Ancient Greece

It was reported that the first use of huge dildo was documented from the Ancient Greece. At that time, merchants sold what they call olisbos, which we now know as dildos. Olisbos are fashioned from leather, stone, and wood. This device was prevalent among single women and it was believed that it was just normal for single women to own one since they don't have partners. Today however, dildos or even vibrators are enjoyed by all types of gender.

Renaissance Italy

In Italy, the term olisbos was change into diletto, which is the Italian word for delight. Back then, dildos were not as comfortable as the dildos that we have today, even despite a generous amount of olive oil. That's right, Italians used olive oil as lubricants. Italian diletto was usually made of leather or wood. No wonder it seem really uncomfortable to use. But notably, Italians did enjoy using it for their own sexual gratification.

Mid-Eastern

During the early days in the Mid-eastern world, women used dried camel dung (stool) that is coated with hard resin and served their purpose of satisfying women's sexual desires. By just knowing its material, you could already tell the main drawback; the aroma, that is. Even if the resin was hard and thick, it didn't entirely cover-up the odor. But then again, who cared about odors back then?

Present Time

Over the last 30 years, the sex toy industry has been rising up in popularity until the early seventies. During this time, it was believed that a couple of adult toys were proliferating in standards and more sexist tone in their advertising campaigns. It was then that several manufacturers stood up and decided to improve the market and continued to reach greater horizons up until today.
