Umm, I’ve never jerked off a woman, but okay…
Women would rather do drugs than go to therapy

Akasazh@feddit.nl 1 day ago
Manual stimulation was the term I believe.
And one doctor got so tired of it that he invented the vibrator.
FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 1 day ago
This treatment definitely only applies to men. I don’t think anyone ever “jerked off” a woman in the 1800s. Before then and afterwards, sure, but not during the Victorian times
squaresinger@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Actually, masturbation as treatment for “hysterical paroxyism” had its peak during victorian times.

Fun fact, vibrators were invented as a ‘medical’ tool to aid women.

And bicycles were discouraged, because they could promote hysteria.

Same thing as chainsaws. Go ahead, Google why the chainsaw was invented
Gladaed@feddit.org 1 day ago
Wrong in part. It was a medical tool to saw bones and shit. Not women. Sawing women is magicians work.

GROK says it was invented to establish government fiscal responsibility.
stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world 1 day ago
From The Columbus Dispatch:
Chainsaws were originally invented by Scottish doctors John Aitken and James Jeffray in the last 18th century for medical purposes, specifically to assist in a surgical procedure called symphysiotomy^1^ during childbirth. This early version of the chainsaw was a hand-cranked device used to remove ossified^2^ tissue. Over time, the chainsaw evolved into a powerful tool used for lodging.
1: symphysiotomy, symphysiotomy is a surgical procedure that involves dividing the cartilage of the pubic symphys to widen the pelvis, facilitating childbirth when there is difficulty due to a narrow pelvis. This operation is also called pyelotomy and is performed to allow passage of a baby during obstructed labor. 2 ossified, having turned into bone or bony tissue

Well yeah. These women were suffering from extreme bouts of hysteria.
MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 1 day ago
A film called “Hysteria” from 2011 covers that.

Thought it was a facial massaging device… until “facial” became optional.

Women also didn’t have rights and were considered their husband’s “property”. So ummm yea, please no.

It’s really sad but also kinda fascinating that there are definitely people who could read this and believe it’s evidence of the downfall of modern society caused by equal rights, instead of realizing that this bitch was just understandably tired and making a humor joke in an attempt to lighten the burden of having to face another day trying to roll the boulder back up the bullshit mountain created by the people who want to take away her (and everyone else’s) rights, dismantle society, and cause it to collapse.
MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Even stranger that the title says “women”.

BigMilk13@lemmy.world 20 hours ago
You gotta be careful, because if you don’t go far back enough, you’ll end up lobotomized in some kind of haunted house. Go too far back and, especially as a woman, you’ll be labeled “hysterical” or worse then exiled or killed. You gotta find that sweet spot when you could walk into Wild West CVS and take home a bottle Morphinecocainemeth to help wash down the Bovril.
Dasus@lemmy.world 11 hours ago
They’re exactly looking to be treated for hysteria.
While the word know just means frantic and sort of crazed and can be applied to anyone, it’s originally about having a womb. From the greek word for a womb.
You’re obviously right that them getting sent to an asylum or getting their brain poked through their eye (although lobotomy wouldn’t be invented for like 30-40 years from their date) would be horrible.
But she’s also right that they did indeed used to “jerk off” female patients as a treatment for hysteria. Then the doctors got lazy about rubbing and fingering women until climax, so they invented the vibrator. I may be taking a few liberties with the story so Google it yourself to verify the historicity.

I mean… You can still have that kind of fun, it’s just not called a doctor anymore.

Over here, they sell all sorts of “standard” sex toys, like vibrators, in drugstores. Out in the open, right next to the condoms and lube. #justeuropethings

I have one in my sex toy box, and its ok, I guess. doesn’t really work very well for me though.

I wonder how many of my health issues are because of injuries being left untreated (professionally).
like I tore my leg open on gravel last summer, nice big patch completely gone down below the hair follicles. just cleaned it out when I got home a couple hours later and kept flushing it multiple times a day and putting antibiotic cream on it, for a few weeks until it eventually healed over. took forever because of how deep and large it was, also I guess I’m just older and heal slower now. it definitely was at least a little bit infected for the week or two. it healed itself though
but, like, I’ve done that all my life. how fucked up is my body because of that. good thing was I got my overdue tetnis shot a few months earlier when I did go to emerge for something else that wouldn’t stop bleeding
LuxSpark@lemmy.cafe 2 days ago
That does sound a lot better than therapy. Why don’t we do that anymore? Cocaine and jerking off are still S tier relievers.
stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I thought we did
1984@lemmy.today 1 day ago
I would also never do therapy. :) But I also wouldnt do drugs.
MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 1 day ago
do women commonly refer to masturbation as “jerking off”?
MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 1 day ago
Yes because when men are involved, people definitely never overgeneralize.
MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
So you agree it’s wrong in that case and excuse it here?
Because I didn’t say anything about men, did I?

Freud was also wrong about most of his therapy related ideas.
Also, he was wildy depressed, solving none of his issues.
