Dildo
Dildo
A Dildo (pronounced: /ˈdɪldoʊ/) is a type of sex toy, often explicitly phallic in appearance, intended for sexual penetration or other sexual activity during masturbation or with sex partners.
Etymology
The word "dildo" originally referred to the phallus-shaped peg used to lock an oar in position on a dory (small boat). It would be inserted into a hole on the side of the boat, and is very similar in shape to the modern toy. The sex toy is named after this sailing tool, which also lends its name to the town of Dildo and the nearby Dildo Island, in Canada. The word's origins are still a topic of debate within etymology circles, though it is commonly believed to have originated in the 16th century.
