Believe it or not, sex toys have been around much longer than you think. The history of sex toys isn’t something that has been widely studied, and as a result there is little information. However, the earliest known dildo was recently discovered in Germany and is believed to date back to the Palaeolithic age, which is approximately 28,000 years ago.
The stone was highly polished, carved in a lengthy phallic shape and found amongst a number of personal care items which led researchers to believe that this was a product used for sexual pleasure.
