In ancient times, women with anxiety, mood swings and depression were sent by their husbands to the doctor, who diagnosed them with a disease called "hysteria".
Their treatment was based on a "pelvic massage" to achieve hysterical paroxysm, today known as orgasm.
There were so many women who began to come to the doctors' offices to receive their "treatment for hysteria" that at the end of the working day the doctors found themselves exhausted and with cramped hands; for this reason they decided to invent a useful device that would produce rhythmic vibrations and achieve hysterical paroxysm more easily and quickly in the patient without the need for the common manual massage: this is the origin of the vibrator.
At that time it was considered a healing device, even the richest women had them in their homes for when they felt "hysterical outbreaks".
After the appearance of this device in pornographic films, it acquired a purely sexual-erotic nuance and began to be seen as a sinful instrument.

The famous quote "let them eat cake" has been constantly misattributed to Marie Antoinette.
It was first told in a slightly different form over, one hundred years earlier - about Marie-Thérèse, the Spanish princess who married King Louis XIV in 1660.
She allegedly suggested that the French people eat “la croûte de pâté” (or the crust of the pâté).
Although Marie -Antoinette never uttered those famous words, she did make some particularly strong statements during her lifetime.
The daughter of Austrian royalty and wife to King Louis XVI of France, Marie Antoinette was well educated, well spoken, and outgoing.
Her perceived extravagance earned her the nickname "Madame Deficit," while the fact that she was born outside of France made her akin to a traitor.
As she navigated the chaos of the French Revolution, Marie Antoinette was eventually guillotined in 1793, but in her last moments, she demonstrated her strength and defiance to those nearby.
When told by the priest who accompanied her to the guillotine to show courage, she reportedly replied:
❤ "Courage! I have shown it for years; think you I shall
lose it, at the moment when my sufferings are to end?" ❤
