*giggles* Found a link with old health posters...

[conuly]

I mean old. I'm especially amused by this one, which gives instructions for bathing. Notice that you spend more time toweling off than cleaning yourself.

The collection is here.

Edit: This poster has a sweet foray into gender-neutral language. A child called it indeed.

Edit again: And one on masturbation, which we find is selfish, childish, and stupid, even though even they admit it can't really hurt you. Probably.

Edit the third: Here's one on chance acquaintances. Whether or not it's necessary to "indulge the sex desire", I know some people on my friends list who would like more chances to do just that....

'nother edit: This one is still very relevant, of course.

I'm doing it wrong. I don't have a sensation of warmth when I transition from the warm bath or shower to the cooler air. I also don't get a sensation of well-being after a shower. It's much more a sensation of being exhausted, weak, and needing to catch my breath.

Sorry, ducky. Do you remember to towel down for four full minutes after each bath/shower?

You may wish to combine showering with self-abuse.

Someone seriously needs to post that bathing poster in the dorms at my school. Especially the male dorms. These people stink to high heaven.

Go ask them for permission. The site, not the dorm.

Back in the 1800s (I don't know how long this continued) there were harnesses manufactured for children to wear to bed to prevent "self-abuse."

That's why circumcision in the US is so popular, isn't it?

From a post WW-II perspective, the racism and eugenics angle is disturbing. The outright promotion of the madonna-whore complex is to be expected, but rather obnoxious.

Yeah, I know. But I'm having a good laugh anyway and trying to convince myself that "we are much more civilized now".

You couldn't *possibly* be including me in this. Oh no, never.. :P

[conuly]

Pretty much entirely you, actually. Your post on your date reminded me.

>> A pleasant reaction, a sensation of warmth and a feeling of general well-being should always follow a bath.

Yep. And if you don't, you must be doing something wrong. Told you so.

lots of good fun and wholesome companions

Oh yes. This is what English boarding schools pride themselves on... need I go on?

These are AMERICAN ads. We don't have no hoomoos here, no sirree!

Anyway... how does wearing red protect one against venarial disease?

Oh wow, I recently kick-started my attempts to find this collection, after viewing it once...

Thank you!
