Cornflakes invented to stop people masturbating.

For people the world over, a bowl of corn flakes is the go-to breakfast of choice.

But for the majority of those who look forward to their morning bowl, it will come as a surprise that they were invented to stop people masturbating.

John Harvey Kellogg, who first created the cereal in the late 19th century, originally intended it to be a ‘healthy, ready-to-eat anti-masturbatory morning meal’, according to Mental Floss.

Mr Kellogg, a physician, was uncomfortable about sex, believing it was unhealthy for the body, mind and soul. He was celibate, having never consummated his marriage and keeping a separate bedroom from his wife.

  1. It's not just 'Shootin' Blanks' is it?
    Masturbation is something you really have an overriding fascination with.

    You can't manage an erection, can you?

    That explains a lot about your personality, and the blog and forum posts, and the overriding need to be recognised as having something left behind.

    It can be an effect of badly controlled diabetes, maybe you need counselling to help you through it?

    Personally, we don't give a toss(!), we quite are happy you're leaving nothing behind you.

    Keep hanging on my every word and elevating our page view count, even you have uses to me.

    Have a nice day.

    Nah that's Frau camp commandant cherubs specialty, she also skulks in the background anonymously editing posts.

    A subject that obviously interests you, can't manage it due to ED ?, tell me do you suffer ED with the appendage sticking out of your head too.

    I know now why Sid has his daily cornflakes it's to stop him going blind.

    Let's watch this space.

    Is that the space between your ears, nothing there to watch apart from a few cabbage leaves.

    Going by your increasingly manic rants sweetie it's clear were still annoying all the right people, which given they are even resorting to the occult to silence us is very encouraging.

    Love and hugs
