Here’s another fun story before I move on from my spurious 1970s “almanac” of sex trivia. Has anybody heard of the Konstead dildo collection? No, I didn’t think so. Google certainly hasn’t:

The largest collection of dildos, privately owned, belongs to Seymour Konstead, a forty-three year old man living in Paris. Mr. Konstead began collecting the phallic objects as a youth.

Mr. Konstead’s collection dates back to the year 85BC and that particular item is a fifteen inch tool with a five inch handle grip made of polished wood and having been determined to be a standard piece of paraphernalia for that time period in Rome.

The most valuable tool in Konstead’s collection is a rather ornate St. Georgian piece studded with diamonds and emeralds and running in the top portion nine inches long and four inches wide. It’s been nicknamed by the collector Alexander’s Triumph.

Mr. Konstead’s collection ranges from the ornate to the ordinary. He includes in the Parisian museum where his tools are on display every sort of phallic device ever invented by man. Where the thing itself no longer exists, Konstead has had another made to match written descriptions. He has battery-operated silent vibrators sitting alongside hand-operated machines more than a thousand years old.

The entire Konstead dildo collection is valued at somewhere around three million dollars.
