Buzz by Hallie Lieberman

Once only whispered about, vibrators now pervade pop culture. In this suprisingly stimulating story of how these once-taboo toys become socially acceptable, Hallie Lieberman—who holds the world’s first PhD in the history of sex toys—traces the tales from lubricant in Ancient Greece to the first condom in 1560 to advertisements in 19th-century magazines, and explores in particular the changes from the 1950s to the present.
“.. jauntily written, illuminating history... Like a Magic Wand. Buzz hits the sweet spot far more often than it misses.” -- The Spectator
“... the stimulating... new tome Buzz, a rollicking chronicle of America's uneasy relationship with sex toys.” -- Stylist
Hallie Lieberman obtained her PhD from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 2014, with a dissertation on Sex Toy History. Her writing has been published in Bitch, Bust, Eater, The Forward, and Inside Higher Ed, among others. She has given talks at many university events and conferences. She lives in Atlanta, Georgia.
