      Always has been. No joke, vibrators were advertised as massage devices since the 50s. Mail order war the way to go long before the first sex shops opened.

      And they really are massage devices. I use a vibrator when I have muscle cramps in the back, and sometimes I use it to “shake free” the sinuses when they are blocked during a cold (roll a soft cloth around the vibrator and hold it to your forehead, the snot will start avalanching within seconds, free airways for the win).

      Very useful devices I’d say.

        That’s genius and you need to use every excuse to spread it around.

    People from the 70s would laugh out loud at how prude we’ve become.

      I’ve come across enough novelty stuff from that time to become sad at where we ended up.

      Hells yeah. Hot pants! Also men’s shorts knew their place in the natural order and weren’t trying to be pants.
