I actually googled it a bit, and idk when "hysteria" widened to include men as well, but the very first inventor of a vibrator for medical purposes said he wouldn't use his "percuteur" for women as that would not be fitting. But he was a religious man afaik.

There were all sorts of galvanic stimulators and whatnot so I don't think they were all as prudes as we might think.
