The term olisbos , which means slip or slide, is the name that in ancient Greece was given to the phallic-shaped stone, leather or wood contraption that women impregnated in olive oil to practice the art of self-love. The dildo of all life, since Prehistory. In the year 2005 German scientists discovered in the cave Hohle Fels (Germany) which, as of this writing, can be considered the oldest dildo in history. It is a perfectly polished stone phallus about twenty centimeters long -the standard measure in my town- that would be about 28,000 years old.
In the play Lysistrata , Aristophanes he calls them “comforters of widows ” and in Rome they had a certain role on the wedding night. Before the spouses were left alone to consummate their marriage, which was nothing more than a simple private contract between the parties, the mother of the bride had everything necessary under the bed so that there would be no setbacks:a jar of honey for that the groom would not faint, a powerful aphrodisiac like mint and a wooden image of the god Priapus -always represented with a huge erect phallus- in case the dreaded trigger was produced. So ingrained was the belief in the aphrodisiac properties of mint that in times of war it was forbidden to plant mint seeds and make concoctions with it. Men should focus on “making war and not love “. In the Satyricon , the olisbos were used as instruments of torture:they were smeared with pepper and inserted through the anus.
In other latitudes, dildos were made of materials more… let's say, more… well, more… in the Middle East they were made with dried camel dung coated with a resin. And in Egypt, legend has it that fiery Cleopatra was the one who made the leap from dildo to vibrator. In the absence of batteries or electricity, her dildo vibrated in a “natural” way:living bees would get into a dry, hollow gourd and flutter around, causing the vibration (Don't try this at home! And if you do, choose a proper gourd and make sure the bees can't get out of it). From her ardor it would be enough to remember that her contemporaries called her "the open-mouthed" and "the mouth of ten thousand men".
To put an end to sex toys, and according to what Alicia Misrahi tells us in her book “ In my house or in yours:confessions of a tuppersex ”…
Penis rings were invented in China. The first were made from goat eyelids with the lashes intact. They increased men's erections, while the lashes gave women pleasure in their most sensitive areas.
