Archaeologists say they were shocked recently. They just figured out that a 2,000-year-old “sewing tool” is probably the only known life-size Roman dildo. Dr. Rob Collins with Newcastle University said, “I have to confess, part of me thinks it’s kind of self-evident that it is a penis.”

The item was found in 1992 during the excavation of a fort. It was classified as a darning instrument because it was found among shoes and garments. Dr. Collins says the person who cataloged it might have been “somebody uncomfortable with it.”
Hahaha. Well, somewhere, sometime there had to be a first sex toy. Thanks, Romans!
