A tool fashioned from a stag’s antler and believed to be a Stone Age dildo has caused a global sensation since its discovery in Sweden earlier this month.

The object, 10-11 centimetres (4 inches) long and 2 centimetres in diameter, is being interpreted by archaeologists as a phallic plaything.

“First I thought it was just an antler that had been worked on and I was going to take a closer look at it. But when I held it up I wasn’t able to hold back the laughter,” wrote archaeologist Sara Gummesson on a blog maintained by the Swedish National Heritage Board.

The putative sex toy prototype was found at a Stone Age settlement on the banks of Göta Canal near Motala in southern Sweden.

“We do think it’s at least some sort of phallus but I couldn’t say for sure what it was actually used for,” Göran Gruber at the heritage board told Sveriges Radio.

Gruber added that there had been major international interest since pictures were posted online, with CBS, Fox News and the BBC all contacting the board for comments on the phallic find.

The object, believed to be 6,000 to 8,000 years old, was found embedded in a layer of mud and remained in excellent condition.

HAhahaha oh my god xD
that's awesome :D

Those sweedish girls…. :shifty: rrrhh

E: 4 inches?

Whats wrong with it being 4 inches? It was probably used as something else, maybe a herb grinder or something

I doubt this.

Da Owner; remember that we used to be much smaller 6000 years ago.

How much can a vag take in? 4-5 inches max.. lol

It's definitely bigger than 4 inches…

No, not at all. Vaginas tend to be quite.. "malleable" (can't think of any better adjectives), especially if they stick with a single partner. Generally they are 4-5 inches in length, but when they become aroused, they can lengthen by several inches. The longer and more often the women has vaginal sex with the man (or toy), the more her vagina will become shaped like the genitalia (or toy) of her choice. The two people that I've had sex with can both take much more than 5 inches, after a few times in bed. (Granted, one of them never got the whole thing, so keep in mind that if you just shoved a baseball bat up a girls vagina every day, she wouldn't have a baseball-bat-shaped/length genitalia. They do have limits. Some women just have more room for change than others.

/vagina talk.

Nuff said :D

Ok vag talk out of the way.. On to deep throat. :p

Baseball bat.. That be hella tough to get in there. There has been times I've had to work that vag just to get my "jawn" in. I "guess" they come in different sizes. Haha

And it's not only about size of you or her. It's also arousal and experience. More sex, generally a bigger/deeper vagina. And the more aroused, the easier it is to get in, the deeper it gets, and generally everything's better, so work on foreplay and all that stuff. A lot of it is also psychological, so find out what she likes and pleasure her rather than just focusing on your own stuff. Be a gentleman. ;D

Yeah^ they like it when I pull there hair. One girl asked me to choke her once o.O

Dudes… Stop.

Jeez, get on topic. Make another thread about how to have sex, you hooligans. :)

You guys really think girls want 10" long and 3" diameter stones inside them?

They aren't 10" long, and they had to make use with what they had at the time ;).

My point was to reply to those who wondered why the stone was quite small. Of course it was small. What did the news say, 4"?

Forget it, no-one comment this or my previous post :rolleyes:

Dudes… Stop.

I can believe this. People wanted ways to stimulate themselves. Sex existed wayyy back. People want it but not everyone have it. So, Dildos invented to be a temporary relief, like crack. However, due to shame and fear of others knowing, these devices are always kept somewhere secret, and where people would not even think of looking. And therefore, this type of device must have been invented multiple times in history as its invention was not shared when discovered due to fear.

I dunno, my theory.

[sex talk]"Maybe the dirty little secret about sex, is that it isn't so dirty at all… the weird thing is, even though it is natural, sex can make us uncomfortable… but if we work at it, we can get beyond that discomfort… and realize that sex can actually be a comfort… sex can even be a cure… how do I know all of this… because no one understands this better than someone who isn't having it… "[/sex talk] ~ great quote.

And that is kindof funny, it is like when they were excavating Pompeii (volcanic caboom) they were finding lots of that sort of thing, we learn about this in college history and see teh pics.. not something I ever heard about in middle school. =]

While the subject of sex indeed makes some of us uncomfortable, it's no excuse for hijacking a thread :P

Meanwhile, ten thousand years ago, some dude (or dudette) was making a living crafting dildos from stag antlers.

No, this isn't about being uncomfortable. It's just time to stop.

Just like crack.

I wonder what the women gave in return for the dildos? I dunno if they had a functioning economy back then..;)

Why would they require them in the first place then..?

In some countries in Africa they make dildos out of rhinoceros's horns…

if you were a caveman wouldn't you just sit around masturbating all day

^ No. There would be much more work to do. You would have to fight for your own survival and get all your own food and stay warm and everything. I'm sure there would be some of it but not a constant at all.

whats he going to do after he spears the saber-tooth tiger and drags it back to his cave with all his furs and rocks and family members? read a book? learn a second language? do his taxes? vote in an election?

I dunno. Maybe skin it, clean it, cook it.. something like that. And it's not like you'd have the energy to go off and kill things like that and then just jack off all the time.

And after he's skinned, cleaned, cooked, and eaten a meal with his fellow cavemen, and its dark and its too dangerous to go out of the cave away from the fire they've got at this time of the night…?

^^^^ Have any of you gone serious camping before? I mean all you bring is basic first aid, a can to boil water, a hatchet, a knife, and some string. Or anything like that for this matter.

After you setup traps, hunt, catch, clean, prepare, cook and eat an animal/shrubbery there is more than plenty to do. There is gathering wood for fires, making fires, making tools, fixing things like shelter and whatnot, fixing the food to last, securing/hanging important stuff.

I have gone power camping in the woods, and if you are out there for more than one day (you can last without eating much for that long) there is NEVER a lack of something to do. I mean once on the first night I was out there (we had our minimal supplies and walked a few hours into the woods and built our campsite all day), my friend and I just whittled away at mini tools (spoons, forks, weapons, stakes, and such). If you are really out in the about places, you never lack SOMETHING to do.

I would say at most there was time for a quickie and maybe snugglin while you were not on watch, but you need that sleep. Yea, the whole 'stone age dildo' wouldn't surprise me too much. I mean seriously, when do you think orgasms were invented?

:p "Invented." :)

Orgasms were invented? I always thought they were just a myth!

@ Topic : How would cavemen be intelligent enough to shape it that way? I would think they'd just stick anything in there. Perhaps it was used for something else?

Or perhaps they're trolling.

Because people have had sex for ever. It's not like male genitalia were shaped differently back then..

I simply do not believe cavemen would have the proper intelligence to come up with a type of 'stone age dildo' in the almost exact shape of the male genitalia.

:p It's not like it's a complex geometrical shape or anything.

true enough…. and that is a great point.. but there is certainly complex detail work if one really wants to get into the specifics of treasure toys.

I just love this thread <3

im just saying cavemen weren't sitting around on their off time thinking "how can i better myself?" i think they were just stupid and smelly and just sat around masturbating, kind of like today.

coming from a pro, right. I am glad you know, because you were there. ;)

hey, at least i have a job

I think I shall add:

Ok, wow… this is all crazy sauce..

There's a misconception about history…. Ancient cultures still had the common mindsets similar to us these days. They just had different ways of expressing it through there civilizations. You think someone in ancient egypt is going to keep long term records of a kid vandalizing and having fun or something like that?

Think of it this way, everything that takes place these days, happened in some form or another back then.

Yea, I suppose so. Sex, Drugs, & Rock'nRoll. All the major parts of society were covered. We have just been updating them.

Currently, we have AIDS, Crack, and Techno. Fuck society :|

would you prefer cholera, morphine, and national opera?

The ruler in that picture is in centimeters.

Proof:
1. Notice in the complete pictures of the object the bottom part is cracked off. Next to the ruler that part it into the foam and not measured. That part is probably about 3cm long

2. The article says that the object is 2cm wide, crop the top 2cm of that ruler, rotate it and move over top of the object. It measures up to the width of it. Hence the ruler being in cm.

3. I used a ruler exactly like that in kindergarten :p

Also, inches are not broken down into fractions of 10 (in my experience) rather variations of 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, the ruler clearly has only denominations of 1/10
