The English Patient. I think my date is still in the cinema watching this movie. I left her there after the first three hours. That was almost 20 years ago.

You would think, by starting a thread on Free Republic referencing an article that discusses "Anti-Self Pollution Devices" is sure to be a classic...I hope!

Hahahaha...probably some guy’s friend found it in his room, and the guy had to use some version of Victorian Photoshop application to put together a faux advertisement to prove to his friend that it really WAS a medical device and not a perverted sex toy!

When you think about it, it really does demonstrate the absolute crazy love some men feel for a woman, to keep her happy.

To see Beaches with her.

Apparently there used to be a phobia about nocturnal emissions.

The contraptions people wore to bed to prevent them. Some of them had spikes on them! Yikes!

“Beaches” was the ultimate torture.

Sitting through "The English Patient" was torture. It should have been titled "TheTortured Audience Patients."

I'm surprised the Goat Doctor of Milford, Ks. was'nt included on the list. He was transplanting goat scrotum's for men who wanted to be vigorous again. Early 1900’s, I think.
Many of our early laws against malpractice are a result of his "work".>
