Passion & Power: The Technology of Orgasm
November 14th - November 20th

"Diamonds aren't a girl's best friend in "Power & Passion," Wendy Slick and Emiko Omori's delightful, even inspirational survey of the historical attitudes, treatments and controversies attending female orgasm -- in particular, its stellar medical-technological helper, the vibrator." — Variety

This is the story of one simple invention, the vibrator, and its relationship to one complex human behavior, the female orgasm. The history of the vibrator and its medical use had virtually vanished until historian, Rachel Maines, researching needlework patterns in early 20th century women’s magazines, ran across ads for electric vibrators.

Piquing her curiosity, she traced the origins of this early electrified appliance and made an astonishing discovery. Under the guise of a medical treatment, Victorian doctors had used vibrators to relieve women of symptoms of hysteria. Symptoms of hysteria were vague - being cranky, reading French novels while wearing tight corsets, etc. It was a disease manufactured by doctors creating a lucrative clientele and a mutually camouflaged procedure that satisfied both. This film looks at the evolution of women's sexual satisfaction from its use by Victorian doctors to its resurgence during the sexual revolution of the 1970s and on to its status today, when in some states laws still exist that restrict the number of vibrators one may own. 2008/ 74 mins/ USA/ NR

Looks like an interesting documentary. It still boggles me that a lot of women I've met never owned one.

They should be handed out in middle school.

What boggles me is that there are women out there who have never had an orgasm. I happen to know a few.

is this Bring Your Own Vibrator?

why, are you coming?

seems interesting, maybe i'll hit it up

There must have been a Discovery channel special about this or something, because not a word of that was new to me.

Yeah, I think I saw something similar on discovery health.

nah I got stuff to edit tonight =/ gonna try to do something with the stuff I shot at the Wednesday Pre-Fest

The proper response was:

that's what she said.

can't believe I missed such a set up!

Haha, of course I saw it!

This thread reminds me to visit X-mart this week.

just came from a party where they went to x-mart earlier in the day

of course I didn't find out about this till later in the night and was greatly confused by the penis straws at first

Damn, you go there weekly? Horny much?

a fantastic work of fiction!
