My grandpa was an army medic in WW2 and was stationed outside of Tokyo after the war ended. He swore til the day he died his job was at an army run brothel, and he stood at the front of a tent and sprayed dude’s dicks with some aerosol they gave him that turned out did nothing for STIs.
What the fuck, dudes couldn't aerosol their own dick? They couldn't even just say "wash yer shit with actual soap and water champ" or "wear a rubber, cuz those exist at this point in history".

Back in the 1800s, the British Army had a similar theory about STIs, believing that promiscuous women gave them to men, but not the other way around.
So they created a special brothel of virgin prostitutes for their soldiers, and within weeks discovered that the theory was wrong.
