naughtybynaturehistory: Above we can see two Anti-Masturbation devices from the 1800s. The top is pretty obvious, your penis clearly doesn’t have the physical strength to bend the metal upwards. Its stuck down, so don’t even try. And if there is a penis out there that can bend this device, it would be both scary and amazing at the same time, but I would not want it near my cooch. The second image is quite a bit more sinister, if your penis swells it digs those little razor-blade teeth into the penis and that would be very painful indeed. Victorians had many pseudo-scientific ideas about masturbation. During a time of sexual “repression” there was an excessive amount of discussion on sexuality, sex and “sexual disorders” in both social and medical settings. So what do Kellogg’s Corn Flakes have to do with this? Dr. John Harvey Kellogg was the lead physician at Battle Creek Sanitarium. It was a health “Reform” center that would not admit known masturbators, as it was the most destructive form of mental illness around. Apparently I’m more deranged than Ted Bundy, Ed Gein or Charles Manson (but they probably masturbated too so maybe I’m ok). Kellogg’s treatments for masturbators included circumcising a male without anesthesia so he would remember the pain and be “scarred” for life and for the ladies, we got a drop of acid on our clit, NBD. It was reported that he did this on at least one pre-teen girl. Corn flakes were designed to be a pleasureless form of breakfast cereal for children because sweet, spicy (or pretty much anything with more flavor than cardboard) or warm food could cause sexual corruption and the urge to masturbate. Masturbators could be pointed out because they were: Males: Unclean, tired, acne-ridden, had cancerous lesions, died slowly Females: Flat chested. fickle, emaciated, had memory loss, and were irritable. Sylvester Graham (yes, Graham crackers creator) had been an infleunce on Kellogg. Graham crackers were also meant to be dull and excite-less. However, he was not nearly as extreme as Kellogg and eventually turned his focus to only include promoting a healthy diet, with only a mention here and there about how female masturbators are just the WORST, am I right?
