Once shared online, it did not take long for the post to go viral and trigger a plethora of reactions online.

While many were amused, others shared similar such incidents that have happened before. However, many also discussed whether the object was a sex toy or a novelty item.

There’s no way this wasn’t purposeful

I think it’s cruel to to humiliate a private person like this in front of your large public following

I had a conference call with a very senior member of the cabinet and realised afterwards I had a 3D printed golden clitoris on the bookcase behind me.

My wife is a therapist specialising in psychosexual therapy. I don’t think anyone on the call knew what it was.
