The Dangers Of Touching Yourself

Funny Pictures History - The Dangers Of Touching Yourself

First published in 1830, “Le Livre Sans Titre” (A Book Without a Title), warned young squires and dandy boys of the harmful effects of masturbation with TOTALLY accurate information.

It’s truly a miracle that anyone lives past puberty!

He was young, handsome; his mother’s fond hope…

He corrupted himself! … soon he bore the grief of his error, old before his time… his back hunches…

A devouring fire sears his gut; he suffers horrible stomach pains…

See his eyes once so pure, so brilliant; they are extinguished! a fiery band envelops them.

He can’t walk any more… his legs give way

Hideous dreams disturb his slumber… he cannot sleep…

His teeth rot and fall out…

His chest burns… he spits up blood…

His hair, once so lovely, falls as if from old age; his scalp grows bald before his age…
Funny Pictures History - The Dangers Of Touching Yourself

He hungers; he wants to satiate his appetite; food won’t stay down in his stomach…
Funny Pictures History - The Dangers Of Touching Yourself

His chest collapses… he vomits blood…

Pustules cover his entire body… he is terrible to behold!
Funny Pictures History - The Dangers Of Touching Yourself

A slow fever consumes him, he declines; all of his body burns up…
Funny Pictures History - The Dangers Of Touching Yourself

His entire body stiffens! … his limbs stop moving…
Funny Pictures History - The Dangers Of Touching Yourself

He is delirious; he stiffens against death; death gains strength…

At the age of 17, he expires, and in horrible torment.

  1. This information is absolutely correct.

    – posted posthumously via certified medium

  2. herpina says:

    Life is short, fap more

  3. forkforkforkfork says:

    I call shenanigans! I’ve been fapping for well over 20 years, and I’m only up to the hideous dreams part.

  4. lordofthegadflies says:

    If this is totally accurate, I should have died 32 years ago. Fapping must be keeping me young!

  5. Phyllis says:

    Wow. Sounds more like syphilis to me. Which maybe they could avoid by masturbating more, whoring less.

  6. Cameron Winter says:

    And ironically, its not long after this that the vibrator was invented

  7. Nobody says:

    this sounds more like the plague than a maturbation problem….i mean…if you look at what happens to a person during the plague and what is described here, it’s similar. then again….it could be saying that masturbations LEADS to the plague…in which case if this were true, many people would be gone from the world.

  8. Hapqy says:

    Oh man oh man oh man … I’ll never ever EVER wear a towel wrapped around my head again.

  9. Enchantré says:

    Sounds more like “Consumption”, i.e., tuberculous. A very common disease in that time period.

    • madhatter568 says:

      Yeah…I was thinking tuberculosis too.

    • Kat says:

      *nods* that’s what I was thinking as well. huh. maybe I’d better go get a lung x-ray…

      or does that only apply to males since Queen Victoria ruled that women couldn’t unnaturally abuse their own bodies? *snerk*

    • txcc says:

      Looks like tuberculosis, as you point out. I don’t know about the pustules, but everything else seems to fit. What a drag. Not only dying of consumption, but having everybody think he got it that way.

  10. MNH says:

    This makes me think more of the dangers of the opium dens of the time period than anything else.
    -Pale, lack of personal hygiene
    -Red eyes
    -Exposure to tuberculosis (consumption)
    -pustules (Needle tracks maybe?)
    -Digestive issues (opiates interfere with peristalsis and can cause cramping, vomiting, etc.)

  11. teh d00che – Presidon't of teh Internetz says:

    FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP, FAP

  12. yup says:

    … I can fap to this.

  13. Emery says:

    Oh dear God, for the sake of all that’s holy, pass me the eye bleach. Quickly. Lest I decline.

  14. iris says:

    my boyfriend should have died YEARS ago

  15. kittenkissies says:

    If I looked like he does to begin with (at 17!), I would probably have to masturbate myself to death.

  16. Nursie10 says:

    Meth. Not even once.

  17. aaah says:

    And this is why young men were often encouraged to “sow their wild oats.”……………… Soooooooooooooooooo…. you mean to tell me it’s safer to sleep with a prostitute? I’ll stick to fapping, thankyouverymuch.

  18. DJ says:

    Actually sounds like radiation poison to me, or some other illness.

  19. Nonny says:

    True story bro.

  20. chyriasis says:

    Actually, it looks like the poor boy had both syphilis (hair loss, pustules) and tubercolosis (coughing up and vomiting blood).

  21. Lord Bertrum says:

    It sounds like he died, from radiation poisoning.

    o______o

    Ancient Aliens!!

  22. AniotherKat says:

    Yeah, looks like TB, but it could also be syphilis combined with medical malpractice. They treated syphilis with mercury in those days, so it was a toss-up which would kill you first — the illness or the cure.

    • angela menace says:

      chronic arsenic poisoning (low doses) could account for most of the symptoms, or even lead poisoning. any of those fun heavy metals could do the trick. or even systemic infection if his parents had him soldered into a boys’ chastity belt. putcher willy in the hole which had teeth around it, if you got a woody the device poked little holes in “him”. quite the little deterrent.

  23. Kira says:

    Is there a woman version? I would love to see that.

  24. varenoea says:

    Masturbation keeps you young, beautiful and in good temper. Just look at me! :)

  25. DZ says:

    Rather than dying, they should have made him turn into Gollum.

  26. NatPeggsy says:

    hmm, this has made me think. maybe I SHOULD stop fapping, and try to live in a world free from this form of pleasure
    (5 minuites later) well, that didnt last long. what else is the internet for?!

  27. Miraculous! says:

    If you scroll up from the final panel, it’s a delightful story about how masturbation saved a sickness-ridden young man at the brink of death! :D

  28. IceColdTroll says:

    But …. but … this is in French! I thought only us pore dum Merrkans were ever this ignorant and repressed!

    • Khyyron says:

      They just got over it faster.

      Maybe the fact that our nation was founded by a group of people so uptight the British told them to GTFO had something to do with it.

      • Nero says:

        The colonists of Jamestown et al who came in the name of the Crown to populate new lands in the name of the empire? OHHH you mean the Puritans who came later and colonized a region farther down the coast. Or perhaps the various nationalities that have joined the population since? Quite different people, but I guess a witty retort negates the need for accuracy. Also, the French “got over it faster?” Stop reading the Onion, you don’t get the joke.

      • Cait says:

        Heeheheheehehehe… you are teh awesomness.

  29. I am thirteen and so glad I got to read this. I am Never doing *THAT* again! EVER!

  30. Saga says:

    I would like to have my teeth singing “I will survive” xD lol

  31. Fribbles says:

    Good thing this dosent apply to girls!

  32. nitpicker of Midgar says:

    “A slow fever consumes him, he declines; all of his body burns up…”

    But his pustules cleared right up. That’s a plus.

  33. Acantha says:

    this sounds like the plague lol

  34. Jason says:

    Well that sounds like a mix of Tuberculosis and Radiation poisoning. Quite enjoyable.

  35. Alex says:

    Rule 34?

  36. smuffle says:

    Tuberculosis and smallpox is what came to my mind.
