                                        Once Upon A Time...
                 I walked a few times past the department store salesclerk who was
                 eagerly demonstrating the big blue and white massager.	"On sale -
                 - only $19.50 today," she said.  Although I had heard about sexual
                  uses for electric vibrators, I couldn't justify spending twenty
                 dollars just to try the massager for masturbation.  So I turned my
                  back and asked her to hold the whirring machine to a chronically
                  tight spot on my right shoulder.  The massager was stronger than
                    any I'd ever felt.  The low speed produced a deep throbbing
                 sensation.  The high speed was so fast it either tickled or hurt,
                 depending on how it was touching me.  It hurt my shoulder so good
                 that I bought it without further hesitation.  At the time, and for
                     some weeks later, I didn't even try masturbating with it.
                  Up until then, the only way I had masturbated was with my hand,
                 occasionally using an object in my vagina at the same time.  I had
                   inserted the handle of my electric toothbrush into my vagina,
                     enjoying the gentle vibrations and warmth, but it had not
                  occurred to me to use it on or near my clitoris.  Within moments
                   after I held the new blue and white vibrator to my clitoris, I
                  experienced the most intense orgasm of my life.  Although it was
                  all over before I knew what was happening, I saw great potential
                                    for pleasure in my new toy.
                    My partner and I, being yard sale and flea market fanatics,
                   started to collect "antique" and just plain old vibrators and
                  massagers at every opportunity.  After a couple of years, we had
                      acquired more than thirty treasures.  At first, I tried
                 masturbating with every one and found, to my delight, that all of
                  them, regardless of size, shape, or intensity of vibration, gave
                  me orgasms.  We kept them amid the jumble of their own cords and
                       loose attachments in a fabric suitcase under our bed.
                  Periodically we would haul out the suitcase, untangle a few, and
                  plug them in for our friends to giggle or marvel at.  Some went
                                  out on loan and never returned.
                  During this time, I was being trained as a sex therapist and was
                   working with many women who had never experienced orgasm.  The
                     women in my groups who wanted to experiment with vibrators
                  expressed distress about how awkward they felt purchasing them.
                 Shortly thereafter, I decided to open Good Vibrations, a vibrator
                   store especially (though certainly not exclusively) for women,
                 with a vibrator museum (actually an antique oak showcase) for the
                 public display of our collection.  I also wrote and published the
                                    first version of this book.
                  Since 1975, I have learned a great deal about vibrators.  In the
                  store, I have had the opportunity to talk with hundreds of women
                 and dozens of men about all aspects of vibrator use.  During this
                   time, people have talked more and more openly about vibrators.
                  Sales of vibrators in drug, department and discount stores have
                     mushroomed.  In these settings, of course, advertising and
                    promotion are still aimed at the consumers' sore muscles and
                  tired feet.  However, once many of these vibrators get home and
                    out of the box, they probably spend most of their turned-on
                  moments turning someone on.  People are not only using vibrators
                   more, they are also increasingly talking, writing, and reading
                                            about them.
                              The "Hysterical" History of the vibrator
                      Did you ever wonder what mysterious ailment confined the
                  Victorian woman to her bed? Our prim and proper ancestor had the
                  doctor scurrying up the stairs with his little black bag and the
                            servants whispering about "female troubles."
                     Not infrequently, those "female troubles" were "hysteria,"
                    believed in ancient Egypt and Greece to be the revolt of the
                   uterus against sexual deprivation.  Webster's reminds us that
                   "hysteria" derives from "the former notion that hysteric women
                  were suffering from disturbances of the womb" (now you know why
                       men are almost never hysterical!) and defines it as a
                 "psychoneurosis marked by emotional excitability and disturbances
                  of the psychic, sensory, vasomotor and visceral functions."  It
                    wasn't until 1952 that the American Psychiatric Association
                              dismissed hysteria as a valid diagnosis.
                 Historian Rachel Maines has recently provided us with a wealth of
                   information about the standard medical treatment of "hysteria"
                    using vibrators.   Maines shows that "the electromechanical
                 vibrator, introduced as a medical appliance in the 1880s and as a
                    household appliance between 1900 and 1905, represented a de-
                   skilling and capital-labor substitution innovation designed to
                 improve the efficiency of medical massage, a task performed since
                    ancient times by physicians, midwives and their assistants.

                   Medical massage "from the time of Hippocrates to that of Freud
                  included the clinical production of orgasm in women and girls."
                    According to medical and midwifery texts of the 1600s, "the
                   treatment generally consisted of the insertion of one or more
                     fingers of one hand into the vagina and the application of
                 friction to the external genitalia with the other.  Fragrant oils
                  of various types were employed as lubricants in this procedure."
                  The objective was to induce "hysterical paroxysm," manifested by
                    "rapid respiration and pulse, reddening of the skin, vaginal
                  lubrication and abdominal contractions."  Sounds very familiar,
                   doesn't it, but at the time it was considered an activity more
                        appropriate to the doctor's office than the boudoir!
                  Maines writes that not all physicians recognized this "paroxysm"
                     as an orgasm, but some medical authors through the ages do
                   "comment on the morally ambiguous character of the treatment,
                    including [one physician] who observes that genital massage
                   should be reserved 'to those alone who have clean hands and a
                   pure heart'."  Later therapies included massage with a jet of
                 water, but "hydrotherapists warned that patients were inclined to
                    demand more treatment than was considered good for them."  A
                  seventeenth century doctor complained of the fatigue factor for
                     the physician in massage therapy and the long practice and
                   considerable dexterity required (not to mention the stress of
                         keeping those hands clean and those hearts pure).
                    Maines credits George Taylor, an American physician, with a
                   primary role in the development of the modern vibrator in this
                 country.  In 1869 and 1872 he patented a steam-powered massage and
                  vibratory apparatus for treatment of female disorders, intended
                 for supervised use "to prevent overindulgence."  By 1900, "a wide
                           range of vibratory apparatus was available to
                     physicians....Articles and textbooks on vibratory massage
                     technique at the turn of the century praised the machines'
                  versatility for treatment of nearly all diseases in both sexes,
                     and its [sic] efficiency of time and labor, especially in
                   gynecological massage....By [1909] convenient portable models
                   were available, permitting use on house calls...."  (So that's
                          what was inside the doctor's little black bag.)
                   Until the end of the 1920s, vibrators were advertised in many
                 respectable women's magazines as home appliances, primarily as an
                 aid to good health and relaxation, but with ambiguous overtones -
                   - "All the pleasures of youth will throb within you," reads a
                  typical ad.  Maines believes that the disappearance of vibrators
                  from doctors' offices and magazine advertisements "may have been
                 the result either of the adoption of psychotherapeutic treatments
                  [for hysteria] by physicians, or of the appearance of vibrators
                              in stag films in the Twenties, or both."
                     Most of the electric vibrators discussed in this book were
                  neither designed nor marketed (until very recently) with sexual
                                           uses in mind.
                     In a 1981 Esquire article, author Mimi Swartz reviewed the
                  emergence of the vibrator as a big business venture, with sales
                  totaling about $13 million in 1980.  This is a remarkable story
                  when you consider that the manufacturers are marketing a product
                  without advertising its main benefit.  Imagine trying to sell a
                  toaster by saying that it is a metal box that gets very hot when
                  you plug it in -- and that's all.  Apparently, this non-existent
                 marketing approach failed, since several mainstream manufacturers
                                     no longer make vibrators.
                 Electric vibrators/massagers have been manufactured in the United
                  States since around the turn of the century (the most elderly in
                   my collection was made by Hamilton Beach and carries a patent
                     date of 1902).	However, the first electric vibrator openly
                  advertised for sexual use was an American-made, multi-attachment
                   model, repackaged with a clitoral stimulator tip, and sold at
                   first almost exclusively through the mail in the early 1970s.
                   This particular brand is now sold primarily by discount stores
                 alongside the hair dryers and electric toothbrushes.  The package
                 insert is pretty tame; all sexual references have disappeared.	In
                   the late 1980s, a well-stocked department or discount store in
                    some parts of the country may carry as many as four or five
                   different brands of electric vibrators, and lest rural readers
                   despair, the Sears catalog has always included a full line of
                 good quality vibrators (manufactured for them by others).  Are you
                                             surprised?
                       Interesting, isn't it, that vibrators which lost their
                  respectability once they were shunned by the medical profession
                 are now seen as an important tool for women taking control of and
                                     enhancing their sexuality.
