The Chattanooga Vibrator, 1904

So this last half of this week is going to see a series of posts on Gilded Age/Progressive Era sexuality. I’m teaching it tomorrow, I was thinking of Comstock, there are some stories to link to, and with the whole birth control insanity, it seems timely. Most importantly, I like talking about it.

So just to get everyone in the mood, I present you two images of the Chattanooga Vibrator, an early version of the vibrator. Doesn’t it look fun?

How do you use such a lovely looking machine? See below:

Commentary is best left to the comment section I think.
