Sex toys in the Goop office

Shaun added that staff can sometimes be found trying out sex toys in the office.
“You will find staff sitting at their desk with a bunch of needles in their face or wearing a necklace vibrator while discussing which sex toys gave them the best orgasm that weekend,” he revealed.
