Anyone have a copy of this 1932 gem? I NEED to know what 1, 2, & 4 are (for curiosity purposes, definitely don’t want to try it [I definitely want to try it, 9 & 10 look like the sweet spot])
When I was a teen, my mom found a used book from the 1920s called What a Young Boy Ought to Know at a thrift store and bought it for me as a joke. It was basically a manual for puberty explaining the changes your body was going through, the importance of good hygiene, etc.
But the main point was… Don’t masturbate! Because if you do you’ll get dark circles under your eyes and your skin will turn sallow and everybody will know you’re a pervert and no one will want to be friends with you.
I agree. Even some shit I've seen on facebook. This guy was a key founder of naturopathy and paved the way for such charlatans as David Avocado Wolfe whom I hold directly responsible for the death of a friend of mine from Lyme's disease. She wasn't the smartest person ever but she was the sweetest, and didn't deserve what happened
oh my, googling [site:pdfcoffee.com lust washing method] gives... interesting results (how did we as a species survive), also, Google Books gives some other references
I found the first link from the ISBN number, so I'm wondering if the former is the summarized version and what you found is the original text introducing/discussing it.

I guess we know now who used up all the hot water.

Yoga + Shower?

This looks like doing a yoga routine in the shower, which'd probably feel pretty good in all honesty, just need a big enough shower for it.

This guy had a medical degree? He seems unclear on the difference between the anus and the rectum.

I’ve been doing this for years anytime I have a hangover. Didn’t know it had a name.

Take a 1/4 shot of snake-oil before shower to accelerate the effect

It was the 1930’s so it was a shot of cocaine but yes

@op I found it online under a different title here: https://collections.nlm.nih.gov/bookviewer?PID=nlm:nlmuid-33611900R-bk

We’ve got the MVP over here!!! I’m probably short enough I can actually try this out. I’ll report back…

step one was probably cocaine.

This is exactly how I was taught to shower as a kid… maybe my parents had this book ?
UncleMeaty
I hope they did, because if they didn't it's much weirder.

That's a big shower, did he use the one at the local high school?
UncleMeaty
Imagine showing up to the local high school and explaining to them you need to use their shower for a little while to do your blood-washing.

The blood showers never work unless you’re burning down the nightclub because you’re drunk on drug blood

I think more homes have them standard now.

This would be much more hilarious if some people people didn't actually fall for this shit
NegasonicAdultEMP
This is tame for 1930’s remedies tbh

… and before anyone who is looking at this decides to give it a try - please don’t. That’s an excessive amount of water going down the drain.
NegasonicAdultEMP
And don’t use plastic straws because we’re the problem!
inkyjennings
Well, I’m Australian, and we are very conscious of water usage.
NegasonicAdultEMP
No shade intended towards your comment. I’m just in awe that it’s 2026 and the world is on fire instead of being a Star Trek like utopia

For $4 I'd almost be tempted to buy it
https://benedictlustpublications.com/product/the-blood-washing-method/
BlindTreeFrog
To be clear, i won't buy it. I'm not even clear the site will let you. But lose weight while crying in the shower? I'm down
BlindTreeFrog
ok, it will let you buy it.... for some reason i couldn't view my cart on mobile. Still not going to buy it... but if I was, $5 shipping is obscene.
