it's really sobering to think that in the 1800s/early 1900s, scientific journals and publications - including government-recognized institutions - were churning out shit like this. check out Harvey Kellogg on wikipedia if you want to read more about how serious they were about banning masturbation and associating it with every possible physical and psychological ailment.

Well yes and this is really the more benign end of this type of shit in the Nordics from that time. If you want to ruin your day check out the eugenics and racial hygiene programs in the Nordics in the 20th century.

Oh yeah, this was the funny pictures thread..

The Nordics as in the Nordic countries: Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark and Iceland (and on occasion Estonia and Greenland). A fairly common term at least in Finland because Scandinavia proper wouldn't include Finland or Iceland or possibly Denmark.
