The mystery of a sex chamber found in an old military bunker in the woods of northern Sweden on Friday, has been solved by a woman who has explained that it was "one of her most sacred places".
"I just wanted to test my limits," the woman told the Aftonbladet newspaper.
Two fisherman found the old disused bunker complete with silk-sheet laden bed, ropes, dildos and leather items while out walking in the woods on Friday afternoon.
Reports of the find prompted the woman to get in touch with Aftonbladet in order to clear up the misunderstanding.
Described as "a hard-working, single mum in her forties", the woman explained that she had equipped the bunker for a night of lust with a man whom she had dated a couple of times.
But after her would be beau had missed her text message invite, she ended up spending the night alone in what she described as "one of her most sacred places".
The woman however explained that some of her neighbours in the small rural community of Nordmaling in Sweden's far north had expressed shock at the find.
"I think it is because many are afraid. Sweden is not really such a free country when it comes to sexuality," she told Aftonbladet, while conceding that she would make sure to tidy up after herself next time.

The discovery of a double-headed sex toy mistaken for a mystical rare fungus brought national notoriety to a Chinese village and TV program this week.
Villagers from Liucunbu, a rural community outside western Chinese city of Xi'an, encountered the sex toy while drilling a new well shaft. Hard-pressed to identify the flexible, fungi-like object, perplexed residents alerted the local news station, which immediately sent reporter Yunfeng Ye to the scene.
In her coverage of the finding, broadcast last Sunday on the station's investigative journalism program Xi'an Up Close, Ye thoroughly probed different aspects of the discovery, interviewing locals and inserting her own research on the alleged mushroom. Despite Ye's earnest reporting, her and the villagers' obliviousness of the object's real identity has now lent itself to national amusement.
The report opens with Ye proclaiming the discovery of the mysterious object, the likes of which "not even an 80-year-old local man has seen." Villagers crouch around the object, floating innocently in a water-filled bucket. "It has an eye and a nose, but we don't know what it is," says a man who was among the drillers who discovered the sex toy.
Describing the object's qualities in explicit detail, Ye and the villager determine that it is a type of lingzhi, a shelf fungus of the Ganoderma lucidum species, which according to legend has the ability to give immortality. Asserting that the mushroom is rarely seen because it grows underground, she says, "When the Emperor Qin Shi Huang [the First emperor of China] was on the hunt for the secret to longevity, it is said he discovered this lingzhi was the answer."
After the program aired, many viewers immediately recognized the object as a sex toy modeled after female genitalia, and online video of the report gained millions of views overnight. While the video received many comments lauding the station's and villagers' "purity," the day after the program aired the Xi'an news station posted an apology on Sina Weibo, a Chinese blogging website.
"Our program last night made everyone laugh," the apology said, expressing regret for an "uncomfortable and misleading" report. "Our reporter is very young and sheltered."
3 users laughed. The question is: Are they laughing with you, or at you?:
Oh my god, the part where they are measuring it... too funny!
Probably the end of that poor young girl's reporting career, though. How embarrassing for her.
But I have to say,
with the rubbery movement and the moldy looking texture, that is one really nasty looking sex toy. It does indeed look like a slimy mushroom. Which just happens to have a vagina. Ew.

I was going to post a link here in response, but the article is really interesting rather than funny so I put it in a new thread. The Internal Clitoris
