This is squarely on the military personnel ordering buttplugs to their work address.
If you did that anywhere else you'd get in trouble.
I'm self-employed, so the address isn't the problem, but I'd have some splainin to do to the wife.
"I KNOW you didn't order that for ME, so you got something to tell me?"
Why wouldn't you order them for your wife? Does already have some?
Been married a long time, lost that battle long, long ago, before the turn of the century.
This is to their home address. Where do you think they live?
Why would I get in trouble for shipping myself something to my work address?
Lots of cities have porch pirates, so shipping to work is done commonly.
Does your work xray packages?
my understanding was military mail gets opened by censors.
No, I wouldn't work for an evil employer
They practically only have a work address when they're overseas. In some cases it's literally the only way to get things sent to you. Why anyone knows or cares is another question entirely.
I read a previous article about this: importing any sex toys (including butt plugs, but they get the headline because of Republicans being squeamish about the existence of gay soldiers) are illegal in the country where they are stationed, so they're getting seized by customs and it's awkward since their soldiers are violating local laws.
Because as a queer bisexual man, I can assure you republicans care more about the genitals of other people than we do.
they are quite obsessed with gay sex, and trans people.
And they have the search history to prove it
And the DoSing of Grindr to prove it.
High chance it was a "friend" ordering it for them.
My initial thought was that this is an attempt at a prank (not a very good one) between two military members.
Why do you think it isn't a good prank?
Too much of a pain in the ass.
Add more lube.
Then it's not enough of a prank.
Its somewhat homophobic in a "Hurr Durr, you are gay and like to take it up the butt" way. Plus the general stigma around men using sex toys.
