Sweet Chastity

The male chastity belt.

Doesn’t seem like it would be sexy or attractive. Doesn’t seem like something meant to draw one in. Or out.

But before you think of the loin-girdling corsets of yore forced onto unlucky maidens-in-waiting, think again.

According to Kali Morgan, whose fetish/fantasy-wear shop, Passional, is one of the few venues in the country that sell the anatomically-correct cages, the male chastity belt is a fashion must for the man who craves restraint and the woman who luuuuuuuuvs a restrained man, and it's a great symbol of the bond of trust that goes with someone holding a key to your prick.

"If you've got to lock someone's cock into this contraption, they better well trust and like you," Morgan says.

Light in weight for those who crave portability and made of molded clear acrylic and polycarbonate, so as not to get snagged by metal detectors, the MCB purposely but painfully prevents men from getting erections. "That is, those who hold the key decide to release him from his confines," says Morgan, showing off different models of the cock-hold, like the CB2000 and its upgrades, the CB3000 and The Curve. "The upgrades aren't based on endowment -- every guy thinks he needs a bigger cage," laughs Morgan. "The upgrades are about comfort and position, for those who like to wear them for extended periods."

No matter how long you are or how long you want to leave it on, you're not getting it on or leaving it on with a hard-on.

Both the CB2000 and its upgrades have two basic pieces. First there are five spacer rings of varying sizes. After choosing the one that fits best, the ring goes over the entirety of the scrotum, and then links with plastic bolts to the main capsule that covers the penis -- it kind of looks like the docking mechanism on a space station. "The spacer rings aren't just for comfort but for transferability -- like if you break up with someone," notes Morgan.

While the 2000 looks like a cage, the 3000 is molded phallus-style. As for The Curve, it's less prong, more schlong. "The feedback is that it's very comfortable to wear when flaccid. But you have to sit down to pee." And who buys these belts, which run $130 to $150? Morgan says that, overwhelmingly, it is men coming in to purchase the gilded cage. "They always say their wives sent them in. Yet, they never come in with their wives."
