There is a magical reality that at 202 1, if people accidentally see an anal plug, they will frown, don't look away, and shout "Ah! What a pervert! " ; At 1900, if people see an anal plug, they will sincerely praise it, "Ah! This is as great an invention as aspirin! "
This is not because people's ideas are retrogressive, but because anal plug is not a fun prop from the origin, but a serious medical device.
1900 anal plug poster
/kloc-in the late 9th century, due to the breakthrough of micro-world observation technology, medical technology began to show rapid progress, and smallpox was conquered by human beings in 1804. 1837, human beings first observed cells; From 65438 to 0899, the most widely used painkiller "aspirin" was developed.
Hundreds of incurable diseases that people get and die have become as easy as a cold, which makes everyone full of confidence in conquering all diseases. At that time, people generally thought that human beings would open plug-ins and soon no one would get sick again.
In Cytopathology published by 1858, the famous cytologist Virchow once asserted that "all diseases are pathological changes of cells, and we have clearly observed that it is just around the corner to conquer them."
Under the background that a disease is declared conquered every three to five days, Francci. Dr. Yang, a doctor of gastroenterology from the United States, followed the trend and announced in 1893 that he had conquered "insanity".
In a paper in Medical News, Dr. Yang announced that "three quarters of mental patients in the world can be cured by inserting a special rectal dilator into the anus".
It sounds strange that a gastroenterologist conquered a mental illness. What's more strange is that head diseases can be cured through anus, which makes people wonder whether the patient's head grows in anus or Dr. Yang is deliberately satirizing our IQ.
As soon as this paper came out, it was criticized by Krafft-Ebing,Baron Richard von, a sexual psychiatrist (readers who often read my articles should have an impression of this name, and he was the first doctor to name sm after Sade and Massock).
He wrote an article pointing out all kinds of loopholes and asked Dr. Yang in a friendly way: "This strange idea of yours is obviously a bit insane. Why don't you use it on yourself first?"
Dr. Yang got off to a bad start. He learned from a bitter experience and decided to seek development and fame in his famous field-gastroenterology.
He improved his rectal dilator, made exquisite packaging for them, and then designed four sizes from small to large, ranging from 0.5 inch to 4 inch.
They were all black and made of hard rubber, which was very expensive at that time. Their heads are streamlined and bullet-shaped so that they can enter the anus more smoothly. The tail is raised to prevent cutting into the intestine. The whole structure can just be grasped by the sphincter, and the through path left in the middle is used for exhaust.
In Dr. Yang's time, there was no operation to treat hemorrhoids, and almost all urban white-collar workers were troubled by this ulterior secret. So Dr. Yang made a precise cut through this pain point and became famous through people's infinite expectations for medical technology at that time.
1905, Dr. Yang spent a lot of money to buy a page of Detroit Medical Journal to advertise his products.

He named his product "Dr. Yang's Anal Plug", claiming that it can exercise sphincter, relieve the symptoms of hemorrhoids within a few weeks, and finally cure hemorrhoids, and can also treat intestinal diseases such as constipation and diarrhea.
"Dr. Yang's anal obstruction"
Obviously, Dr. Yang is the originator of TV shopping, and he knows well the herd effect and herd mentality of consumers. For publicity, he found the patient's personal statement at the end of 19 and published it in the newspaper.
"I almost fainted when I first saw it, but I can't live without it now. Really saved me. "
"First heat the anal plug with warm water, then apply vaseline for lubrication, then kneel down, or lie comfortably on your side and gently insert it into the rectum. Originally, hemorrhoids were very serious. Now I put them in for about half an hour every day, and there are no symptoms. "
"Originally, I have severe constipation. The doctor gave me these anal plugs to get used to and put on bigger ones. When I switched to the third one, hey! I was surprised to find that my constipation was cured! "
"It saved me from chronic intestinal diseases. I think it is as great as aspirin! "
At the end of the advertisement, Dr. Yang came out to sum up, "No matter how good the treatment is, it is also lagging behind. For the sake of prevention, I think every adult should have a set of anal suppository and wear it for about half an hour every day. "
This leek is cut and tearful.
Seeing these advertising copies, I deeply and strongly suspect that the current anchor delivery is not a technological innovation at all, but just a tribute to history.
Some medical theories behind Dr. Yang's anal obstruction were reasonable, so the reputation of its patients was good at that time. At that time, a basic set of "Dr. Yang" cost 2.5 dollars, which is about 70 dollars today.
But then some rich people wanted more expensive materials and a more comfortable wearing experience. For example, the new york Museum has a set of customized "Dr. Yang's anal plug" made of ebony. At that time, its owner spent $65,438+00,000 to buy it, which is about a villa in the suburb of new york today.
An antique anal plug worth $10 thousand
It doesn't seem so magical to treat the head through anus at the thought that some people may have a suite in their ass.
Dr. Yang is absolutely successful in anorectal field. Believe it or not, hemorrhoids suppository of 202 1 still retains the classic design of Dr. Yang's anal suppository, which can be said to be popular and never out of date.
But after Dr. Yang succeeded, he quickly recovered from the scar, forgot the pain and began to point to other fields, claiming that his anal plug could treat insomnia, heart disease, oral ulcer and so on.
Reasonable, I can tolerate the rest, but anal plug is used to treat oral ulcers? Will it be put in your mouth after wearing it? I'm sorry. I feel insulted.
1940, the FDA of the US Food and Drug Administration finally couldn't sit still. It seized all medical anal plugs circulating in the market and destroyed them on the grounds that "false propaganda and continuous use at the frequency or duration specified and recommended in the manual will be harmful to health".
A court decision entitled "USV.67 setsofdr" on the destruction of anal plugs. Young certified public accountant and 83 doctors. Youngspilotation”。
But the story doesn't end here.
Strange things happened after the anal plug was destroyed and banned from sale. Although it is not available in the market, it is very popular in the underground market.
Businessman GeorgeStarrWhite found that many people are buying this kind of thing, but it is not to treat diseases, but as a way to stimulate the prostate to get pleasure and apply it to sexual life.
His keen sense of smell made him smell business opportunities, and he began to secretly sell them by wholesale and mail, and advertised on the back cover of pornographic magazines and packaged them into a sex toy.
At 1962, it was the year when anal plug became famous as a sex prop. This year, the world's first physical merchandise store opened in Germany, and the boss was retired female pilot BeateUhse.
She is not only a pilot, but also a very aesthetic pilot.
She got a headache when she saw that her shop was full of black, straight and thick anal plugs.
It's so ugly that I don't want to put it in my shop.
So she began to design a series of brand-new shapes, colors and materials for anal plugs. With the cost of silicone material getting lower and lower, many of her imaginative designs gradually became a reality at that time and began to be sold all over the world.
Anal plugs of various shapes
Now, with the maturity of 3D printing technology, anal plug has become more affordable and diversified, and has become a common prop in BDSM scenes. The combination of anal plug and tail, the breakthrough of metal and latex fetishism, the humiliation of body invasion, etc. , all give the anal plug itself more meaning.
Looking back on19th century, we will find that it is not only anal plugs, but also many common sex toys evolved from medical devices, such as corsets, latex gloves, oral fixators and so on. If you are willing to put down your colored glasses, you will find that their own historical stories are very colorful.
There is nothing inherently abnormal or shameful. Maybe our shy eyes on them will only become a footnote in their wonderful stories after hundreds of years.
Professional tutor WeChat: xllx577Tips Tips: Anal plug should not be worn for a long time.
