Were Vibrators REALLY Invented to Cure Hysteria?

Hands up who's heard the myth that Victorian doctors invented the vibrator to cure hysteria? 👋 But it's not true! As a sex history nerd, you KNOW I wanted to dive into what really happened there, so today we're talking all about the history of vibrators & why they were really invented.
