Spermatorrhes Device,19th Century

Entitled: "Four-pointed urethral ring for the treatment of masturbation." Spermatorrhes is a condition of excessive, involuntary ejaculation. In the 18th and 19th centuries, if a patient had ejaculations outside of marital intercourse, or released more semen than is typical, then he was diagnosed with a disease called spermatorrhea or "seminal weakness". A variety of drugs and other treatments, including circumcision and castration, were advised as treatment. In Western medicine during the 19th century, spermatorrhea was regarded as a medical disorder with corrupting and devastating effects on the mind and body. The cure for spermatorrhea was regarded as enforced chastity and avoidance of masturbation, with circumcision sometimes being used as a treatment.
