Mother and Daughter pg 19-20

From Chapter 3: Treatment for Habit of Masturbation

“There are times when children masturbate right under the eyes of their elders without the latter becoming aware of it. For this reason, any suspicious movements should be watched – such as when a boy has his hands in his pockets or a girl is continuously crossing her legs and rubbing her thighs together. Always interrupt such suspicious movements. [...]

Immoderate indulgence is apt to lead to complete nervous exhaustion with sparks or flashes before the eyes or a dry inflammation of the eyes or it may lead to serious functional sexual disturbances. Lack of energy, shyness, absent-mindedness and an inability to work may also result, and the habitual masturbator is almost always a melancholy person. It is, as stated, one of the major causes of impotency. [...]

Should the boy or girl in spite of a sincere desire to overcome the habit, be unable to do so, by all means consult a physician, who will prescribe medical treatment, which in almost every case will bring results.”

M.A. Horn, “Mother and Daughter”, 1949, pg. 19-20.

I don't even know what to say to that...

My grandmother told me, when I was a kid, that if I touched my peepee, my bellybutton would fall off.
I was traumatized for years.

Nobody ever told me any of that blindness, bellybutton, flashes before the eyes stuff.

And now look at me! Healthy and normal as can be!

sounds like the author of this passage knows a little too much about the topic to be so vehemently opposed to the activities, doncha think?
