an early modern dildo shop

from the frontispiece to the school of venus, or the ladies delight, reduced into rules of practice, a sex manual printed in 1680

My birthday was this week, so in celebration have this piece of absolutely delightful history.

-JYB?

I could not help my curiosity and followed the link above to the free Google book.  Skimmed a few pages.  Rest assured … pleasurable kinks are nothing new.  An excerpt below … you just have to convert all the miniscule “f” into “s” as you read an old English text.  A 100 ways, huh? …. hmmmmmmmm ….

I just realized that this was printed during the Restoration in England. OMFG of course it was. I wonder if Nell Gwynn had a copy?

Guys I’m about ¼ of the way through this and it is PURE. GOLD. It’s basically one woman (Frances) giving her cousin (Katherine) a 1680s sex ed class.
