The use of vulvular massage as a therapy for "hysterical" patients dates back to Hippocrates. During the 19th century, it caught on as a treatment for the rampantly diagnosed afflictions hysteria and neurasthenia. The doctor of Alice James, the sickly sister of the famous Henry and William, probably brought her routinely to "hysterical paroxysm."

I can only conclude that men thought women needed to be "fixed" because something was wrong with them. Duh !!!

Sorry for the fluff post. Every time I tried to put text in it messed up my media and then I'd get that weird thing where my whole vox was pasted into the text box. I just gave up. Besides, anything worth saying about sex toys done been said. =D

The "Duh" wasn't about you at all....it was about the presumption that women needed to be fixed. Hopefully we've evolved since then, huh !!!.

Actually, the post was a learning experience. I had NO idea such products were advertised back then......so thanks !!
