"Les Bijoux Indiscrets, or, The Indiscreet Toys" by Denis Diderot is a novel published anonymously in 1748. This allegorical work follows Sultan Mangogul of Congo, who receives a magic ring with unusual powers: when pointed at a woman, it makes her vagina speak about its amorous experiences. The Sultan, bored with court life and suspicious of his mistress Mirzoza, uses the ring repeatedly at social gatherings, causing confusion and embarrassment as intimate secrets are publicly revealed.
