Historical Hysterical: The Old Chapel

A couple nights ago I took Sean to a Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) Club event at a local college. On our way out, we stumbled across a museum display dedicated to the college's former medical school. Among the artifacts were Dr. Young's Improved Dilators (circa 1930), used for dilating constipated rectums; Urethral Sounds, used to dilate the urethra of individuals suffering from gohnorreha; and Syringes for Anal Douching. The rectal dilators were clearly butt-plugs, leading me to believe that constipation must have been as epidemic in the 1930's as Female Hysteria was in the Victorian Era. The urethral sounds reminded me of something I read about urethral play on (I think) Mistress Matisse's blog. But the syringes were exceptionally priceless, because they were accompanied by a picture dipicting two women on a bed. One was on all fours, full skirts hiked up around her breasts, naked bottom waggling in the air. The other was holding an anal syringe at the ready, and was smiling at the door, where a dapper man with a salacious grin had just entered the room and surprised them in their fun. What made it even more special was that this museum display was in a campus building called "The Old Chapel".
