Until the 20th century, American and European men—including physicians—believed that women did not experience sexual desire or pleasure. They believed that women were simply fleshy receptacles for male lust and that intercourse culminating in male ejaculation fulfilled women's erotic needs. Women were socialized to believe that “ladies” had no sex drive, and that duty required them to put up with sex in order to keep their husbands happy and have children.

They probably only believed that because all the dudes were terrible in bed and obviously weren't going to place the blame upon themselves.

This proves your point!

Female hysteria was often attributed to sexual frustration, with females being unable to reduce stress via vaginal intercourse; this led to physicians recommending private clitoral stimulation at home. Women unable to do so on their own received relief via a genital massage from a physician, although this caused concern in the medical community, who would go on to invent the vibrator to do the massage for them. The vibrator later became a commercial product, so women could relieve sexual frustration at home. By the 20th century, female hysteria was a thing of the past, as vibrators became widespread and non-sexual frustration symptoms were attributed to other problems.
