A sculpted and polished phallus found in a German cave is among the earliest representations of male sexuality ever uncovered, researchers say.

The 20cm-long, 3cm-wide stone object, which is dated to be about 28,000 years old, was buried in the famous Hohle Fels Cave near Ulm in the Swabian Jura.

The prehistoric "tool" was reassembled from 14 fragments of siltstone.

Its life size suggests it may well have been used as a sex aid by its Ice Age makers, scientists report.

"In addition to being a symbolic representation of male genitalia, it was also at times used for knapping flints," explained Professor Nicholas Conard, from the department of Early Prehistory and Quaternary Ecology, at Tübingen University.
Pre-historic dildos.


Cool.

Are they sure that is what it is for? It could very well have just been use for crushing grain in a bowl. :p

Seems like a dildo made out of rock wouldn't feel so good, although if it were polished and preheated, I guess it wouldn't be much different than the glass dildos you can find these days.

hmm, that doesn't sound convincing enough... 20cm x 3cm could've been any tool..

Next they will find ancient porn in the cave drawn on stone tablets. I bet that phallus has seen right many caves in its life.
