Dick Hole Mind Control, 1918 Version

The Week has collected some century-old wedding night tips, and some, as you might expect, are batshit (“Absence [of shame] is a proof of dullness and coarseness,” “The young matron should shape her life to the probable and desired contingency of conception and maternity. Otherwise she has no right or title to wifehood”).

Others actually hold up quite well: “Every intelligent physician knows that conjugal life is the salvation of many women.”

Most notable, however, is the early signaling of the power of Dick Hole Mind Control:

In sexual intimacies, there is a discharge of this creative fluid from the body of the man, but where there is a full response on the part of the wife, there seems to be an exchange of magnetism or energy1 which makes up for the loss. If, however, his desire alone is active and she is simply fulfilling a supposed wifely duty, she gives nothing to him, and he, therefore, suffers a definite loss in vitality.

1″Half a cup of fluid flowing down a guy’s pee-hole and nesting in his balls.”
