I'll never look at a box of corn flakes the same again ... >From one of the comments:
"The anti-mastubation views were popular in the 1800s and right up to the mid 1900s - it was widely accepted that mastubation or 'nocternal emission' caused dystrophy, blindness, weakening of immunity, insanity and paralysis. It was a view promoted by Kelloggs (Better known for inventing a new corn-based breakfast cereal), the inventor of some of the anti-mastubation tools and promotor of all others - he was a most dedicated crusader against the dangers of mastubation, and particually important in returning circumcision (Previously very rare in the US) to commonplace by promoting it as a preventative measure - circumcise your child and it would become more difficult for them to mastubate, thus protecting them from all the above-listed illnesses. What loving parent could turn that down? While Kelloggs was one of the most enthusiastic, the mastubation-causes-illness story was perpetuated by just about every doctor - in large part because no 'respectable' doctor would dare to investigate scientifically any matter of human sexuality until Kinsey came along - while his research methods were far from perfect, his lack of respect for taboos was key in opening human sexuality issues up to scientific investigation. These investigations later determined that almost everything known to medical science about sex in general and espicially about mastubation was wrong." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:255333 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
