What were they thinking back then ??

If you thinking that's F'd up... look up the original therapies for women's "hysteria" back in the victorian days.
Now married women had husbands to deliver therapuetic "messages," but what about all those young virginal women, as well as widows? A doctors hand could get very tired after a hard day at the office, so it was neccesary to invent steam-powered vibrators to assist the busy doctor, as women needed repeated treatment for their disease.
And I thought the Sybian on the Stern was OTT. :)

I won't post a pic, but juct google "steam hysteria"
