Female Hysteria Really!
Female Hysteria was a once a common medical diagnosis, reserved exclusively for women, once termed to be a disorder of only women thus the root words being hysteria, as it was originally thought that the uterus was a free floating object in a woman's body, and when lost would cause her to be hysterical the original cure was for the doctor to masturbate the woman.
Female Hysteria But ironically, women's sexual pleasure was the furthest thing from the minds of the male doctors who invented vibrators almost two centuries ago. They were interested in a labour saving device to spare their hands the fatigue they developed giving hand jobs to a steady stream of 19th century ladies who suffered from_ hysteria, a vaguely defined ailment easily recognisable today as sexual frustration (Never had that at my Doctors). Therein hangs a strange tale that provides quirky insights into both the history of sex toys, and cultural notions about women’s sexuality
Female Hysteria These beliefs left an enormous number or women sexually frustrated. They complained to doctors of anxiety, sleeplessness, irritability, nervousness, erotic fantasies, feelings of heaviness in the lower abdomen, and wetness between the leg (oh R Missus). This syndrome became known as hysteria, from the Greek for uterus.
Female Hysteria Fortunately, a reliable, socially acceptable treatment appeared. Doctors or midwives applied vegetable oil (OMG) to women’s genitals and then massaged them with one or two fingers inside and the heel of the hand pressing against the clitoris. With this type of massage, women had orgasms and experienced sudden, dramatic relief from hysteria. But doctors didn’t call women’s climaxes orgasms. They called them paroxysms because everyone knew that women were incapable of sexual feelings, so they could not possibly experience orgasm. How wrong can one be.
Today, female hysteria is no longer a recognised illness , Thank goodness! , although the cure sounds a pleasant experience. Here ending the History lesson.
