We discuss all types of music, rock to classical, literture, actors, actresses and movies...
I knew this was going to be a different conversation when the first question asked was, 'Have any of you ever used a prostitute?'
"Oh... My... God???"
This question was posed by Liam Larry... and I think it took Jerry, myself, and another lunch guest, Homer, by surprise... I will call him Homer because he looks like this...
He really does look like this...
Answers started with me... "nope..." and as we proceeded around the table, it seemed that Jerry and Homer had, while Liam Larry and I hadn't... all in all, which after the fact, I found rather depressing...
Sooo... the conversation went all over the place... lap dances, hand jobs, costs, what the prostitutes would or would not do... I do admit to being rather naive, but I was taken aback a bit by this conversation, believe it or not!!!
Anyhoo, Larry announced that back in the Victorian Era, women would visit their doctors for issues like hysteria and whatnot, and the Doctors would induce orgasms to relieve the tension...
Wha-Wha-Wha-Wha-Whatttt?!?!?!?!
I thought after I returned from lunch, I would do some research and share it with you...
HERE is one link for your consideration... I never knew this... Did any of you? Have any of you ever heard of this??
HERE is a paper written by someone at John Hopkins University.
HERE is a report from ABC News, although this isn't quite the same thing...
Would you visit a doctor for this "treatment?"
I also recall a former colleague bragging to me one Monday that over the previous weekend, he spent $400 on lap dances...
I wonder if laps come with load limits?

Well, Valentine's Day is right around the corner... have you bought your Honey a present yet? Here is what I've been told that I'm going to get...
I was thinking that this should be every day... no?
~shoes~
I hate to tell you but it is true women would go to their Dr.s for hysteria...and the Dr.s would give them manual clitoral rugs..hahahaha I learned that in nursing school...also the first nurses were prostitutes can you believe even our mother Nurse Nightengale was a former prostitute..can I can see why I get paid to touch men's penis
ReplyDeleteSince I read historical fiction, I was familiar with the practices of doctors in the Victorian era of treating "hysteria." I remember being alternately horrified and amused. The orgasmatron is just damn intriguing. There are times when it would be nice to not have to work for it. Just flip a switch and then get a nice night's rest. Wow. I can see spending lottery money on that. I will have to add it to my list of what I spend my Huge Lotter Winnings On. Top of the List is now Orgasmatron. LOL.
ReplyDeleteNo, it most definitely not should be EVERY DAY. Blow jobs make horrible lines around the lips. Nobody wants to look ten years older, not even after an orgasm.
ReplyDeleteOh god I can't stop laughing at the lap dance load limits picture
ReplyDeleteThere's going to be a movie about the invention of the vibrator. I assume that some "doctors" of the day needed help in curing the hysteria of their patients and since necessity is the mother of invention ... Voila!
ReplyDeleteA radio station here has a "Steak-and-Blow-Job" Day. Sandra is right, though. Every day is a bit much. Even if you are suffering from hysteria! ;)
They call him Doctor Feelgood.
ReplyDeleteI actually read about that "cure" somewhere...
ReplyDeleteEvery day? I think not, it would make it boring and not "special", would it not?
hysterical paroxysm, i believe, is what they called it back in the day. boy. talk about taking the magic out of it...
ReplyDeleteBlessings.....
ReplyDeleteBack in the day they did a lot of messed up stuff that would absolutely blow your mind.
photo of woman sitting on man's lap...woo, gotta give the brother props cause he know what he likes and ain't afraid to show it or who knows it.
Have a blessed day
I read about massage machines in victorian physician offices. I still can't understand how they got these women to agree to such a treatment initially but I can understand how they got women to come to follow up visits ;)
ReplyDeleteBoston Legal did an episode on this- go find Season 2, Episode 20 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang'.

We were in a bar in Michigan once and a man was bragging that his new bride woke him every morning with eggs and a blow job. Someone at our table turned to the King and asked.. do you get that every morning..
ReplyDeleteWithout even blinking the King said.. "Hell no, she can't cook!"
I spit my drink across the table..but so did everyone else sitting there..
I saw a documentary on it. Imagine the vibrator being ivented as a medical aid. beats Valium , I guess. :)
ReplyDeletei wanna give my sweetie a v-day card that says, "my love, i hope your crotch is clean 'cause i'm going to bury my face in it..."
