Sex is only for making babies, not for fun. Enjoying it is wrong, wrong, wrong. Masturbation is a sin. But since I live in a blue state, where's my Good Vibrations catalog? Didn't they tell you?

But since I live in a blue state, where's my Good Vibrations catalog?

Sure, they both start with "vi-", but that's where the similarity ends. We shouldn't leap to conclusions about why the laws were put into place. The real reason is shoddy workmanship on the part of the original vibrator manufacturers, and the grisly results Several vibrator-related fatalities occurred in the 1950's. Men returned home from a hard day at the office, to find their wives sprawled on the floor of the kitchen, their faces contorted in a combination grimace of ecstasy and pain. Their suppers were unprepared, cold, or burnt. A related law was passed restricting the use of the vacuum pump for men, due to a number of grisly mutilations in the 1970's.

Rather than feeling exploited by pervy doctors, or violated or whatever, these were the first orgasms they had ever had and so it was a pretty big revelation. At the time men didn't really care too much about how women felt during sex, and many thought those that masturbated were crazy and had them locked up. I was going to say thank goodness we live in enlightened times, except of course in the U.S. these laws were made and still exist for who knows what reason. America - the land of freedom. Yeah right.

"You burn your bra (which actually never happened) we take your sex! no happy for you!" i think we should take a moment of silence to remember those physicians who created the vibrator. (zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...zzzzz) thank you. i like how this law was put into effect to combat the feminists. "You burn your bra (which actually never happened) we take your sex! no happy for you!"

Huh? Why did the doctors have to do this? Did they not relate orgasms to sex? Why was this (doctors getting women "off") considered o.k.? Were these hysterical women not married or were their husbands just incompetent? Had no one ever heard of self pleasure? I really don't understand this.
