Chastity

by Mistress Michelle Peters

Q: What is a chastity belt?
Broadly defined, it is any locking appliance that prevents the wearer engaging in sexual intercourse. I've seen some buckling leather straps and shorts that purport to be chastity belts, but without a lock you may as well define button fly jeans as a chastity belt.

Q: How much do they cost?
That depends on what kind you want. You can spend anywhere from $50 for a very simple leather one to $400 and up for a top of the line high security model.

Q: In the messages several belts were discussed - which company would you say produce the most durable, solid and most effective belts?
Definitely the La Ceinture de Chastete or Access Denied belts for being durable and solid. I'm hard-pressed to think of anything more durable than steel. As for effective, anything that keeps the wearer in and/or someone else out could be considered effective.

Q: How long will it take from the order to receive the belt?
Mine took six months. I've heard that's about the standard time. Each one of these is custom made to precise measurements for just one person. Check with the maker, some delivery promises are much quicker.

Q: Is it visible at all under normal clothing?
It depends on how tight your normal clothes are. There is a definite bulge at the crotch, but in loose fit Wranglers (tm) I've had no trouble.

Q: I can't imagine exactly how they look.
First you have the waist band; this rests in the narrow point below the bottom of your ribcage and above your hips. It is a solid band that flexes enough to be able to get in and out of it. There are three pins at the front of the belt and the waist belt closes over these pins. The groin plate attaches at these pins and is held there by a lock which fits over two of the three pins. These extra pins prevent the groin shield from being able to swivel.

The groin shield terminates in two flat chains which split in a V, leaving the anus clear for defecation. The chains go up over the cheeks and are permanently fastened at the back of the waist band. Inside the groin shield is a sheath; a steel tube that the penis rests inside. The sheath locks to the groin shield with the same kind of lock that secures the waist band.

The female belt is the same except there is, obviously, no penis sheath. Instead there is a slit, which lines up with the labia lips.

Q: As those belts are designed individually, is it to measure?
Dressing for Pleasure, Access Denied and Neosteel have a measuring form with very precise notes describing in each case exactly what you are measuring and how to do it. You cannot take your own measurements; someone else must do them for you. Make sure the measurements are accurate. Double check everything. If you screw up the measurements they'll charge you extra to fix it and you'll end up waiting even longer for your belt.

Q: Are they really safe? Wouldn't it be possible to cut them off with normal tools?
It is impossible to engage in regular intercourse while wearing one of these. As for getting relief in these, accounts vary. Some men report that they are able to achieve what amounts to an orgasm without ejaculation. I've personally never had any luck getting satisfaction while wearing mine. The female account I have reports that it is possible to get a finger or two behind the shield for manual stimulation.

The lock rests behind a steel flange. There is no way to get to the lock to cut it off. The waist band is 1.25 inch 16 SWG steel. Even if you could get a tin snips in there, I can't believe they could cut it. The only hope I see would be to attack the attaching rivets, but taking the heads off those with standard tools could be hazardous to your health. Remember, this thing rests tight against your skin. The best you're likely to accomplish is to make a sharp edge where you'll cut yourself, or to slip and stab yourself. No, unless you've got a machine shop and someone who knows what they're doing, I wouldn't try it.

The short answer, if you don't have a key you can't get out.

Q: Is it okay to shower in, or will the lock get rusty?
In their literature, the manufacturer claims you can shower in it. I asked the same question of the people at Selective and was told there had been no problems reported. The locks are brass. I've been known to use a lock deicer spray, since it lubricates and drives moisture out. I'm told a hairdryer works well for drying things out as well.

Q: Is it bearable for long terms?
It is designed with long term wear in mind. The longest I've personally worn mine is three days. The people at Selective told me the known record is nine months. Unfortunately, no chastity device is 100% perfect or absolutely comfortable, but this one is very good. It takes some practice to wear for longer periods, but once you get used to wearing it, sitting, moving around, etc., it is quite tolerable. B&B have told me that he wears his almost constantly. The main drawback seems to be trying to find a swimsuit that hides it effectively.

Q: Is hygiene a problem?
Urination requires a handful of toilet paper to sop the drops from the inside and outside bottom end of the groin shield. I once made the mistake of leaning forward while defecating and the ring at the tip of the shield (which the cheek chains attach to) caught the stool as it was coming out and scraped a groove in it. The mess wasn't too bad, but what a smell! Tollyboy recommends the use of a bidet for one of their models. It's also a good idea to dry thoroughly after showering. It's easy enough for water to be trapped between belt and skin. Again, a hairdryer may come in helpful here.

Q: Will you have any trouble with metal detectors at airports?
Absolutely. You'll set them off. I saw a post from one fellow who simply told the security people he was wearing a chastity belt. He got through without much trouble. One fellow I spoke with actually started to show them his belt and was waved through very quickly. Others haven't been quite so lucky. B&B report that both of them have had a trip to a private room for a visual inspection and explanations.

Q: How can I get one?
When friends ask me what kind of computer they should buy, I tell them to first figure out what they're going to want to do with it. To carry the analogy to chastity belts, how are you going to want to use this belt? Is this something you're going to wear only as part of a scene? How important is security? Is the keyholder going to be present? Do you need to be able to use the bathroom without unlocking it? The shower?

Low Security - Inexpensive

If you're determined and have a sharp knife, these won't keep you in, but they will make tampering obvious. Bathroom functions are generally impossible or difficult in these. If you're looking for something to lock on over a pair of jeans, try Chastity, USA. They make several styles of chastity belts for women and men. Basically, they're just a leather shield with straps in the back. Some fasten with locking tabs, like on a suitcase, and some use mini padlocks, also suitcase issue. They're fairly minimal in security, but they are nice looking and pretty reasonable. Prices vary from $50 to $70.

Also in the low security, but inexpensive line is Water Hole. Last I checked, the price range was about the same as Chastity, USA and you can supposedly urinate in the male version of their chastity device, assuming you've got good enough aim to hit a small hole and don't go too quickly. Personally, I'd be hesitant to try urinating in it; you could easily end up getting good and damp.

Mid Range

If you're looking for something with a little more security and that black leather SM sort of look and feel to it, try Fetters/Mr. S of San Francisco. They market mainly toward the gay male, but I know they used to advertise chastity belts for women as well.

I expect that if asked they would gladly accept a custom order. I bought one from them a few years back. Expect to pay anywhere from $100 up (and prices have doubtless risen since then). Although these are sharp looking, more secure and meant to be worn against the skin, they do share a problem with their cheaper cousin; you can't perform bathroom functions in them. (They used to sell a drainage sheath, basically a condom with a hose on the end, that was supposed to let you urinate while wearing a belt, but it never worked for me.

All it ever got me was a belt full of urine.) This means the key needs to be handy. I've seen their new product, the cock cuff (a bent piece of pipe welded to a handcuff) and I can't help but think that it'll probably slip off when you go flaccid. Also, I can't see how it could be worn under clothing. Consider most of these as in-home or in-dungeon toys only.

High Security - Expensive

The most secure (and most expensive) alternative is a stainless steel chastity belt from La Ceinture de Chastete (William Jones) or Access Denied, or Walter Goethals of Belgium. These are the finest examples of chastity belts I've encountered so far. Meant to be worn against the skin, they're lined in neoprene to prevent chaffing. They employ specialized high security locks that cannot be cut off. The manufacturer claims that it would take engineering facilities and assistance to cut one off. They're about as secure as you can get today. Since each one is custom made, delivery time is six months. Cost for a basic male chastity belt is $400. Cost of the basic female chastity belt is $300. The optional secondary front shield for the female version kicks the price up to $360.
