Fish-Like Genitals

On Friday, pictures of Harvey Weinstein’s genitalia were shown to the jury in his Los Angeles sex crimes trial.

The pictures were remembered for an envelope of other photographs and reports introduced to the 12-part jury in a confidential room at Los Angeles Predominant Court.

In Weinstein’s trial for 11 counts of rape and sexual assault against five women between 2003 and 2014, the collection of documents was included as an exhibit.

The private parts of the convicted pervert are the focus of Weinstein’s most recent trial.

According to prosecutors, the disgraced film producer had surgery in 1999 to treat Fournier’s Gangrene, which left him with scarring and changes in his genitalia. Specialists eliminated a portion of Weinstein’s scrotum and put them into his thighs.

Deputy District Attorney Paul Thompson stated on Monday that that surgery left pretty obvious scars, which you can see in the pictures.

A Dirty Dancing 2 actress testified that Weinstein masturbated on her face in 2003 while his assistant waited outside a hotel room after demanding she give him a naked massage. The images were shown just one day later.

The 22-year-old woman claimed that Weinstein pushed her onto the bed, but she never saw his genitalia.

A recently surfaced 1864 letter provides a glimpse into a little-discussed affliction among Civil War soldiers – chronic masturbation.

The handwritten note by Confederate Lt. William Dandridge Pitts inquires about the condition of his brother Charles, who was discharged from the army in 1862 due to an unspecified “illness.” Charles was residing at the Western Lunatic Asylum in Virginia.

According to Charles’ doctor and accounts from fellow soldiers, his illness was a relentless addiction to masturbation. “I have had some conversation with the physician who attended my brother previous to his going to the asylum,” Lt. Pitts wrote, “and he advises me…that [Charles] was addicted to masturbation, while in camp.”

The letter highlights the mental health toll of the war, even before combat began. Soldiers forced to endure their comrades’ “self-pollution” no doubt developed deep psychological scars.

While masturbation remained taboo in the Victorian era, it was pervasive enough in the military to earn the nickname “Johnny Reb.” The irony of this affliction among troops from Virginia, the “state for lovers,” was surely not lost on the Pitts family.

The letter survives in excellent condition despite its delicate subject matter. This “director’s cut” offers intimate insight into secret struggles in Civil War ranks.
