No wonder Freud turned out the way he did

I was Wikipedia-hopping, when I found the article on female hysteria.

I quote:

A prominent physician from the second century, Galen, wrote that hysteria was a disease caused by sexual deprivation in particularly passionate women: Hysteria was noted quite often in virgins, nuns, widows and, occasionally, married women. The prescription in medieval and renaissance medicine was intercourse if married, marriage if single, or vaginal massage (pelvic massage) by a midwife as a last recourse.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. :O

And, as a bonus: turn-of-the-20th-century vibrators. It's WEIRD, I tell you! WEIRD!
