The Disease Was Desire

Rate: 1 Flag

 I've just learned that I suffer from "hysteria".  Some symptoms of hysteria include chronic arousal, sleeplessness, erotic fantasy, sensations of heaviness in the abdomen, lower pelvic edema and vaginal lubrication.  But don't feel bad or worry about me.  I LOVE the prescription!  If a suitable partner is not to be had, a good vibrator will do the job, and it gets even better when you combine the good vibrator with a suitable partner!  I think I can live with that.

I learned this from an article on www.alternet.org that a friend posted on Facebook.  The article, The Joy of Sex Toys: How Vibrators Stopped Being 'Shameful' Secrets, by Liz Langley, starts out by declaring: "Turns out we like sexual pleasure."  Who knew?!  Okay, you knew and you over there, you knew.  I had a suspicion, but then I am blonde and sometimes a little slow ("Please explain it to me again...... in detail.")...   ;}

Fortunately for me, I do already have the prescribed vibrator having just in the last year parted with my hard earned money for it and it's been a sensational decision, pun intended, I've yet to regret.  I'm not so fortunate at the moment as to be able to combine it with that "suitable partner", but I do have hopes for the future.  

The good news here is that vibrators and other sex toys are becoming more socially acceptable and main streamed and I don't live in Alabama where vibrators are still illegal as mentioned in the alternet.org article and in my previous post "I'm Thinking Of Good Vibrations".

In the mean time, the disease races through me like a wildfire and where is that fireman.............

Thanks for the diagnosis. I knew there had to be a word for it.
It's when I get an attack of "hysteria" at work that life becomes difficult. That "lower pelvic edema" makes it hard to sit in a chair and type. Maybe I need a discreet little number to go in my purse sort of like a rescue inhaler.

It's a centuries old diagnosis. I find it sadly funny that this "disease" was once "treated" in doctors offices, bringing about the invention of the vibrator because "Manipulating all that female genitalia was time consuming for busy MDs". Symptoms may flare up at inconvenient times for me but I enjoy every minute! hehe
