A doctor uses a vibrator (yeah, that kind of vibrator) to cure his patients hysteria. Simple as that. The end.

Hmm. Or maybe there's more. Maybe there is longing and loneliness and humor and heartbreak.

Well, then light without flame is like having relations with a prostitute. No flame of love or desire, only the outer trappings of - the act. And without love - without the mental quickening - the eyes - the blood - without the heart - or intellect - bodies are meat. Meat and bone and levers and technicalities.

Clever and fun and orgasms aplenty!
