How did the myth about masterbating giving you hairy palms begin?
Now…where’s my razor…
It was actually Harold Palms, not Harry Palms… got distorted over the years.
Based on fact, I imagine.
When is the pubic hair most likely to shed ?
My guess is it was NOT based on fact, but something to scare little boys (and girls, I guess) from the sinful act.
The myth-maker(s) picked a sympton that would be easily seen by the children’s peers, so they would fear persecution. “Frankie has hairy palms! We know what HE does!”
Must chime in with Revtim. Look at all of our ape like cousins, they’ve got hair everywhere but palms and the sole of the feet.

Hey! That would make a great sig line, don’t ya think?
Yep, Father Murphy started it. (The myth, that is. :D)
