Dildo spotted on Humpty Doo road

Humpty Doo residents spotted sex toys on a rural road, with one industry expert suggesting it may be a prank gone wrong. See the photo.

Thieves steal $120K of sex toys

Baking in the heat, there’s a dildo on the street.

Humpty Doo residents were treated to the phallic encounter on Pioneer Rd on the May Day public holiday.

Bridie Morley snapped a shot of the flesh-like sex toy, saying she had to do a double-take to confirm the mysterious object was in fact a dildo.

“I wasn’t sure if I believed my eyes and thought I should double check to see if it was real,” Ms Morley said.

“There’s never a dull moment in this street.

“Later that afternoon I drove past again and the dildo was gone but there was a black butt plug on the side of the road instead.

“I didn’t stop because at that stage I thought it was a stitch up and someone was filming.”

Sexyland manager Kayla Vegera said although silicone sex toys were generally durable products, the hot bitumen of Humpty Doo was not the right place to store them.

“If they’re left in a cool place they do well,” Ms Vegera said.

“But once they start getting mistreated they go downhill very fast.

“If it’s a fleshy type of silicone it will melt quickly if left in the sun.”

Ms Vegera said the dildo could retail for between $100-160, and hypothesised a possible explanation for the unusual situation.

“Someone who paid for it wouldn’t just throw it out the window of a car,” she said.

“My guess is someone has stuck it to a car as a prank and it has since fallen off.

“Being the only adult store in the Top End it could be from us.”

It is not the first time sex toys have been discarded in the streets of the Darwin region, with a dildo found on Dick Ward Drive en route to Fannie Bay back in 2019.
