The History of Sex Toys

If you are thinking that sex toys exist only in recent years due to our liberalness, read on and we will prove you wrong. Look at the history of sex toys and you will realize that sex toys is not exclusive only to people of our time.

Condoms

Condoms existed during the year 1564. The Black Death wiped out millions of people and as the survivors were recuperating from the aftermath, the need for sexual pleasure arises but to eliminate the fear of death, condom was invented by Gabriele Fallopio. The first version of condom was just a linen sheath soaked in chemicals and dried later. It was claimed that no Syphilis cases were recorded in a trial using more than one thousand volunteers. The name Fallopian tube was derived from his name. He was also the man who had invented condoms.

Hysteria

Hysteria is referred to sexual dysfunction in women particularly only after mid-19th century. But the actual development of this medical condition is traced two thousand years before the nineteenth century where this was referred to the lack of bodily fluids. This was treated by orgasm. Today, sex toys are used to treat this medical condition with vibrators or water sprays.

The Blow Up Dolls

Blow Up Dolls is not new. This invention was first made by the homesick French sailors and it was known as Dame de Voyage. The name pretty much suggests that it was used by sailors on voyage. After rubber has been discovered, the model was re-invented to become inflatable dolls. Later, there came another version that was able to ‘imitate ejaculation’ and this was spotted on Parisian catalogues.

Butt Plugs

What make us think that butt plugs were not around in the 18th century when the Kama Sutra existed way before the 19th century! This device was actually made as a cure for piles. It was serving its purposes as a medical device.

The Vibrator

The Vibrators that can be found in almost every Singapore sex toys shop, are actually invented to cure female hysteria! Believe it or not, back then, this medical condition in women was treated by professional doctors by rubbing their private areas until the patient climax! Later, this doctors’ job was taken over by vibrator that was steam-powered. During that point, women were going crazy about them as it was one of the best sexual stimulator.

The Penis Ring

Chinese created it first using goat’s eyelids! Being under the Chinese noble reign, men were expected to have children and they would probably have to step down if they don't. With that in mind, sexual relationship can be pretty stressful. So to help them overcome this issue, a penis ring was invented using goat’s eyelids that help the user to impregnate their women!

The Geisha Balls

The actual origin of Kegel balls is not known but it was recorded to have been used during 500 AD for the male's pleasure. This device was also highly favoured by women and the popularity sky-rocketed! The Geisha balls were famous across the Asian cultures and countries particularly in the East and were used to help people gain sexual pleasure.

Penis Enlargement

Yes, even this existed back then! About when did this practice started? It was obtained from the sex bible, Kama Sutra. It was stated that penis can be enlarged by rubbing it with wasp stingers. It works technically and equates the results you get by using enlargement cream.
