Intimacy Aids Have a Rich History
Author: Ron Mark  | Posted: 22-11-2007 | Comments: 0 | Views: 15 | Rating: (50)  (?) 
Dildos have been made since ancient times, they possibly originated in Asia, and certainly some have been found to be 12,000 years and recently a tomb was uncovered from the Han Dynasty in Xian, China that had a collection of seven dildos cast in bronze. The Chinese constructed them as works of art as well as a sex toy; they were made of ivory, and sometimes encrusted with jewels, to accentuate a change of texture and pressure.
The ancient Greeks called them olisbos, (???sß??) and the city of Miletus was famous for heir manufacture, they were wood or leather phallic shaped, penetrative sex toys, either for the vagina or anus or both. They were and are extremely popular because they are cheap and can give equal pleasure to both men and women. No wonder Olive oil was so highly prized by the Greeks and the Romans. They are the ideal sex toy versatile for use by a couple, of the same sex, or not and individual use.
According to legend another famous manufacturing town for dildo’s was the town of Dildo in Newfoundland; reputedly the sailors carved their dildos out of whalebone.
Archaeologists tend to stress that they were designed for use in fertility rites, and maybe they were, but their shape certainly means that their first use was definitely pleasurable. Dildos are not always phallic though of course most are, but the sheer versatility of dildos make them very popular today. They are made of glass, leather, jelly, or PVC.
Besides being used for pleasure, dildos were popular in ancient deflowering ceremonies. Sometimes they were attached to statues; ancient Greek women used the Greek god, Priapus, portrayed with an erect stone penis, to pierce their hymen, so that they enjoyed a greater level of sexual satisfaction during their first time. The world’s oldest dildo is a siltstone phallic model, which is 20 centimeters in length to be technical, it dates from the Upper Palaeolithic period or 30,000 years ago, it was excavated from a cave in Germany.
Another extremely versatile and cheap sex toy is the cock ring; it is generally sold as a sex aid for men. It works by constricting the flow of blood in the shaft of the penis; this makes the erect penis harder and bigger and keeps it that way for longer. It increased blood flow to the penis heightens sensation for the man and delays orgasm, which when it comes is much more intense. Cock rings are sold as a sex toy for men, but I have never heard a women complain. Women can get very used to a fuller penis!
Men can use cock rings with their partners or for masturbation, and as the name suggest they sometime are a ring made of metal or rubber. A word of caution, the cock rings that are rings are not adjustable, therefore it is important to get one that fits. If they are difficult to remove, they will cut off the circulation to the penis.
Cock rings are designed to fit over the shaft of the penis, and the testicles when the man is not erect. The testicles like the animals in the ark are fed through one by one, and the penis is then placed through remaining ring place headfirst. Some men find they are easier to use with a lubricant. Cock ring virgins often find that the ones made of a leather strap are easier to use, as they work like an adjustable belt, they have holes to fit the girth; they are easier to use and more manageable, also there is less danger of your penis getting stuck.
Priapism is the medical term for a prolonged erection, and if you have an erection for several hours, the blood coagulates in the penis. Whilst this may sound fun, it is in fact extremely painful, as new blood cannot enter the penis; it can in certain circumstances damage the erectile tissue permanently, it is a condition, which requires medical treatment.
Despite the caution, they are fun and they guarantee that men will increase the level of sexual satisfaction, and the chances are your partner won’t complain either.
