Seems quite a good idea, but I have not got the bottle to wear the T-shirt.

Strange? I thought wearing T shirts proclaiming yourself to be a c..


Too easy.

You see, I knew some other c-word would say something like that. I suggest you take the 5th, Mither.

It appears to me that the woman pushing this as "new knowledge" is a little deficient in her knowledge of medical history (in the US) although the reluctance of many to discuss "nasty stuff" makes it quite plausible that she only learned she had one more recently.

Although the descriptions are a bit primitive, the "Home Medical Manual" that my dad kept hidden in the rafters in the garage (conspicuously enough to be sure we found it) when I was in grade school had a reasonably complete description of the organ (page 38 ff) and, for the ©1935 time frame, an unexpectedly complete analysis of "what you could do with it to give a woman more pleasure."

All the boys in the neighborhood joined me for sufficient "reading sessions" (surreptitiously, of course) to have at least some awareness of the basics. I can't say whether the girls were similarly informed, but that was my sister's responsibility ...

Of course not all neighborhoods had the advantages of resources and inclinations for literacy as in mine ... .

The "sort of popular" book, The New Book of Good Vibrations ©1997 provides an apparently authentic history of "methods of stimulation" including reference to a "steam powered massager" patent in 1869, and of the teaching of medical practicioners in how to use this organ in cases of "female hysteria," along with complaints from physicians dating back to 1800 or so that "demand was excessive, it was boring, and it took too much time from more profitable practice" and when the BOB (aka. B.O.B.) appeared as a commercial product available to "housewives" (except in Texas and Arkansas even now) the treatment by physicians was promptly "outlawed." While the excessive demand obviously indicates a lack of awareness by "husbands" medical knowledge was hardly nonexistent. (But the BOB probably does a better job than either the docs or many hubbies .. or lovers?)

I see no harm in spreading the ... word, and many potential benefits for those who can handle a little knowledge without hurting themselves.

In Victorian times, rich women could have a therapy session that was basically giving them an orgasm.

Why would anyone need anything more than "Plain Facts" by Dr. John Harvey "tie their hands" Kellog? (I have an original hard copy.)













(yes, of course I'm being facetious! But scroll thru that tome to see what we have had to overcome)

I agree with John in Kansas. This is old stuff.

I learned about this aspect of milady's anatomy when I was back in high school, and that was some centuries ago. Not in high school, but there were a number of very good "marriage manuals" available on drugstore paperback racks.

I've been reading a few edifying bits from Kellogg, including reading some to my wife, and we've been mostly laughing ourselves sick; but some of it gets chilling . He mentions a young woman who could only be cured of the evil of "self pollution" through a surgical procedure; I just realized I don't even know what in hell to say to follow up on that.

There's little to say about Kellog except to remind people how things once were... and to remember that **some** still think that way.

It never ends..... every generation has to learn..

I have the book, but I had to check to refresh my memory on what it said. Might as well have a correct citation.

In Victorian times, rich women could have a therapy session that was basically giving them an orgasm.

Historical references indicate that it was not just for "rich women" but that the particular procedure was the most common treatment administered for almost any woman consulting a doctor from around 1850(?) to about 1930. (Search suggestion: female or feminine hysteria?)

It is suggested that early papers in the 1930s (before the books) by Kinsey and his associates enouraged many doctors to instruct their female candidates for the process to "go tell your husband to ..." - with a significant reduction in application of the procedure by the doctors who considered it "unprofigable," although there's little to support a corresponding reduction in "hysterical females" that should have accompanied the change if the husbands had listened.(?)

Examples from oriental art indicate widespread knowledge of the existence of that part of female anatomy at least hundreds of years ago, although those who appreciated oriental pornography then and in intervening times seem to have had little more actual knowledge of the details than modern Manga devotees. ("Cartoon" pornography is legal and popular in Japan even now, but no more educational than the cinematic junk we have here - which mostly still remains illegal there.)
