Goat eyelash cock rings? Stone dildos? Our ancestors were seriously filthy.
18th-century Empress of Russia Catherine the Great employed "foot ticklers" to turn her on.
Catherine and other Czarinas, like Anna Leopoldovna, employed girls and eunuchs as full-time foot ticklers to arouse them sexually. The ticklers also told obscene stories to help get the Empresses in the mood to have steamy fun with their husband (or their lover), and they were well-paid for their tickling services. If only that was still a career option.
The first cock rings were made from goat eyelashes.
Cock rings were commonly used in Jin and Song era China (around 1200), and were made from the eyelids of goats. The goats' eyelashes were usually left on to add an extra bit of stimulation for the humans involved. Argh. What's even stranger is that you can still buy "natural goat eye cock rings" online today. Nope.

And the first dildos were made of stone.
This ancient stone penis is one of the oldest depictions of male genitalia ever to be discovered. It came from Germany's Hohle Fels cave, and it's around 28,000 years old. Later versions of dildos were covered in a leather sheath to make them softer (and warmer), although the word "dildo" wasn't used until the Restoration Era, in a bawdy British poem about the popularity of imported Italian dildos:
"You ladies all of merry England
Who have been to kiss the Duchess’ hand,
Pray, did you not lately observe in the show
A noble Italian called Signor Dildo? …"

Sexy "petting parties" really took off in the 1920s.
Many bold young women in the 1920s rejected their parents' straight-laced, prudish, Victorian models of propriety and instead went to specially organised "petting parties" with the express purpose of pairing up with boys, kissing them, cuddling, touching them, and having a bit of under-the-girdle action. They didn't have full sex though: times hadn't changed that much.
