History of Vibrators

 

The history of vibrators started in 1869 with the invention of a steam powered massager, invented by an American doctor.

 

This was designed to treat female disorders. In 20 years, a British doctor invented a battery operated vibrator.

 

Doctors of this day used these tools to treat hysteria. This was considered to be the most common health complaint of the day for women.

 

Genital massage was proscribed to treat this condition. A women's mental or emotional distress was a indication of her need for sexual release or orgasm. This was called hysterical paroxysm.

 

The doctors of the turn of the century were happy to use the vibrator as a time saving device, as it allowed hysterical paroxym to occur in a short time.

 

Soon the vibrator was marketed in women's magazines and ail order catalogues. They were promoted as a cure all for illnesses from headaches and asthma to improving your beauty.

 

By the 1920s doctors had abandoned the use of vibrators and moved on to other forms of treatment. Today, it is hard to imagine doctors using vibrators and the history of vibrators is quite fascinating.

 

Today, there are many forms of vibrators in many shapes, colors and textures.
