First is the Dildoides of 1672. It was written after a plethora of sexual aids were found in luggage coming into England from France. He treats them as martyrs. Full text HERE.

And another poem on Signior Dildo by another poet, John Wilmot, in 1673.
I first learned about these sources from a very cool academic.
