Art History ❤️ The Toys of Eros

The relationship between sex toys and the myth of Eros has an interesting background. Sex toys, like dildos, are objects that have accompanied humanity for millennia, with evidence of their existence dating back approximately 30,000 years. These artifacts, used for pleasure and sexuality, are related to practices of desire, themes closely linked to the figure of Eros.

In the oldest myths, Eros is considered one of the primordial cosmic forces that emerged from Chaos to give rise to the universe. Its power of attraction not only caused the union of cosmic forces, but also promoted the creation of life and the perpetuation of existence. This ability of Eros to unite and create is in tune with the purpose of sex toys, which serve as means to explore and expand sexuality.

Since ancient times, humans have used objects designed to increase pleasure, especially in fertility rituals or in the practice of sexuality, which connects with the primordial function of Eros as a generating and creative force. Thus, both ancient myths that describe Eros as a fundamental cosmic force and sex toys share a connection with creation, desire and the exploration of sexuality, which are essential aspects of the human experience since time immemorial.

Sex toys are not just artifacts of pleasure, but an extension of the creative power of Eros,

It is fascinating how, throughout history, human creativity has given rise to an enormous variety of utensils and devices that fulfill functions that are often surprising or unusual to those who are not familiar with them. Sex toys are a clear example of this. Over the centuries, countless objects have been designed with very specific shapes and characteristics to satisfy Eros' desires.

It was in Ancient Greece where these devices were consolidated. In Greek civilization, a wide variety of dildos made of leather filled with wool have been found, giving them different thicknesses and firmness. They were then lubricated with olive oil for use.

In turn, the Greeks were the first to name these devices "toys", establishing the term we know today.

Thanks to the writings that have been found in different texts by Greek authors, you can know the different uses that were given to them, or the form they had. Thus, in the work Lysistrata by Aristophanes, the use to which they were given or the dimensions of the toy are mentioned several times; or in the work of Herodas, Mime VI, from the 3rd century BC. c.

What's even more incredible is how innovation in this area has continued to evolve, adapting to cultural and social advancements. This phenomenon reflects the creativity and diversity of human desire, which is not limited to social and cultural conventions, but seeks to explore and expand the ways in which we experience sexuality and pleasure. Utensils that, for the most part, might seem unthinkable or unusual to someone outside this world, have a long tradition of being linked to sexuality and the search for well-being, a search that, as we have seen, is deeply connected to ancient myths. like that of Eros.

If you decide to experiment with sex toys, do it with curiosity and humor! Don't take everything so seriously; Sometimes trying something new can be as fun as discovering something about yourself. Do your research, learn what you like, and don't limit yourself by what others may think. Train, new challenges, and more centimeters!
