Throughout the centuries, humans have been seeking ways to enhance their sexual pleasure. One of the most popular tools for maximizing pleasure is the sex toy. But who created sex toys? It’s a fascinating question with some surprising answers.
The term ‘sex toy’ is such a broad description that it could refer to anything from a simple vibrator or dildo to a complex and customizable system of toys, with more digital versions becoming more cutting edge in recent years. For several millennia, however, the most popular sex toys have been something that could fit into a human hand and have been lovingly crafted by innovative and creative people.
The answer to who created sex toys depends on exactly what type of sex toy you are referencing. Some historians argue that the earliest sex toys were used in Ancient Rome and Egypt. These toys were crafted from stone, leather, and other materials to mimic the male sexual organ and were used for sexual pleasure and were thought to promote fertility. The same toys are still used to this day.
Fast forward to the 19th century, and you have a very different type of sex toy. During the Industrial Revolution, many pharmaceutical companies sought to capitalize on the growing public fascination with sexual medicine and sex toys started mass-producing mechanical vibrators. These vibrators could produce precise and repetitive motions and were marketed as medical devices, claiming to cure women’s ‘hysteria.’ Thankfully this archaic ‘cure’ is no longer in use and considered to be pseudoscience.
In the 20th century, the sex toy industry took off. Inventors and companies sought to design innovative and stylish sex toys to satisfy the growing market of customers. Companies like We-Vibe designed the very first couples’ vibrator, which allowed partners to both be pleasured at the same time. And the story doesn’t end there, as more and more people explore adventurous and exotic ways to pleasure themselves.
These days, sex toys come in all shapes and sizes, from simple vibrators to high tech and customizable systems. And thanks to the brave innovators who created sex toys, people can explore their inner desires in the most intimate and pleasurable ways.
As technology advances, so too does the sex toy industry. People can now use interactive and customizable options to maximize pleasure and satisfying their desires in novel and interesting ways. Wireless technology, artificial intelligence and apps are just some of the tools being used to make sex better.
The internet has been a huge boon to the sex toy industry. People can order online discreetly and safely, with sex toys being delivered directly to their door in discreet packaging. Companies like KinklyBot are offering a new wave of teledildonics products, which are designed to let people control each other’s pleasure remotely over the internet.
The future of sex toys is full of possibilities. In the years to come, we can expect to see more innovative and advanced products that even the most adventurous of us could only imagine. With each passing year, more and more people are choosing to explore their sexuality with sex toys and it looks like the possibilities are endless.
