There were a lot of devices preventing the masturbation developed by the end of 19 century by inventors, inspired by mentioned ideas. It was looked like “chastity belts” – iron covers for penis and testicles, strapped to the belt of the man. That was really difficult times for representatives of the strong sex, as the proper treatment was consist in the using of electric discharges to the genitals.
