Male Anti-Masturbation Devices.

Victorian Anti-Masturbation Devices: They obsessed with preventing acts of self-love. This terrifying contraption is called a ‘jugum penis.’ It was designed to prevent both masturbation and ‘nocturnal incontinence.’ Should a man become aroused in the middle of the night, this contraption would clamp down, extinguishing both his desire as well as his erection. Medical practitioners believed that masturbation caused a wide range of mental/physical disorders, and could even prove fatal over time.
