Archaeologists have uncovered what could be a rare example of an ancient sex toy carved from wood, found in a Roman fort known for a plethora of phallic motifs.

The object was initially discovered in 1992 and rather innocently assumed to be a darning tool. But researchers are now pretty sure that it is actually a disembodied penis.

Apart from a carved line at the tip that looks suspiciously like the appendage's glans, the wooden object is quite smooth, which suggests it made routine, rubbing contact with another surface.

 

"We know that the ancient Romans and Greeks used sexual implements – this object from Vindolanda could be an example of one," says archaeologist Rob Collins from Newcastle University in England.

"Use may not have been exclusively sexual or for the pleasure of the user," they explain.

The ancient dildo may not have even been used for penetration. In fact, the signs of wear on the object's exterior might support clitoral stimulation better.

Researchers say the artifact shows "perceptibly greater wear at either end compared to its middle".

This seems to align with signs of wear on a 2,000-year-old bronze dildo found in China, although experts say it's hard to compare the patterns between such old artifacts.

Although the wooden phallus from ancient Rome is "simple in form", researchers suspect it was created by the hand of a confident artist, a practiced practitioner of penises, if you will.

Quintessence of Gagadaily. Some would believe that you would find here only Gaga-related content and some candids and yet you can learn things like that. :air: :air: :air:

Sugar, spice, and everything nice.

Sex toys have always been very common. Wooden ones like this would have been covered in something like olive oil by the Romans or Greeks to be used as lube.

I am so glad to be informed about this. I used to feel awkward with myself because I also use wooden stuff as **** sex toys and realizing that people from thousands of years have done this too makes me feel better :D

Did they have some sort of wax or polish? Splinters…

Yeah, it would have been polished. The wood was also has an especially smooth feel according to the info posted so its possible that it has not completely worn off.

I can't tell if you are just joking but nobody would be getting infection by using a personal sex toy or getting dookie from something that goes inside the vagina.
