Does her husband want Alethea dead?
I love the weird things my research throws up, and this makes me smile. Regency society was male dominated and women were supposed to lie back and think of England. Sex was purely for a man’s pleasure. Imagine the poor lady stuck with a heavy handed jerk who took his delight and left her needy.
While no one would
admit to an unfilled sex-drive, it was perfectly respectable to have hysterics
or go into a decline. So what’s a lusty woman to do? Well…us women are sneaky.
To quote Wikipedia
In Western medicine hysteria was considered
both common and chronic among women. Even though it was categorized as a
disease, hysteria's symptoms were synonymous with normal functioning female
sexuality.[1] Women
considered to have it exhibited a wide array of symptoms, including faintness,
nervousness, sexual
desire, insomnia, fluid retention, heaviness in the abdomen, shortness of
breath, irritability, loss of appetite for food or sex, and a "tendency to
cause trouble".[1]
Doctors
recommended various curse, horse-back riding among them. Maybe the poor, frustrated women should have
been masturbating, but that was considered self-abuse. After putting their heads
together, doctors decided women incapable of sexual feelings.
The most reliable
cure is startling, but was socially acceptable. Doctors or midwives coated their
fingers in vegetable oil then sank them inside the stricken female. Simultaneously,
they pressed the heel of their hand down on a woman’s clit.
Once the woman
orgasmed—or had a paroxysm—they were cured of their malaise. Imagine a doctor
making house calls and getting paid to bring his patient off. So popular was
this cure that doctors bought dildoes to use on their patients and save their
aching fingers.
Unbelievable – but
true.
