Magic Wand

No sex toy has such a colorful history as the famous wands.

In fact, hysteria is the reason these vibrators came into the world in the first place.


/>In the 1800s, doctors diagnosed women with irritability, anxiety, insomnia and even fluid retention (basically anything that couldn't be easily explained) and these women had a condition called hysteria.

This hysteria was believed to have to do with subconscious sexual frustration, and doctors prescribed manual clitoral stimulation and "hysterical paroxysm" as a cure. Amazed?

Women came back for repeat treatments, and so Dr. Joseph Mortimer Granville designed the first (albeit very clunky) vibrating massager in 1881.

Fastforward until the late 1960s, and a Japanese electrical company perfected the Magic Wand, an electric vibrating massager designed to alleviate stress and muscle tension.

With the long, sticky handle, smooth, cylindrical head, flexible neck, and strong vibrations, the Magic Wand's extra benefits were quite clear.

But with the sexual revolution in full swing, women were determined to share in the real benefits of the Magic Wand.

Betty Dodson became active in the sex positive movement in the late 1960s, and in the 1970s she began conducting Bodysex Workshops at her apartment in New York.

Classes were very They were practical, and the idea was simple - empowering women by teaching them self-pleasure techniques.

Dodson bought wands using them in his classes and recommended them in the book Liberating Masturbation.

These days, wand vibrators appear in movies and books - even Christian Grey, the hero of EL James' erotic Fifth Shades trilogy, has one in his special drawer.

Classic wand design features (a large head to spread vibrations over a wide area, a flexible neck for extra precision, and a rigid body that houses the controls) make this toy ideal for intimate massage and deep and ideal for foreplay as a couple!

If you've ever struggled to get an orgasm with sex toys, the magic wand vibrators could be the solution.

With silky silicone, smooth contours and a spectrum of speeds to set your body on fire, you too can get into the habit of biting your lips, just like Anastacia, now Anastacia Grey, does!
