“You can touch your penis anytime you want, in whatever way you want, for as long as you want. But this is a private activity. You do it in your bedroom or in your bathroom with the door closed.”
That’s the advice our boys received from us on the topic. That’s the advice I received from my parents on the topic.
In what is probably at least a partial manifestation of work-at-home complacency and inattention—which, incidentally, I do not offer as an excuse, only as potentially increased comprehension—prominent legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin exposed his penis on a Zoom call.
Now whether or not he was tucking in his shirt, as he claims, there is some awfully questionable judgment here. And Toobin may have been trying to comply with the advice at the top of this post, but well, he wasn’t careful enough, was he?
Guys, you can’t screw this up. You have to be right every time. If you’re not, there are consequences.
Or are we trying to make the world safe for Anthony Weiner again?
