What is a chastity device?

Answer 1

Broadly, a chastity device is any contraption meant to prevent the wearer from indulging in sexual intercourse.

The use of chastity devices by both sexes dates back centuries. Historically the majority of them were for females in eras when women were subjugated to the point where they and their sexuality was seen as the "property" of their partner. In the modern world that has reversed as chastity devices have come to be used in BDSM and denial fetish play. Such fetish usage biases heavily toward male chastity devices which are designed no only to prevent intercourse, but usually to prevent ejaculation/orgasm and sometimes to thwart erections altogether.


There are a large number of designs for fetish play available on the internet and in adult stores, with varying deliberate degrees of comfort or discomfort, depending on your preference. Some are designed (as chastity devices traditionally were) for long-term use while others are meant only as a prop for lovemaking and are not safe or hygienic for extend wearing.
