Medicine is not static. However, doctors have observed a correlation between a woman”s mood and the frequency of sexual intercourse. They realized that the longer a woman goes without sexual intercourse, the more hysterical she becomes. They invented a special device for vaginal massage.

The benefits of this procedure have been known since the time of Hippocrates. In one of his works, the doctor described a woman”s condition before and after a massage. Well-being and psychological balance gradually return to normal. This type of treatment was used until the 19th century (it”s a shame it”s not used today—some people just want to be sent there).
A specialist would perform the massage, and a thin stream of water would be directed at the woman”s genital area. At that time, this procedure was expensive and required considerable preparation.
An alternative to water massage was manual massage. The nurse inserted her fingers into the patient”s body and stimulated her clitoris. To improve gliding, lily oil was applied to the fingers. Hysterical women back then weren”t like they are today. Today”s hysterics are “flowers.” Virgins, widows, and religious women were especially nervous.
