Sex Toys

Did you know that sex toys can be dated back around to 500 BC? They were called Olisbos, and were a very early version of the dildo. They were sold around the Mediterranean as "sexual refuges" for lonely ladies.

The secret to a happy love life and that is Sex Toys a great tool for your bedroom tool box.

The vibrator was originally debuted in 1869. It was developed by American physician, George Taylor M.D. This was an enormous steam powered machine. Dr Taylor design it to treat what was called back then “female hysteria”

However, since it was the Victorian era, women were not considered to be at all sexual and it was therefore deemed a disease. Physicians of that era treated hysteria by massaging sufferers’ vulvas until they experienced dramatic relief through "paroxysm" (orgasm).

British physician Joseph Mortimer designed a battery operated vibrator in 1882. It was much smaller than the one Dr Taylor manufactured and came with attachments similar to those that come with todays vibrators. The different attachments allowed the doctors to vary the sensations his device produced.

Granville however did not want his design used in this manner and promoted it as a massage device for men.

Between 1900 and 1920 the "home" vibrator starts to gain popularity. Most homes now had electricity and the plug-in vibrator was one of the first electric home appliances.

1921 Saw the first vibrator advertisement aimed at men. Published in a 1921 issue of Heart’s magazine, it exhorted men to buy vibrators for their wives as Christmas gifts to keep them "young and pretty" and free from the scourge of hysteria. The Late 1920’s Vibrators appear more prominently in porn — not as "massagers," but as masturbation aids. One movie, The Widow’s Delight, showed a well-dressed matron at her front door bidding good night to her equally dashing suitor. After rejecting a kiss, she races off to her bedroom, where she strips down to her underwear, grabs her vibrator and finishes off her evening.

This is just a small sample of the history of the sex toy. Oh how times have changed! From the early days of using a piece of polished wood and lots of olive oil, to having the freedom to walk into an adult store and purchase the toy of your choice. I wonder what the men and women of a hundred years ago would think of our ability to purchase these products at our whim and need?

The only way to get you and your partner of try Sex Toys a great tool for your bedroom tool box.
