So many thanks to the most excellent Emi Gennis, who is a master of historical comics! You can follow her work on Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook— and I suggest that you do.

She has some further reading and references for you below!

Emi Gennis Writes…

If your readers are interested in learning more about the history of vibrators, I highly recommend Dr. Rachel P. Maines’ book, The Technology of Orgasm: “Hysteria,” the Vibrator, and Women’s Sexual Satisfaction.

Also, anyone who is in the Bay Area can go check out the Antique Vibrator Museum, located at the Good Vibrations Polk Street store in San Francisco. For those not able to go see a vibrator museum in person, you can find online galleries of vintage vibrators at vintagevibrators.com and vibratormuseum.com.

Interested in a modern Vibrator?
