I ate Graham Crackers and masturbated yesterday, so I call their effectiveness into question.

Sorry for being lewd by explicitly mentioning that I eat Graham crackers.

Americans in the 1800's were really concerned about stopping kids from jerking it.
Corn flakes, as well as circumcision, were introduced to prevent masturbation.
Seriously, puritans were insane. Why did we have to inherit their retarded beliefs?

>Reverend Sylvester Graham
>Graham believed that adhering to the diet would prevent people from having impure thoughts and in turn would stop masturbation (thought by Graham to be a catalyst for blindness) among other things.
>The graham cracker, invented by its namesake as a staple for the diet, eventually became part of American cuisine.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_cracker#History

>The graham cracker was originally conceived of as a health food as part of the Graham Diet, a regimen to suppress what he considered unhealthy carnal urges, the source of many maladies according to Graham. Reverend Graham would often lecture on "self-abuse", as masturbation was commonly called at the time. Graham would often say how these experiences were inspired by children eating crackers.[1] One of his many theories was that one could curb one's sexual appetite by eating bland foods. Another man who held this belief was John Harvey Kellogg, the inventor of the corn flakes cereal.[2]

This is crap now. It's a stretch to extrapolate the dogma of these type "health nut" pioneers beliefs about cravings for anything, food or carnal, and the association to diet as somehow that bland food was given to stop masturbation. Their beliefs were a little more complex than that, and they were also businessman. Advertising and snake oil level claims abounded, but they did what they needed to fill up their resorts and sell their products to the suffering.

Good advice. People don't understand you can die from anesthesia, rupturing something, uncontrolled bleeded, etc.

On shitty obscure articles about some small town's city council and elementary school hacked by the kids yeah, on things that are actually popular like Graham Crackers and Corn Flakes no.

Plus there's a citation to it and you can find the story on other sites.

The Kellogg being a religious nut story is pretty popular and have heard it many times. I didn't know Graham was also part of that.

Something my ma used to do:

take marshmallows, soak them in whipped cream until they bloat like a week old corpse, and then roll them in crushed graham crackers.

Delicious for some reason.

Well, yes and no. Recently read a bunch of Graham's lectures and pic related and, though they were not made specifically to avoid just "self-pollution", they just entered in a diet aiming to avoid many lifestyle evils where you could find, among many, masturbation.

>19th century
>puritans
I understand it's common to use the term "puritan" as an insult based on historical ignorance, but could you please refrain from using terms you don't know the meaning of? Even the New England Scrooby form of Puritanism had long died out by then. You have much more to blame our culture's sexual scruples on than a Church of England sect which wanted to sing psalms, avoid the chasuble, and nix the statues in the divine service.

They were made for mental patients (or Alternative Health patients, I cant remember but I know the weirder Kellog brother was into that shit before hippies had parents
