Document Summary
It"s a fundamental aspect of being a living organism. A lot of people are embarrassed about sexuality. Even though everybody enjoys it, culture says we"re not supposed to do it. Kellogg said that sex was morally disgusting, and you shouldn"t enjoy it. He said it was specifically for making babies, and masturbation was evil. He had a clinic where he would treat people for their interest in sex. He would put acid on the clitoris, and did all kinds of horrifying things to men"s penises. Dr. kellogg thought that the pain caused by circumcision would lead men to no longer want sex he would do it while the men are adults, and not give them medication to reduce pain. He would prescribe people a plain, healthy diet, involving 2 meals a day. No spicy food, just corn and cereal and things.
