Vibration device in riding seat
after design by Gustav Zander
1900
Patients with hysteria and nervous weakness were treated with vibration on this device. Dr Zander used massage and vibration if these complaints were not too far advanced. Patience, caution and maintaining a good mood in often gloomy patients were crucial to success in his view.

Was all medicine before germ theory simply blood letting and forcing women to masturbate?

the money for this couldve been used for women’s health research. i will always remember this when i go into the doctor’s and THEY have to remind me that they can’t fully explain something going on with my body because they never fully studied it.
Ah yes, the olden days, when medical treatment could be an orgasm, cocaine, or a lobotomy. Roll the dice!

FYI the story that vibrator had their origin as treatment for “female hysteria” is a popular myth made up by an author called Rachel Maines to sell a book in 1999. It really has caught on, though.

I mean it checks out, hystera is ancient greek for womb, and hysteria (being a bit insane while female) was thought to be due a wandering womb. Maybe the idea was to shake it back in place, not far off of its etymology.

Hope they took their monthly bath first
Masturbating cures hysteria (sexual frustration).Â
Right. That makes sense.Â
Holy crap! The horn is worn down to a nub.
