Sexy toys

Since prehistoric times, mankind has used toys for excitement and erotic entertainment. These were priestly symbols and traditional objects of religious cults of temples of love in ancient India . It is known about the use of artificial phalluses in Rome and Greece . The ancient Egyptians used an artificial penis 2500 years ago.

German archaeologists put on display the oldest phallus in the world: its age is estimated at about 28 thousand years. The phallus was discovered by archaeologists excavating in the Hohle Fels cave (literally “Empty Rock”) in southwestern Germany . Its length is 19.2 cm, width is about 4 cm, and weight is 280 g. The penis is carved from stone with a very well polished surface. Such an ancient image of male genital organs in Europe has not yet been found. Apparently, scientists said the sculpture belonged to a Neanderthal man who lived in caves in the south-west of modern Germany. According to them, a stone member could serve as a sexual toy. However, it is also known that the penis in primitive society was a symbol of fertility and procreation (that is, it was worshiped, and not used as a sex toy, see Lingam ).

The idea of ​​a vibrator is attributed to the millers who are seated on the vibrating arms of milling machines. Among the many unique exhibits, a mechanical vibrator stool is displayed at the Sex Museum in New York City ( USA ). Modern vibrators and dildos are much more perfect than their prototypes. The catalog of modern adult sexual aids sold in specialized stores is very diverse. Starting from a variety of models of vibrators, penis rings, vaginal balls, scented massage oils, inflatable dolls, various masturbation appliances to the attributes of BDSM practice and sexy lingerie.

Vibrators

The latter can be used both for women with a wide vagina (for example, when the muscles of the vagina are weakened after childbirth), and simply to enhance sensations during sex. There are decorated anal plugs (for example, in the form of a ponytail, a fox’s tail ^[1] or a rabbit’s tail ^[2] ).

Artificial Vagina and Anus

Rings and nozzles

Nozzles on the penis serve to further stimulate the walls of the vagina and clitoris, which accelerates the onset of orgasm in women.

Erection rings are used to maintain an erection in men with sexual dysfunction. Their action is based on the prevention of rapid outflow of blood due to the tight girth of the base of the penis. Cock rings are made of silicone, there are options with a clitoris stimulator in the form of a soft bump. One of the varieties is the penis nozzle for additional stimulation of the woman’s prevaginal zone and clitoris.

In addition, there are nozzles that prevent the introduction of the full length of the penis, designed for couples in which the length of the penis of a man significantly exceeds the depth of the woman’s vagina. ^[3]

Balls

Vaginal balls are sex toys that serve to strengthen and develop the muscles of the vagina (this is especially true for women after childbirth , whose muscles of the vagina are weakened), as well as to cause additional arousal. Small sized balls, usually made of plastic, are placed in the vagina. Sometimes the balls complement the vibration mechanism. Vaginal balls, unlike most other sex toys, can be used not only in an intimate setting - they are often worn during work, walking, etc.

Vaginal balls first appeared in Japan hundreds of years ago. The traditional ben-va set consists of two hollow shiny metal balls, one of which is partially filled with mercury. Size may vary, but usually are the size of an apricot. Expensive sets are made of silver and even gold, but polished steel is usually used, and today - plastic. A hollow ball is inserted deep into the vagina, followed by a second one filled with mercury. Then the woman lies down or swings in a chair. When she slowly swings her hips, the mercury in the second ball rolls back and forth, constantly pushing the first ball to the cervix. Vibrations are transmitted to the entire vagina, clitoris, labia, and inside the uterus itself.

Anal balls - differ from vaginal balls in that they are placed in the anus. These balls usually have a smaller diameter than the vaginal. There are also combined balls that can be used for both the vagina and the anus.

The dolls have holes and recesses and moisturizing imitating the vagina, anus and mouth (dolls for women have an attached dildo). They can be equipped with additional vibratory stimulators, heaters (for heating the doll to normal human body temperature), lubrication devices and devices for reproducing human speech.

Dolls can be used for masturbation as well as for sex.

Vacuum Pumps

A vacuum pump is a device whose action is based on pumping air out of the exposure zone, as a result of which the external pressure on the penis decreases, which causes a rush of blood into the cavernous bodies and an erection. Vacuum massage increases sensitivity and activity, and often eliminates impotence. Vacuum pumps are divided into male (serve to stimulate the penis) and female (breast and clitoral massagers). It is believed that the history of the creation of vacuum pumps is associated with the observation of an erection in pilots when lifting planes to a great height, where the pressure is much lower than on the surface of the earth.
