10 Fun Facts You Didn't Know About Masturbation

Half Way Bonus Fact

Ever wondered the story behind how one of your favourite cereals was invented? John Kellog invented Corn Flakes to try to prevent people from pleasuring themselves. He believed that masturbating was harmful to the body and to a person's psychological state, and thusly created the blandest food he could think of in order to put people off masturbating. Mr Kellog was a zealous anti-masturbation campaigner, but he was also extremely anti-sex; he never consummated his marriage with his wife. He also insisted that they slept in separate rooms and even went as far as adopting his children in order to avoid having sex.
