Let’s keep the Shunga party going! I’m sure you saw all those fun traditional Japanese Sex toys last week. If not, scroll back a bit for a peek. It’s OK, I’ll be here.
Well, those toys are fine and dandy, but wouldn’t it be nice to see them in use? Here’s a Shunga of a pair of Lesbians from the same time period using what appears to be one of the depicted dildos!

It appears the two of them just stopped scissoring and have pulled out a strap-on to continue. The lady on the left is cleaning off the dildo with a silk cloth. Meanwhile, the lady on the right has a small pot of lubricating oil she will be applying to her strap-on to make the ride more enjoyable for her lover.

Here’s a real classic: coconut oil.
I know you’re probably thinking, “Uhh… Red. That’s not an adult novelty. Why is it here?” Actually, you’d be surprised. Back before you could get lube just anywhere, people tended to use whatever they had on hand whether it was a good idea or not. Oils were especially popular as they don’t dry out and are easy to buy without getting funny looks.
Even though we can readily buy lube these days, organic virgin coconut oil has seen a resurgence in popularity as of late. It’s a “green” lubricant made with a minimum of processing, it’s shelf stable, it retards bacterial growth, and it smells lovely. On top of all that coconut oil can be used out of the bedroom for cooking, conditioning hair, massages and more. Now you can see why there are so many fans of this vintage personal lubricant!

Is using Trader Joe’s Organic Virgin Coconut Oil for lube really that awesome, or should we just stick with the modern lubes? Let’s find out!

Behold: The rare elusive flying dildo!

No, that’s not a Photoshopped animated gif. An actual dildocopter was made and used to interrupt a Russian press conference as a form of funny political protest. You can see the actual footage by clicking here.

A little while ago I spoke of both Shunga and the fact that dildos are far more ancient than many people think.
The Ukiyo-e (which means “pictures of the floating world”) period lasted from the 1670′s until around 1912. Although not all the art is sexual (shunga), here is a panel from the Ukiyo-e Shunga period that details depicts a set of “Erotic Objects” traditionally used in Japan. Some of these sex toys are still popular today! Can you name them all?

Spoiler ahead!
I see a Shibari bound penis, Shibari cording, cock cage, pocket pussy, several kinds of cock rings (beaded and solid), Ben Wa Beads, a penis extender (the cup-looking thing), a penis sheath (the over sized penis) and a double-ended dildo. I’m not sure what the white tied things are, unfortunately.

Awww. Look at the cute little penises. They look so happy!

Oh dear, those are cat toys. I’m not sure this is a wise idea. They’re still cute, though!
If you want to buy them, Meow-a-Days still makes these and many other pet toys. They also carry a version for dogs, too.
Masturbation is our first and natural form of sexual activity and if that’s inhibited or damaged, then we suffer for the rest of our lives.
