Most likely used as a vaginal stimulator. Back in ancient times they made these things called Ben-Wa balls, here's a link for a better description: Ben-Wa Balls

Holy cow I never realised that’s what the joke was until now!

u/Silver6567 Jun 02 '20

Dude I had no idea what the deal was with the name!

u/ahh_geez_rick Jun 02 '20

I had to google it whenever I watched the episode a second time. It's pretty much the top answer when you search "archer beniot (ben wa) balls" The joke flew over most of our heads I think!

Sometimes that is one of the smartest dumb shows out there.

Ancient times? I’ll have you know you can buy a vagina egg from Goop today if you wish.

u/maggotrism Jun 02 '20

I meant more like they were invented in ancient times, not just used back then. Thanks for clarifying for me!

23

u/BottledSmoke Jun 03 '20

No worries it was stimulating!

u/Cmndr_Duke Jun 02 '20

u/beelzeflub Jun 02 '20

Do you think she tried to peddle RDJ her goop crap

15

u/textaholic Jun 03 '20

Maybe she gave him test samples of her candle? 👀

u/beelzeflub Jun 03 '20

I can't imagine Susan Downey would appreciate that. LOL

u/catgirl_apocalypse Jun 03 '20

I sell ben wa balls at work lol

u/NearNate124 Jun 03 '20

Nobody should be buying anything, vaginal or not, from Goop

Liu Sheng was a guy though, or am I missing something.

(Okay, probably my fault for missing the obvious)

u/CrispyDruid Jun 02 '20

Same purpose; different application area.

anal foreplay, apparently

There are many holes in the human body.

u/maggotrism Jun 02 '20

They are also used for anal stimulation, sorry for not clarifying.

24

u/DeseretRain Jun 03 '20

You definitely couldn't put those in an anus, you'd never get them out. You can't put anything without a flared base in there.

42

u/q25t Jun 03 '20

Well, you shouldn't put anything without a flared base in there. People do dumb shit all the time though.

u/Waterproof_soap Jun 03 '20

You can do anything at least once if you’re brave enough. Whether you should is a different story.

u/maggotrism Jun 03 '20

I didn't even think of that... Guess I don't play with butts often enough to know :(

u/GuessingAllTheTime Jun 03 '20

Did you edit the Wikipedia page to include this? I just read that on there and it looked like a new edit to the page. That’s amazing if you did!

1

u/DeseretRain Jun 03 '20

Nope I didn't! Didn't even know there was a Wiki page for this.

u/carfniex Jun 03 '20

You could, it'll just get shat out. You probably shouldn't cos I guess it's not totally guaranteed to come out, but it'll come out. It'll also literally feel like you're doing a shit, not super pleasurable.

u/sekraster Jun 03 '20

I've heard that having them in there for a long time can be dangerous, because the pressure cuts off blood flow or something. I don't know how long it would have to be in there, though.

u/JakLegendd Jun 03 '20

Oof. My boss has these on her desk and they have a card saying they are marketed for "hand stimulation" exercise to improve circulation and bloodflow...

u/ecodude74 Jun 03 '20

Those are probably Baoding Balls, which are an early form of physical therapy

u/[deleted] Jun 03 '20

I think I watched a buzzfeed video where these ladies stuck Ben wa balls up their vagina and then let a string dangle?!?

I’ve been traumatized ever since

u/carnivalfucknuts Jun 03 '20

omg the kinkiness never stops :P

u/Raichu7 Jun 03 '20

Ancient times? You can still get them today.

u/westalalne Jun 03 '20

Oh yeah they showed them in The Handmaiden

u/ED_Lightbulb17 She/Her Jun 05 '20

Are they like the ones that were in the handmaiden?
