I found the following delightful paragraph while performing various idle-minded searches for “erection inferno” and “patriotic child-woody.”

“In 1943, one research group interviewed 291 boys to find out what it was that gave them erections. The boys dutifully provided an exhaustive list. It included, among other highlights, sitting in class, sitting in church, sitting in warm sand, and setting a field on fire. The national anthem was also responsible for a few erections.” -- Everything You Never Wanted Your Kids to Know About Sex

Could yesteryear be any filthier? As L.P. Hartley once said, “The past is a sexy country; inhabited by powdered wigs, the Messiah, cavemen making love to passenger pigeons under smallpox blankets, and classrooms full of children with allegiant boners. Its citizens never die, they merely descend into the fudgy earth and make new wangs of daisies.”
