Male hysteria

Well kiddo, there was a time long long ago when people believed that something called "male hysteria" existed. It was thought that only men could get this "hysteria," and it caused them to feel very stressed and anxious.

People thought this happened because men were thought to be very busy and have a lot of responsibilities at work and at home. They believed that men couldn't express their emotions in the same way that women could, so all that stress and anxiety just built up inside them until they became hysterical.

Doctors back then thought the only cure was to stimulate the male genitalia until they reached what they called a "hysterical paroxysm" which is basically an orgasm. Yeah, I know, it sounds pretty weird and gross.

But don't worry, we know now that male hysteria is not a real thing and that there are much better ways to cope with stress and anxiety. So, if you ever feel anxious or stressed, just talk to someone about it or try some relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation.
