New flick to reveal the history of vibrator!
November 8th, 2010 - 11:49 am ICT by ANILondon, Nov 8 (ANI): Ever wondered when was the first time a woman used a vibrator? Well now you won’t - a new movie is set to reveal the history of the sex aid soon.
Maggie Gyllenhaal, 32, plays a 19th century girl who falls for the man who invented the motorised sex aid as a medical treatment for “hysterical” women, reports The Sun.
The gizmos were prescribed by Victorian doctors when women suffered anxiety, insomnia, irritability or nervousness.
“When I heard about the invention of the vibrator I felt that, if I never did another film in my life, I had to do this story,” said Director Tanya Wexler.
Jonathan Pryce, 62, who will also star in the movie Hysteria, said, “There are humorous elements, but ultimately it’s a film about female emancipation.” (ANI)
