Anyone who thinks sex toys are modern day inventions will be suprised by the discovery of a 30,000-year-old dildo at a German archeaological site. Of course this vulva knows that many ancient cultures weren't as hung up on sex as we are, and there are plenty of ancient artifacts to prove that?just take a look at the gaping vagina of the Sheila na Gigs found over church doorways, or the gigantic breasts of the Venus of Willendorf figurines. This discovery of what was obviously a well-used dildo (it was sculpted and polished) might make the conservatives blush, but it just goes to show you that sex toy play is as old and as natural as mother nature herself!I'm really amused by the part of the story that describes how the scientists had discovered 13 fragments of the dildo some time ago but were missing that final piece. Can you imagine their delight and satisfaction after finally finding the 14th piece?!Of course, today you don't have carve up rocks to satisfy your carnal urges. Depending on your tastes, you can play with a rock hard dildo made of glass or acrylic, or try something a little softer like silicone.
