Dildos

The oldest sex toy ever found was a stone dildo dated to around 26,000 years ago. But how prevalent was the use of sex toys in ancient civilizations? It seems “very” is the answer. A fabulous account coming from Egypt tells us that Cleopatra was the first ever to use a vibrator. Not satisfied with the usual dildo, Cleopatra was said to have a vibrator made using a hollow gourd filled with live bees. Though the veracity of this tale may be debatable, it’s well known that Egyptians were into their toys.
The ancient Greeks and Romans also liked their dildos and even put some effort into improving them. Finding that the texture of wood or stone dildos wasn’t real enough, they had leather sheaths put on them to better simulate the feeling of an actual penis. These leather-sheathed dildos (known as olisbos) were so popular that, in the play Lysistrata, the Greek women staged a sex strike to end the Peloponnesian War partly because they could no longer import good leather dildos. If a leather-sheathed dildo didn’t do the trick, the ancient Greeks simply baked loaves of really hard bread called olisbokollikes and used those instead.
