Introduction: 

Hysteria, a film released in 2011, is witty about the way women's sexual health problems were historically treated during the late 1800s, when "female hysterics" was viewed as invasive. The movie provides a window into the evolution of women's sexual health by depicting how the vibrator was invented to alleviate their sexual frustrations and discomforts. Although oral sex has made significant strides in modern relationships, its role still extends to addressing sexual health issues and improving intimacy. 

 

 

Historical context of women's sexual health:

Women's sexual identity was viewed in the past, as evidenced by hysteria. A lack of understanding of women's sexual health resulted in the use of "pelvic massages" as a means of treating sexual issues, which were often dependent on limited knowledge of their individual needs and desires. According to the film, innovation at the time was the invention of vibrator which provided a new way for women who were struggling with emotional and physical symptoms of sexual frustration to release the pent-up sexual tension they have been enduring. 

 

 

A Modern Approach to Oral Sex:

Contemporary society views women's sexual health in a more nuanced way. Many women experience issues such as a lack of sexual satisfaction, difficulty reaching orgasm, or disconnection during intercourse, making it hard for them to climax. The act of oral sex, commonly seen as a form of intimacy and mutual benefit, has become an effective means to address these issues. 

 

 

1. Oral Sex and Orgasm: 

The importance of oral sex as an essential means for women to achieve orgasm is well known, with research suggesting that many women do not experience orgasm without penetrating. The use of vibrators in Hysteria allowed women to experience a physical release, which was not acknowledged or stigmatized by the medical establishment at that time. In the same way, oral sex provides a more personalized experience of female pleasure, with greater control and attentiveness to women's desires. 

 

 

2. Enhancing Communication in Relationships: 

It also touches on the topic of improving communication between couples, focusing on love and relationships. In modern relationships, oral sex allows for free discussion of sexual desires, boundaries and preferences. By engaging in these conversations, women can better understand their needs and improve their sexual experience. Similar to how Hysteria advocates for recognizing women's sexual desires, oral intercourse can now be used to achieve this objective. 

 

 

3. Reducing Performance Pressure: 

In many long-term relationships, performance pressure can interfere with sexual satisfaction. The focus on mutual enjoyment and connection during oral sex can alleviate some of the anxiety associated with certain sexual activities. Women often consider oral sex as a more comfortable and private experience, which can be advantageous for those feeling anxious about their own sexual performance. 

 

 

4. Empowerment Through Pleasure: 

A pivotal moment in the film is when a woman can use the vibrator to restore her sexual health. In the same way, oral sex as we know it today allows women to take ownership of their pleasure in safe, consensual ways. In this way, both partners can exhibit equal levels of sexual confidence, which can lead to an empowering experience of intimacy. Women also benefit from this approach. 

 

 

Conclusion: 

Although hysteria may have been a lighthearted discussion, it highlights arguably the most serious concern of our time: women's sexual health. We can shift from the narrow focus on sexual pleasure to a more comprehensive approach and beyond traditional treatments by standardizing the way women experience it, while also acknowledging their most important needs. In modern relationships, oral sex is crucial in unlocking women's pleasure, facilitating communication, and addressing issues like difficulty reaching orgasm. As with the vibrators in Hysteria that provided relief, oral sex today is an empowered, healthy, and respectful way to improve sexual health and achieve Mutual Climax for both the partners.
