Kellogg's Porn Flakes

A remedy [for masturbation] which is almost always successful in small boys is circumcision...
The operation should be performed by a surgeon without administering an
anesthetic, as the brief pain attending the operation will have a salutary effect
upon the mind...
In females, the author has found the application of pure carbolic acid
to the clitoris an excellent means of allaying the abnormal excitement."


- Dr. John Harvey Kellogg


"All kinds of stimulating and heating substances; high-seasoned food; rich dishes; the free use of flesh; and even the excess of aliment; all, more or less -- and some to a very great degree -- increase the concupiscent excitability and sensibility of the genital organs..."


- Sylvester Graham


Dr John Harvey Kellogg was a Seventh-Day Adventist who thought that the use of reprodutive organs were the highest form of physical act that man was capable of and any form of abuse was an outrage of nature. Right....pity his wife. Maybe she was getting some when his back was turned. And Sylvester Graham, an American Presbyterian Minister thought that a masturbator grows up "with a body full of disease, and with a mind in ruins, the loathsome habit still tyrannizing over him, with the inexorable imperiousness of a fiend of darkness." Cool. He obviously thinks wanking is a profession. He further believed that the loss of semen was injurious to health and one should not have sex more than 12 times a year. What? Injurious to health? No extras for being good? What about anniversaries and birthdays? Just once a month?

I am starting to worry cause I used to eat lots of Kelloggs Corn Flakes during uni days. I wonder if it has caused any damage to me. Thank god I don't think I have ever eaten any Graham crackers.

So what was Tori Amos on about when she was singing she wasn't a cornflake girl? She didn't believe in being repressed?
