Vibrators are illegal in eight states.
(Hey, i'm a law student. i'm supposed to know all about laws and shit.)
Although the vibrator laws seem silly today, they were designed to end this medical procedure:
"It meant 'womb disease.'" From the dawn of recorded medical history, healers had observed that women, unlike men, didn't release fluids during sex; as a result, pent-up juices, trapped in the womb, caused all sorts of problems - headaches, irritability, fear of impending insanity, hysteria.
With the same scientific insight that generated this diagnosis, the medical profession lit on a cure. Doctors and midwives massaged the genitals to "hysterical paroxysm," as the orgasm was scientifically termed, to release held-back energies. By the end of the 19th century, some doctors were advising women to come in for such treatments once a week ".

I wouldn't have figured that, considering they sell all that crap at such stores like New Fine Arts, Condom Sense, Condoms to Go, etc. And they're all over the DFW metroplex.
