A 2019 study found that people who practice BDSM have fewer sexual problems than the general population. Furthermore, in a 2015 study, males who perform BDSM had lower distress in sexual functioning than non-BDSM counterparts. Ejaculation was seen as a sexual dysfunction, and because semen was seen as a man’s “vital heat”, spermatorrhoea was believed to lead to frightening bodily effects. Pascoal, P. M., et al.(2015). Sexual satisfaction and distress in sexual functioning in a sample of the BDSM community: A comparison study between BDSM and non-BDSM contexts [Abstract].

A 2021 systematic review notes that BDSM interactions are complex, and several psychological, social, and biological processes can influence this sexual behavior. If you were a man living in the Victorian-era and you happened to be experiencing anxiety, irritability or a loss of confidence, a visit to the doctor might lead to a series of embarrassing questions about your love life. Dr Woolf tells us the story of a man named George Drysdale (1824-1904) who captures the true fear young men felt about masturbation.

Simply put she showed her mom her independence even getting a job away at school over the summer so she did not have to go home. An honest and/or brave man might confess to dabbling in the occasional sport of self-love. This confession would undoubtedly unleash a diagnosis of “spermatorrhoea”— a so-called “illness” that sparked an influx of anti-masturbation devices that looked exactly like penis torture chambers.According to Dr Woolf, the word spermatorrhoea was originally coined by French physician Claude-Francoise Lallemard to describe involuntary seminal loss, usually via “nocturnal emissions” (again, wet dreams!) It was basically the word for the male version of female “hysteria”. https://www.issm.info/sexual-health-headlines/the-biological-context-of-bdsm?highlight=WyJiZHNtIl0= I love the sense of control that comes from invading your most intimate personal spaces: tubes inserted everywhere, or double penetration with sounds and dildos thrusting simultaneously in and out of your orifices. Pinning you down inexorably to my medical chair and taking complete control of your body. Crushing your nipples with clamps and swelling and distending them with suction cups, rendering them ultra-sensitive before I pierce them with needles. Making your whole body writhe in torment, forcing your muscles and nerves to twitch and dance for Me as I apply electrics to your most tender parts. Plunging sounds deep inside your urethra, stretching and opening you up for Me before I insert a catheter deep inside you and drain you dry. Flushing you out with gravity feed enema bags or pumping you full of warm soapy water with a Higginsons syringe until you cannot hold it a moment longer. Plunging my fingers deep inside your anus and massaging your prostate until I milk you dry. Additionally, using restraints may produce a feeling of sensory deprivation. This may help to not only increase a person’s excitement, but enhance the sensation of the remaining senses, which can heighten pleasure. Builds deeper connections

In the eyes of the Victorian-era doctors, there was only way to stop the spread of “spermatorrhoea”: men needed to stop masturbating. It was as simple and as complicated as that.

Manufacturers rushed to construct horrific devices as doctors tried to cure their patients of what was known as the male version of female “hysteria”. Why all the fuss? While it’s widely agreed today that masturbation doesn’t have any dangerous side effects, in the 19th century it was seen as a serious threat to mental and physical health. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/346872976_Stadistic_Study_of_Accidents_and_Non-Intentioned_Injuries_Associated_with_Kinky-BDSM_Practices_in_The_Spanish_Comunnity
