We\u2019re not talking about the scary metal undies we associate with medieval times. Instead, we\u2019re going to take a look at what a modern chastity belt is and the basics you should know before you invest your time and money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s dive in\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

1. THE FUNCTION OF MODERN BELTS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

CONTROL <\/strong><\/span>\u2013 In many BDSM practices there is a power exchange \u2013 with one person consensually taking control and the other consensually giving up their power. The one who holds the key is the one with the power to regulate their partner\u2019s pleasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TEASE & DENIAL<\/span> <\/strong>\u2013 As for pleasure, if someone doesn\u2019t want to get into hardcore BDSM, there\u2019s the simple act of preventing masturbation and therefore sexual gratification. Imagine making your man wear a cock cage all day and sending him naughty messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HUMILIATION & TORTURE<\/span> <\/strong>\u2013 If you had to wear one of these for weeks, months … or longer, wouldn\u2019t that be considered torture? You can also bet that when you take it off, it will be some of the best sex of your life. Many of these elements also add a level of erotic humiliation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AROUSAL & EROTICISM<\/span> <\/strong>\u2013 It can be the simple feeling of the metal or leather against your skin, or the deliciously naughty secret when you wear it under your clothing at work or out with friends. Even the sexual frustration can be as pleasurable as the act of sex itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BDSM GAMES<\/span> <\/strong>\u2013 All of the examples above can be combined into BDSM games \u2013 for things like controlling actions or behaviors, maintaining rules, training a submissive, giving rewards etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FOR EXAMPLE:<\/strong><\/span> Lock one of these on your husband, and he doesn\u2019t get to take it off until his chores are done \u2013 I bet the house would be spotless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. KINDS OF BELTS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The basic design of the female belt is pretty much the same<\/strong> across most models and brands \u2013 a belt with a U-shaped strap that goes between the legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Occasionally, you\u2019ll see some with extra straps that go around the legs. Some will have a wider section around the butt as well (to prevent anal stimulation).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Male designs are also straightforward<\/strong>, with some tweaks to fit whatever the wearer or Dominant is looking for. There will be a ring that goes around the scrotum and penis, with some arrangement of metal loops or molded tubes\/cases that can be locked into place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might also find designs that are more in the way of \u201cplates\u201d that compress the gentiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOTE: <\/strong><\/span>Most chastity devices will come with a lock and key. Although some might not and only have a belt-like loop attachment. These are more aimed at people who want the feeling of a c-device but without the controlling nature of a lock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

3. PROPER FITTING<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important that<\/strong> the device fits properly<\/u>, especially for men<\/strong>. There should be no excess<\/em> friction that rubs the skin raw (although some<\/em> minor chaffing is common). There also should not be any pressure that restricts blood flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

REMEMBER:<\/strong> <\/span>These toys are not to be confused with Cock & Ball Torture. They should be snug but (relatively) comfortable to wear. <\/strong>Any discomfort should come from sexual tension and withdrawal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

4. MATERIALS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

You should be aiming for 100% silicone, stainless steel, titanium, polycarbonate,<\/strong> or ABS plastic<\/strong> (or a combination). All of these are body-safe and easy to clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for leather<\/strong>, there are plenty of belt makers and kink lovers that adore this material (it looks gorgeous after all). However, it\u2019s important to keep in mind that leather is porous, high maintenance, and impossible to sterilize<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

I\u2019m not saying you shouldn\u2019t buy it, I\u2019m just saying you have to be extra<\/em> careful with care and cleaning. They also are not appropriate for long-term use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, make sure that any adornments are also made from body-safe materials and that any promises of stainless steel are real (and not just plated or cut with nickel).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
