History of Anal Sex Toys

The history of anal sex toys is a storied one that started in times long before the birth of modern culture. As long as 30,000 years ago did people feel the urge to put objects up their anuses. The evidence of this is seen through many works of arts like carvings in walls that prove that anal sex toys were indeed used.

The first true evidence of anal sex toys in history is with the Greeks which isn’t surprising knowing how open their beliefs in sexuality were. Men would actually give their wives dildos (then known as olisbos) as sex toys. These wives used them while their husbands were away fighting one of the many wars during that era.

In addition to the Greek men giving their women olisbos to comfort loneliness, they also used them for other purposes such as homosexual relations since they knew of the prostate gland that they had to pleasure themselves. These early dildos did the trick since many men and woman were satisfied with these anal sex toys.

The first sign of lube for anal sex toys in history was found in an unusually place: olive oil. Olive oil was used to cover the dildos for an easier penetration into the anus. This was the birth of all types of lubes, specifically oil-based lube, in sexual play.

Next in the history of anal sex toys came the invention of penis extensions in order to enhance homosexual relations by making the man’s penis looking bigger. The first of these was found in the Indian book Kama Sutra. These nifty anal sex toys soon made their way around the world to enhance anal sex for all.

After the birth of Christ, the openness of anal sex toys in Christian countries became sinful. This dark period in history made dildos and other anal sex toys of the era became hidden and discreet. Brothel houses where sexual favors were provided had these toys in the Middle Ages, but it cost you to get the true pleasure only an anal sex toy can give you.

These brothel houses made leather popular since they found leather to be the best for anal sex toys in the Middle Ages. They are even used today since that form of bondage still turns many people on. Later forms of bondage and BSDM were found in more modernized brothel houses in the 18th century.

A century later, in 1844, rubber made its first appearance in anal sex toys since it was able to be vulcanized and made stronger. This led to the ability to make condoms and other anal sex toys that were softer than the ones made from previous eras.

Fifteen years later, the first vibrator debuted as a medical tool used to cure women of hysteria. These were used by those without the disease to pleasure themselves sexually and that is their origin as anal sex toys. They made their way into major society through movies about 40 years later and were also making their way into the home and into the anuses of millions even earlier.

After a period of vibrators being inappropriate for hysteria, they made a reemergence and that spawned the creation of various other anal sex toys such as the anal probe and butt plugs.
