Asst. misogyny and indication of sexual obsession attributed to Hubbard:
"It doesn't give me displeasure to hear of a virgin being raped. The lot of women is to be fornicated."
"In 1942 - December 17th or thereabouts - while training in Miami, Florida, I met a girl named Ginger who excited me. She was a very loose person but pretended a great love for me. From her I received an infection of gonnohorea (sp?). "
"I have a very bad masturbatory history. I was taught when I was 11 and, despite guilt, fear of insanity, etc. etc. I persisted. At a physical examination at a Y when I was about 13, the examiner and the people with him called me out of the line because my testicles hung low and cautioned me about what would happen if I kept on masturbating. This "discovery" was a bad shock to me. " "Affirmations", 1947

From an interview with Hubbard's own son Ron Jr. in the public domain essay entitled Hollywood, Satanism, Scientology and Suicide:
"In my father's private circle," Ron Jr. explains, "there were lots of mistresses. When I was younger, I participated in private orgies with him and three or four other women. His theory was that one has to open or crack a woman's soul in order for the satanic power to pour through it and into him. It got kind of far out, culminating in a variety of sex acts. Dad also had an incredibly violent temper. He was into S&M and would beat his mistresses and shoot them full of drugs."
When asked by an interviewer how this "soul-cracking" worked, L. Ron Hubbard, Jr. said, "The explanation is sort of long and complicated.
The basic rationale is that there are some powers in this universe that are pretty strong.
"As an example, Hitler was involved in the same black magic and the same occult practices that my father was. The identical ones. Which, as I have said, stem clear back to before Egyptian times. It's a very secret thing. Very powerful and very workable and very dangerous.
"Brainwashing is nothing compared to it. The proper term would be 'soul cracking.' "It's like cracking open the soul, which then opens various doors to the power that exists, the satanic and demonic powers. Simply put, it's like a tunnel or an avenue or a doorway. Pulling that power into yourself through another person and using women, especially is incredibly insidious.
"It makes Dr. Fu Manchu look like a kindergarten student. It is the ultimate vampirism, the ultimate mind fuck. Instead of going for blood, you're going for their soul. And you take drugs in order to reach that state where you can, quite literally, like a psychic hammer, break their soul, and pull the power through."

Sounds to me like L. Ron's limpdick exercise might have been a kind of Crowley inspired tantric sex working. On the other hand, it is also a kind of exercise a sex therapist might recommend to an impotent client. Perhaps L. Ron preferred men.
It happens, you know.
Cheers!
