Something Interesting: American Sex Machines

Submitted by: MR

In times when masturbation was considered to affect health, asylum patients had to wear a very bulky chastity belt which covered the whole genital area (penis, balls, back). When they wanted to go to the toilet (even for peeing) they had to ask a nurse to unlock them. Then they had to go to the toilet supervised and were locked again.

This information is taken from a very interesting book called "American Sex Machines". They describe anti-ejaculatory devices, belts, pain producing anti-rape-devices etc.
