Apparently the Polish in the 1700s liked to get freaky. This roughly 8-inch sex toy was unearthed while archaeologists were excavating an 18th century toilet in Gdansk, Poland. Scientists are dating this dick to be around 250 years old, and it’s in surprisingly good condition.

Le’s get to the real question on everyone’s minds: how did a dildo end up in a toilet? The dildo was found at what is believed to be a fencing school, so I can only assume some poor, overworked soul took to the bathroom with their dildo to find some relief from the daily grind of trying to stab people. I guess our ancient masturbator got a little into it and dropped the dildo into the toilet and (wisely) thought it was best to just leave it there. Good call, because I don’t think they had sanitation back then.
If they didn’t have sanitation, they definitely didn’t have the amazing technologies and materials used to make dildos today, so they had to improvise with leather and bristles. I guess you gotta do what you gotta do to get your rocks off.
“It is quite thick and rather large, made of leather and filled with bristles, and has a wooden tip that has preserved in excellent condition,” the country’s Regional Office for the Protection of Monument said in a press release.
Even if it’s believed to be in good condition, I think I’ll stick to my rabbit..
