"Prehistoric sex toys are kind of hard to look at - I keep getting thrown out of the museum after trying to get hands on experience with them"

Right up there with "they were roomates".

“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.

Would it help if it was described as a "religious experience"?

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

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?

F in the chat for all the improvised fleshlights that did not survive the march of time. Not even an ancient cum sock.

Probably made out of squishy animal bits instead of the bones.

If you drew eyes on them, any of the lady image could become characters in a Ghibli movie.

Well if they were soft to look at, they wouldn't be much use would they?

Looking at those all day is enough to break anyone.

Why are they circumsized? Surely it would have been less work to leave the stone foreskin uncut.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Because our ancestors didn't get up their own ass about buzzwords.

They got up their own ass about manhood rites instead.

[–] CrazyLikeGollum@lemmy.world 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

If the tools on display in the article are anything to go by, there is a distinct possibility they just got up their own ass.

[–] Num10ck@lemmy.world 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

shouldn't they have flared bases?

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 0 points 4 days ago

Well, none of them are still alive, that should be a hint

[–] glilimith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 3 days ago

I suspect many of the uncut ones are less obvious and thus may have had their purpose misidentified. Also, it's unclear if these are cut or merely retracted

[–] Zugyuk@lemmy.world 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I love it when adverts get placed next to dildos 🤣

collapsed inline media

Wtf is up with humanity's primordial fascination with cut dicks?

[–] JamesBoeing737MAX@sopuli.xyz 0 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

It's hard to cut body parts intricately. Idk.
