Technology is a wonderful thing that has affected every aspect of our lives hundreds of year - including in the bedroom.
But while sex toys today can do just about anything - including pleasuring your partner from miles away - things were a little bit different, and a lot less aesthetically pleasing, 100 years ago.
In Glamour's latest video, 100 Years of Sex Toys, viewers are taken through the last century of bedroom gadgets - and some of them are downright scary.
The clip begins with the 1920s, introducing the era's all-metal Polar Club Electric Vibrator, which looks more like a pneumatic drill gun than a sex toy.
The device was one of several marketed as 'beauty aids' at the time and used by doctors to treat 'hysteria' in women.
For the following decade, vibrators exchanged metal for more plastic-heavy designs such as the Magnetic Massager.
Women in the 1940s apparently got a bit more creative by using a bulky scalp massage machine called the Oster Stim U Lax for Barbers containing a suspended motor. The strange-looking metal device even included an elastic strap to ease handling.
With a similar design to the Magnetic Massager, the Wahl Hand-E Vibrator was created to be faster, quieter, and even came with a variety of settings.
For the 1960s portion of the clip, Glamour show off the Vibra Slim sex toy, which looks like an elongated cushion made for a woman to straddle, and the Niagara Hand Unit, which was the first sex toy designed for internal use.
From there, the designs appear to get smoother, more discreet and sleeker, such as the Hitachi Magic Wand, which is still a big seller today, decades after it was mass marketed in the USA in the 1970s.
Anyone who has watched Sex & the City would recognize Glamour's choice for the 1980s evolution of the vibrator: The Vibratex Rabbit.
Purple, translucent and with multiple over-the-top features, the Rabbit was a leap forward in technology for the bedroom and famously became a huge seller more than a decade after its introduction thanks to its use in the episode The Turtle and the Hare.
Silicone is the big news in the 1990s thanks to its skin-like feel and flexibility, which is why Glamour go with the Magnum Silicone Dildo by Fun Factory for their representation of the decade's favorite toys.
After the turn of the millennium, ladies were able to enjoy a bit of vibrating self-pleasure in the bath thanks to waterproof dildo designs such as the Jimmyjane Form 6 Vibe. Sleek designs in metal and stone also became popular.
In the present day, vibrators tend to be small and sleek - with some even tiny enough to wear on a necklace - and teledildonics are all the rage.
These devices, such as the OhMiBod Club Vibe pulsate to music or a lover's voice or can even be controlled remotely through a data link, giving partners the ability to dole out pleasure whenever - and wherever - they like.
