/2024 16:57

What a gross post.

FuckingHellAdele · 12/01/2024 16:58

I think if I went in there for a wank, I'd have to excuse myself with a headache

It's not.

HTH.

My initial thought was that's a bit claustrophobic
Others may think garish
It takes a more niche mind to think wank room

Okwotnext · 12/01/2024 17:00

Do you mean “wank” as in the act or wank as a judgement on the decor? I.e a room to wank in or a room with wank decor ? Could be either, could be neither, could be both!

I think it is too. I know I’m not normal in other ways so that is ok.

A room set up with wanking in mind.

It's classic, my sister has this wallpaper

Longsight2019 · 12/01/2024 17:03

Comical assumption. And very inaccurate.

LauderSyme · 12/01/2024 17:05

I don't have a penis but isn't it quite tricky to have a wee with a hard on?

(Obviously not everyone turned on by Marilyn will have a penis either).

I hope whoever owns that house doesn't ever see this thread.
