expect at those two equipment above . Both devices are from the belated 1800s and electrified , and I would n’t wish either of them upon my worst enemy . Can you determine what they are ? Your swag will be noesis and revulsion .
Okay , so the doodad on the leftfield is an “ Electrical Body - Wear ” patented by John V. Long of Jersey City , New Jersey on January 15 , 1889 . Do n’t allow the innocuous name fool you . According to the inventor , this machine had some rather shocking software :
The object of my invention is to prevent the occurring of unvoluntary germinal emissions , and thereby assist in the therapeutic of those diseases by which they are caused .
To this end my design consist mainly in an electric circuit - accountant construct so as to be work by the movement of the male genital organs , and to thereby affect a electrical circuit whose result is to awaken the substance abuser from rest . I opt that the lap shall be arranged to lot an electric shock to the user to awaken him . It may , however , act in other way , as by give an audible alarm system by means of chime or vibrator .
Indeed , Mr. Long was patenting a bloomer - activated anti - wet dream machine ( or perhaps an anti - wet dreaming alarm ) . Let ’s never save about this again .
The doohickey on the right was the piece of work of a one Mr. G.R. King of Dallas Texas . What was it used for ? Take it out , Mr. King :
My innovation relate to an galvanic appliance , adapted for use on entire , to barricade and cure the habit of onanism [ … ]
Yup , on March 20 , 1894 , Mr. King attempted to patent a gimmick that would block horses from jerk off . Yes , male buck masturbate by rubbing their John Thomases against their stomachs . Back in the day , this normal behaviour was thought to be a sign of boredom , so Mr. King devise a newfangled horse cock zapper .
If these inventions vellicate you , you could see more of the patentshereandhere . John Ptak of Ptak Science Books will post more weird early electric devices presently , so bleach your eye andhead on over .
