Ummmm....

https://www.ladbible.com/news/company-offers-employees-masturbation-breaks-with-vr-pods-20220301?source=facebook

An open-minded company is offering its employees the opportunity to masturbate during work hours, and they’ve even ordered custom-built ‘w* pods’ to help them out. 
The unusual work perk has been introduced by Stripchat, an adult website and social network with 200 employees. 
Located within the brand’s Cyprus office, the four high-tech pods will be kitted out with ‘masturbatory accessories’ for the ultimate VR experience, complete with an Oculus Quest VR headset and 4K LED screen to watch the X-rated films. 
After their construction is complete, the custom pods will appear as large black spheres with a chair inside for the user to sit back and relax in.

That’s vile. Actually revolting. Why the fuck does anyone need to wank at work?

Surely this is just advertising for the website?

Imagine that stench when that door lifts.

Well 2 things - 1 hygiene. Who is cleaning these bacteria and dna laden pods. Surely it's a biohazard? Wanky colleagues hands all over the place? Blegh!

2- harassment at work? Creating an unsafe and intimidating environment for women / other genders / sexualities who work there?

I very much hope it is advertising only and not actually true.

Just when you think nothing would surprise you any more, something does. Vile

Strip Chat might be headquartered in Cyprus but it’s a tiny workforce there so I very much doubt it’s for employee use. The pods are probably just there to advertise their app. Most of their proper employees are based in Birmingham, other parts of Europe, or China.

I presume they have done this for advertising/ marketing.

Are the pods unisex? Would there be a booking system or is it 'walk-in'?

Also: yuk.

First of all - it's an advertising ploy, well done.

Secondly, surely the more men self pleasuring, the fewer pestering women, so win win?

Don't you mean "wank-in"?

@FilledSoda what kind of coffee do you drink?

WTF! It's bad enough if you have to announce to colleagues that you need a toilet break. Imagine announcing you're going for a wank break, or the 'knowing looks' you'd get after coming out of one - yuk!

Another adult company pulled this stunt recently, converting an unused telephone booth in downtown Manhattan into a wank booth for passing men.

Cat, who is head of communications and content at the company, said: "Picture this: a team of happy employees with their creative juices flowing and being productive because they've had some time scheduled to make themselves feel good.

It won't be only creative juices that are flowing Envy < not envy!

Wtf- image the looks - where's Bob in the want room!

OK men are either wankers or liers but some things are best kept private

WTF I’d wrong with men that they can’t even wait until they get home. FFS…
