The Technology of Orgasm with Emiko Omori and Wendy Slick

Listen to this interview with the two women who produced and directed the movie Passion and Power, based on the controversial yet educational book "The Technology of Orgasm; Hysteria, The Vibrator and Women’s Sexual Satisfaction." Emiko Omori and Wendy Slick talk about how the vibrator was invented by doctors to cure women’s hysteria. Back in the day, doctors responded to what they termed "hysteria" with an appointment for masturbation to orgasm. Omori and Slick relate that the vibrator was invented to help make it easier for doctors. And so began a new spin on feminism.
