Interesting article. Did you know that the word "hysteria" was another term for horny? It makes all of those stories about "mass hysteria" in the 17th and 18th centuries just that much more interesting.

Since the beginning of recorded time the most common health complaint among women was ‘hysteria’, a medical term used to describe a woman in mental or emotional distress and a condition that was thought to be in need of immediate treatment.

To treat the so-called ailment, doctors and midwives massaged the genitals to "hysterical paroxysm," as the orgasm was scientifically termed, to release held-back energies. The procedure was performed in doctor’s offices, health spas, and the home as a standard medical procedure.

It must have been a great pick up line for doctors.

"Oh my dear I can help you to relieve your "hysteria". Just follow me into this coat closet."
