Dildos
The dildo commonly known as a non vibrating sex toy has been around as long as
we have in one form or another.
There is evidence of people from all cultures using solid objects for sexual
pleasure.
People used stone and animal bones in some early cultures.
The early man made dildos were made of wood although the Japanese made some
very artistic dildos from ivory and some of these examples can be found in
the Amsterdam sex museum.
The word dildo originally referred to the phallus-shaped peg used to lock an oar in position on a small boat .It would be inserted into a hole on the side of the boat, and is very similar in shape and function to the ones used today. It is likely the toy takes its name from the sailing tool, which also lends its name to the town of Dildo and nearby Dido Island in Newfoundland, Canada.
Today dildos come in a variety of materials sizes and textures .Another design is the double dildo made twice as long as a standard dildo can be used for double penetration or a couple sharing.
