A little history about sex toys
Sex toys have a much longer history than many imagine. Their use dates back thousands of years, across different cultures and civilizations. For example:
-
In ancient Greece and Rome, phallic objects made of stone and other materials have been found, which are believed to have been used as dildos.
-
In the Han Dynasty of China (206 BC – 220 AD), jade dildos existed, which in addition to their sexual function, were associated with health and vital energy.
-
During the 19th century, during the Victorian era, the first electric vibrators emerged, initially designed as medical instruments to treat what was then called “female hysteria.”
Throughout history, sex toys have evolved in materials, shapes, and functions, adapting to technological advances and changes in social perceptions of sexuality. Today, there is a wide variety of erotic toys designed for pleasure, exploration, and sexual well-being, both individually and as a couple.
Conclusion
Sex, in addition to being a source of pleasure, is beneficial for physical and emotional health. Sex toys, far from being a modern invention, have a rich history and have accompanied humanity in its search for pleasure and self-discovery. Talking openly about these topics contributes to a healthier, freer, and more satisfying sex life.
