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.

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.



FYI, 20cm by 3cm means it's roughly 8 inches by 1 inch.

7. "It's a sex aid"! "It's a flint napper"!

"How much would YOU pay for this wondrous two-in-one timesaving device? But wait there's more!..."

I wonder if a stone-age Ron Popiel made bad stone-age infomercials for these? :shrug:

9. Idiotic

It is not a flint knapper, or a dildo. This is a Pestle, period. This is not an unusual find at all. All pestles look something like a dildo. O.K., I relent. As long as we call twinkies dildos.
