I think no one was thinking about politics or today's society, in fact, I don't think a state should get involved in that.
Even today, some people would vote against their conscience believing that it is the right thing to do.
I also don't think a belt is a good idea for each and every one of us.
What I disagree with you is that nothing would happen to avoid masturbation. What's more, and following the game of this conservative society a bit, even if you want to put it to the vote, it would be enough to raise the age necessary to vote.
