EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "MASTURBATION DEVICE. A Curious Artifact from the Past". This intriguing print captures a French advertisement dating back to 1904, showcasing an unusual device designed for the treatment of masturbation. The engraving depicts an early appliance that aimed to address this perceived societal concern during that era. The image showcases a text-laden ad with intricate details, highlighting the apparatus's purpose and features. While it may seem peculiar by today's standards, this artifact sheds light on historical attitudes towards sexuality and attempts at regulating human behavior. Notably, the advertisement prominently displays a phallus symbol, emphasizing its connection to sexual activity. It also alludes to chastity belts as a means of curbing self-pleasure. Preserved by The Granger Collection, this piece serves as a reminder of how cultural norms evolve over time. It invites us to reflect on past beliefs surrounding human sexuality and provides valuable insight into our collective journey toward understanding and acceptance.
