"No, he was crazy and its a tradition where men who don't want to be aroused can't be."

I'm sorry, maybe I'm naive, or a little dense, but I still don't get it. There people in the world who clothes pin their little friend because they don't want to be aroused? Is it because they have some sort of natural viagara thing going on? They get aroused too easily, and so they have to pin it down? Or, is it because they don't want to get aroused, period? Some sort of psychological thing? Getting aroused is immoral and so they pin it down? Lastly, does it have anything to do with sexual orientation?

Can someone elaborate?

All right, I finally found some info. If anyone else is baffled and would like to satisfy your curiosity, here's a thread with lots of info from reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/112263Hulu/comments/49b9u0/clothespin/

I can't quite wrap my mind around it either. I've read the Reddit thread, and there are a number of different theories. These are my top theories:
1. Child sexual abuse manifested into a pain fetish, and he needed it for psychosexual reasons, to get an erection.
2. He had ED, and used it as a sort of cock ring.
3. When his Grandmother used to bathe him, even as he hit adolescence, she shamed him for getting erections in the bath, and used a clothespin to stifle it / punish him. As an adult, it has become a connection in his mind, that a clothespin is needed with impure thoughts (or something like that).

Whatever the reason, I disregard the theories surrounding the supposition that it was actually a safety pin. They were talking about a clothes pin.

If someone has a definitive answer, I'd love to know.

Many of Kings storys have a subplot of child sexual abuse in it.\
He uses it so much it makes you wonder about his childhood.

I thought he suffered from a form of OCD similar but worse than Felix (cleanliness) Unger from the Odd Couple. With that in mind, I assumed that the clothespin was used to, more or less, close off his urinary meatus so that he wouldn't dribble into his underwear, say in case of an accident after routinely urinating. This was obviously something that he may have been taught or something he may have devised to resolve a childhood trauma suffered under his grandmother's tutelage. Does that make sense?
