That’s not what you’re probably worried about.
The object in the photo is a medical instrument called a vaginal speculum. It’s used by healthcare providers during pelvic exams to gently open the vaginal canal so they can see the cervix.
A few important points that might ease your concern:
- These are commonly used tools in gynecology and sometimes kept as old medical equipment, curiosities, or collectibles.
- It doesn’t necessarily mean anything about current behavior—people sometimes keep items like this from past work, education, or even just because they found it interesting or unusual.
If this is surprising or concerning, the most reliable way to understand why it’s there is simply to ask your dad directly.
