The vibrator, now the undisputed king of sex toys, was born not as an object of pleasure but as a “massager of internal organs”, a medical-treatment to heal women from the annoying “hysteria”.
In the nineteenth century, doctors used the term to indicate intense neurotic disorders that affected middle-class women. The term hysteria comes from the greek “womb” and was thought to be due to a shift of the uterus in the female body. read more & leave a comment

Domaine, di Patric Chiha, Francia/Austria 2009
From April 19 to 21 in Rome there is a film festival organized by the Queer in Action association.
“Beyond”is an erotic film festival that focuses on queer themes.
In the selection of the festival the term queer is applied in its most proper and large meaning; in fact, queer in English means “strange “, “unusual” and not simply “homosexual. ”
The exhibition “Beyond” in this sense tells and explores stories of a contemporary humanity that furiously researches its identity by passing through sensual and erotic tension.
The protagonists of the screened films are creatures in search of themselves and of human warmth, as in “J’ai reve sous l’eau” (France/USA, 2008). In the chaos of relationships the only thing that appears clear is that nobody knows what the object of desire is, and everyone is motivated by strong drives without a clear goal.
Characters that intertwine and destroy loving relationships, eros and thanatos drawing chaotic lives that only in some cases finish with the simple truth of the encounter with the other (and therefore with oneself) as in “Plan B” (Argentina, 2009).
Each film is about real and possible stories, fragments of queer life that belong to everyone as inhabitants of an era and a world.
