Added 2023-10-05 15:40:11 +0000 UTCI couldn't resist sharing this as it was truly a way to relieve hysteria. It was originally believed hysteria was solely a woman's issue. Of course it was proven not the case. I would venture to say, however, it still is a way to relax the nerves. 😈
Doctors in the mid-1800s and early 1900s thought by massaging the clitoris and fingering a woman, it helped relieve her chaotic mind once she orgasmed. Naturally, the doctors became overwhelmed by the numerous appointments requested. 😏 They employed midwives to help handle the volume.
This inspired the first vibrator, created around 1869--and it was steam powered. It shortened the time from hours to minutes for a woman to get "relief from her symptoms."
The more you know! 💫
