Christine,

The steam-powered vibrators of the early 19th Century were really awesome.

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 technology cam "slip" into usage. Electric vibrators were being produced before the electric iron!

Well, what a line from your article--"All the penetrating pleasures of youth will throb in you again!"--from an old vibrator advertisement.

I must say that is a colorful line!

And I would not be a very good thread mistress if I did not include once again, for our newer readers, the web site of the Antique Vibrator Museum, which offers a similar history, and photographs of old vibrators as well:
