Keep your hands where everyone can see them while attending this stern lecture warning of the physical and moral decay brought about by the 19th century’s most destructive social contagion - MASTURBATION!!
It’s a wrist achingly provocative tale of madness, blisters, breakfast cereals, female hysteria and abstinence.

•  Are there any life and sanity threatening  conditions NOT caused by masturbation?
• Why is spicy food evil?
• What is a 'four-pointed urethral ring' ?
• Does it really make you go blind? 

All these complex medical questions and more will be answered in episode 36 of Rogues Gallery Uncovered - The podcast of bad behaviour in period costume.

Surrounded by moral panic, Victorian Morality had only one solution, Anti-masturbation. The purity movement called for self-control; public health called for sexual repression. In the process, a whole catalogue of masturbation myths was created along with a cupboardful of anti-masturbation devices. Leave yourself alone and listen to this edifying presentation.

Thanks for listening. Stay Roguish!
