Porn Flakes and their fallout. Previously.

Wow, that's a great read; thanks! Samuel Graham was born in the little town I grew up in, and as such was kind of idolized by the locals. I had a high school history teacher who was a bit... taken, let's just say, with some of the more insane points of his ideology, and he once regaled us for half an hour about the evils of self-flagellation. Bizarre. Also, I once had a true Graham cracker at a town festival--one of the healthful concoctions Graham had designed as part of his regimen. It was the most foul, inedible thing I've ever had the misfortune of tasting--sort of how I imagine a mothball tasting. I kind of admire the pluck of anyone who could turn this sort of health-food abomination into Honey Grahams.

Porn Flakes! When you pour the milk on them they go "Snatch! Nipple! Crotch!"

All I can say is, that circumcision cure for masturbation? Does not work.

By: Richard Daly

A remedy [for masturbation] which is almost always successful in small boys is circumcision...The operation should be performed by a surgeon without administering an anesthetic, as the brief pain attending the operation will have a salutary effect upon the mind.-- Dr. John Harvey Kellogg OK, so that's evil. And bound to het up our usual circumcision debate. In females, the author has found the application of pure carbolic acid to the clitoris an excellent means of allaying the abnormal excitement. -- Dr. John Harvey Kellogg That's some fucked up repugnant shit right there.

Huh, my tricorder is still showing life-signs. It's just a bunch of pictures of cereal boxes though.

The obsession with sexuality has been with us for a long, long time. And if you think about, it does make some sense. Sexual arousal does cause behavioral changes, and it certainly makes people act strangely, even 'wickedly' (such as cheating on your spouse, raping people, promiscuity leading to STDs and unwanted pregnancy etc) The fact that sexuality was repressed in tons of different cultures all across the world at different times makes me think there must be some reason. Perhaps having to do with switching from a hunter-gatherer society to a farming society caused it along with other things we now consider backwards (like slavery). In modern society such repression is probably unnecessary, especially now that we have birth control and condoms.

A fascinating article and a great post. It's amazing to me that in recent history medicine was defined by guesswork and morality. It's only coincidence that some breakfast cereals are nutritionally beneficial (or are they? prev.)

delmoi, I think you're on to something. When one adds to the lack of birth control/condoms the fact that most STD's couldn't be cured, puritanical attitudes toward sexuality are a bit easier to understand.

I eat 2 bowls of Kaboom and I can fuck all night, yall. I find that the hallucinations from Kaboom really get in the way of a solid rogering -- I sometimes end up making love to the couch instead of the missus. Which is fine at the time, because either way I'm "really" banging Jeanne D'Arc, but the fabric burns get tedious. I prefer Semen-Frosted Nookie Bombs or Spunkios. Energy and "lift" without the psychedelia.

Buster: Mom is becoming a little controlling. Michael: What tipped you off? When she locked you out on the balcony again? Buster: That was half my fault. I thought I saw a graham cracker out there. Michael: You baited the balcony? Lucille: Prove it. Sorry. I'm always at least two years behind everyone else.

And on the subject of klismaphilia, I present you: "Why not just objects or fingers...why enemas?" See also: Enemas4Fun. Or rather, don't, if you're that much of a total bourgeois puritan.

The response to that "why enemas" post Powerful Religious Baby linked too is bizarre. Your post is too long! No one will read it!

I read this while listening to Glen Gould's variations on Bachs fugues. I suggest all of you do the same.

Is there anything similar to Postum, a cereal-based coffee substitute, that can be purchased nowadays?

Postum is still on sale at my local grocery store. Now in two flavors - original, and coffee! Look at that! Postum is on the wp.
