Whoever coined the phrase ‘Sex Sells’ obviously had no idea that those words would become a call to action for furniture manufacturers all over the world to create something provocative, yet profitable. And one of those companies, London-based Monsby, is leaning into this spirit by creating a line of lamps that look like they should be hidden within someone’s sock drawer instead of plastered along their walls. And for the low, low price of $500.00 you too can own something that will make visitors wonder if you’ve got a little too disposable income by plastering illuminated dicks all over your domicile.
Now, before you whip out your credit cards to purchase every Boner Lamp that Monsby has to offer, just know that they pride themselves for living at the intersection of functionality and art. The fact that the art they chose to present is in the form of multicolored penises is purely coincidental. However, Queerty reports Monsby knows what they’re doing since, much like the lamp’s inspiration, you need to rub on it to make sure it gets turned on correctly.
Once the light is plugged in and *ahem* well hung from your wall, all you have to do is gently pull down on the stretchy pinky fabric to reveal the full bulb, which then turns itself on. If only everything were this easy!
Though Monsby plays it straight in their tweet, referring to the piece simply as a “new lamp,” it didn’t take long for Twitter to grab hold of its protruding allusion. In the replies, folks were quick to point out what the lamp reminds them of and where they’d like to put it (in their homes, we presume!).

Luckily, Monsby offers the lamp in other colors besides pink. So if that’s not your thing you can also get it in colors such as blue and green to satisfy your kinky Smurf and Hulk fantasies (hey, I don’t judge). But please remember that these lamps are meant for ACTUAL walls. Don’t plug this up thinking it’s going to bring you to new realms of pleasure unless the realm you’re looking for is at your local Emergency Room.
