Male anti-masturbation device, United Kingdom, 1871-1930
During the late 1800s, masturbation was considered to be not only morally wrong, as it is a form of self-gratification, but also harmful to health. This device was hooked on to a waistband and covered the penis and testicles. The device was worn underneath clothes but the resulting bulge must have looked quite odd!There have been A LOT of these on the oddities tag lately. Do I love the trend? Kind of.
