From Stone To Silicone: The Evolution Of Sex Toys

It's 2022 so chances are you own, or have used at least one sex toy in your life, or perhaps you have an entire 'goody drawer' in your bedside, because now there is no stigma and we can all freely buy a wide array of sex toys any time of the day or night. But how did we get here? Because until recently sex toys were often considered shameful and something that needed to be hidden behind blacked out windows in shops labelled 'XXX'. The Quicky speaks to our resident 'sexpert' to discover the history and evolution of sex toys, which goes back thousands of years and covers pretty much every culture in the world - even if only behind closed doors. There's a vast array of sex toys on offer for you to explore, and if you want to know which ones women are loving the most right now, check out this article to find out more.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?
