As a sexually active and curious woman, I’m obsessed with uncovering and sharing knowledge about sexuality.

After years of open conversations with friends and partners, plus extensive research on the topic, I stumbled upon some jaw-dropping gems that’ll make you blush — and maybe even revolutionize your sex life.

1. The Surprising History of Vibrators

While digging into the world of sex toys (yeah, I’m that curious), I found something fascinating.

In the 19th century, women showing any signs of sexual frustration — aka wanting to climax but nobody knowing how to help — were diagnosed with “hysteria.”

Doctors back then had a peculiar “cure”: manual pelvic massage until reaching “hysterical paroxysm.” Translation: fingers until orgasm. The problem? Poor docs started complaining about tendonitis!

That’s how vibrators were born: as medical equipment. Imagine! The first was a giant steam-powered machine, followed by the electric model in 1882.

Fun fact: vibrators were the fifth approved domestic electric invention — beating toasters and vacuum cleaners to the punch. Priorities, right?
