Chastity belts?

Here ya go.

Welcome to Fluther.

What an amazing first question!

To answer: As the Wikipedia article states, and many other places have confirmed, chastity belts as portrayed in many Medieval accounts and drawings were never in widespread use.

The treatment for UTI’s before antibiotics was herbs, blood letting and rest of which probably only the rest made any difference as UTI’s usually resolve in about 5 days with no treatment.

Wow @gailcalled ‘s link. I am now fully educated on the chastity belt. haha

To say I’ve had an interesting life is an understatement. A doctor and a journalist couple in NYC once took me to a bondage club in the Village. There, I met a young man whose Mistress had given him permission to remove his chastity belt for the night. Watching him contort to undo the locks was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen live.

The whole night was like that. There was one scene involving a Mistress and three Hassidic Jews that I will put into a movie some day.

I am completely cool with people practicing such things. However, like Dorothy, I was so not in Kansas anymore. Put me off sex for several weeks.
