Do you know what electric device was created BEFORE a vaccum cleaner?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 73/100. AnnieOakley1 (2645)   ranked 18 out of 791 in sex 2 years ago

I created a discussion earlier about female hysteria and the treatment was for a Dr. or a midwife to give a genital massage to get the woman to climax. It was very time consuming and could sometimes take hours. Thus, the development of the vibrator came about for this purpose. So, it took minutes instead of hours.

In 1870, a clockwork-driven vibrator was available for physicians. In 1873, the first electromechanical vibrator was used at an asylum in France for the treatment of hysteria.

By the turn of the century, the spread of home electricity brought the vibrator to the consumer market. The appeal of cheaper treatment in the privacy of one’s own home understandably made the vibrator a popular early home appliance. In fact, the electric home vibrator was on the market before many other home appliance
’essentials’: nine years before the electric vacuum cleaner and 10 years before the electric iron. A page from a Sears catalog of home electrical appliances from 1918 includes a portable vibrator with attachments, billed as ”Very useful and satisfactory for home service".

I knew that in the 1800s only a physician had them .. and treated women for "hysteria".. lol. Even in the late 20th century in nursing homes, a doctor might order a vibrator for the patient to use in the privacy of their bathroom or bedroom. I remember one doctor ordering one on the chart for one. I remember the nurses kind of giggling over it. shocked

I know my doctor pretty well..he is from Spain and speaks 4 languages but I doubt very sincerely if he would speak that one with me, although he is head of internal medicine at the hospital!rofl

Spanish, eh? So, he may have a certain view of all women. Hmmmmm.

Well, you don't necessarily have to go to your family dr, you know. There are plenty of other doctors out there. You never know. *giggles*

I saw an episode of a show on tv once that talked about these in great detail. They were silly looking things, but many of them looked like what a Hatachi massage device does.

Gosh Annie,
About all I can say is Wow! No I didn't know this.
Hmm. 3 1/2 pounds ? That must cause a few men here to worry. lol. But on the bright side, the price seems reasonable.lol
I'd still have to say though that the old fashioned way has to be better, or that err, umm, free is always free if you know what I mean. lol
I do agree with the lady who said it looks a bit like a blow dryer. .OMG ..What did I just say ! whistle
I think I'm gonna just hush.
Cheers!

Hello, Annie. I had a very bad experience with a vibrator about 25 years ago, and I think I'm scarred for life. w00t I went to an Ann Summers party, and the sales girl passed around a vibrator with about 6 interchangeable heads. She swithed it on, and passed it around - in the box, I hasten to add - for us to se it in action, so to speak.

Well, there were about a dozen people there, but it waited until the box got to me, and then the biggest attachment of the lot jumped out into my lap. fear It was jumping all over the place, and I was laughing so much, I couldn't get hold of it. Then my friend said, 'Sandra, I think you've pulled!' and that was it. I was hysterical, I can tell you. rofl To this day, whenever vibrators are mentioned, I think of that and I just fall about laughing. I'm scared to try to use one, in case I laugh so much I miss the target!


myLot reputation of 73/100. AnnieOakley1 (2645)   ranked 18 out of 791 in sex  2 years ago

That is hilarious. You poor thing. Scarred for life, eh? Oh, dear. But, just too funny. Thank you so much for sharing that with us. Gave me a really good laugh. roflcheering

I am just wondering why it was the responsibility of the doctor or midwife to administer this sort of "treatment". Why wasn't the husband taught how to properly take care of his wife, especially since it seems like it was a rather a widespread problem back then?doh whistle devil

I agree. thumbup It did say that sometimes the husband's were recruited to help, but only after the Dr. and subsequently the midwife got tired of having to 'administer' the treatment so often if it took too long. rofl

hi annieOakley1 wow even before the vaccum cleaner, what the heck
was wrong the husbands of that era? seems to me they would be cheaper
than buying an electric gizmo. he hehe At least now days the device is cheaper and smaller, but still the old fashioned way beats the cold hard electric "husband subsitute".blushblushspooked


myLot reputation of 73/100. AnnieOakley1 (2645)   ranked 18 out of 791 in sex  2 years ago

I agree Hatley. The men of that era didn't think women were sexual beings at all. So, they didn't need satisfying. blink

Apparently, if some women were hard to 'treat' (it took a long time) then, the Dr. would get the midwives to do it, and if they got tired of doing it, then sometimes they would recruit the husband to do it. AND they still insisted it was not sexual in any way.shocked

Men thought the earth was flat and only they had sexual thoughts. Women were supposed to banish such thoughts from thier mind as being unladylike. And they wonder why so many women still today are sexually repressed.dunce cap
