TIL Doctors used to cure “hysteria” in women by performing assisted genital massage to induce ‘paroxysms’ – a polite term for orgasms. So much so that the doctors began to suffer from chronic hand cramps and fatigue.

And doctors complain about their workload **now**.
“Nurse, bring me my ribbed gloves.”
So that’s what “playing doctor” means…
This myth needs to die.
“And though other physicians of the era did describe conducting pelvic and gynecological massages, these didn’t involve the clitoris or lead to orgasm.”
“‘We could find no evidence that doctors ever used vibrators on the clitoris, either in Maines’ sources or in other primary and secondary sources.'”

Hence the vibrator.
And that is why vibrators where invented.
Now they have to hire a personal trainer
Dang. Can we bring this back?
Imagine the husband saying “hey baby let me touch you” only to have the wife say “that’s a medical procedure and you’re not qualified!”
Thought that was the milk man’s job
Hence, the illegible signatures.
Give the woman an orgasm, you please her for a day. Teach a woman how to masturbate and … shit, she doesn’t need you anymore. So, don’t do that.
Hence the invention of the vibrator
