17 Brutal and Zany Anti-Gooning Devices of Olden Times
Back in the Victorian era, masturbation used to be a horrific sin instead of just a way to spend a lazy Sunday. But try as they might, people couldn’t stop others from jerking it with simple words alone. Thus, many brilliant inventors in the late 19th and early 20th century patented and built various insane devices designed to curb masturbation once and for all.
Some of them are horrific and hurt just to look at, while others are more like the board game Mousetrap. The question I’m left with after looking at all these wacky inventions is, what the hell were they jacking off to back then anyway? The internet wasn’t even around yet. Women’s ankles?
