What kind of sexual operation was there in the nineteenth century
| In the nineteenth century, sexual surgery involving the removal of a woman's ovaries or clitoris to reduce their sex drive. Why was such a radical form of intervention in the female body decided? How was female masturbation treated in the nineteenth century? How to stop masturbation? In this context, it should be added that sexual exaggeration is an extreme example of how to question women's sexuality. It was the most radical form of domination over a woman's body in the Victorian era; the ultimate way to discipline her body and personality, and the de facto destruction of her sexuality and femininity. The purpose of cutting parts of the genitals in the second half of the 19th century was, as Graham John Barker-Benfield, a modern expert on this era, put it, to fight "the most persistent and dangerous opponent" or "more and more cases of masturbation by women, which they were so afraid of men," which represented - from today's point of view - the consequence. suppression of women 's sexual needs (masturbation was then considered dangerous&sexual perversion). Female castration From the point of view of modern critics, the surgical "castration of a woman" was the result of a broader concern. According to the prevailing ideology of the Victorian era, a woman should consider sexual intercourse only as an "inconvenient necessity," and her own genitals as "dirty" and "susceptible to diseases." This, in turn, was part of the general idea of women's complete "subordination" to men, while women's sexual activity seemed to negate the prevailing idea of an androcentric world. Therefore, any "romantic" thoughts or actions of women caused men to be horrified and convinced that a woman questioned both her nature and "the only reality that needs to be taken into account" (in another context, the opinion was already mentioned that the female orgasm "is a symptom" or is a sign of epilepsy). This approach to femininity is clearly seen in one of the proponents of sexual surgery, who wrote in 1893: "the condition of patients [after surgery] improves, some are completely cured [...], their sense of morality increases [...]; they become obedient, orderly, hardworking and tidy. "However, in practice, as G.J. Barker-Benfield says, "Castration destroys the only permanent basis of a woman's identity: the hope of motherhood [...]. Many subjects who were castrated experienced absolute despair, finding themselves in a state of hopelessness on a scale that is unlikely to be imagined. Is the pelvis a source of failure? The inability to obtain any alternative to the dominant knowledge about femininity (and female sexuality) meant that women - who had a lot of guilt and "inadequacy" - were (as one of the doctors of the time put it) "completely convinced that [...].. all their failures [in life] came from the pelvis," so sometimes they tried to remove their genitals themselves. What was deleted and why? The removal of the ovaries responsible for the production of estrogen restored women's mental balance, as was believed at the time. In a report released by the U.S. Department of Health in 1889, it was written that 51% of ovariectomy surgeries were performed to treat patients' mental disorders. In 1907, the percentage of these treatments dropped to 42%. The size of the sexual surgery phenomenon (which also included clitorectomy) can be confirmed by a letter from a doctor published in a British journal who wrote that "soon, women with full genitalia will be rare."
