“A Remedy for Masturbation Almost Always Successful in Small Boys: Circumcision” | Betty Dodson with Carlin Ross
The true origins of circumcise are seemingly lost in antiquity, although many theories exist. However, in America, non-religious circumcision became popularized only in the mid-1800s during the highly puritanical Victorian era. Although there are many ideas as to why the practice is done today, the original motivation was to prevent children from masturbating (which was called self-abuse at the time, due to the belief that it caused disease, insanity and death).
British patients are flocking to take part in ‘sex addiction’ recovery programmes – Infidelity, Love & Sex – The Independent
…Andy is in his late thirties now, a well-spoken, suited, high-flyer in the city. His frame is imposing, but the subject makes him vulnerable. He’s embarrassed, talking about his compulsive masturbation and the marked change in his personality, as time went on, from relaxed to angry. But he has found a way of speaking about it, when previously he refused to acknowledge how his life was meandering out of control. It was his girlfriend who confronted him – none of his friends know about his addiction, or the subsequent therapy he’s been undergoing for over two years. “There’s so much online; everyone talks about being anaesthetised – you see an amount of a certain subject and you become completely immune to it,” he says. “You don’t think about the person behind it, the impact, it’s there for your pleasure. That was the most worrying thing. I think it just leads you on to so many different avenues you wouldn’t even think about. The more you look at something, the more you think, ‘That’s boring, now I want to find something else’. You can end up in serious trouble.”
Andy had a routine. Every night, he’d come home from work and go online to look at pornography for a couple of hours before dinner. After dinner, he’d go out for a drink or to do sport, and then he’d log on just before bed – which often lasted until the early hours of the morning. The next day at work, he’d be exhausted – and then repeat the same activities when the working day was over and he’d find himself at home again. He stopped trying to have relationships with any emotional intimacy; he went out with someone for a year and manufactured so much travel and business work that he only saw her about six times before ending it….
5 Anti-Masturbation Devices That Will Haunt Your Dreams | Gay Blog | Gay News
A boner with too much time on its little boner hands (with boner fingers, natch) is the devil’s playground, my grandmother used to say. Or something like that. Hell, I was too busy masturbating to really pay much attention.
Anti-masturbation was big business for much of the early 20th century. Real talk, it was practically the oil industry of the era. But which products ruled the market with a spiked-palm, iron fist?

The Bowen Device
“This device was like a cup that was placed over the head of the penis and attached to pubic hair by chains and clips. When the wearer got an erection, the pubic hair would be plucked painfully and the wearer would have to respond.”

History of Masturbation
…Here are some examples antimasturbation devices:
1. Simple Bondage– For some, the simple answer was to tie the masturbators up and prevent them from touching themselves.
2. Leather-Jacket Corset– A corset made out of leather and steel to be used by boys, was created by Dr. Fleck in 1831. It included a metal penis tube and “a steel band riveted to the shield permanently and attached to the body with an encircling steel band in such a manner that it cannot be removed and prevented access to the testicles.” The doctor once reported that “it closes with greatest accuracy, fits to perfection, and the boy wears it continuously without having succeeded even once in reaching his genitals or pulling the machine away from his body so as to produce friction on his genitals.”
3. Spike-lined Ring– Created to prevent the nocturnal emissions and any display of nighttime sexuality, spike-lined penis rings were created in the 1950′s by doctors in Boston.
4. Spermatorrhea Bandage– These devices kept the penis tightly bound, thus making it impossible to have an erection….
Masturbation Addiction
The first step in overcoming a masturbation addiction is knowing the truth. First you need to know that sexual urges are not bad. You are not a bad person for feeling sexually aroused. The sexual feelings you have are a normal healthy part of your body and can bring so much happiness if used correctly. These strong urges are meant to bond you in a strong relationship with your spouse. If you act out alone it becomes addictive. However, even as a single person you can use this energy to do many good things in life and be confident you are in control.
Is Claiming You’re a Sex Addict Just an Excuse for Bad Behavior? | Sex and Intimacy
…So, all of that being said – it is my belief, as well as all sex addiction treatment professionals and those that accept sexual addiction as a valid diagnosis – living a life of secrecy (a “double life”) is not fun, NOR is claiming to be a sex addict an excuse for bad behavior; rather it is the acknowledgment that there is an aspect of one’s life they cannot control and they need treatment in order to regain what has been lost or displaced because of their addiction.

Porn-Induced Sexual Dysfunction Is A Growing Problem
A growing number of young, healthy Internet pornography users are complaining of delayed ejaculation, inability to be turned on by real partners, and sluggish erections.
Lots of guys, 20s or so, can’t get it up anymore with a real girl, and they all relate having a serious porn/masturbation habit. Guys will never openly discuss this with friends or co-workers, for fear of getting laughed out of town. But when someone tells their story on a health forum, and there are 50-100 replies from other guys who struggle with the same thing, this is for real.
