The bone phallus, unearthed by archeologists previously this thirty day period, was located in mud on the banks of the Göta Canal around Motala in Sweden’s Östergötland province, and is imagined to amongst six,000 and eight,000 a long time old. ’At very first I thought it was just an antler that had been labored on and I was heading to just take a nearer search at it. But when I held it up I was not able to end laughing,’ wrote Sara Gummesson, who uncovered the putative dildo, on the team’s website . The phallus, which actions about 11cm (just over 4 inches) lengthy and all around 2cm (just below an inch) extensive, might have been utilised as a sex support, the crew have speculated – noting that although woman sexual imagery is widespread amongst Stone Age finds, male fertility symbols are rare.

Swedish Heritage Board archeologist Goran Gruber trod a carefully non-commital dildos line, telling Swedish radio: ‘We do believe it’s at minimum some form of phallus, but I could not say for certain what it was really utilized for.’

While experts from the University of Tubingen who examined the Ulm phallus continue to be unsure what it was used for – starting up fires and sharpening flint resources have been suggested as non-impolite uses – its lifelike dimension has raised the possibility that it was utilised as a intercourse aid.
