What are the most interesting but little-known historical inventions?

In ancient times, women who suffered from anxiety, depression and sudden mood changes were sent to the doctor. After an “examination”, it was concluded that they were suffering from “female hysteria”.

To help combat this disease, a series of treatments were created, including "pelvic massage", with the aim of achieving what was then called "pelvic paroxysm", i.e. an orgasm.

What is Pelvic Massage.? 

Pelvic massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on the muscles and tissues in the pelvic region. The pelvis is a bowl-shaped bone at the base of your spine that supports your organs, including the bladder, rectum, uterus (in females), and prostate gland (in males).

Pelvic massage can be performed internally (vaginally or rectally) by a qualified healthcare professional, or externally through the abdomen and perineum (the area between the genitals and anus).

The treatment quickly became popular and so many women went to doctors to receive this treatment that a special device had to be created.

This artifact emitted rhythmic vibrations and massages, and at first, women of means or from good families kept them in their homes in case an "episode of hysteria" occurred.

This is how one of the first vibrators in history was created. A device that is still used today and has clearly taken on a purely sexual connotation.

It is interesting how the vibrator emerged from an apparent illness and how the treatment quickly became popular.
