If you have seen the 1993 comedic adventure Robin Hood: Men in Tights, you would be familiar with the belt worn by Maid Marian; yes, the one that the Sheriff revealed, that’s it. It is not a standard accessory today, as civilization and human rights have eroded these acts. Still, in the deepest part of that particular couple’s closet, they own a spiky metal female waist gear that they unleash whenever they want to have some hard bondage BDSM plays. I am talking about the female chastity belt.
What is Female Chastity?
The word ‘chastity’ is usually affiliated with purity and temperance in a sexual context. In this sense, female chastity means abstinence from sexual intercourse and other related activities. Basically, it is believed to have originated from medieval times, when women wore waist wears to prevent other men from having their way with them down there.
The waist wear we speak of is known as a chastity belt, and today it is mainly used in the BDSM space.
What is a Chastity Belt?
Whether it’s of rubber or metal, a chastity belt is a locking item of clothing designed to prevent sexual intercourse or masturbation. Such belts were historically designed for women, ostensibly for the purpose of chastity, to protect women from rape, or to dissuade women and their potential sexual partners from sexual temptation. Chastity belts are usually shaped like the letter V to match and easily cover the genitals and the anus.
They have locks and are adjustable to meet the morphology of the one under the belt. Initially, history tells us that these belts were used in the Middle Ages, during the Crusades. Warrior Knights that left for the wars will have their ladies wear these belts to prevent them from having other intercourses and to preserve their faithfulness. But these claims have been seen as myths, as they say, that these devices only existed in art to humorously depict men’s fear of being cuckolded or of their daughters’ virtue being stolen.
Modern Female Chastity Belts: How are They Used?
Chastity belts today are now used by the kinkiest of BDSM players. Most times, they are worn during hard bondage plays. The primary purpose of wearing chastity belts in BDSM plays is for control and dominant purposes. It is also used for orgasm control, as the sub cannot engage in any form of sexual activity or even have complete orgasms with the permission of the dominant partner.
Aesthetics is also a reason for the use of chastity belts. They usually have erotic decorations and different modifications. For example, some of them might have butt plugs at the rear, which is also still a form of sexual stimulation. So, as long the belt is on and the dominant partner has the keys, such a partner has the plug in their butt.
Most people that use chastity belts usually have chastity or denial fetishes. They enjoy being withheld and find pleasure in begging or being begged for sexual permission.
What Does a Chastity Belt Look Like?
Sex toys today don’t usually have a particular design, shape, or color. For example, female chastity belts have a traditional V shape. With a waistband to hold the belt up, a strap goes down between the legs. Some resemble thongs and divide the butt, while others are modeled like regular underwear.
To spice up the intensity, some of them have extra accessories. I had earlier spoken about the inclusion of butt plugs. These types usually come in underwear modifications to make the inclusion of the plugs. Dildos can also be put in front of the plugs. The sub has the dildo in her vagina and cannot remove it as far as the Dom disapproves of it because they literally have the keys.

Materials Used to Make Female Chastity Belts
The most common materials used are metals. It is the original maiden material, as seen in museums. Metal chastity belts are usually very easy to clean and sterilize. Other reasonable materials to have your chastity belt made from include plastic, polycarbonate, and silicone. Try and avoid materials like wool, leather, or rubber. They are tough to maintain and clean.
The size of your chastity belt depends on recommendations. You can have custom-made belts with measurements of the waist, hips, crotch, and backside. Or you can go for the cheaper adjustable models if you are a starter or are on a low budget.
Possible Kinky Sex Games with Chastity Belts
Chastity games can be used for different types of sex plays. Mainly, most are denial based and involve control of the sub. Some of these games include:
- Orgasm denial: The dominant partner has the lower genitals locked up, thereby restricting them from sexual activities.
- Oral sex denial: You and your partner might decide to starve one another of oral sex. Perhaps if one partner has a fetish, the other partner can use the belt to restrict the partner.
- Roleplay: If you and your partner want to recreate the Robin Hood movie, try getting a chastity belt.
- Sexual torture: While you have her vagina bond, you can tease her with soft touches or go for the aggressive (if she approves of it) by using electrostimulation and other hard bondage methods.
How long can a female chastity belt be worn?
The duration of the wearability of a chastity belt depends on the materials used to make that particular belt. Some materials are improper for long-term use because of sanitary constraints and modifications.
Long-term chastity belts are usually breathable and have allowances for excretion and urination. However, leaving someone locked up in a chastity belt for a long time is not cool. Chastity plays are meant to be soul games, and leaving your girl locked up is no more than an unhygienic practice. And for the ladies, try not to get so comfortable while being locked up. Make the chastity belt only necessary during bondage plays; it’s not the 18th century!
Are women still made to wear chastity belts to prevent them from cheating?
Even if there are claims that the whole chastity tales were mere folklore, it can still be agreed that with the kind of activities and ways women were perceived back then, chastity belts might have been used to avoid cuckoldry and breach of trust.
However, the chances of these kinds of forceful impositions are considered inhumane and can certainly be punished by the law. So, no! A woman cannot be forced to wear a chastity belt in society today. Instead, it should stay a part of a kinky and consensual BDSM play.

Male Chastity Belts
As modernization began to set into the BDSM space, new activities and toys began to pop up, one of them including the male chastity belt. Most times, it is more of a penis cage, used to enclose a man’s penis, making erection uncomfortable and almost impossible. It also prevents sexual intercourse, masturbation, oral sex involving the wearer’s genitals, and some other forms of sexual activity.
Conclusion
Chastity plays are fun ways of BDSM exploration, but they focus on vulnerability and control, so it is essential always to play it safe. The usual safe words should be noted, and basic hygienic measures should be put in to ensure they don’t carry diseases. So, go out there, get your girl a chastity belt, and let her beg for her freedom! Remember always to be keen on consent; it is vital.
