Good vibrations

Melissa has a post about Alabama's ban on marital aides possibly going before the Supreme Court. That should be good, if it gets there.

I often wonder, though, when I'm brushing my teeth, if Oral-B and other companies don't do bang-up business in Alabama and other such states.

Also, do the women down there buy a lot of cucumbers? (Link NSFW) You know, for salad.

I love this stuff. It's just goes beyond nonsense.

The vibrator as we know it today was invented for doctors and midwives, because there was a booming business in curing women's "hysteria."

"Hysteria was considered to be a disease of the womb which caused irritability, discomfort and a general malaise."

Or, as sane people would know it, sexual frustration and/or the extreme horniness that accompanies a woman's period.

Yes, women used to go to the doctor to get rubbed off monthly (or even more frequently). The “hysterical paroxysm” (orgasm) would cure them of their disease.

But the manual stimulation could take a long time, and there were a lot of patients. No shit! {slaps forehead} So the vibrator was invented as a medical device, so they could get it done faster.

Now, men, if you're attentive and GGG, you know a satisfied woman is a good thing. Hell, I know how cranky I get during a dry spell of, say, 24 hours or so.

And yet there are men who in the name of the bible and the Baby Jeebus would like to prevent this. What. Fucking. Morons. Meanwhile, you know they're all popping Cialis and Viagra, for "procreation," you know.
