| Jan 10, 2016 at 2:46 | comment | added | shoover | This isn't it, but I found a book by E.E. Kellett called A Corner in Sleep: And Other Possibilities (1900) with a story called "Pleasure and Pain". Story: Dr. John Williams invents a device that measures pleasure and pain and uses it on his own family while giving them treats for pleasure and emotionally abusing them to measure their pain. He also physically abuses the dog to measure its pain. However, there is no description of the device looking like an organ, and no mention of corncobs. | |

Adding some newly remembered details.

| Jul 14, 2014 at 14:45 | comment | added | FuzzyBoots | @Einer: It is also possible that I'm misremembering exact descriptions, but yeah... it's one of the reasons the story had stuck in my head all of these years (I believe I read it over 20 years ago). | |
| Jul 14, 2014 at 14:43 | comment | added | Einer | So actually a scientist sat down and invented a punishment machine: "Well than", he said, "What do we need? Whip across back - classic, slap in the face - must-have ... ah: punch in the stomach (that never grows old)... and, oh: lets not forget: The good old corncob in the anus!" And how did he perform tests, if he got the sensation right? And above all: Who financed that kind of research!? | |
