Malunga neenyanga ezine ezidlulileyo, uManhattan guru we-masturbation uBetty Dodson uqaphele ukuba konke akulunganga nehlabathi. Poof! Kwakubonakala ngathi iMagic Wand iphelile. Akukho nanye kwiivenkile ezinkulu zesini eNew York – hayi i-Eve's Garden okanye iithoyi zaseBabeland – ezazinazo naziphi na iiHitachi Magic Wands ezishelifini zazo.
Kule minyaka ingama-25 idlulileyo, uNkosk. Dodson, osandula ukugqiba iminyaka engama-70, uthengile izixhobo zokuthambisa umbane ngeMagic Wand, uninzi lwazo lwasasazwa kumalungu amaQela oSondo omzimba, iiklasi zokuhambisa amalungu esini awafundisa kwivenkile yesini yabasetyhini i-Eve's Garden . Ngexesha lezi klasi, uNkosk. Dodson wayeza kulungiselela iqela labasetyhini abangaphantsi kwesangqa kwaye abakhokelele kwiseshoni yokuhambisa amalungu esini esincedwa ngumbane. (Ngoku ufundisa ngasese.)
Kwaye ukusukela ngala mhla phaya phaya ekuqaleni kweminyaka yoo-1970 xa, othuke kakhulu, wafumanisa ukuba iPanasonic imyekisile umassager awayewuthanda ngelo xesha – iPanabrator – Nks. UDodson ebencwina indumiso ye-intshi ezili-12 ubude, isantya ezimbini, iHitachi Magic Wand, nentloko yayo emile okwebhola yentenetya. Inkampani yokudlala ngesondo eyiVibrations elungileyo yakha yayibiza ngokuba yiCadillac ye vibrators. (UHitachi ubuncinci wenza ngathi abayazi into eyenziwa ngabo bonke aba bafazi ngemveliso yabo; I-Wand nganye yeMagic iza nomzobo weendawo zoxinzelelo ezinje ngomqolo nentamo, zityeshele eyokukhupha olona xinzelelo lwazo zonke.) bonke abaphulula umbane, isixhobo seedola ezingama-45 sesona sinikelwe koku kulandelayo: Emva kokuhamba ngebhayisikile kwiklasi ejikeleza emoyeni kunyaka ophelileyo, uRosie O'Donnell uxakwe ukuba, Kungcono kuneMagic Wand!
Ukuba ukhwela i-Wand yakho kangangeyure okanye nangaphezulu, ungaya kwiindawo ezitshintshileyo zokuqonda. Owu, intle kakhulu! Watsho uNksk. Dodson. Akakwazi ukukhumbula ngokuchanekileyo ukuba mangaphi amaMagic Wands adlule kuwo amashumi eminyaka, kodwa uyazi ukuba ngekhe, asebenzise nantoni na efuna iibhetri. Akukho nje ukuthelekiswa. Ukuba uyayithanda i-vibrator encinci yebhetri kwaye iyakusebenzela, kulungile, utshilo, evakala ngathi akacingi ukuba kulungile kwaphela. Kodwa ngumahluko phakathi kokukhwela ibhayisikile enamavili amathathu kunye neHonda 900. Nangona uNkosk. Dodson ecebisa uMagagand newbies ukuba abeke ilaphu lokuhlamba elisongiweyo phakathi kwabo kunye neMagic Wand ukuze athambise amandla ayo afana nejackhammer, uthe ikhuselekile. Kudala ndisebenzisa isidlidlizi ukusukela ngo-1968, kwaye iklit yam ayikaze iyeke, yavuya.
Iingcali ziyavuma. Le nto iyindumezulu, utshilo uJed Kaminetsky, ugqirha womchamo waseManhattan ojolise ekusebenzeni gwenxa kwabasetyhini nabasetyhini. Ndixelela abasetyhini abanengxaki yokufumana i-masturbate. I-vibrator yeyona ndlela isebenzayo yokwenza i-masturbate, kwaye iHitachi Magic Wand, ukuba ayisiyiyo eyona ibalaseleyo, yenye yezona vibrator zibalaseleyo phaya. Ugqirha Kaminetsky uthe uqaphele ukuba iMilingo Wands kuye kwaba nzima ukuyifumana kule minyaka idlulileyo. Abakwazi ukuzigcina kwisitokhwe, utshilo.
Ngaphandle kwemfuno ephezulu, enye into ibingalunganga. NgoFebruwari, UNks. Dodson wafumana ilizwi kumthengisi wakhe waseMagic Wand, ivenkile yezesondo eBoston ebizwa ngokuba yiGrand Opening, ukuba bekukho ingxaki phakathi kweesuti zikaHitachi Japan kunye neAppliance Corporation yaseMelika, umhambisi waseHitachi waseMelika wabachebi, abenzi bezonka kunye ne massager. Ngokucacileyo uHitachi wayebanike enkonkxiweyo kwaye akafumananga mntu uza kubambela. [Iqumrhu lezixhobo laseMelika] lalishukuma: iintlawulo ezicothayo, ezingazalisekisi iiodolo, abathengi babekhalaza, utshilo omnye umthombo oqheleneyo nemeko. Emva kokubiza inombolo ye-800-HITACHI yenkonzo yabathengi, ummeli wenkampani e-Illinois uziqinisekisile iindaba, esongeza ukuba ikhompyuter ayibonisi mhambisi mtsha.
UNks Dodson waya kuthenga ukuze afumane umntu oza kungena endaweni yakhe, ukuba kunokwenzeka. Wathenga imodeli ekhutshwe nguGqirha Scholl (yup, i-pad pad guys) malunga nexesha elinye apho iMagic Wand yayiye inqabile. Kwiseshoni enye, yatshisa, UNks uDodson wagrumba. Ngexesha lokushicilela, iiMagic Wands ezimbini zingafunyanwa kwi-eBay, enye yeedola ezingama-69 enye yeedola ezingama-74, kwaye ukubhida kwakusoyikeka.
I-frisson yoyikekayo yasasazeka kuluntu lwaseNew York lwabasetyhini abazithandayo. Yayingeyongxaki encinci, utshilo uNksk. Dodson. Wonke umntu othandana nesidlidliza sayo ibisithi, 'Aaahhhh! 'Yayiyinkwantya enkulu.
Malunga nenyanga edlulileyo, umhlobo wathumela iindaba nge-imeyile kuTristan Taormino, umbhali wekholamu wezesondo kwiLizwi leLali kunye nombhali weSikhokelo sokuGqibela kuTyhono loSini lwaBasetyhini. Umothuko kunye noloyiko yayiziimvakalelo ezathi zikhunjulwe nguNks. Ngamaxesha athile, UNks Taormino usebenzisa iMagic Wand yakhe entanyeni yakhe, ukwenza ikink okanye enye into. Phakathi kwabantu abathandanayo ingakumbi, kuthathwa njengento eyimfuneko njengebrashi yamazinyo, yatsho ibhinqa elitshatileyo u-Ms Taormino, ongumtshana ka-Thomas Pynchon. Ngokukhawuleza xa esiva amarhe, uNkosk Taormino kunye nomhlobo wakhe bacinga ngokutshiza iivenkile zesini ukuze bagcine iMicrosoft Wands. Wayezibala, ndineminyaka ephantse ibe ngama-30, ngoko bendinokuthi ezine ziya kuhlala ebomini bam.
Andikholelwa. Ndicaphukile, utshilo uMarcelle Karp, umhleli-wabalinganiswa oneminyaka engama-36 wephephancwadi lobufazi iBust, xa iThe Braganca yamxelela ngokupheliswa kweMagic Wand. UNks Karp unesizathu sokukhathazeka. Sele edlulile kwiminyaka emithandathu, kuba umhlobo wakhe, umbhali uLisa Palac, ucebise ukuba ayeke i-vibrator eqhutywa yibhetri awayenayo endaweni ye-plug-in wonder.
UNks. Karp wayeqhotyoshelwe kwi-Wand Wand yakhe-uyisebenzisa kuphela kwisantya esisezantsi (uPhezulu angakubulala! Watsho) -ukuba wafumana iadaptha yombane ukuze ayise eYurophu. EParis, watsho, amasiko ayikhupha ngononophelo ebhegini yakhe. Babenjani Yintoni eees theees? ’Bendifana,‘ Sishukumisi sam! Yintoni ingxaki yakho? ' UNksk. Karp, okwangoku uneenyanga ezisixhenxe ekhulelwe, uthe nangona esoyika malunga nethemba lokungaze akwazi ukuthenga enye iMagic Wand, unesicwangciso sokulindela: Ngoku une-plug-in yolondolozo ebizwa ngokuba yi-AcuVibe.
Ngethamsanqa kuNks. Dodson kunye neeacolyte zakhe, ilanga alikatshoni kwiHitachi Magic Wand. Kungekudala bonke abafazi behlabathi banokuphinda bavumelane ngokudibeneyo kwakhona. Kutshanje, uHitachi usike isivumelwano neVibratex, umhambisi osekwe eCalifornia wezinto zokudlala zesini eziphezulu, ukuthengisa iMagic Wand eMantla eMelika. Nge-15 kaJuni, ndicinga ukuba ukuthunyelwa kokuqala okukhulu kungena, utshilo.
Iphupha likaNks. Dodson lokuba ngenye imini uyakuyila imodeli yomsayino kaBetty Dodson uMagic Wand kunye nolunye uguquko kuyilo. Kodwa ngaba uNksk. Dodson ucwangcisa ukuphucula njani ukugqibelela? Ndinezinto ezimbalwa endifuna ukuzitshintsha, utshilo, kodwa andizukuxelela. Ezi ziimfihlo zoyilo.

Umhlobo wam wefilosofi
Umhlobo wam uJukka Keranen sisithandi sobulumko. Uvela eFinland. Ubhala dissertation kwifilosofi yezibalo kwiYunivesithi yasePittsburgh. Ngenxa yokoyika iindawo eziphakamileyo kunye neentsholongwane, uMnu Keranen akezi eNew York kakhulu, ngenxa yoko khange sibonane okwethutyana. Kodwa ngolunye usuku, uMnu. Keranen nam ndadibana kwigadi eqingqiweyo kwiMyuziyam yoBugcisa baManje ukwenza ifilosofi kancinane.
Yintoni izinto zemathematika? Ubuze, ejongana nengxaki engundoqo yomsebenzi wakhe wangoku. Ngaba zikhona? Ukuba bayayenza, banjani? Sazi njani nantoni na ngabo?
Umnumzana Keranen ukhe wazama ukungqina ephepheni ukuba ixesha alikho.
Sifumana ixesha, akunjalo? uthe. Kodwa kukho izinto ezithile ekufuneka into ekuthiwa lixesha ukuba zibekho, ayisiyonto yokwenyani ngokwesiqhelo, kodwa lixesha elinemali enkulu. Izixhobo zethu zeelwimi azinakufikelela kubunzulu obaneleyo kulwakhiwo lwendalo iphela kuthi. ukuze sikwazi ukuthetha malunga neyona nto yeXesha, loo nxalenye yesakhiwo sendalo iphela ngamanye amaxesha ibizwa ngokuba lixesha.
Umnumzana Keranen wayedla ngokuba nguFinn okhulayo. Kodwa iPittsburgh imtshintshile.
Isizathu sokuba izinto zisongelwe ngoku kukuba kufuneka sisebenze ngezixhobo ezinqongopheleyo, utshilo. Ekugqibeleni siya kufikelela kwinqanaba apho siya kuba nezixhobo ezingenamda. Sifuna ukudityaniswa kubanda. Sifuna ikoloniyalizim ethile. Akuninzi, kodwa kuncinci, ukuqinisekisa ukuba kukho izinto ezibonakalayo ezikhoyo ezikhoyo. Olunye ukholoni, ngokuqinisekileyo. Inyanga. Mhlawumbi uMars, mhlawumbi ezinye ze-asteroids.
Inokwenziwa. Singaba nehlabathi eligqibeleleyo kuba ngokusisiseko kukho amandla aneleyo kunye nezixhobo zokuhamba. Kufuneka sifunde nje ukuba sizisebenzisa njani kwaye xa sizenzile ndiyakholelwa ukuba siyakulunga. Sizolunga nje.
