Episode notes

The belief at this point was that men who masturbated too much thought to bring on impotence outcome. For women, too much masturbation was believed to bring on hysteria. So we were likei got to do the anti masturbation thing of using a vibrator. I need my sight. Undoubtedly there were people who were using these sexually. The question is, like, how many people?

It's a sexual health episode! This week, Mike and Aubrey dive into the hotly debated medical history of vibrators and ask: who fact-checks the fact-checkers?

Note: A previous version of this episode included language that referred to “the female downstairs,” implying both that gender is linked to genitals (it isn’t) and that vibrators were used primarily by cis women (they weren’t). We love our trans listeners and we don’t want to do anything that makes them feel excluded, so we’ve removed the sections where that language appeared. We'll be discussing this and our approach to handling feedback in more detail soon. Thanks to everyone who wrote in to let us know! — Mike
