homoeopathic cure of sexual ills
Onanism or conjugal onanism
The following case reported by Dr. W.M. Turner needs no comments :"Mr., aged forty, gentleman of leisure, large frame;; presented himself to me in an emaciated condition-face pale and haggard, pulse unsteady and tremulous, form bent as though with the infirmity of years, an anxious yearning look in his eyes. History of the case was unsuccessful treatment I found a clue. He accidentally let drop the remark that he "didn't wish any more children. From this I suspected conjugal onanism on his part. He soon made a reluctant but full confession confirming my suspicious, ending by pitifully declaring that he was entirely impotent. With this new light I recommended full diet, natural coitus after total abstinence for two months and Phosphorus. He progressed to recovery in six or eight weeks." Onanism, or "Conjugal Onanism", consists in having connection with a woman in such a manner as to prevent conception, and may be practised in a variety of ways, but always with detriment to the health of both man and woman. In fact, as shown by the case quoted above, the physical effects may be even worse than those following masturbation.
A well-known physician maintains that all coition should be full and complete and not indulged in oftener than once a week. "How many men", he asks, "of sixty years of age are capable of natural and satisfactory intercourse? Not one in twenty, and yet the power ought to be retained, and is in the cases of those who have been temperate in its use up to, and even beyond, the age of three score and ten. Indeed, it is rare to find a man of fifty who has so husbanded his powers as to admit of his having sexual intercourse once a fortnight , and then the act is neither satisfactory to him nor the recipient. But a times a more serious evil than the comparatively early decay of sexual power is observed as the consequence of excess, and this is the supervention of impotence either suddenly, after some extraordinary indulgence, or more gradually, in consequence of repeated excesses".(Hammond). What was said of masturbation applies with equal force here. The practice cannot be continued and the parties to it remain healthy. Many pages could be filled with cases where the man or the woman (like the one who consulted Dr. Turner) have suffered severely from a variety of ills and did not even suspect the cause. Some years ago a wise old doctor said that he cured many of his married patients by "prescribing conception". That prescription will cure many, no doubt. For medical treatment, the same remedies that apply to the ills of spermatorrhoea apply here, though medicines, as in masturbation, are of no permanent avail until the command "cease to do evil" is obeyed.
Cases, and there are such, where conception, for physical reasons in the wife, is impossible are beyond the province of this book. Consult some wise physician. The term onanism is sometimes used as a synonym for masturbation, but this is a mistake, as it is properly employed to designate the act of coition so performed as to prevent conception. The word is derived from the act of Onan, the son of Judah, as described in the 38th chapter of Genesis.
