Christine, Funny story. I bought the January issue of Wired( must reading) at the airport. Thumbing through the issue, I commented to my client sitting next to me, CFO of a billion dollar company, that Wired is must reading for keeping on top of technology and its economic impact - or something to that affect. In fact, I offered him the magazine as a gift and assured him that his wife and teenage son would enjoy the magazine. As I closed the just bought issue and put it on his lap for keeps, I noticed the front page and a headline about VIBRATORS!!! Oh my God. I just gave this head honcho a magazine with an article about vibrators!! Guess you had to be there. Anyway, when I landed I bought another issue for myself. It actually is a very good article. Funny how technolgy cam "slip" into usage. Electric vibrators were being produced before the electic iron! Enjoy (the article) wired.com With the same scientific insight that generated this diagnosis, the medical profession lit on a cure. Doctors and midwives massaged the genitals to "hysterical paroxysm," as the orgasm was scientifically termed, to release held-back energies. By the end of the 19th century, some doctors were advising women to come in for such treatments once a week. ... The product most widely advertised in women's magazines was the White Cross, whose effects were as "wonderfully refreshing" as treatments costing "at least $2 each in a physician's office." Tom
