A spokesman for Portland General Electric told Reuters he did not believe the products posed a hazard – but their origin remains a mystery.

The sex toys appeared overnight on Tuesday, and Portlanders have documented the dildos descending on their city.

One tweeted: “So…help me out here. Are #dildos hanging from electrical wires a Portland thing? Or do people do this everywhere?”

Another added: “Way to go Portland you’ve made my day once again. Dildos on power lines. Priceless.”

Some suspect that the mysterious sex toys are some sort of publicity stunt, but local sex shop She Bop denied any involvement.

The store manager Amory Jane Rogers told Oregon Live: “It’s kind of cute that when people think of dildos, they think of us.”

She added: “At first I thought someone had a breakup and was trying to get rid of an ex’s possessions in a very dramatic way.

“When I heard this was happening in multiple places, I thought it was pretty weird.”
