| The electric vibrator was introduced by Kelsey Stinner in the eighties of the XIX century to cure what was at that time called "congestion of the genitalia" and "female hysteria". Their common symptoms were fatigue, sleeplessness, nervousness, irritation and so on. For ages, doctors had been curing females for these illnesses by performing what we in the XXI century would call as masturbation. They manually massaged women's genital area till they experienced sexual gratification, or as it used to be called "hysterical paroxysm". Hysteria was not a fatal medical condition, yet, it required regular treatment. Pelvic massage was difficult for doctors to master, and it took hours before "hysterical paroxysm" was achieved. The invention of the electrical vibrator turned a few hours' pelvic massage into a several minutes' procedure.
With the widespread of electrical vibrators, patients started deploying them for self-treatment at home, which made the vibrator one of the most needed "must use" devices.
Doctors, yet, were unwilling to agree that female hysteria originated from sexual dissatisfaction and the vibrator was designed to compensate for the insufficiency of physical pleasure.
The first man who explained the causes of hysteria and called it a pseudo-disease was Sigmund Freud. He invented the term "libido" and showed the function of inborn instincts in the life of every person.
Nowadays the vibrator is viewed as an effective medium for a woman learning to orgasm or to do it rapidly and with ease. Most women who deploy it do not consider it a substitute for the penis. Quite the opposite, they introduce the vibrator into their intimate life to experience a multiple orgasm or have it quicker with partners. Vibrators are known for boosting sexual drive in women and sensitivity.
Still, there have been a few cases when due to the excessive usage of the vibrator females desensitized nerve endings of the genitals, which made further use of the vibrator compulsory to get sexual satisfaction. Women become addicted to vibrator massage and cannot experience sexual satisfaction when making love with a man. So, the vibrator should be used rationally as a helpful device. |
