~ chastity belt ~
A deathless device, with no
documentary evidence, only known by myth. The fable will have it
that they served to ensure the fidelity of wives during long
absences of husbands, particularly of the wives of knights or
crusaders. Some women also used this for protection against rape
while their husbands were away from them. Today the belt is used
mainly for sexual pleasure. If you were to check out any BDSM
site, you'd more than likely see this device being used.

Thus a question arises: is or is not the chastity belt a torture instrument? And the answer is an unequivocal yes, because this humiliation, this outrage to the body and the spirit, is imposed by terror of the male, by fear of suffering at the will of the masculine nature.
