I recently found the following on Wikipedia, and was hoping to get the opinions of Landover's Pastors regarding this medical condition:
Female Hysteria

First of all, I was kind of surprised by this assertion that women are capable of having orgasms, as I thought that was mainly a male trait. If a woman is prone to having orgasms, is it safe to assume she's a lesbian?
Also, it seems to me that the prescribed cure for female hysteria is clearly adulterous if administered by somebody other than the patient's husband. Do Landover's physicians have any way of treating female hysteria without inducing these lesbianic orgasms?
Female Hysteria
Female hysteria was a once-common medical diagnosis, made exclusively in women, which is today no longer recognized by modern medical authorities as a medical disorder. Its diagnosis and treatment were routine for many hundreds of years in Western Europe. Hysteria was widely discussed in the medical literature of the Victorian era. Women considered to be suffering from it exhibited a wide array of symptoms including faintness, nervousness, insomnia, fluid retention, heaviness in abdomen, muscle spasm, shortness of breath, irritability, loss of appetite for food or sex, and "a tendency to cause trouble".[1]
Since ancient times women considered to be suffering from hysteria would sometimes undergo "pelvic massage" — manual stimulation of the genitals by the doctor until the patient experienced "hysterical paroxysm" (orgasm).[1]
