More Vintage Sex Toys
Remember this antique set of penis sheaths?
While, here’s another slightly different set, including cock rings and maybe even one-half of a set of ben-wa balls:
I’m not sure if these are made of carved horn, ivory, or Bakelite, but it’s obvious that they were carefully crafted and expensive sex toy sets.

They look to be carved from horn. Especially the bottom set.
Interesting to note that the boxes and contents are practically identical.
Maybe carved by the same individual?
I’m dying to know what became of the other ben wa ball.
Can’t you just see this on Antiques Roadshow?
“Well Mr. Bacchus, I’d love to tell you that this set complete would fetch $20,000 at auction, but because you’re missing the other ball, it will instead bring around $5,000. So sorry!”
This really makes you appreciate the ease of which we can get our sex toys these days, the work involved just to add a bit of excitement to the old boudoir before plastic was invented is amazing. The craftsmanship involved in that box just for a few sex toys is astonishing. I once saw a pic of a hand braided horsehair and leather dildo (native American I think… or Egyptian…) that was equally as beautiful. A real work of art, I would consider this box of pre-modern treats, I really would.

To All The Lovely Staff Here,
I have missed your writings and postings here during the holidays where I am insanely busy. Thanks for doing what you do.
On topic this is fascinating, my friend just found a pic of a double dildo in a museum that was found in china. It just goes to say, we didn’t invent it first. It has all been done before.
