Corn starch is good for keeping down the urges. Science says so. Recommend.

      well it’s also true for cornflakes. They have a weird creepy history because the creator of them was against things like masturbation, and he suggested eating cornflakes would help.

      But I believe OP was probably referring to a simpsons episode. The flanders are playing pictionary where Flanders draws cornstarch on the poster, and his wife gets the answer correct. I wasn’t alive when this episode came out but probably the writers were making a joke about cornflakes by using cornstarch, but that’s jst my guess.

        I still wonder how the dude thought cornflakes made you not want to whack it, and how so many actually believed him (then again, [gestures broadly] maybe not).

          Kellog also married, never had sex with his wife or consummated their marriage, and the pair adopted like 30 kids or something like that.

          So clearly, corn flakes works. But ideally, corn starch is the way to keep those urges down.

          Keep them down, dude. “Conceal, don’t feel” as Elsa from Frozen would say (and seriously, do not feel because that specifically strengthens urges).
