I can't imagine being this prudish. People have sex. It's okay to make jokes and its okay for them to be about real things that happen.

  > It's okay to make jokes and its okay for them to be about real things that happen. Yes but not in a business context. Quote from a random law firm: “Sexual jokes are not merely inappropriate in the workplace — they can constitute sexual harassment.” Source: https://www.thearmstronglawfirm.com/sexual-harassment/sexual-harassment-sexual-jokes/ https://www.thearmstronglawfirm.com/sexual-harassment/sexual...

    Yes except this is a totally indirect statement not directed at you and is not in the slightest sense vulgar, nor is it even real in the sense that a person is saying it to you. I do wonder how you get on with your life if you find yourself facing a potential sexual harassment case over a product you don't have to use.

      I don't know. If this were a real product and not a joke, the marketing team would suggest putting sex jokes on the homepage, and probably debate which sex joke would get the the most laughs, and why. They might even end up doing surveys to find out if our sex jokes are too raunchy, or just right. If I worked there, and had to listen to a bunch of guys laughing about sex jokes all day, I'd probably feel awkward and left out---even if none of those jokes were directed at me, and only were said in the context of making customers laugh. Disclaimer: I have worked at companies that sold sex toys, and no one made any sex jokes at work, or in our marketing material.

  Depends a lot on your culture. In some countries this would be okay, in others not so much.
