is interesting to see how one idea can lead to another, and this film (Wexler, 2011) does a good job at showing that. Something that surprised me in the film (Wexler, 2011) was that Charlotte ended up actually getting away with her attitude and actions. She received only thirty days of jail time, and I found that quite shocking considering what time period the film was based on. According to Rosenthal (2013), a vibrator is used to stimulate the genitals and arouse the clitoris and vagina (pg.265-271). In the film Hysteria (Wexler, 2011) that is exactly what the doctors are doing with their hand until Dr. Grandville and Dr. Edmund invent the electric massager, which is comparative to a modern day vibrator. Rosenthal (2013) also goes to mention that women can achieve orgasms at an average of four minutes through masturbation, and the film (Wexler, 2011) demonstrates many women achieving orgasms quickly through stimulation. The information presented in both the film (Wexler, 2011) and the text (Rosenthal, 2013) are quite consistent with each other when it comes to vibrators and the female orgasm. Sexual education in families is not exactly a topic in the film Hysteria (Wexler, 2011), but I can see how it can relate. Dr. Dalrymple raised his daughter in believing in medicine and forced them to understand hysteria and what it was. Emily listened and believed her father while charlotte did not. The point is that in Victorian England, at the particular time the film was set in, it…
Granted, the vibrator rabbit and other high-tech dual-actions are somewhat more complicated than your run of the mill slimline. But these fantastic toys are beyond doubt worth a try, so read up and get geared up to join the rabbit revolution. The number one thing to do is take a look at your vibrator rabbit and identify the two key parts: The "shaft," which is the portion that looks like a phallus or penis, and an external "bunny" clitoral stimulator. Then, make for sure you've got your…

hysteria, were massaged in the genitalia with one finger inside using oil of lilies, musk root, crocus or something similar. They were massaged by physicians during the Victorian era. This led women to be aroused to paroxysm. It is a stimulation recommended by Galen and Avicenna amongst others. The treatment was mostly recommended for young women, public women, or married women because married women can engage in intercourse with their husbands. A vibrator was a Victorian invention. It was…
A microcontroller is a small single chip computer that can do calculations automatically at high speeds with great accuracy. The walking stick is equipped with an ultrasonic sensor along with a water sensor. The project uses the ultrasonic sensor to detect obstacles ahead using ultrasonic waves. On seeing obstacles the sensor passes the data to the microcontroller. The microcontroller then processes the data and does some calculations to determine if the obstacle is close enough. If the obstacle…
I removed my hands from my boobs and raised my spread knees, and I felt quite a rush as I completely exposed my pussy and anus. Elizabeth gently teased my pussy with my vibrator, and pulled back the hood of my clitoris and held the vibrator there for a few moments, and I moaned. "Please push the vibrator inside my pussy," I told her as I spread my lips, and I moaned again as I stared at the people watching her slide my vibrator inside. She gently fucked my pussy and rubbed my anus as I stroked…
Despite the fact that vibrator sales are less discrete and can be easily seen on store shelves; there still appears to be a stigma attached to female sexuality that might make it more difficult to openly discuss these topics. The stigma comes from a variety of sources that include ideas of female purity, heteronormativity, and the medicalization of sexuality. Though we don’t see the diagnosis of hysteria anymore I definitely believe that this type of medicalization left a lasting impression on…
Whether it be early in the morning with a partner or just riding home in the car from work, the possibilities are endless. Sex toys are a way to give self-gratification. A lubricant “…makes everything feel better…,” (Davis 111) Dildos on the other hand gives a better stimulation. A dildo is shaped like a man’s penis. The word dildo defined means delight. (Davis 116) Combined with a lubricant the sexual pleasure you receive from the vibrating stimulation can send a person into another…
satisfy sexual desire, it does not mean this idea just harms women. If a woman has a function to satisfy sexual desire, it means that a person has such function. Thus a man, as a person, also has this function. If women can be an object that is used as something to satisfy men’s sexual desire, a man can also be an object that can satisfy women’s sexual desire. The argument that men cannot be object is based on the traditional idea that men are domination and subject in the society, and deny the…
