Antique anti-masturbation device

Image...
Now I've seen it all. "EXTREMELY RARE ANTI-MASTURBATION DEVICE DATING FROM c1880. THE COPPER, SHAPED DEVICE WAS ATTACHED TO A BELT AND WORN BY BOYS AS A MEANS OF PREVENTING NOCTURNAL EMISSIONS. VERY MUCH AN INDICATION OF SOCIETY'S VIEWS ON ONANISM IN THE 19TH CENTURY. THIS IS THE FIRST EXAMPLE WE HAVE OFFERED FOR SALE IN 24 YEARS. THE CONDITION IS EXCELLENT. 3 ½ INCHES TOP TO BASE."

    I also wonder who used this. Was it like a punishment thing? Or... were they going more for chastity belt?

    This was made to keep young boys/men from having either wet dreams or masturbating. In this era, many people thought that ejaculation was harmful to men's health So, to keep the male half from harming themselves, these type of devices were fairly common.

    Excessive ejaculation supposedly led to insanity, a shortening of the lifespan and vulnerability to some diseases. Fun Fun huh?
