"A Democratic lawmaker in Texas has proposed legislation that would fine men $100 for masturbating and require rectal exams before they get a vasectomy, a colonoscopy or a Viagra prescription.
State Rep. Jessica Farrar, of Houston, called her bill satirical, but said it was meant to highlight the struggles women faced while accessing health care under the restrictive reproductive laws pushed by the states GOP-led legislature.
Her bill promotes similarly invasive restrictions on men, including the fine for emissions outside a womans vagina which will be considered an act against an unborn child, and failing to preserve the sanctity of life.

(28,979 posts)A literal cold shower, patented by Frank Orth in 1893. It required the donning of waterproof pants, and then the organ was place between two levers, so that should stiffening occur, the levers were spread which caused a flow of cold water to hit the hot spot. Said Orth: The cold water cools the organ of generation, so that the erection subsides and no discharge occurs.
Challenge accepted.

Another significant argument for jettisoning unfair sexist legislation!
