Many people presume sex toys were invented by the Asians. Whilst it really is true that Asians have used sexual aids for far more than a 1000 years, dildos and vibrators have remarkably western roots.

No one is specific who invented the dildo, however its recognition is owed to an ancient Greek port city, Miletus, on the west coast in the current day Turkey. Miletus traders sold what the Greeks known as Olibos around the Mediterranean. In ancient Greece they had been employed as sexual refuges for lonely women.

In Italy the term Olibos became the word dildo, almost certainly in the Italian word diletto, meaning to please. Having said that, in contrast with todays toys you might hardly illustrate them as delightful as they were made from wood, leather and stone.

We Vibe 3 have usually had a sexual purpose in the moment they were invented, vibrators on the other hand have not. Vibrators were invented one hundred thirty years back to treat a healthcare sickness generally known as female hysteria. Hysteria, meaning suffering uterus in Greek, involved anxiety, irritability, sexual fantasies, pelvic heaviness and excessive vaginal lubrication - sexual arousal through the Victorian era, when girls were not thought to be sexual beings. Doctors would treat female hysteria by massasing their patients' genitals until they knowledgeable relief by paroxysm (orgasm).

In the late nineteenth century the initial electric vibrators surfaced. They were still camouflaged as treatment for female hysteria and were offered only to doctors. Gradually magazines started to advertise this kind of devices to women for self treament of hysteria at home. In 1918, Sears Roebuck, and american chain of department stores touted one vibrator as becoming an extremely satisfactory aid every girl appreciates. Then an advertisement in a 1921 issue of Heart's magazine urged guys to purchase the gadgets for their wives to help keep them youthful and fairly and free from the sickness of hysteria.

But during the 1920s, early blue movies showed girls working with the devices for sexual stimulation. Early pornography stripped vibrators of their social camouflage of being massagers, and by 1930, they had been no more openly advertised. Today, adult sex toys are popular sexual aids and are marketed for sexual purposes.
