Sawbones: A Marital Tour of Misguided Medicine

Sawbones: The Ejaculation Panic

Episode Summary

In the 1800s, there was a growing concern about spermatorrhea, a condition that involves involuntary and excessive semen leakage or discharge. Some doctors (and people who claimed to be doctors) were quick to come up with some truly terrifying solutions . . . except that it was largely a panic and not really happening at all.
