We also meet 19th- and 20th-century doctors whose response to people having fun was to warn of danger—they condemned bicycling because it could stimulate the "sexual system" of "women of a certain temperament;" and protected young men from the dread disease of masturbation by blistering their penises with iodine (ouch!). Laugh out loud and wince in sympathy with this insider's collection of the most bizarre medical cases in history.
