The same doctors that believed leeches cured, well, just about everything, and that insanity was caused by demon possession believed that masturbation was a disease that could cause madness, consumption, blindness and death. Up until the 1900s, those caught masturbating were regularly incarcerated against their will in insane asylums. I know this doesn’t really need to be said, but I’m glad I wasn’t born a hundred years earlier.

So, when masturbation is considered a symptom and cause of insanity, it isn’t any wonder that in 1903 Albert Todd received protection from the U.S. Patent Office on a device that applied electricity to the task of deterring masturbation.

The device, a penis-and-testicle cage, was made from a wire-coil so as to “resist any reasonable effort on the part of the wearer in an attempt to break or cut“ his way out. The wire cage was designed to physically “limit longitudinal extension” of the organ within. Take a look (front view and side view), or just imagine wearing a slinky tight around your penis. Which doesn’t sound so bad, except if you happen to have a sudden change in blood pressure in your nether regions and your tinker toy expands against the slinky, which doesn’t slink at all to accommodate your member’s added mass.

Todd’s device also featured a galvanized belt composed of zinc and copper plates that generated a current of electricity when wetted with acids. The current could be generated either by “secretions of the body coming into contact with the belt,” or “by dipping the belt into a suitable acid solution for a few minutes” before cinching it around the masturbator.

Luckily, Todd was not insensitive to the potential effect of electricity applied directly to the genitals, and he noted that the cage and its wire testicle pouch “may be insulated, if desired, in order to protect the patient from the results of too powerful a current of electricity generated by the electric belt.” Todd wanted to apply electricity to your franks and beans, just not too much electricity. How nice of him.
