Why Victorian doctors masturbated 40 women daily (and what this means for your stress)

In 1880, doctors’ wrists hurt so much they had to invent a machine.

Not from writing prescriptions. Not from surgeries.

From masturbating their female patients.

This sounds like a joke, but it’s written black on white in medical archives. Doctors were treating women diagnosed with “hysteria” by bringing them to orgasm. It worked so well they treated 40 to 50 women a day.

Their hands simply couldn’t keep up.

That’s why the vibrator was invented. Not as a sex toy—but as a medical instrument for overworked physicians.

Do you recognise this?

Your head feels full, but you can’t think clearly.

Your shoulders are knotted. Your body feels stiff.

At night you lie awake, even though you’re exhausted.

Your partner asks what’s wrong, but you don’t even know anymore yourself.

It feels like someone else has taken over the controls of your body.

That tight neck. That locked pelvis. That sense of a motor running inside you that you can’t switch off.

That constant state of “on” that drains you but won’t let go.

Exactly the same thing women felt 150 years ago.

Those Victorian women understood this wasn’t a way to live.

Why did women go to their doctor to be masturbated?

In the 19th century, doctors called it “hysteria.”

The symptoms? Tension, insomnia, irritability. Feeling like you had lost yourself.

Seventy-five percent of all women were diagnosed with it.

Their lives grew busier. More responsibilities. Less rest. Their bodies simply couldn’t cope with the stress anymore.

Sound familiar?

Doctors accidentally stumbled onto the perfect solution.

When they “treated” these stressed women—by massaging their genitals until climax—something magical happened within 10 minutes.

The women became completely calm.

Their tense shoulders dropped. Their breathing deepened. The constant restlessness disappeared.

They slept like babies that night.

It was so effective that doctors treated dozens of women this way every single day.

Why the doctors’ wrists couldn’t handle it anymore

Imagine: you’re a doctor in 1879.

Your calendar is packed with stressed women. One after another comes in, exhausted, wound-up, at their breaking point.

You know you can help them in 15 minutes. But it requires manual work. Minutes of massage until they release.

After 40 women a day, your wrists are screaming.

Your hands cramp. Your fingers go stiff. You can barely hold a pen anymore.

This was the problem Dr. Joseph Mortimer Granville faced when, in 1880, he patented his invention: the first electric vibrator.

Not for pleasure. For medical efficiency.

How vibrators were openly sold in department stores

Within 20 years, women could simply buy vibrators in department stores.

No doctor required. No appointment. Just walk in, pay, and take your stress relief home.

A 1903 advertisement read: “A delightful companion that will throb within you and restore your vitality!”

This was considered normal self-care for women.

Until 1920, vibrators were displayed right alongside brooms and teapots.

Then something terrible happened.

How shame destroyed this breakthrough

In the 1920s, vibrators began appearing in erotic films.

Suddenly, society realized what was really going on.

Shame destroyed what had been recognized for centuries as medical care.

Vibrators became taboo. Doctors stopped prescribing the treatment. Women lost access to what had truly worked.

And what did they get instead?

Pills. Therapy. Advice to “just relax.”

Everything except what their bodies actually needed.

Generations of women suffered under stress that could have been solved in 15 minutes.

All because society was ashamed of what their great-grandmothers had considered perfectly normal.

This knowledge was buried for 100 years.

What those doctors had really discovered will amaze you

If stress has burned you out, you’re not weak. You’re biologically blocked.

After months of stress, your stress system jams. Your cortisol stays high—even when you try everything to relax.

This isn’t a mindset problem. This is physiology.

That’s why other methods fail:

• Meditation: Calms your thoughts but doesn’t break the biological block
• Medication: External substances don’t fix the core shutdown
• Therapy: Works through your mind but leaves your stuck stress system intact

You’re trapped in permanent fight-or-flight mode.

But there is a way out. And it goes through your body—not your mind.

Your natural off-switch for stress that nobody told you about

That way out lies in your vagus nerve—your body’s built-in “calm switch” that can reboot your stress system.

And genital stimulation directly activates this nerve.

This isn’t a “sex thing”—this is medical science.

Here’s how it works:

• Your vagus nerve sends signals straight to your brain
• It blocks stress responses and releases calming hormones
• It switches your body from tension to calm within 15 minutes

Why ordinary sex and masturbation don’t solve your stress

Regular sex and masturbation give you an orgasm—but they don’t reset your stress system.

In normal masturbation, your body only activates one nerve pathway. This gives sexual pleasure but doesn’t touch the deep biological block in your pelvic floor.

That’s why you may feel good after sex, but the underlying tension lingers.

For true neurological activation, you need simultaneous stimulation of two nerve centers:

• Clitoris: External relaxation via the pudendal nerve
• G-spot: Deep internal release via the pelvic floor and pelvic nerve

Only clitoral AND vaginal stimulation together can break through that jammed stress response.

That’s why you need a wellness device that can do this twice as powerfully by stimulating both centers at once.

The result? Not just an orgasm—but a fully discharged nervous system that activates your body’s own medicine cabinet:

• Oxytocin: Rises 300–500%—directly blocks cortisol
• Endorphins: Natural painkillers—200 times stronger than morphine
• Serotonin: Your natural happiness hormone

Why this is even more important for you than for those Victorian women

Your great-grandmother had one job: housewife.

You have fifteen: career, children, household, admin, social media, parents, friends…

Your stress is exponentially higher.

And you have fewer ways to deal with it.

No time for spa days. No money for weekly massages. No energy for another self-help book collecting dust on your nightstand.

But imagine if it could be different. If you didn’t have to accept stress as just “part of life.” If you didn’t have to lie awake at night with thoughts that won’t stop spinning.

What you need is what those women had: a fast, delightful trick that works when you have the time.

The breakthrough that combines 150 years of medical knowledge

Based on 150-year-old medical knowledge combined with modern science, Bold was developed by the Dutch wellness company Bold™.

The only device that does exactly what that Victorian treatment did: stimulate your clitoris AND vagina at the same time.

Deep internal pressure plus focused external vibrations.

The same neurological activation. The same 15-minute solution.

But now private. Discreet. On your terms.

What changes everything within 15 minutes with your body

Imagine tonight you use Bold.

You lie down. Close your eyes. Ten minutes later you feel something you haven’t felt in months.

Real peace.

Your shoulders drop. Your breathing deepens. The constant tightness in your body dissolves.

For the first time in ages, you feel at home in your own body.

You fall asleep without tossing. Without that endless thought-carousel.

You wake up with mental clarity you’d forgotten even existed.

And after a week? Small annoyances don’t hit you as hard. You respond calmer to chaos. The constant mental overload is gone—you finally have space in your head to think instead of just react.

You feel like doing things again. You have energy to connect with others. The zest for life that stress buried so long slowly comes back.

After a month, you’re emotionally more resilient. You don’t feel overwhelmed by everything that comes your way. You’ve regained that inner strength—not because your problems disappeared, but because you finally have the mental space to handle them.

That woman who knows how to handle stress instead of being crushed by it—that’s you again.

The important choice before you

If you do nothing:

Six months from now you’ll still be tired. Still tense. Still searching for that solution that never comes.

Your friends, partner, or kids will still see you stressed. Your work will suffer. You’ll feel less and less happy.

Because that motor inside your body will still be running.

If you choose Bold now:

Tomorrow you’ll feel what real relaxation is. In a week you’ll sleep better than you have in years. In a month you’ll be that woman again—the one you’ve always been.

Those Victorian women were right. They knew what worked. They weren’t ashamed.

Why should you be?

You’ve waited long enough for a solution that never came.
