It forms part of the Institute of Sexology exhibition at the Wellcome Collection in London.
Co-curator at the Wellcome Collection, Honor Beddard said: "The Institute of Sexology presents the study of sex in all its complexity and contradiction.
"It brings together the diverse collections of data, art, testimony, and objects of those who challenged preconceived ideas about sex and tells the human stories behind the charting of sexual experience."
There is also a solid bronze phallic amulet with dangling pyramidal bells (shown above) dating back to 100-400 BC.

It is believed the 28,000-year-old smooth stone phallus -- made from 14 different pieces of silt-stone -- was used by sexually-adventurous cave dwellers.

The exhibition uses objects, documents, and research to chart the history of the evolving relationship between humankind and sex.
It includes some of the earliest sex aids, sexual imagery, and the ground-breaking work of sexologists such as Sigmund Freud, William Masters, and Virginia Johnson.

Another of the 2,000 objects on show spanning art, rare archival material, erotica, film, and photography is the "Vendee," a French handle-powered vibrator, which is believed to have been used by 18th century doctors to bring women who were suffering from "hysteria" to a medicinal orgasm.

Historians say the first rubber sex toys were being made as early as 1850 and were used in pornographic movies from the 1930s onwards.
The exhibition promises to be "a candid exploration of the most publicly discussed of private acts" and runs until September.
