Ever wanted to know a cure for female psychopathic ways? Well with dates going back as far as the 1600’s a disease know as hysteria literally translated as “womb disease” was diagnosed to women. It was thought that the female organ or uterus made all women susceptible to diseases.

A movie called “Hysteria” starring Maggie Gyllenhaal and Hugh Dancy is a romantic comedy about the disease hysteria in the 1880’s. Hugh Dancy’s character works for a doctor who practiced hysteria for a living, later invented the first know vibrator, and determined that hysteria was a fictional disease.

Hysteria was once of the most frequently diagnosed diseases in history, which in many cases it was probably mistaken as a psychopathical disease. It was determined that since the cause for hysteria was from the uterus that the cure for it had to be based there too. Physicians believed that by massaging a woman’s genitals making her reach a hysterical paroxysm or better known today as an orgasm would cure it.

It was believed that the only way a woman could reach an orgasm was by intercourse. With many hypothesizes of hysteria there were many who believed many with hysteria were simple sexually deprived and encouraged intercourse with their spouses. In other cases women were mentally insane and diseased.

In the 1880’s the very first vibrator was invented by a British Physician who found that it caused multiple paroxysm in a faster amount of time then by hand. Once it was know many doctors used vibrators in offices to their female patients who had been diagnosed with hysteria. Not long soon it was being sold as a medical vice to help women suffering with hysteria.

It was much later in 1952 that Hysteria was finally removed as a disease by the American Psychiatric Association. For reasons being that the symptomatology of hysteria consisted with normal female sexuality.   So as it was recommended in the late 1800’s and as it still is today for a happy woman and a healthy woman, more orgasms the better!
