I wouldn't be surprised if food has something to do with it.

I left my son as he was.  Back in the '30s (and maybe at other times) they 
thought it was very bad for girls to masturbate and they would actually 
sometimes do surgery to remove the clitoris (called clitoridectomy or 
clitorectomy).  One reason I know about this is that it was written about 
in a book about the Genain Quadruplets, four genetically-identical girls 
who all had it done.  All four grew up to have schizophrenia.  I don't 
know if clitoridectomy can cause schizophrenia, and I doubt that it can, 
but it probably doesn't help any!  Something about this is mentioned here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genain_quadruplets

They call it "female circumcision" in the article, but it did involve 
clitoridectomy.  I have the Rosenthal book.

It's strange that things went in a strong anti-masturbation direction 
during that time.  Consider this (doctors used to give women orgasms at 
the turn of the century):

Few people ever admit they were wrong.  They just die and are replaced.
