Discover 'The Secret Vice: Masturbation in Victorian Fiction and Medical Culture,' a groundbreaking scholarly work that delves into the complex discourse surrounding masturbation during the long nineteenth century. This important book examines the medical writings of prominent English, Continental, and American practitioners, exploring how their views influenced Victorian literature and culture. Renowned authors like Bram Stoker, J. S. Le Fanu, Charles Dickens, and Oscar Wilde drew from these controversial discussions, shaping iconic characters and narratives that reflected societal attitudes toward self-abuse.

This compelling analysis also highlights the largely overlooked literature surrounding female orgasm and self-pleasure, providing insights from both clinical studies and popular medical texts aimed at women. With a focus on the evolution of these attitudes, Mason's work serves as a vital resource for understanding the historical context of sexuality and medicine. The examination extends into modern narratives, showing how the Victorian discourse on masturbation persists in contemporary works, such as Willy Russell’s acclaimed novel, 'The Wrong Boy' (2000), and the character of 'Victorian Dad' in the popular adult comic, Viz. This book is essential for anyone interested in Victorian literature, medical history, or gender studies, offering a comprehensive look at the intertwining of fiction and medical culture.

Perfect toy for an active dog!
Color: Large size (7.9")
My dog absolutely loves this ball with handles! It’s quickly become one of his favorite toys, and he gets excited every time we bring it out to play. The vibrant colors are a huge plus—they make it super easy to spot in the grass, which saves a lot of time during outdoor play sessions. The handles are great for interactive play too, especially for tugging and tossing. I’m really impressed with how well it’s holding up. Even with constant pulling, tugging, and rough use, it’s remained durable and hasn’t shown any signs of wearing out. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase—and if my dog could write reviews, it would definitely get his paw stamp of approval! 🐾

Great idea poor construction
Color: Large size (7.9"), Color: Large size (7.9")
Great for a dog that likes tug and fetch but the seams are not strong so it ripped fast not from tug but my dogs teeth. I sewed it once since we loved playing with it but it didnt last. Other seams opened. The seams opened in the ball part not by the handles. Less seams and stronger ones would make it 5 star. Im trying a different brand.
