Happy Sunday - may your pleasure in abundance and your pain be infrequent all week...

Big thanks to - Back in the 1940s—and actually going back even further—simple a**l plugs (sold as “rectal dilators”) were marketed not as s*x toys, but as “miracle” headache remedies and treatments for everything from insomnia and acne to nervousness and even “insanity.”

They were invented by a 19th‑century figure known as Dr. Young, whose “Ideal Re**al Dilators” were sold in graduated sets and advertised as cures for a wild range of conditions, including headaches, bad breath, constipation, and anxiety.

By the 1940s, these devices were finally banned in the U.S. after regulators ruled that the health claims were unsupported and that frequent use could actually be dangerous, marking the end of the era when headaches were “treated” with butt plugs.
