“fertility totems”, surely, “for religious or ceremonial uses”.

Maybe the uses were only masturbating oneself to orgasm with them, though it must be noted that this was done as solemn, mystical propitiation to fertility gods, rather than purely for sexual gratification.

I mean, if I'm busy all week a-huntin' and a-gatherin' I'd make a ceremony of it too. Didn't even have Instagram to scroll, so why not luxuriate?
