In The 1800’s Men Wore Metal Spiked Devices To Prevent Erections

By ( 9 )

In the 1800s it was believed that masturbation and wet dreams were a symptom of a condition called “spermatorrhea” or “seminal weakness”.

The ring was placed at the base of the penis and fastened with a screw such that any engorgement of the organ would meet with the teeth of the ring and arrest the process.

If a man had ejaculations outside of marital intercourse, or released more semen than is typical, he was considered mentally ill.

    They had bad thoughts that were unclean, thoughts like those are not allowed in certain religions so they came up with a way to break the cycle.

    The first tool of the thought police.
