Abraham Lincoln is widely considered to be the first modern vibrator connoisseur. Back then, people were mostly into dildos. But when Abe took a piece of wood, hollowed it out, sanded it down, filled it with bees, and sealed it with wax? It was love at first sigh. Many of his lovemaking techniques are famously detailed in Milton’s biography, including the overt warning not to let the wood become too warm, “lest the wax melt and release the fury of the bees.” That’s how Mary Todd Lincoln died.
