    Probably that, too.

    The thing is about 20 years ago I toured a preserved colonial town in New England (I forget the name, it was in Virginia) and there was a book on display which was an inpatient log for a mental ward. And some of the entries’ reason for admission was “masterbation”.

        Good question, not sure. I don’t even remember what was nearby.

        looks at some pictures

        Could be, but then all English towns looked the same back then. I don’t remember any buildings quite that big though.
