M. (2005). History of sexual medicine: The antimasturbation crusade in antebellum American medicine. The Journal of Sexual Medicine, 2(5), 722-731. In the United States, the War on Masturbation began to "climax" in the mid-19th century--a climax that continued into perhaps the first third of the twentieth century, although the claims made about the deleterious effects of chronic "self-abuse" evolved through this time period. There's a passage in the first edition of the Boy Scout's Handbook (1911) that sounds like General Ripper's paranoid ramblings about the loss of "precious bodily fluids" in Stanley Kubrick's "Dr. Strangelove.
