    Jeffrey Toobin who is the legal analyst for the New Yorker and CNN was suspended yesterday for masturbating during a Zoom call with New Yorker reporter Jane Mayer and other colleagues. Mayer was very involved with #MeToo stories along with Ronan Farrow. Toobin has said he made a stupid mistake and didn't realize the others could see him.

    I'm posting the Fox News story because it gives more detail than the the CNN story. Noticed too that Fox news can't resist bringing up Brett Kavanaugh.

    New Yorker's Jane Mayer on Zoom where colleague Jeffrey Toobin accused of masturbating: report
    The New Yorker writer penned multiple Brett Kavanaugh stories

    The New Yorker’s Jane Mayer ended up in the midst of another #MeToo-related scandal on Monday, but this time, instead of reporting others' accusations, Mayer was reportedly herself exposed to colleague Jeffrey Toobin’s X-rated Zoom virtual workplace disaster.

    Vice broke the story on Monday that Toobin -- who is also a CNN legal pundit -- was allegedly caught masturbating during a Zoom meeting in front of several colleagues, including Mayer.

    “Two people who were on the call told VICE separately that the call was an election simulation featuring many of the New Yorker's biggest stars: Jane Mayer was playing establishment Republicans... Toobin playing the courts,” Vice’s Laura Wagner wrote.

    Mayer has been colleagues with Toobin when she joined the New Yorker in 1995. There, the now-suspended journalist made a name for himself writing about the O.J. Simpson trial for the prestigious magazine.

    Mayer declined comment about the Toobin incident when asked by Fox News and referred us instead to a New Yorker spokesperson.

    The New Yorker didn’t immediately respond to our questions, either, including whether Mayer or others reported the alleged incident to management, or if the magazine will take any additional precautions to protect participants on Zoom going forward.

    Mayer, along with #MeToo champion Ronan Farrow, famously penned a widely criticized 2018 piece that detailed sexual misconduct allegations against Brett Kavanaugh, who was a Supreme Court nominee at the time.

    Mayer has worked alongside Farrow on multiple #MeToo stories, co-writing a bombshell about former New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman in addition to several Kavanaugh features.

    She wrote separate articles about the FBI ignoring Kavanaugh’s former classmates, confusion around the investigation of Kavanaugh, as well as detailing 30-year old sexual misconduct claims made against Kavanaugh.
    Mayer was criticized in 2019 when she published an article that attempted to rehabilitate the image of former Democratic Sen. Al Franken, who stepped down in 2017 at the height of the #MeToo movement following a wave of sexual misconduct allegations against him that ranged from groping to forcibly trying to kiss women.

    Mayer defended Franken and criticized his female accuser, raising eyebrows for the different approach she took compared to her other #MeToo-related features.

    Maybe he didn't hear "election simulation" perfectly clearly and thought his team was suggesting something else.

    So did he mistakenly mute the mic instead of turning off video and then hook it to his coworkers? Or did he have a dual screen and open another website?

    He misread his calendar when it said "All hands on deck meeting"

    ...then thought, "sure, why not?"

    There's only one defense for this...

    According To Science Men Should Masturbate 21 Times A Month

    Posted on May 22, 2019, 7 p.m.

    The topic is generally the brunt of jokes and gets many laughs in movies and comedy routines, but a new study is highlighting a serious side: Frequent masturbation may significantly reduce a man’s risk of prostate cancer.

    According to Harvard University researchers men who have 21+ orgasms a month could reduce their odds of prostate cancer by 33%; researchers concluded that more frequent rates of masturbation were associated with lower rates of prostate cancer.

    31,925 men were surveyed regarding how often they engaged in self love, tracking the participants for 18 years recording which men developed prostate cancer; men were assessed the year before the questionnaire, when they were in their 20s, and again when they were in their 40s.

    This is not the first study to find regular climaxes can help keep a man’s family jewel area healthy, but it is the first to come up with an actual solo sex quota. Despite all of the research experts don’t fully understand why orgasms are important to better health. Ejaculation is believed to help flush out toxins and bacteria which build up in the prostate...

    Used to probably be about 14 times a month back in my hayday. Now it's like 7 with being married. Once you get that steady supply of sex, it (not my penis 4 real) goes down in frequency per month. Ifyaknowwhatimean.
