I can remember reading all about this many years ago. Having an orgasm was also classed as something essential to beauty and was classed also as a beauty treatment as it brought about a glow and natural flush to the cheeks.

I did see the movie Hysteria.

I was told about this by a psychologist so before you start laughing perhaps you should think of others feelings that perhaps still live through certain things everyday where this term if they were in that day still apply. It might be funny to you but for for some it is a reality in many different forms.

Yes such a good read thanks for sharing!

I’ve heard of hysteria before. Beatlemania etc

Yes heard of it, saw a movie about it. It is funny, probably not for the women of that period though. Women were looked down upon in that era in every way. They were brought up to believe that their only position in life was to please their men, have their children and be upstanding citizens protecting their husbands good name. Not that that is a bad thing either.

Years on, women have been liberated in oh so many ways, most for good, some men still refusing to recognise and value women and their position and contributions to the world. (Besides having children). Now women are encouraged to have a go at anything they desire to. And some women feel they don’t need men to meet their needs. Hence the various vibrators which can be purchased today. What a marvel of medical discovery. Hysteria brought a lack of fulfilment for many women who wanted something more than just meeting their partners needs. And look what you can buy now an abundance of various vibrating gadgets. Ah, Invention the mother of necessity.

Hi Ladies, Yes it is true! I first heard about Hysteria from the movie. It’s a really good giggle, I recommend it. I had to write about it as it’s such an interesting part of history. Love Liz @ Miracle Minded http://www.miracleminded.com.au x

Saw a movie on this topic too, was fantastic it is true…. Doctor’s made a mint it is true.. Men labeling omen, opened a pandora’s box for the doctors to do.. Silly men still some around too, also women faking orgasms too. A real one is not to be missed….. if you get my mature womans gist. Not written in a book but there has to be openness, chatter laughter. kisses too. passion takes patience, honesty too, Oh my wonderful it is true, an experience never forgotten it is true

Movie mentioned in the feedback sounds interesting.

i googled and found nothing on this but I did see a episode of some that happened called “Penis Panic” lol men were convinced there bit was shrinking and disapearing lol thats not funny!!! unless your female Bahahahaha

Wasn’t there a movie made about this released a few years ago?
If it was on Medicare, you wouldn’t get to choose which doctor ‘administers’ the ‘treatment’. On private, I you could nominate Who and When…..

such a good read thanks for that

very nice

There was a movie made with Hugh Dancy.

I’ve heard of the term ‘hysteria’. It’s often referred to during chaotic situations etc. I describe my sister as ‘hysterical’ when she gets unusually upset and comes out with the most stupid, bizarre and nasty comments. That for me is ‘hysterical’ over-the-top behaviour. I’ve not understood it as a medical term.

I think there was a movie about this story, should find time to watch it for a laugh.

An’t we all pleased we live in this day and age.

They even made a movie about it! A couple of years back, coincidentally called “Hysteria”.

If only all those doctors looked like george clooney in er!

I hadn’t heard that before but I am thankful for it and the device the doctor invented.
