As long as humans have had dicks and vaginas, we’ve found outside ways to stimulate them. Dating back to the Victorian era, the first vibrator ever was created, however it was aimed at curing a disease that didn’t even exist.
Since masturbation in the 19th century was considered very taboo, the very first vibrators weren’t marketed as such. Instead, they were sold as medical devices used to treat “hysteria”. And hysteria being something that chicks came down with if they hadn’t gotten their rocks off in a while.
Apparently, hysteria was caused by the retention of “female semen”, which could get into the blood stream and corrupt it, so it had to be let loose of course.
Doctors would stimulate the vag until the chick would orgasm. But, their hands would often get tired quickly, so this is how the vibrator came into existence!
Ultimately, vibrators have been around longer than electricity has. The first model came out in 1734 and was operated by a crank. Electricity is what really brought them to the mainstream.
One of the first mechanical vibrators was the steam powered Manipulator. This monstrous machine hid its engine in another room with the apparatus sticking through the wall. Fucking scary.
The modern day vibrator has come along way from the big, bulky, scary looking ones. They don’t require a whole fricken room to run properly. Secondly, they can be bought for their intended use of pleasure and orgasms, instead of pretending like they’re curing a disease that isn’t even real. Also, they are made for comfort and the plastic and moulding makes them feel a lot less like a cold machine that should be found outside in the shed.
We are lucky that we live in a time where watching porn and playing with yourself is becoming more and more acceptable. Before we know it, the future of the vibrator will be a chip implanted into our genital areas that will stimulate them whenever we press a button. Sounds pretty good to me.
