Earliest account of the origin of the dildo
Drawings by Borel, and engraving by Ulluin, for Les Mémoires de Saturnin ou Le Portier des Chartreux, 1787
Several accounts of the origin of the dildo have been published in Britain and elsewhere. The
earliest
thorough-going attempt is taken by one writer to be the "Wonderful and Edifying History of
the Origin of the
Godemiché or Dildo" printed at the end of an erotic work The Schoolfellows; or
Young Ladies Guide to Love
(London, 1830). The account is a translation from L'Histoire merveilleuse et édifiante
du Godemiché in the
second part of "L'Aretin ou la Débauche de l'Esprit of Abbé
Dulaurens" (Rome,1763 and 1768).
