Vibrators – Good or Bad for Female Orgasm?
The history of the vibrator is quite interesting. It was developed in the 19th century, for the treatment of female hysteria. Symptoms include fainting, insomnia, nervousness, heaviness in the stomach, shortness of breath, fluid retention, irritability to name a few.
Treatment was then, and the woman is a “pelvic massage”. Basically, the manual stimulation of her genitals, a doctor until he felt “hysterical”, or a modern point of view, before she had an orgasm.
List of disorders that can cause female hysteria was once almost unlimited. Female hysteria was a very lucrative medical profession and was ideal for the disease. It was not life threatening, but required constant care. Although this was a good sextoy, a powerful “pelvic massage” was difficult for many physicians to manage and massage can last for hours before the “hysterical” (Female Orgasm) was achieved. Now, doctors are often called the midwives for their patience, but this meant a loss of business.
In 1870 the electromechanical vibrator was offered to physicians and reduced processing time from hours to minutes. The use of vibration allowed the doctor to keep the treatment of female hysteria in the house, and therefore maintains that the company has made, while allowing the doctor to see several patients.
In a Sears catalog, 1918, the portable electric dildo sex was featured on “The help that every woman appreciates” the page with the household mixer, sewing machine, essentially a fan and other appliances.
Just as the doctors knew that the 19th century, using a vibrating cock ring is a much quicker way to a woman an orgasm. The funny thing is that even if the doctors realized the woman was due to hysteria, sexual dissatisfaction, they seemed to ignore the impact of sexual vibrator (or pelvic massage in the past) that handled.
