| The electric vibrator was introduced by K. Stinner in the 1880s to treat what was at that time called "congestion of the genitalia" and "female hysteria". Their common symptoms were fatigue, sleep disorders, nervousness, annoyance and so on. For ages, doctors had been curing women for these medical conditions by performing what we now would recognise as masturbation. They manually stimulated women's genital area until they experienced sexual satisfaction, or as it was called "hysterical paroxysm". Hysteria was not a serious illness, nevertheless, it needed permanent treatment. Pelvic stimulation was hard for doctors to master, and it took hours before "hysterical paroxysm" was achieved. The invention of the electrically powered vibrator turned a few hours' pelvic massage into a several minutes' process.
With the widespread of electrical vibrators, women sick with hysteria started deploying them for self-treatment at home, which made the vibrator one of the most favourite devices.
Doctors, still, were reluctant to admit that female hysteria was deeply rooted in sexual dissatisfaction and the vibrator was designed to compensate for the lack of physical pleasure.
The first man who explained the causes of female hysteria and called it a pseudo-illness was Sigmund Freud. He invented the term "libido" and showed the function of basic instincts in the life of every person.
Today the vibrator is regarded as a potent medium for a female learning to climax or to do it rapidly and quite easy. Most females who use it do not consider it a substitute for the penis. On the contrary, they introduce the vibrator into their intimate life to have a multiple orgasm or have it quicker with sexual partners. Vibrators are known for enhancing sexual desire in women and sensitivity.
Nonetheless, there have been a few cases when due to the undue deployment of the vibrator women desensitized nerve endings of the genitals, which made further usage of the vibrator obligatory to climax. Women become addicted to vibrator massage and cannot experience sexual gratification during sex with a partner. Hence, the vibrator should be used soundly as a useful aid. |
