If you've ever thought to yourself, "you know what would go really well with this outfit? A phallic tie," then you're in luck. Looking to fill a hole in the market, the creators of the 'Dick Tie' are fundraising via Kickstarter campaign. If their $900 goal is met, you could be the proud new owner of a 100% silk dick tie in an au naturale shade of pink, a more professional shade of black or a creative pattern.
The Kickstarter campaign page defines the neck-tie and the phallus as hanging objects that portray power, success, wealth, strength, masculinity and sexuality. They see their product as "a glorious combination of the two decidedly commanding objects to form the ultimate dangling participle. A tie with the raw sex appeal and representation of ascendancy to win you success in the bedroom and the boardroom."
However, despite the mention of the boardroom in their definition, I would still classify the dick tie as after-hours attire.
