I'm not suprised by the masterbation tub.
Interestingly, the old Dr.'s used to prescribe vibrators to women to treat hysteria, often having a little talk with her and/or the husband about the necessity of it's use, as well as a quick anatomy lesson. Indeed, wealthy women prone to hysteria actually WENT to the DR's office to get "treatment" which basically consisted of the good DR. applying a vibrator to their naughty bits which resulted quickly in a release. The "hysterical" woman was then rendered peaceful and content in her afterglow. (until the next time!) The operation to remove a woman's uterus and ovaries was once thought to permanently cure hysteria, hence the root of the word, hysterectomy. What have we learned from history? Well, as the saying goes, "she needs to get laid" actually isn't far from the truth!
