Throughout history, masturbation has been seen as a great evil, destroying the minds and bodies of youth across the world. Luckily, we're all about destroying the minds and bodies of youth! Heck, around here it's a way of life.

To discourage would-be wackers, authority figures often cite the horrendous side-effects of playing with yourself. How many times have you heard you'll go blind, or grow hair on the palms of your hands? At some point this guy named Tissot published his philosophy on masturbation, including the harmful side-effects of this pleasurable practice. Check 'em out!

Hippocrates, a Greek physician regarded as the Father of Medicine, believed that loss of semen would lead to spinal problems!

The word masturbation first appeared in early Roman times and is thought to derive from the Latin manus (hand) and stupro (to defile), however scholars now say that it is from the Greek root, mezea, which means genitals.

It seems the thought of masturbation as evil all started with the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament and a guy named Onan. He felt that it was morally wrong to impregnate his brother's wife, even though God deemed it okay, so according to Genesis 38:9, "whenever he lay with his brothers wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from producing offspring." His actions were deemed a sin and masturbation was referred to as "onanism," well into the twentieth century.

Up late last night?

It was not until 1758, when a Swiss physician and advisor to the Vatican, Simon Tissot, published a study called A Treatise on the Diseases Produced by Onanism claiming to prove that masturbation caused insanity, that it was transformed from a sin to an illness. Tissot believed, in fact, that all sexual activity was dangerous; it forced blood to rush to the head and out of other areas in the body, thus causing the nerves and vital tissues to degenerate. We know better now, but it is amazing at how long it took to become open about this intimate topic. Masturbation has been shown to enhance self-confidence, release stress, and allow people to explore their own sexual response cycle.
