Speaker 1: we joined Diana and Elive Ridiculous Romance and discussing the

17
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: history of sex, not just sex, but sex toys, implements

18
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: used not only for procreation but for pleasure. Yeah, well said.

19
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,440

00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: learned some things and we enjoyed we enjoyed this episode

21
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: so much, this two part episode with Ridiculous Romance, that

22
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: we wanted to put it directly on our feed and

23
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: we got Diana Analizes permission, so so they're great with it.

24
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: But this is also a great way for you to

25
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: get a taste of what you can encounter on Ridiculous Romance.

26
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: It's not always I feel like they want us to

27
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: say this, it's not always about sex toys, but come

28
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: for the puns and then check out check out their

29
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: fantastic show as well because it legit is hilarious. And

30
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: then seriously, this is probably on par with you know,

31
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: I know, when we do stuff with Jack and Miles,

32
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: we kind of allow ourselves to untuck our shirts a

33
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: little bit, let our hair down, our hairs. This one

34
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: kind of takes that to the next level. I would say,

35
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: so more on par with the George Carlin episode that

36
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: we did where um, there was about a list of

37
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: of blue words that were banned in broadcasting. This is

38
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: kind of like that. So definitely not a co listening

39
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,399
Speaker 1: experience unless it's you know, you and your and your

40
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,760

Speaker 1: particulous with the ships a love. It might be any

66
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,920

67
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: be pg. Thirteen. I mean, it's history. These are things,

68
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: These are artifacts, These are historic relic sometimes sacred in

69
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: many cases. Yeah, the history itself definitely p us talking

00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: what do we is this? I trust you guys, Diana

75
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: hel Is this a uh? Is this a episode where

76
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: we need a safe word? Or where are we at

77
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: with that? You know, a safe word is always a

78
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: good idea if you ever feel uncomfortable. Definitely, just you know,

79
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, scream at the top of your lungs.

80
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: Hard word, that will be our safe word, right, hard

81
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: is a great safe no potential for misunderstanding there. I

82
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 1: always just preferred. I think we've mentioned on the show

83
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: before that. I just think the ultimate safe word is

84
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: just safe word. Why did you or something? When you're like,

85
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: look safe word, it says it all. It's safe word.

86
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: Safe word. You're done. I'm done. I'm not going to

87
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: accidentally say safe word in passion in the moment if

88
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: I don't mean it, unlike pineapples, which comes up a lot. Well, yeah,

89
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: kindly stop ram rotting. Sorry, the safe word must be

90
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: submitted in writing in triple kit. This is a question

91
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: that I think is on both my mind and and knowles. Uh,

92
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: what are some of the like you guys have gone

93
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: into some really um it's at times controversial territory for

94
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: a lot of people. So one of the things that

95
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: I think you always approach from such an empathetic human

96
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: angle is the idea of people's sexual explorations, right, I

97
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: think because we call it ridiculous romance, and you've had

98
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: stories that are almost entirely just just the romance. Right.

99
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: But today when you when you when you all came

100
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: to us with this idea of sex toys, I at

101
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,239
Speaker 1: least I can't speak for unial. I knew they were

102
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: ancient because people have been into this for a long time.

103
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: But I don't think I grasped, uh grasp whatever. I

104
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: don't think I understood how like how intertwined with society, past,

105
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: present and future these things have been. And is it

106
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: true like are we at a did we just as

107
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: a society get out of a period where these things

108
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: were taboo? I have so many questions. Uh yeah, I

109
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: think so. I mean especially dildos particularly were vilified. At

110
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: one point in history. They were very, very common and

111
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,679
Speaker 1: awesome and everybody loved them, and then they were like, wait,

112
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: do you think my wife will like this dildo better

113
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: than me? And then they kind of fell out of

114
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: favor with a gentleman. What am I going to be

115
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: a better lover? It's it's remarkable how frequently male in

116
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: security shape's history so remarkable, so remarkable, almost too much remarkable. Um.

117
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: I also did learn too that because it allowed gay men,

118
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: dildos allowed gay men to have sex without you know,

119
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: without actually uh putting their own body parts in each other.

120
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: They were able to have sex when they had HIV,

121
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: and so they became synonymous with having HIV for as well,

122
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: if you had a dildo meant you were you were

123
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: like had a deadly disease, which is very weird. But

124
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: obviously that change to make all right. Well, you know,

125
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: they were trying real hard to make everyone very scared

126
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: of gay people. Um, that's true during that period, so

127
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: I think they were trying anything, and they were trying

128
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: anything with stick speaking of sticks, Speaking of sticks. Early

129
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: on though, I mean, like the attitude towards sex was

130
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: pretty la fair, like I mean the earliest days, and

131
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: then it went through the kind of puritanical phase and

132
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: then sort of his come full circle. Um in the

133
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: modern day. I know we're going to get there, but

134
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: why don't we take it back to like antiquity and

135
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: like the discovery of the first mystical dildo of the gods? Well, yeah,

136
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: we I mean, we have been digging up dildos for

137
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: a very long time. They think the first one humans,

138
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: not us personally, We've only been digging up dildos for

139
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 1: a couple of months. But humans your backyard, it's weird.

140
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: I have no idea how they got there. It was

141
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: the oldest house on the street, they tell us. So

142
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: there was nothing but farmlance every dildo have. Everyone would

143
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: hide their dildos in our backyard. No, yeah, human beings

144
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: have been digging up dildos for a very long time.

145
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: They think they found the very first dildo in a

146
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: cave in Germany that dates back to the Ice Age,

147
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: so twenty eight thousand years ago, and it's made of

148
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: chalk chalk, I guess you gotta stay warm, but jeez,

149
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: feels dry though, doesn't it like something like that? Why

150
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: would you want to put but you something? But I mean,

151
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 1: I guess we're really desperate and the ice ages, so

152
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: you could really leave your mark, chalk it up, chok

153
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: it after you a lack of supplies. I don't know

154
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: what couldn't lead. It's a fashioned one out of like

155
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: a block of ice, just kind of make it like smooth.

156
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: I guess it would melt, but it would take you.

157
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: Do you want to put a block of ice like

158
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: inside your butt? Because I can tell you I would

159
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: not like it could be interesting? Who knows? I mean?

160
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: And stimula. It was the Ice Age. They were very

161
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: used to that feeling. Whatever. Isn't there another old one

162
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 1: that was discovered? Um, I believe somewhere in like Syria

163
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: that was like made of stone. There were like stone

164
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: ones as well, ste ivory, jade, probably bones. I imagine

165
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 1: I feel like that's a that's an obvious one to make,

166
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: a sure um. And if you look up prehistoric dildos,

167
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: they have a wide variety of sizes and girths and

168
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: different foreskin like options. They even came with tattoos or

169
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: little illustrations carved in them. So I love that there

170
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: was some art. They're like branded. They were branded, they

171
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: were like dildo. They probably had a close personal relationship,

172
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: you know. I assumed that even in more uh collectivist

173
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: early societies, there were still things that were considered kind

174
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: of like your personal property, like hey, this like a

175
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: like a two shot, you know, or like you know,

176
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: or your button plug or your dildo. But so, by

177
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: the way, I'm a mistake, I said Syria just kind

178
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: of off the top of my head. It was Germany,

179
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: I believe where they found this, these collections of silt

180
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: stone Germany. Some of these were like monogram Germany. The

181
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: early forefront of this techno makes sense exactly of anywhere

182
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: in the world where would you look for a dildo?

183
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: But Germany. You listened to your show, that's awesome. So

184
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: so there's another thing, you know, Diane, you found this

185
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: in your Researchen's something that really stood out to me

186
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: because you think a lot about not to get two

187
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: in the weeds, so you think a lot about uh,

188
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: material science to put it in the lamest way possible, Like, uh,

189
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: it makes sense that there would be something like a

190
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: smooth stone or ivory your bone or even would that

191
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: would make sense and probably have less of a risk

192
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: of injury or irritation. But what's up with the incredibly

193
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: silly name The Holdest Boy b O? I by pretty

194
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: good brandy, But yeah, what's the deal with that? This

195
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: is a dates back to ancient Greece, I believe, and

196
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: then carried over to some other adjacent culture. Oh yeah,

197
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: they were stuffed phalluses and they were made of polished leather,

198
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 1: and I guess that partly Sometimes you would even find

199
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: the stone ones with like a leather sheath so they

200
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: would be warmer and softer when okay there, um, so

201
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: that's part that was smart. I feel like they were

202
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: really thinking about comfort at some point, and they were like,

203
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: you know, while we're making coats and shoes, let's go

204
00:12:55,200 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: ahead set some aside. Somebody said, ladies, siltstone just isn't

205
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: doing it for me. A lot of russage and they

206
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: didn't work. Yeah, leather. Well, speaking of chafe, the ancient

207
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: Greeks would also use olive oil as a lubricant, So

208
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: there goes your chafing problem. You just get that bad boy,

209
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: that bad alive boy dipped in some olive oil. Surely

210
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: that that enters into the etymology of the word, right,

211
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: does that all his boy referencing oil? I wonder they

212
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: just I don't know. I always do this where I

213
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: see two vaguely similar words and I'm like, they must

214
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: be related. There's no way they're not. Pretty incidence because

215
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: I believe this is the first version of this that

216
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: was called this, and there were other cultures that used

217
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: that that term as well. It makes me think of

218
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: have you guys ever seen the movie Caligula? You know,

219
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: I didn't watch. Yeah, it's it's it's a lot. It

220
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 1: was produced by the publisher of Penthouse and they wanted

221
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: it to be like full Front Orgy or Giastic rat City.

222
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: But it's also like, you know, a really expensive, you know,

223
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: period movie with Malcolm McDowell playing the titular psychopath Emperor

224
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: of Rome. And there's a scene where he um he

225
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: uses olive oil uh to loop up his fist a thing. Yeah,

226
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: like like, I've got the etymology because the thinking of

227
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: this as well, and you know English being such a

228
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: language of the lazy and plagi plagiaristic people of the world. Uh,

229
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: we end up with a lot of things that may

230
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: seem like they are falsely related. But according to this

231
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: all his boy, which is the funny one is the

232
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: plural of olibos, which is ancient Greek for to slip,

233
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: to glide. You know, like that slipping slide commercial in

234
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: the eighties, right, you take a jump and take a die. Yeah.

235
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: I was like what And then Eli, you and I

236
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: are the olds in this conversation, whereas yeah, where I

237
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: as I believe olive is unrelated etymo logically, but dang

238
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: it again, Olive exactly like a game boy this. I'm

239
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: going to go retire to be with my olive boy.

240
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: There's another interesting thing here. We're talking about the cyclical

241
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: ups and downs of sex positivity for lack of a

242
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: better word, throughout human history. One thing that surprised me

243
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: in the research here is that the Greek men, to

244
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: your point about male insecurity, like the Greek men who

245
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: would go off to fighting wars were actually on board

246
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: with giving giving an olive boy to their partners. That yeah,

247
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: they thought that if women were left too long without

248
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: an injection of sperm in them, at some point, they

249
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: would eventually get hysteria or something called a wandering uterus.

250
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: Which I know. It's a tough time around the house

251
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: when my uterus jumps out and starts. It starts around myself,

252
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: you know, we get we always get calls from the neighbors.

253
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: Uterus is loose again, you know, a little buddy. You

254
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: just need a higher fence. I keep saying. I thought

255
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: I felt a little lighter, trying to find itself, you know,

256
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: it's just trying to understand who it really is, Like

257
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: what am I doing. I gotta say that this this

258
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: concept though, of like leaving the women with a dildo

259
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: so that they wouldn't you know, the uteruses wouldn't wonder.

260
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: It gives a whole new meaning to the phrase left

261
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: to their own devices. We have to have to noculate

262
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: you with sperm or else we will go insane, which

263
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: is so funny, and that I mean. It's noted here,

264
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: of course, that hysteria and sex toys have at a

265
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: very long historical link, mostly for women. You know, doctors

266
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 1: would uh do a pelvic massage for women that would

267
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: result in a paroxysm. Uh I was supposed to cure

268
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: them of hysteria, and I bet a lot of women

269
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: were like, yeah, I feel so hysterical today. I don't

270
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: know doctor showing me how I could do this maybe

271
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: at home for myself when a hysteria just comes on.

272
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: He's like, no, I think you need a professional. Was

273
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: this kind of like a like a slow shift, because

274
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: it seems like at first these sex toys are purely

275
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: meant for kind of you know, the most hedonistic of pleasures, um,

276
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 1: and then it starts to be more functional, where it's

277
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: like I am the man. I I you know, you

278
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: are my property and I'm going to give you this

279
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: as a stand in for me while I'm away. But

280
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: then it kind of started moving more towards like being

281
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: a medical device, right or we maybe we're not quite

282
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: there yet, but I think vibrators more specifically, we're we're

283
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: marketed as medical devices and dildos were not. So I

284
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: think that's why dildos actually had more controversy on them

285
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: than vibrators ever did, because vibrators never really had Yeah,

286
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: vibrators never really seemed to be a problem for people.

287
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: They were like, cool, whatever, get your steampowered thing and

288
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: have at it. But like, but it was like a

289
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: medical thing because ladies are so crazy they have to

290
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: have something, I guess. But with dildos it was more

291
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: about like actual penetration and men could use them, and

292
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: you know, lesbians used them and stuff, so it became

293
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,439
Speaker 1: like more of a I guess I could see that.

294
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: You know, if you've got something the vibrates, then the men,

295
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: you know, well I can't do that, so at least

296
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 1: that's a different device. But if it's just a dildo,

297
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,239
Speaker 1: I've got a perfectly good dick right here. What's the

298
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: problem you want to you want to dick in you?

299
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: I can make that happen. Yeah, getting a little more

300
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: aggravated about the diage. Maybe this is a great spot

301
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: for a break, So we'll be right back. Welcome back everyone.

302
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: So there's another question that I had that was a

303
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: very I guess, practical question, Like, obviously a chalk like

304
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 1: a dildo devised the chalk. It sounds like it's what

305
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: the person had to work with at the time. But

306
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 1: when you're thinking about people in the natural world where

307
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: there's not nearly as much technology as there is today

308
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: in two as we record this, wouldn't the natural world

309
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 1: already have some kind of like phallic thing you could

310
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: mess with, Like I don't know, I'm gonna make the

311
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: laziest choices like I was. No, we're not gonna tell

312
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 1: that story, Like, okay, I'll say it. So I was

313
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: in a grocery store during the height of the lockdown.

314
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: Will only go out from necessessin's whatever be massed up

315
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 1: and everything man been out in public in a while,

316
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: and the entire I think I mentioned to you guys

317
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: off air, the entire grocery store was filled with a

318
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: weirdly unnecessary sexual tension because people hadn't seen each other

319
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 1: in a while. Everybody's got an aura of mystery because

320
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: you know, two thirds of their faces covered. And I

321
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 1: was in the produce aisle and this, uh, there's a

322
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: person there, and I can tell you much more about

323
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 1: them who saw me, like selecting cucumbers for some stuff

324
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: I was gonna cook, and we're staring at me hard

325
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: to the point where I just put down the cucumbers

326
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 1: and thought, I'm gonna cook something else because this this

327
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: person is reading this more into this situation than you know,

328
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: my lay mass salad or whatever. And why I think

329
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: of that? You know, we like it's a trope in

330
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: it's a trope in so much Western Eurotica as well,

331
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: like watch this person eat fruit or whatever. So did

332
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: that play a role in the history of sex toys?

333
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: Most definitely. They're like ancient texts like Arabian Nights that

334
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: talk about fruit and vegetables and just any penis shaped object.

335
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 1: But the best one I saw was from this Ming

336
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: dynasty writer Taut sung E. And you know, we don't

337
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 1: speak Cantonese, but we try. Circuit thirteen sixty he wrote

338
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 1: about something called the Cantonese growing, which was a route

339
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: sufficiently penish shaped to be used as a dildo, mostly

340
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: by peasant women in like the country, rural areas. And

341
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: interestingly it was also called an olspos, So they probably

342
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: got that from ancient Greece. I imagine such a similar name,

343
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: yeah right, such a similar name. It must have been

344
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,959
Speaker 1: the legend of this Cantonese groin is quote. In the

345
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: pastures of the Tartars, wild horses often copulate with dragons.

346
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: Drops of the semen will fall down and enter the earth,

347
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: and at for some time put forth shoots resembling bamboo

348
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: sprouts of pointed shape and covered with small scales close

349
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 1: together like the teeth of a comb, and with a

350
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: network of veins, making them very similar to the male member. Okay,

351
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 1: do you guys have teeth of a comb on your dad?

352
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: For you to ask me that, well, to be fair,

353
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,199
Speaker 1: I mean not to get to you know, anatomically correct,

354
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: but why not. There is a seam, you know, on

355
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 1: the bottom of of of a penis that is vaguely

356
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: comb like or it's like a ridge kind of things,

357
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: zig zaggy kind of you. But yeah, the veiny part

358
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: is always just you know, sometimes I get these sweet

359
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: potatoes everything store that have all these veins up along

360
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: the side of them. It's very very upsetting trying to

361
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 1: say sweet potato, that's a very sweet any of the

362
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 1: produce section in general, you just got it. Don't go

363
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: when you skip cucumbers, where do you go? Because almost

364
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: everything well, it's so funny. The emoji is eggplant, which

365
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: is the one I would probably not turn to you

366
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: in a crisis. And actually another ming writer named Lee

367
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 1: you wrote a theatrical play about a lesbian couple who

368
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: use a double elise bos so they had double sided dildos,

369
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 1: like as far back as the thirt hundreds, and this

370
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: was a stick made of water ivory with two silk

371
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: bands attached to the middle. I guess you like pull

372
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: on it? Yeah, well you need a grip, right, something

373
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: to grip on. That makes sense. So I assuming we

374
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: I haven't seen these this play, I've not. I don't

375
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: think there's been mounted in a while. Hasn't been mounted?

376
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:58,239
Speaker 1: Is it? Is it double sided? Like? Like? Yeah? They

377
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: were saying in this the in this uh book about them,

378
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: the main writers that female homosexuality was very common and

379
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 1: considered to be a fine, normal thing, no problem ladies

380
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: have at but male homosexuality was very frowned upon at

381
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: the same time, which is so interesting to me, the

382
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: gendered wells about homosexuality. It's interesting because there was also,

383
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: especially in the upper class, there was a uh, some

384
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: pretty distinct sharp lines around gender division. Right, so you

385
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 1: could end up being, you know, some wine of noble birth,

386
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: and you're you're not gonna meet a lot of dudes

387
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,199
Speaker 1: who are not, you know, either working for you or

388
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: or your relatives. So maybe how far historically, is this

389
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: after ancient Greek? And ancient said it's a long time. Yeah,

390
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: because I mean, like you know, in those in those days,

391
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 1: the moment, I mean it was like almost like like cool,

392
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 1: not cool to be by or by curious or have

393
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 1: like a stable being penetrated. You had to be a

394
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: tops only, which is so funny because if everyone is

395
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: a top, then where were they putting it? By the way, guys,

396
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: what's a power? Bottom? Somebody explained to me, what a power?

397
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: Have you not seen this explanation? Okay, I'll just maybe

398
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 1: maybe some ridiculous romantics. We'll get a we'll get an

399
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:39,120
Speaker 1: answering machine on a later episode. Yeah, but it wasn't

400
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: just vegetables and fruit that people used. Um. Speaking of

401
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: ancient Greece. In a book called The Joy of Sexist Love,

402
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 1: Less Lust, Love and Longing in the Ancient World by

403
00:25:53,000 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: Vicky Leon, breadstick dildos were a common thing. Were the bottomless? No,

404
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: they all found the bottom? I think, yeah, I don't

405
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 1: think any of us absolute. Okay, So first off, I

406
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: always shout to Larry David, but the crumbs, right like croms,

407
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: This is my first question exact. Plus, I guess you

408
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 1: have to have enough bread that you would let one

409
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: sit by get stale enough to do the job. Plus

410
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: plus I'm thinking you bust out the olive oil and

411
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: there's a and there's a loaf of bread. I'm not

412
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do anything, but immediately it's gonna be

413
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: gone black pepper in there. Yeah, yeah, no, I wouldn't.

414
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 1: It's food is just gonna come before sex for me. Also,

415
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: I have a real um not phobia, but I'm just

416
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: sort of squigged out a little bit by incorporating food

417
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: stuffs into sex stuff. Say, I just don't think the

418
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: twain should should meet. Like I don't even like like

419
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: like sexy rawberry use that's just no, just yeah, don't

420
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: care like inviting ants to hang out in your bedroom

421
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: and he's already going to be stickiness eventually anyway, But

422
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: that's how you know it's over. You don't want sticking

423
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:16,120
Speaker 1: this in advance, how you know we're dead. Oh man.

424
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: I also don't like the idea of putting yeast anywhere

425
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: near your vagina to the issues down there. But apparently

426
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 1: this happened when at an ancient bakery, when quote a

427
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 1: gal with time on her hands started full around with

428
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 1: bread dough for like a loose woman hands right while

429
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: listiviously daydreaming. She created an ossbo colics, the bread stick dildo,

430
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: the sex industry's first green product. Well done, very important

431
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: to be sustainable in our sex toy expliration. I'm sure

432
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: that was your primary con cern thousands of years. Yeah,

433
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 1: people are gonna go plastic waste. I'm onto something. You

434
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: guys are calling me weird, but just wait one day,

435
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: we're going to want to get power from the sun.

436
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 1: So yeah, this is this is uh fascinating because it

437
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 1: sounds like it caught on and became kind of a

438
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: cottage industry, at least in ancient Athens. Uh. Yeah, there

439
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 1: was a There was a note from that interview that

440
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: Leon did with the Huffington Post where she answered a

441
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: question that I was a little too hesitant to ask

442
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: because I'm one of the more immature people in today's conversation.

443
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: What happens to the bread after yes, you sell it

444
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: for half price obviously, or you sell it for the

445
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: price okay on fans. You could probably sell it for

446
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,959
Speaker 1: some weird Greek guy out there. It's like, I'm that

447
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: bread were always selling their used underwear and there's someone

448
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: for some crazy shit. You know. That's the thing. There's

449
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: always what did you say? Oh did they leon said?

450
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: These breadsticks were these oldest most colleagues excuse me? Were

451
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: a custom made to fit and quote even nutritious. Should

452
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: the need arise? Should a different need arise? Yeah, it's

453
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: sort of like an elegal bread yeah, functional in edible

454
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: nutritious though, well bread my question. I mean that's a

455
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: that's a very broad term, you know, like a multi grain.

456
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: So there was some kind of friction. Yeah, sure, sure,

457
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: with or without rise seeds. Dr Ruth is probably this

458
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with. Well, it depends do you want

459
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: it ribbed for her pleasure? And maybe that's what the

460
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: rides there. You Yeah, there's a reference to using dildos

461
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: in the playlist is Strata, which is about women who

462
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: go on a sex strike to stop a warm So

463
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: they definitely I wonder if they ever used Baggett's and like,

464
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: I kind of want to do a production now they're like, well,

465
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: I got we're all set over here. Well, the war

466
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: is going terribly, but our grain industry is just dominating.

467
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: Time for a teeny weeny commercial break. We will be

468
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: right back welcome back to the show, everybody. Okay, I

469
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: got I'll stop going back to the weird idea that

470
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: people have to have quote sperm injections to not go

471
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: crazy because there's there's no sperm involved obviously, right with

472
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not a baker, but okay, yeah, just

473
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: but I suppose if you made like a Neclaire, you

474
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: know there might be something there for a boy that's

475
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: my nickname. I said it was cream Field. I didn't

476
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: tell you what kind of cream I did sell you.

477
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: No refunds and you're welcome. So we're we're looking. I

478
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: think it's safe to say that, like what we're already

479
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: seeing is a long established pattern of people, honestly, people

480
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: taking some agency for themselves, and people say I don't

481
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: necessarily need another person and all that baggage that comes

482
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: with it. Uh. If I already know what I want?

483
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: Um right, and this this is a trend that content,

484
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: I gotta say spoiler alert, uh for everybody listening. I

485
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: am so excited to get to some poetry in a second,

486
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: because I'm like emotionally nine years old. But I think

487
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: we've got maybe just something, just another thing to add

488
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: in here beforehand, which is we've also established past the

489
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: world of like so past the ancient world. When we're

490
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: talking about a lot of this stuff, we're talking about

491
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: people who are probably considered to be people of means.

492
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: I mean, history itself as we know it is is

493
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: kind of inherently a history of the literate class, because

494
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: they're the ones who could write. So are I guess

495
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: what I'm asking? I'm not sure how to freeze this

496
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: what we're rich people doing at this point, Like they

497
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 1: weren't using bread, that's what the servants were for. No,

498
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: but you're so right they I don't think they used

499
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: as many root vegetables and stuff because they had money

500
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: to pay for nice things and um. By the time

501
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: of the Renaissance, rich folks had Dildo's custom made from

502
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: silver and ivory and gold and other like precious materials.

503
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: So they had like I mean, very valuable sex toys

504
00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: in their possession and probably beautifully decorated. Did don't you

505
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: think oh you I would think that, yeah, because you're

506
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,719
Speaker 1: showing them off to the neighbors right herself in your

507
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: bedroom and you're like, hick, this one has is adorned

508
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: with garne. There's a certain element of keeping up with

509
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 1: the Joneses of course the sex toys aium. I think

510
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: I really skip this period in history already, but I

511
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: just wanted to mention something that I though I ran

512
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: across um in terms of like what the rich we're doing. Uh,

513
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: there's a rumor. I think it's backed up with with

514
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: actual findings, archaeological findings. But apparently Cleopatra would use like

515
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: a papyrus box full of live bees as like first analog.

516
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: I saw a hollow gourd that she filled with bees

517
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: and that was the first legend says that was the

518
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: first vibrator um, which I have never wanted to get

519
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: off enough to put live bees anywhere close to my body.

520
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: But if okay, seriously high road people, Diana, geez, Cleopatra

521
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: it was a different world. She had different things available

522
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:17,399
Speaker 1: to her, different available so true, Well, what mean yeah

523
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: for words? You like? If you feel a loss for words,

524
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 1: I think you have perfect timing, my friend, because we're

525
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: finally getting to a little bit of poetry. And what

526
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: I love about this kind of poetry is that, just

527
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: like Beethoven's really dirty songs about farting and stuff, it

528
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: proves that people back then we're not really different from

529
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 1: people today. Uh and yeah, in school we read about

530
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: we read about the the high flutine, noble stuff. But

531
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: I think I think sometimes we miss just how potty

532
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: humor the human population news. I kind of compare it

533
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: to like, you think your dad didn't look at porn,

534
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 1: but he definitely looked at porn and his father and

535
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 1: on and on. I mean, that's very true. I think

536
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 1: that's an interesting thing about history is remembering that people

537
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 1: loved to have sex, people love to make jokes. I

538
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: remember listening to a Noble Blood episode that podcast Noble

539
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: Blood is very good, and she was talking about reading

540
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: some people. She was like, historians take this story really seriously,

541
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: as this like leader being a bit to her like whatever.

542
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: But she's like, it's actually clearly a practical joke. If

543
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: you look at it as a prank, it's just a

544
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: funny thing she was doing with her court. You have

545
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: to remember that people did did play jokes on each

546
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: other back in the day where fully stoic all the

547
00:35:55,160 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 1: time and winning wars or whatever. But yes, speaking of etymology,

548
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: I know you're an etymology fan, Nol, but the actual

549
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,280
Speaker 1: word I do love etymology myself, but the word dildo

550
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: came from our friends, the Italians. Thank you, Thank you Italy.

551
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: If it came from the word do letto, meaning to delight,

552
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: makes sense, slide and glide and delight the three things.

553
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: The double D sound is always just a fun it's

554
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: a delight to say dildo. It sounds like like a real,

555
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: real silly goofy thing. Yeah, and I've got to ask,

556
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 1: so uh beat behind the curtain folks for years, always

557
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: trying to convince our bosses to let me do an

558
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 1: etymology show right in and tell them we should uh

559
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 1: and that the four of us will do it. I'm

560
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: volunteering everybody here. We need your help. But this reminds

561
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:59,919
Speaker 1: me another another word that came into English usage from

562
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: Italian is uh dilettante, And I think it has the

563
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: same ultimate route right to do. So my question is,

564
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: even though now we call dilatant, you know, we call

565
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 1: the definition a lover of the arts or whatever. Um,

566
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: did it mean dildo people in the beginning A lover

567
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 1: of the dildos? It's people who had way too many

568
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 1: in their dildo orium whatever, Like she has a whole

569
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:36,439
Speaker 1: other room. Guys, why would I needlock? I don't even

570
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: have ad dildo let alone, MANI it would accommodate an

571
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 1: entire rack. We'll be adding another wing onto the palace.

572
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, we have a really wonderful, hilarious body poem

573
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 1: about kind of about the Italian influence here. It was

574
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: by John Wilma, who was the second Earl of Rochester,

575
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: and he was apparently well known for his lewd poetry

576
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 1: that he would write. And um, we pulled out some

577
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 1: select verses from kind of a long poem called signor

578
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:18,800
Speaker 1: Dildo that he wrote. That's that's Mr Dildo, right Di Dildo.

579
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, I say, let's head on down to poetry

580
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 1: corner and here signor Dildo by John Wilmot. You would

581
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: take him at first for no person of note, because

582
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 1: he appears in a plain leather coat. But when you

583
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:40,760
Speaker 1: his virtuous abilities, no you'll fall down and worship Signor Dildo.

584
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 1: My lady South ask heaven prosper her fort. First clothed

585
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 1: him in satin, then brought him to court, but his

586
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: head in the circle he scarcely durst show so modest

587
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 1: a youth was Signor Dildo. The Countess of foul myth

588
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: of whom people tell of. It's been wear shirts of

589
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: a guinea and now might save that expense if she did.

590
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 1: But know her lustier swinger you signor del do whoa

591
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 1: the pattern of virtue, Her grace of Cleveland has swallowed

592
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: more bricks than the ocean has slant rhyme right there,

593
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:34,399
Speaker 1: I gotta get in. Credit has said Cleveland has sat.

594
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:39,800
Speaker 1: But by rubbing and scrubbing so wide does it grow?

595
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 1: It is fit for just nothing. But the Senora Dilda

596
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 1: our dainty fine duchesses have got a trick to dote

597
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 1: on a fool for the sake of his brick. The

598
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 1: fops were undone, did their graces, but no the discretion

599
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:03,320
Speaker 1: and the vigor of signor dildo. This senior is sound

600
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:08,800
Speaker 1: safe ready and dumb as ever was candle, carrot or

601
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:13,399
Speaker 1: thumb been away with these nasty devices, and show how

602
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: you rate the just merit of seeing your dildo? Beautiful,

603
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:22,359
Speaker 1: beautiful beautiful. So I want to point out just two things,

604
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,879
Speaker 1: real quick. First, dumb in that last first great read

605
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 1: everybody wait three things, um. Second, dumb in this sense

606
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 1: most likely just means silent, but it works, it works

607
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 1: very well. Yeah, congratulations himbo. So I also I don't

608
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: think We said this in the beginning as we were

609
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:51,240
Speaker 1: excited about talking about this off air. Um Diana Eli.

610
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: This is not the full poem. These are excerpts. Have

611
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 1: it in the notes as select versus from this poem.

612
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: My question is how long is this book? Is? Just

613
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: like also exactly, I had nothing else to do. So

614
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: this ship went on for like I think it was

615
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: like eighteen or nineteen stands any name dropped so many

616
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 1: people and I'm like, I hope they're real, Like were

617
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 1: they here listening? Like are you trying to say that

618
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 1: I have swallowed more pricks than the ocean has sand?

619
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: So specifically people, well, this is I don't know if

620
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 1: they're real people, but I think so. I think I

621
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 1: think he is at least referring some because this happened

622
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:41,359
Speaker 1: a lot in uh In in aristocratic circles. They would

623
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:45,879
Speaker 1: write stuff that are roasty kind of like they would

624
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 1: they would be writing stuff that's like, you know, they

625
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: put a different name on it, but everybody knew who

626
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 1: you meant. You know, you meant that slutty chick over there,

627
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 1: you know, yeah exactly. So it was always like some

628
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: unders some shade, and he was trying to one thing

629
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 1: I love about this style of poetry is it's so

630
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 1: smug and self satisfied, like just like I'm gonna do

631
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 1: the thing again, like at the end of it. You know,

632
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: it's just like, yeah, like the fact that there's like

633
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 1: the fact that there's so many more stands us than

634
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,439
Speaker 1: this that we left out just hammers that home even

635
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 1: for right on the head. I am just so delightfully

636
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: body and uh and hilarious. That's what this guy's Oh yeah,

637
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 1: he was very proud of this poem. I'm sure very

638
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 1: excited to share with all the ladies that he was

639
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,800
Speaker 1: talking about it, like, hey, I put you in my poem.

640
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 1: Oh my god, thank you? What man, you never read

641
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 1: it first? Should come to the show. I also wonder

642
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 1: if the Countess of Falmouth was like, oh, so I

643
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,240
Speaker 1: don't have to funck my footman and give him nice stuff.

644
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 1: I could just get me a little toy to put

645
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 1: in the house. This this is also this is where

646
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,439
Speaker 1: we see like a turn. So it's widely accepted, even

647
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 1: though it might be a little edgy. Right. Uh, this

648
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 1: guy's doing insult comedy tail as old as time, right Uh,

649
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,280
Speaker 1: but as as you guys have been telling us before.

650
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 1: Eventually there was there was a time where guys started

651
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:26,919
Speaker 1: to promote h dudes, I mean specifically started to associate,

652
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 1: but they ran a smear campaign against still those right,

653
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:33,800
Speaker 1: it's promiscurity, it's a v D. But at the same time,

654
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: for the entire time, dudes had their their own toys,

655
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 1: right and uh, Eli, I'm just I'm gonna have to

656
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: go hashtag no pun left behind because it's sincere. When

657
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: you at the very top of the show said male

658
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 1: insecurity because it's been a long day for me, I

659
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 1: thought you met a male hyphen I n space security. Yeah.

660
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do with that pun, but

661
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to leave it out in the cold.

662
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, like a guard, some guard who can't uh,

663
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 1: you know many securities. Will belos romantics help us out.

664
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 1: Just explain that punt to us, the punt. So, uh,

665
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: this is fascinating because we haven't talked about something that,

666
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: uh is apparently quite popular. I feel weird saying it.

667
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: I feel like my mom's gonna come back and find

668
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 1: me if I say this. Cock rings yeah, oh god,

669
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 1: but they're old to dude. My favorite I do one

670
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 1: of my favorite Mr Show sketches like a fake commercial.

671
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:45,320
Speaker 1: It's like cock Rane warehouse. Any cock will do, but

672
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: they're like so bored that they're like, come on down

673
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:52,359
Speaker 1: to the Cockrane, the cock Rane new and used, cock

674
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:56,800
Speaker 1: Ran vintage. Yeah, I like it. I love that. It's hilarious,

675
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 1: it's fantastic. But yeah, they are act pretty old school

676
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,439
Speaker 1: cock rings. They have been around for a long time.

677
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,800
Speaker 1: Um part partly, I guess because of that male in security,

678
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 1: because they're supposed to help you achieve or keep an

679
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: erection for longer. So it's kind of part of I

680
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: guess that where they're like I need something to like

681
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 1: make sure UM given her the goods about edging where

682
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 1: you're sort of keeping yourself, it's almost like a tantric

683
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:27,800
Speaker 1: thing where you're sort of like holding back, you know,

684
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:31,919
Speaker 1: you're trying to not you know, climax in two point

685
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 1: five seconds, trying to give it some time. There's a

686
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 1: book called The Book of Kink Sex Beyond the Missionary

687
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 1: by Ava Christina, and it says that in the Gin

688
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 1: and Song dynasties in China around a d D, they

689
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 1: would make cock rings out of a goat's eyelid because

690
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 1: it's already a circle of skin and then they would

691
00:45:55,040 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 1: leave the lashes on the like, can I just say

692
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 1: the things we've done to goats on this show, and

693
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:10,719
Speaker 1: even when we went on your show last time for

694
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day, as we put goats through Yeah, there's some

695
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 1: goat vivisection involved in one of those rituals that we

696
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 1: talked about. It was it was the goat skins. They

697
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: would We had a guy marry a goat in a

698
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 1: recent episode that we talked about that. But yeah, that

699
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 1: we just we are we're putting goats through it. Yeah. Well,

700
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 1: it's part of a long history too of looking to

701
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 1: the natural world for things that are thought to in

702
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 1: one way or another enhanced sexual performance. Right, And even

703
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 1: that even exists today with the various different unproven or

704
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 1: disproven stories that say, hey, you know what, this thing

705
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 1: is an aphrodisiac. I know it sounds crazy. Just let

710
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 1: the most disgusting, smelly, like unappetizing things that are like

711
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:14,799
Speaker 1: this will really turn you on. They're like, otherwise it's trash.

712
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 1: I've got to make it a sex or something. Just

00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:23,959
Speaker 1: a lot and they're like, no, I don't have time.

715
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:27,840
Speaker 1: It's going down in the next room. Just give me

Speaker 1: the goat give me the goat cock right now, you're

717
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 1: right to. I mean, like, I mean, I think I

718
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:40,360
Speaker 1: love oysters, but they're obviously really unappetizing. It was it

719
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 1: was Hemingway said to me, like was very brave. Was

720
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:47,320
Speaker 1: the man who first ate an oyster? You know, like

721
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 1: that's meant meant to be an effort. Yeah, I'm acquired

722
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:53,880
Speaker 1: taste for sure. How does don't know about that? I

723
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 1: don't know if I need an oyster? I mean, like,

724
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 1: and I don't know. They say about garlic too, but

725
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 1: that's another one. I'm like, does anyone eat a bunch

726
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:03,399
Speaker 1: of garlic and go yes? I can't wing to mash

727
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:08,879
Speaker 1: my mouth up against hers. I smelled you across the room,

728
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 1: and I knew it was a cloud as well. So

729
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a big believer in being honest and

730
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 1: transparent about learning, and I'm gonna go out and say it.

731
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,360
Speaker 1: I don't care if I embarrassed myself. I did not

732
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 1: know that goat eyelash cock rings were a thing I

733
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 1: must have that I must have missed that day m P.

734
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:34,480
Speaker 1: And I apologize to everyone. It was a whole day

735
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 1: of health class. I kept nudging you, but you were

736
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:40,759
Speaker 1: sound asleep. How would you fall asleep during that last

737
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 1: So stayed away for the etymology, but not this? So

738
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 1: what we all? This also makes me think of um

739
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 1: things that people have done, and this I do know

740
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:57,799
Speaker 1: about things people have done in pursuit of enhanced sexual pleasure. Uh,

741
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 1: including what I would call minor surgery, because yeah, guys,

742
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 1: we can say this as dude, We'll do a lot

743
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 1: of crazy stuff if they think it gives them just

744
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 1: an edge switch. Don't really you have this covered there,

745
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 1: But like you know, I mean the Prince Albert literally

746
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 1: was created by Prince Albert. You know, you know it's

747
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 1: obviously a piercing yeah, through the the through the urethra

748
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 1: and out the bottom of the of the head. It's

749
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 1: terrifying prospects not worth it, but I guess it is

750
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 1: for some I don't know. I don't know. I don't

751
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 1: want to yu anyone, but you know, these are some

752
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:44,319
Speaker 1: of the ones that you found, Diane. I think are

753
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:49,360
Speaker 1: maybe a little more like impermanent, yes, fortunately, but still painful.

754
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. But yeah. There's this book called Woman

755
00:49:53,560 --> 00:50:00,160
Speaker 1: and Historical Gynecological and Anthropological Compendium from and it's by

756
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 1: Hermann Heinrich Ploss, Max Bartle's and Paul Bartle's and they

757
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 1: say that this goat eyelash cock ring thing may have

758
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:11,279
Speaker 1: originated in the Indonesian Islands and not in China, so

759
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 1: that's a little bit in dispute. And they also noted

760
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:19,399
Speaker 1: from various tribes worldwide sex aids like inserting a brass

761
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 1: wire into the penis or putting little gold and silver

762
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 1: beads under its head and then binding it up with

763
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 1: a bit of bird down to tickle the sex partner

764
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 1: at the same time. Okay, folks out, you wouldn't put

765
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 1: a silver ball on your penis for me. No, I

766
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:40,640
Speaker 1: don't need to hesitate on that one. That's just a

767
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 1: flat Okay, that's fair. I wouldn't ask it of you

768
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:47,320
Speaker 1: to be fair, but thank you. Um. Yeah, so that

769
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:50,799
Speaker 1: was an option that you could do. Again, I think

770
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 1: that's a ribbed for her pleasure thing, trying to make

771
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:57,279
Speaker 1: your dick more special, I guess, or something. I mean

772
00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:00,359
Speaker 1: sticking of brass. Why, I guess that's for rigidity, right,

773
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 1: we're thinking so you can kind of bend them into

774
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 1: shapes like a paper clip animal. Oh oh wow, like

775
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 1: a like a paper clip animal. Yeah, I can see

776
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:14,239
Speaker 1: how that would be possible. But I'm having a tough

777
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 1: time with the motivation, you know what I mean, teach

778
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:20,880
Speaker 1: the exactly teach. Yes, I don't know. There might be

779
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:23,239
Speaker 1: some people out there with very fascinating little giraffes they've

780
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 1: built out of their dicks. Well, I guess I'll look

781
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:29,359
Speaker 1: at a gallery of it, but not for long. Um, yeah,

782
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 1: well I would. I would think also then that aside

783
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:37,320
Speaker 1: from those kind of traditions, we already see the idea

784
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:40,560
Speaker 1: of wanting to be associated with wealth like gold and silver,

785
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:44,879
Speaker 1: the beads, Um, But what about did they ever move

786
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 1: on from the goat eyelash thing? Like? How how much

787
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 1: of history have I missed? I guess I'm asking was

788
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 1: this almost just like a thing that you knew about?

789
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,320
Speaker 1: Or like no, no, no, no, no, I mean definitely

790
00:51:57,360 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 1: I was aware that, Like I think early condoms were

791
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 1: made of sheep skin, But that's the that's the degree

792
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 1: to which I was aware of using animal flesh on

793
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 1: your member um. But then you know, then you get

794
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:16,479
Speaker 1: into what was this the Burmese bell Burmese bells. That's

795
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 1: a kind of the next the next level of this, right. Yeah,

796
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:23,359
Speaker 1: this is another really interesting one. And this one could

797
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:26,759
Speaker 1: be placed either inside the vagina prior to sex or

798
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:33,080
Speaker 1: in the penis um. I guess it was for sale goop. Yeah, yeah,

799
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 1: it's very good for your vaginal health. Um. But they

800
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 1: were called exertion bell or Burmese bells. And this again

801
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 1: we're in the Ming dynasty, so this is a lot

802
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:47,319
Speaker 1: of ancient Chinese, uh, sex aids, I guess. And they

803
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:51,240
Speaker 1: were kind of copper or gold bell or ball shaped

804
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 1: objects that contained the sperm of a mythical Burmese bird

805
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 1: and apparently had to catch the sperm with like a

806
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 1: fake woman made of raw. There's like a whole sounds complicated, Yeah,

807
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 1: a whole complicated process to getting this sperm. And the

808
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:12,400
Speaker 1: Ching scholar Chaoy describes holding one of these in his

809
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:15,640
Speaker 1: hand and he said, quote, I found that as soon

810
00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:18,279
Speaker 1: as it had become a little warm, it started to

811
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 1: move on its own account, and a tiny sound emanated

812
00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 1: from it. As soon as I put it back on

813
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:27,279
Speaker 1: the table, the sound ceased. Oh god, I hope the

814
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:34,320
Speaker 1: sound was like, oh, that would be fun. It was like,

815
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 1: I know what you're about to do, baby. But that

816
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 1: was the one like the bees where I was like,

817
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:43,240
Speaker 1: if something starts to jump around and make its own noise,

818
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:45,839
Speaker 1: I feel like I would not put it inside my body. Yeah.

819
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 1: I didn't go there, Ben. I was immediately just thought

820
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 1: this sperm is haunted sperms the man, which some people

821
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:02,359
Speaker 1: would be into. It's true. Hey, I think we've done

822
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:07,160
Speaker 1: them on this very show, or we will. Holy cow,

823
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:09,879
Speaker 1: I'm blushing. But also, you know, I learned a lot

824
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 1: about what a ride my body, which is a temple

825
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:17,239
Speaker 1: but also apparently a playground it has been throughout history. Yeah,

826
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:20,880
Speaker 1: I learned. I I candidly learned some stuff that I

827
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:24,799
Speaker 1: can't unlearn. A lot of uh, I can't remember if

828
00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:26,799
Speaker 1: this is if we already got to this part one.

829
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 1: I think we did a lot of stuff about goats.

830
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 1: M hm. Yeah. Yeah, it's I mean, mental images that

831
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 1: I can't unsee, but I don't want to. I'm if

832
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:38,320
Speaker 1: I'm forever changed by them, and I'm okay. With that,

833
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 1: you know what an experience? What what a wild ride? Well,

834
