Vibrators & Adult Vibrator
Here's a great one for your “Did You Know…” conversation starters – Adult vibrators date back to the time of Hippocrates, the 4th century Greek physician who believed that a woman's womb was not a fixed object, but wandered aimlessly throughout her body looking for trouble and causing fits of hysteria (from “hysteros,” the Greek word for womb). Contemporaries in the medical profession claimed that the womb's wanton wanderings and the resulting momentary breathless nervousness that unmercifully gripped women was caused by sexual deprivation – thus its notably higher occurrence in virgins, widows, nuns and wives with slacker husbands. The medical solution was for doctors to manually bring female patients to “paroxysm,” which we know today as the orgasm and at the time was believed to free women of all sorts of internal evils. Problem was, without the benefit of modern day vibrators, bringing a woman to paroxysm was considered a tedious, time-consuming job not at all convenient for the busy physician with a high patient volume. And the thought of a woman handling things herself – well, that just wouldn't do. According to Avicenna, the scholar credited as the founder of early modern medicine, this was “a man's job, suitable only for husbands and doctors,” as it was considered a morally corrupt and potentially dangerous task for the weaker sex. This medical-and-moral dilemma would result in the development of the adult vibrator.
The eventual development of the vibrator began with vulvular hydrotherapy, the shooting of an intense stream of water directly at a female patient's genitals until she achieved orgasm. The technology was effective, but boy was it messy. The 1880s brought the world's first electric vibrator, an industrial-sized, permanently-fixed vibrator contraption that meant countless visits to the doctor's office. Then came vibrators for the home. The first handheld adult vibrator hit the market in 1902. Women-oriented publications like Needlecraft, Woman's Home Companion and the Sears & Roebuck catalog sold vibrators via discreet back-of-the-book ads. Subsequent versions of the handheld vibrator over the decades, particularly throughout the 1940s and ‘50s, would be camouflaged so as not to upset polite society. Vibrators came disguised as nail buffer kits, hairbrushes and vacuum cleaner attachments. In fact, the vibrator was a driving force in the development of small electric motors and by the 1920s vibrators were more prevalent in American homes than were electric toasters.
My, how times have changed! Today's woman enjoys the freedom to take control of her own sexual health and pleasure with vibrators, dildos, vibrating panties, etc. And Spicy Party is here to help with a dizzying line of vibrators.
