Dildo
A dildo (probably from Italian diletto 'delight' from Latin dilectio , verbal noun from diligere ' hochachten , liebe'), also Godemiché [go: dmıʃe:] ( French: 'replica of the erect penis'), is a sex toy that is in classic Shape and size usually resemble an erect penis. However, in recent years there has been a move to offer other materials, shapes and colors. Dildos for female customers are often offered in bright colors and imaginative shapes, while male customers often prefer lifelike phallus shapes. The dildo is for vaginal and anal penetration for the stimulation of the clitoris and the so-called. G-point for women and of prostate in men during masturbation introduced, or used for the mutual stimulation during sex.
With some products, the properties of a vibrator or butt plug also coincide with the dildo .
history
Dildos are already from the antiquity of the 6th century BC. Known, then called olisbos (plural: olisboi ). According to the representations and descriptions, they served more voyeuristic stimulation of the partner than masturbation . The variety of shapes was already quite pronounced back then, for example a vase picture shows a double-ended dildo.
But its roots go back much further. In 2005 a 28,000 year old stone phallus was excavated in the Hohler Fels cave , but it is unclear whether the object was used as a dildo or a striking tool. More than three thousand years ago, the Egyptians knew about the effect of the dildo to increase sexual pleasure. They used clay as a material. Dildos made of porcelain already existed in ancient China. This was followed by dildos made of leather, wood, wax and glass. Today these sex toys are mainly made of silicone , PVC , glass , acrylic glass , aluminum and stainless steel.
In 1720, the discovery of her leather dildo led to the prosecution of Catharina Margaretha Linck , who posed as a man and who was executed in 1721.
The first known literary mention of the term “dildo” is in the poem “Signor Dildo” from 1672, published in 1702 in the volume Poems on Affairs of State . The poem is commonly attributed to John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester .
Under the name “dildo” it was used in the 18th century as a medical aid to expand the vagina before delivery . In the same century, however, the Godemiché was invented, which was even constructed in such a way that it simulated male ejaculation.
According to a Spiegel survey, 66 percent of young Germans between the ages of twelve and 19 know what a dildo is for. Among those under 15, 37 percent of girls and 52 percent of boys know what a dildo is.
Theoretically, the dildo was discussed by Beatriz Preciado, among others, in the context of queer theory .
distribution
In addition to the usual sales via sex shops , a form of direct sales has established itself, in which so-called dildofeen discuss and trade dildos and other erotic items at Tupperware- like evenings in private rooms.
Problem materials
The Cologne ECO Environment Institute examined various plastic dildos on behalf of the magazine Stern . After that, the dildos contained considerable concentrations of the plasticizer phthalate and solvents such as toluene . Mucous membranes absorb these volatile substances particularly well, so there is a risk of damage to health. The magazine Ökotest 2006 came to a similar result . Eleven of the 22 vibrators tested, dildos with a vibration motor, were rated negative because of phenolic and organotin compounds (e.g. bisphenol A and tributyltin ).
The following materials are considered harmless if the hygiene recommendations are followed: acrylic glass , aluminum , stainless steel , glass , maple wood , natural latex (if there is no latex allergy ) and real silicone . For other materials, either the compatibility has not yet been tested or they are to be classified as questionable in the long term and with frequent use. Therefore, also for reasons of hygiene, regular cleaning of the dildo before and after use and use together with a condom is recommended.
Strap-on
A Strapon even strapon , is a dildo strap-on ( strap ). It is mostly used by women to penetrate other women vaginally or anally or even men anally, as is the case with pegging, for example . They look like sturdy panties made of leather, latex or the like, which can usually be fastened around the waist with a belt or strap. Such straps for attaching a dildo are also known as harness . A dildo or vibrator is attached to the front of the strap that runs through the crotch .
Other variants of strap-ons also have dildos, vibrators or the like on the inside, which are used to stimulate the wearer. These internally attached dildos can be inserted vaginally as well as anally, depending on the version. Some strap-ons are designed so that the crotch remains free or an opening is available. This in turn is used for sexual stimulation by the partner or with sex toys.
Other construction principles of strap-on dildos are e.g. B. straps or straps to which a dildo is attached so that the device can also be attached to the head or thigh.
