A field guide to North American pussy


I think that would be a good idea for a blog post . Someone should do it . I've been kicking the idea around for a while but I'm too lazy to do it .

The process of taking a male baby and cutting off the skin around the head of the penis is common in the U.S. now (about 75 percent of American males are circumcised) but that wasn't always the case . So why did it become standard ? Partly to keep American boys from touching their wieners .

It's fairly recent too. As recently as the 1860s circumcision was still primarily thought of as a "Jewish rite" something that for non-Jews would be done as a last resort in response to infections around the foreskin and other medical problems . But in the late 1800s and early 1900s America wound up in a frenzy over the problem of masturbation that sounds suspiciously similar to the fears about recreational drugs a half century later - masturbation was spoken of as a new , addictive fad among our that doctors said could cause everything from psychosis to epilepsy.

And then , somehow , they decided that circumcision would prevent masturbation (because no Jewish man had ever been caught masturbating up to that point I guess?) The benefits were claimed to be twofold -

First , it supposedly reduced the secretions that would get inflamed around the foreskin and thus get in the habit of rubbing themselves . Seriously , books at the time treat genital itching as a gateway drug to masturbation - a 1914 public school sex ed manual says keeping from scratching their junk is the only way to keep them out of the insane asylum , where all masturbators end up .

Second, many doctors thought that removing the foreskin made masturbation much more difficult (which , as about half of you readers know it totally doesn't) By the way, that 1895 medical journal suggests that another way to prevent boys from masturbating is to sever the fucking nerves to the penis , so there just wouldn't be any feeling there at all .

Again it makes perfect sense if you are under the impression that masturbation is a drug 10 times more dangerous than heroin . It's a telling sign of how villainous masturbation was that "Jewish penis surgery" sounded like a sensible alternative , particularly since the 1860s weren't exactly an enlightened time in Anglo-Jewish relations (it was around then that Union general and soon-to-be president Ulysses S. Grant signed the order expelling all Jews from some Southern states) And yet , by 1895 this "Jewish rite" had become the physician's "closest friend and ally" in the battle against masturbation .

Anti-masturbation crusader John Harvey Kellogg then came along and upped the ante by insisting that circumcision should be performed with no anesthesia . Why ? So the would feel the pain and remember it the next time he was tempted to "self-abuse":

"The operation should be performed by a surgeon without administering an anesthetic , as the brief pain attending the operation will have a salutary effect upon the mind , especially if it be connected with the idea of punishment , as it may well be in some cases . The soreness which continues for several weeks interrupts the practice , and if it had not previously become too firmly fixed , it may be forgotten and not resumed ."

I reckon associating the penis with pain would lead to a different conclusion entirely .

Oh , and the follow-up to the procedure isn't creepy at all , saying the patient ;

"... should be so carefully surrounded by vigilance that he cannot possibly transgress without detection . If he is only partially watched , he soon learns to elude observation , and thus the effect is only to make him cunning in his vice"

And yes , this is Kellogg of "Kellogg's cereal" fame. Kellogg , as you can tell , was really into keeping from masturbating . An entire segment of the food industry would be born as a result of this crusade .

At some point , masturbation experts (like you ! Zing !) decided that a major culprit in provoking the urge was diet . Certain foods were "excitants" known to fire the blood . Of course in the late 1800s "excitants" included such exotic fare as cloves, vinegar , pickles , candy , eggs and pork . Thankfully , to protect from the evils of peppermint , anti-masturbation dietitians invented the opposite of tasty food , namely cold breakfast cereal . Grape-Nuts , and later Corn Flakes , were specially designed to be non-stimulating alternatives to "food"

So when you would see ads for cereals like Grape-Nuts back then (invented by CW Post, a competitor of Kellogg from the same era) you would see innuendos about how it won't "heat the blood" the way other foods do . The ads also boasted that it was "predigested" because if you're trying to remain cool and unexcited , clearly you should model your diet after a baby bird . Mr. Kellogg , meanwhile , believed eating his "corn flakes" would do the trick . If he was smart , he'd have advertised his cereal as the only way to prevent forceful circumcision , without anesthesia , followed by a 24-hour masturbation watch . That's some pretty strong damned motivation right there .

Also corn flakes make terrible lubrication .

Another inventor of "food to make you stop jerking off" was Reverend Sylvester Graham , of Graham cracker fame . His cold breakfast option to suppress sexual urges was originally called Honey Biscuits (which ironically would be a great porn name) It was specifically recommended as an important part of the diet for those recovering from masturbation for the same reason as the cereals: a bland taste and ease of digestion designed to provide nutrition without any hint of stimulation .

Graham crackers were also sold as the perfect food to help gain weight and thus have the strength necessary to resist temptation and this was even before started eating them with chocolate and marshmallows.

"Our research suggests that fat don't get laid . Gentlemen, I have an idea ..."

And given that chocolate was thought to be an aphrodisiac , this made smores an existential battle for a Boy Scout's soul .

Putting first by putting employees first, immediately after prioritizing fiscal responsibilities and leveraging profitability towards exceeding by empowering our employees to put (and themselves) first, in a diverse and respectful environment of only those that come first, first.

fascinating!

But sorry, I'm still brainwashed and like the way a circumcised one looks. Now I have to feel guilty about all of the needless suffering the poor he-baby went through

And if a guy had nocturnal emissions then he was a victim of a succubus {or incubus I can't remember which is which}. Then he'd have to be exorcised.

Probably nothing , the lady orgasm wasn't invented until 1973 although personally I still have my doubts about its existence

It makes sense really - having sex with ghosts doesn't count

Apple bread always makes me horny regardless

I'm in no way saying circumcising is a bad thing (it helps prevent infections) but it just doesn't stop anyone from jerking off . Except maybe ladies who like masturbating to uncircumcised penises .

Succubus - the incubus was for ladies

Also that's probably true
