You know, I was waiting for that, and I had my retort all prepared at one point. Now I'm drawing a blank, but I assure you it involved my massive, sturdy, and fearsome wang.
All I mean to say is, it seems to me that these days, and perhaps I'm wrong, most dildos resemble the current average penis size. Was that "average" for a tool size then? Or was that average for a penis size then? Perhaps it has many historical implications.

These are the questions about history that I'm afraid to ask.

Most dildos today are much bigger than the average penis. The average penis is about 5-6" long and 1-2" in diameter (based on experience and reading). Most men will of course tell you their cock is a lot bigger than that. Most dildos seem to be about 8-12" long and 2.5-3" in diameter. Vibrators are often more humanly sized, but dildos are generally fairly superhuman.

Hmmm... who's to say what's average? In some countries, the average size is shorter - and in fact, significantly shorter (there's even a web site in either Japan or Korea). I always thought all guys were at least 8 inches... but not having any experience... what do I know... so maybe while not a dildo, it could be a small figurine celebrating the male organ. Or a large one... depends on your perspective.

Further, the speculated daily life of early Homo sapiens wouldn't have been "hunt, shit and fuck" along with oodles of free time. Between scavenging (more so than hunting), gathering edible plants, childcare, fending off predators, and a multitude of other demands on hunter-gatherers, free time was not a luxury. About 25,000 years later, agriculture would finally allow certain individuals to begin specializing in other crafts.

Actually, analysis of the few remaining hunter/gatherer societies in the 20th century showed that they had VASTLY GREATER more free time than more "civilized" societies, only working a few hours a day.

I always thought they were longer than average because you need a few inches to hold onto.

I hope that wasn't a stupid thing to say.

"knapping flints"-interesting new inuendo.

I always knew that flint could be used to start a fire...but not down there...
