Ancient phallus unearthed in cave
A bit silly for Tilted Sexuality, but I'm not sure where else to put it.
Ancient phallus unearthed in cave Quote:
I particularly like the comment "Its life size suggests it may well have been used as a sex aid by its Ice Age makers, scientists report. "In addition to being a symbolic representation of male genitalia, it was also at times used for knapping flints," explained Professor Nicholas Conard, from the department of Early Prehistory and Quaternary Ecology, at Tübingen University. " Combination art object, sexual aid, and used for flaking flints. Damn ingenious Ice Age folks, but wouldn't it be a bit cold as a sex aid? |

Ummmmm... fun?
Such an odd piece to find in Germany. And here I thought the oldest would be found in India (Shiva = God of sexuality).
