CONCERNED American housewives have revived the chastity belt to prevent their husbands from straying during long business trips. A modern version of the medieval device has been launched by a Nevada company, which hopes to market it to women who want to make sure their men remain faithful while away from the marital bed.
The "CB-2000" is a lightweight plastic cage that costs £150 and includes an optional sturdy brass padlock. Its inventor, Frank Miller, is awaiting final approval from the United States Patent Office, which prefers to call it a "Safe Sex Assurance Device".
While a number of more traditional iron and steel chastity belts for both men and women have been available from specialist suppliers for some years, this one claims to be the first guaranteed not to set airport security alarms jangling. As the promotional literature puts it: "For the frequent flier, the CB-2000 is a 'must'. Since all material used in this design is of plastic . . . you can go through security checks undetected."
The belt comes in two parts with a padlock, which is supplied with two keys. As an alternative, it can be closed with a plastic tag, numbered to prevent tampering. There are six sizes, with the company pointing out: "Proper measuring is extremely important for security and comfort." While no sales figures are available, glowing testimonials have been offered by a number of satisfied customers.
One husband from California wrote offering thanks "for designing a terrific, practical, workable, comfortable chastity device. I haven't found anything I can't do in it yet. Thanks for making chastity work for us." A Michigan man noted: "Take my word for it, it is secure, comfortable, restrictive and airport safe. I don't even know it's there." A New Yorker recalled: "My wife locked the CB-2000 in place. She loved the unit and it stayed locked." He added: "She loved the fact that business travel will no longer even be an issue."
The traditional chastity belt was invented in Europe as a way of ensuring wives remained chaste when wars took their knights elsewhere. But, with a booming economy sending America's new breed of road-warrior husbands on an estimated 100 million business trips each year, and surveys suggesting that nearly 60 per cent of men will have an extramarital affair at some stage, concerns over fidelity are now reversed.
The makers of the CB-2000 say that putting the women in control can actually strengthen a marriage and improve a couple's sex life. As the promotional material promises: "When he is wearing a chastity device and you are holding the key, his attention is on you!"
