who thought of inventing the vibrator was it a woman/man?

Answer 1

Early medicine believed in the existance of a disease called hysteria which was to do with unsatisfied sexual tension in a woman's uterus. Doctors often prescribed the patient be masturbated by them to relieve the symptoms. This was good business as patients were always left happy and very likely to return for further treatment. Victorian inventivness resulted in a mechanical solution to speed this treatment and so increase a doctor's patient numbers and income. This was the steam powered vibrator which was patented in the 1860s by George Taylor. As technology improved and electric portable devices became available the use of these devices moved into the home. For some time they remained respectable medical devices that women were using for health reasons but this changed when the porn film industry showed their use to the world. From the 20s and 30s massagers were then advertised as muscle treatment devices (though those in the know new what they were for). In the 60s the emergence of greater sexual awareness around vibrators, championed by the likes of Betty Dodson, made vibrators main stream again. Cheap plastic toys became common on high streets and suppliers of electricly powered devices have been increasingly marketing them as masturbation aides.

Answer 3

It had to be a woman's idea. A man may have designed the actual product (I don't know), but I bet a woman thought of the concept.
