Tiny Stone Age Dildo Discovered: Full Story
Last week, an excavation in Sweden turned up an object that bears the unmistakable look of a penis carved out of antler bone. Though scientists can't be sure exactly what this tool was used for, it's hard not to leap to conclusions. [See "Sex Myths and Taboos"]
"Your mind and my mind wanders away to make this interpretation about what it looks like for you and me, it signals this erected-penis-like shape," said archaeologist Gran Gruber of the National Heritage Board in Sweden, who worked on the excavation. "But if that's the way the Stone Age people thought about it, I can't say."
Right, buddy. They totally wouldn't see that. People were very refined back then.
Really? Female porcupines have been known to use sticks as dildos, and orangutans go to all sorts of trouble crafting theirs out of wood and bark. I'd be ashamed if people were too far behind!
This is not, by the way, the oldest dildo on record. That award goes to the Germans (of course), with a 28,000 year old example of the fine art of penismaking.
See? You learn something new every day.
And now, a masturbating kangaroo.
BTW, congrats on the live set earlier.
