First sex aid recommended in China
The first explicit recommendation of sex aids - as opposed to their age-old use- in China was
made by Buddhist
monks who urged the use of sex instruments during the reign of Empress Wu Tse-T'ien (A.D.
1685-1704).
Historical records show that the imperial physician, Ming Chtung-yen presented the Empress
with a sex aid called
a "live limb" for her amusement in the royal bedchamber. The device, made of rubber, was
brought to the imperial
capital by a Buddhist monk from India via Tibet. A full description is found in a Chinese
version of one of the
Buddhist classics (E. Chou, "The Dragon and the Phoenix") - a nun, having "the
need," has a "live limb"
manufactured for her use"When it was ready, the nun took it with her into the inner room. She
tied the rubber
live limb to her ankle and pushed it inside her by bending her knee and moving her foot so that
her carnal desire
was satisfied."
