"Last week, a sex toy company called Hot Octopuss converted an unused phone booth at 28th Street and 5th Avenue into its GuyFi chamber of self-love by adding a black privacy curtain, a chair, and a laptop with high-speed Internet. Clearly playing on the buzz about LinkNYC's upgrades to New York's pay phone infrastructure, Hot Octopuss sent out a press release explaining that this was all about health:

---According to Time Out, a remarkable 39% of New Yorkers "self-soothe" in the workplace to alleviate stress. 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 reported that at least 100 men used the booth on its opening day last week. Of course, public masturbation is illegal—and a rep from Hot Octopuss told Mashable, "We may be insinuating that these booths could be used in whichever way anyone would like to 'self soothe,' [but] the brand is not actively encouraging people to masturbate in public as that is an illegal offense." No word on how fast the Internet connection was, or whether there would be any efforts to help women "self soothe" at a rate equal to men in the workplace.

Holy crap. Who is going to clean that thing?

I recently listened to a podcast about the porn since 2008 when it became free. I thought I read a lot and was aware of trends in the world but obviously I didn't get the memo. This GuyFi thing is just an extension. Anyway, link here https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/audible/the-butterfly-effect-with-jon-ronson

As dagny asked ... the cleanliness? Ewww.

Bullwinkle attended WhatsamattaU Were he to return to college, he could attend WhatsaspattaU.

Maybe you have to provide your own sock?

I wonder if there's a time limit?

Time limit? I understand a round of applause could be heard as one of the men exiting the booth took as long as 15 minutes.
