🏺The original kink: Art, Artifacts & Pleasure 🏺

[THROBBS]

Hahahaha.. what culture is the first penis-man from?

I need to dig deeper. It is in the sexmuseum in Amsterdam

Being critical of the source of information
- double check if possible!

So, I have been thinking about something rather important.
- being critical of the source of information, just because it looks like a legit source of information, it truly does not have to be so!

Therefore, to enhance our joy and the thrill of finding some new and exciting artefacts or artwork, I will present this as an example of just how difficult it can be, to be critical of the source:

Discussion of the Hohle Fels phallus

View attachment 2207323

(Possible the world's oldest dildo.. or hammer )

The interpretation of the use of this object is speculative and derived largely from comments made by Nicholas Conard, the primary investigator of the archaeological site, to the media in 2005. Here's how the BBC made that connection in 2005:

"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....
Researchers believe the object's distinctive form and etched rings around one end mean there can be little doubt as to its symbolic nature. "It's highly polished; it's clearly recognisable," said Professor Conard

But.. Then there is this article as well:

The scientific paper describing the find is a bit more muted when it comes to asserting the phallus was actually used as a dildo (translated from German using Google):

The position of the assembled fragments of the stone phallus from the Hohle Fels … supports its function as a striking stone and retoucher for the production of flint tools. … Whether the stone artifact had functions related to its masculine symbolism is difficult to answer.


Soooo... Maybe it is an almost 30.000 year old, highly polished dildo..
- Or it is a striking stone, used in the production of flint tools

And the scientist there gets some measure of notoriety by being the "spokesmodel" for it.

Exactly!!
No one remembers the details of the case, but the scientist will have gained some fame, which he is hoping will give him some extra points the next time he is searching for funding.

Something scientists needs to do constantly, and there is a lot of competition.

Or both, that dildo....is a firestarter!

I was thinking of the woman holding the object, which is posted all over the internet.

.... I like how you think!!!!

Why only have one function

 

[Mrtenant]

Exactly. She looks sort of like the gal from Jurassic Park- same sort of fascinated look in her eyes.

Grunt the cave man waves her over to get the fire going, she whips that out it's home and gets the fire going quick and puts it back where it belongs, with a smile. Sounds like a Lit story.

As I said in the beginning, we are but sweet and innocent summerschildren..
Those ancient peeps... Now they invented kink!

 

[Dashabout]

Amazing thread.

 

[Cat]

Amazing thread.

Thank you!

 

[Mattentive]

Very interesting thread. Now I'm convinced the first ever sex forum was made of stone.

.... If we search long and deep enough..
We might actually find some stone tabloids somewhere

Does sexy cave paintings count

Yay!!! Good to see you Matt!! Missed you

 

[Dashabout]

Thank you!

Thank you, some very interesting pieces of art for sure.

 

[Cat]

Thank you, some very interesting pieces of art for sure.

Indeed!!

That is the beauty of it: sometimes I find art to be so much more engaging, and able to live rent-free in my mind, for much longer than fast consuming entertainment.

And.. it does not hurt, that sometimes the art is sexy and stimulating..
- other times... Well, giggling and laughing is healthy!!

A tabloid scandal about a famous ancient not visiting a brothel.

Always good to see you at the top when I pop in.

... you do know what this means?
~ please find something interesting!!

I want to see what you think could be of interest!!

.... The top position is rather fun, sometimes

Yes, we are.
But it seems likely that our peeps did not find all of the above — "kinky"
It is only "kinky" from our prudish vantage point.

We know what you mean.

Not quite as old, but my first thought was medieval marginalia.

A nun picking penises from a penis tree. I guess we can only speculate if she put them in her cloister.

And this is either a kink or the first known image of a banana boat.

 

[Trekka]

There are so much penis merch

@Trekka ... I think so should go to this festival, I mean.. for learning and study!! Yup... Learning and study...

I do enjoy travel

 

[THROBBS]

The Never Ending Story
"FALKOR!"
Ok, maybe Falkor's cousin, Kukumbor.

Maaaaaaaaaatt!!!!!!!!!!

I have so many questions... What is going on in these tabloids.. Where do I acquire said penis-tree... For purely scientific reasons..
It is just absolutely bloody brilliant!!

And.. the lady.. why.. where.. whaaaaat is going on!!
- How old are these gems? And where are they from?!?!

You should hang out, muuuuuuch more in this thread..

 

[THROBBS]

You know what they say—
"The penis doesn't fall far from the tree."
