vibrator

I was invented in the 1880s by doctors, who had been ostensibly treating women for "hysteria" for centuries by performing what we would now recognise as masturbation. At the time, however, not only did doctors regard the "vulvular stimulation" required as having nothing to do with sex, they reportedly found it time-consuming and hard work. I got the job done more quickly and without such efforts, and as such I was extremely popular with doctors. Home versions of me began to appear soon after and became equally popular, with adverts in places like Needlecraft, Woman's Home Companion, Modern Priscilla and the Sears, Roebuck catalog. The ads disappeared in the 1920s, apparently because my appearance in pornography made it no longer tenable for polite society to avoid the sexual connotations of using me.In my more common guise as "body massagers", millions of me have been sold to both men and women. Some of the purchasers never use their purchases for anything other than relief from muscular tension or aches and pains. However, many people who purchase me marketed as "body massagers" — and, presumably, most people who purchase me marketed as adult toys — use me to attain sexual release, primarily in masturbation, a form of autoeroticism. I often allow people to achieve orgasm faster and easier and am often said to provide stronger orgasms than those produced by hand stimulation alone. I am often recommended by sex therapists for women who have difficulty reaching orgasm by other means. Couples also use me sometimes as an enhancement to the pleasure of one or both partners.The sale of me and similar "novelty items" is forbidden in several states in the southern USA. In the state of Texas, the sale of devices for sexual stimulation such as dildos and I is technically illegal, but many stores will sell such items provided that the customer sign a statement that I will be used only for educational purposes.
