@petra Probably not as many as you think. It would've been way harder to masturbate back then. Between that and people not being able to have sex as freely or safely, there was reduced rate of orgasms all around which probably accounted for some of the horrid behaviour people displayed back then. Ignorance and injustice were probably the bigger contributors to that, but there's no way a bunch of rapes and murders were being committed at any given moment just because of blue balls.
