The first vibrator was debuted in 1869 by George Taylor M.D, an American physician. It was a huge steam powered machine. Originally designed to treat what was then known as "female hysteria"
Remember, this was the Victorian era and it was not believed that women enjoyed sex and if they did they were considered to be suffering from a disease. This was treated with Dr Taylors machine, it massaged the patients vulvas until they gained relief through "paroxysm" more commonly known these days as an orgasm.
British physician Joseph Mortimer designed a battery operated vibrator in 1882. It was much smaller than the one Dr Taylor manufactured and came with attachments similar to those that come with todays vibrators. The different attachments allowed the doctors to vary the sensations his device produced.
However, Granville was firmly opposed to using his device as a treatment for female hysteria and considered it useful only for massage of men’s skeletal muscles to treat injuries caused by overexertion.
During the years 1900-1920 the "home" vibrator began to gain popularity, as most homes now had electricity. Unbelievably, it was one of the first electric home appliances, before the refridgerator or washing machine. They were openly advertised in many consumer magazines.
In 1921 advertisers were now directing their ad campaigns towards men, they encouraged husbands to buy them for their wives on the premise it would keep them "young and pretty" Vibrators also began to make an appearance in porn in the late 1920’s, and they were seen as sex toys instead of medical devices.
