Apparently large penis size was in style in the 18th Century!
Polish archeologists excavating a latrine on the grounds of a site believed to be a former swordsmanship school discovered a very well-preserved leather dildo among the historic debris.
I don’t know about you, but I see a connection here between all those swords and the leather phallus. After all, in Tantra the penis is called the Lingam – a ‘sword of light.’ The Lingam goes into the Yoni, which is the ‘sacred space’ – a lot more poetic than putting a ‘dick in a pussy,’ don’t you think?
The leather phallus itself is a whopping eight inches long, with plenty of girth, as you can plainly see from the photo. The Daily Mail is reporting that a spokesperson for the Regional Office for the Protection of Monuments in Gdansk said the dildo is, “large, thick, filled with bristles, and has a wooden tip.”
The artifact is on its way to be cleaned up and investigated further, but It remains unclear whether the dildo was thrown into the latrine on purpose or not!
