Did Ancient People Have Sex Toys?

Did Ancient People Have Sex Toys?

Dating back some 30,000 years, sex toys have a long (no pun intended) and fascinating history.


What were the earliest sex toys like? How did technology change them? And did Victorian doctors really prescribing them for back pain?


In today's episode, we're revisiting an episode where Kate was joined by writer, sex and gender historian Hallie Lieberman to discuss the first dildo, the myth of the vibrator, and more.


Find out more about Hallie's book, Buzz: The Stimulating History of the Sex Toy, here.


This episode was produced by Charlotte Long and Sophie Gee. Mixed by Seyi Adaobi.
