 For almost our lifetime, men have tried to chain us with sex chains, doubting the loyalty and reliability of a woman's heart. Perhaps we are not always correct because of the inconsistency in our blood, but it does not necessarily mean that you have to ridicule all our origin, dressing in iron or leather fetters.
The first symbol of the chastity belt is believed to have emerged
during the Ancient Egypt when a slave owner tied a usual string at her
waist. Later in the Ancient Greece, female slaves tried to protect
themselves from unwanted pregnancy by using two strips of leather - one
was used to clasp the waist of girls, while the second clasped the
perineum. Men never cared about the unsanitary conditions of such
devices, and so all the time women had to suffer carrying ugly devices.
The Ancient Rome did not lag behind from other countries practicing the
same and also locking girls with leather belts. However, it was only
prostitutes that sellers exhibited on the streets. At the agreed time,
the leather chastity belt is removed from the girl of easy virtue so
that the customer can make use of their purchase. In addition, this
atrocity had another character - by wearing the belt constantly, the
slaves did not get pregnant, but if it occured, then the leather belt,
which can not be removed personally, pressed the stomach thereby
causing miscarriage. After this the female slave is again put in order.
The Ancient China is very different in this regard from other
countries because even those girls who wore chastity belts that were
weaved like wicker baskets could care for their personal hygiene.
First, the baskets were weaved in such a way so as not to interfere
when easing nature. Secondly, they could remove it once a week for a
full bathing. The belts were dressed on them not by jealous husbands
but by women themselves to save the vows.
For a while men
stopped to ridicule the weaker sex, but in the Middle Ages they started
it over. Then the time of the general locking of women with chastity
belts with the help of blacksmiths began. From the XII century women
had to deform their figure due to the wearing of the steel belts at the
waist and the perineum. After several months of wearing it, the body
experienced irreversible damages: the backbone and legs deformed, the
diseases of the internal organs and the urogenital system emerged. The
chastity belts found themselves during the days of the Crusades, from
which not all men returned. It was impossible to personally remove the
iron hoops. In some cases women went to court, which sometimes did
recognize the right to be called a widow and removed the shameful belt.
At the same time an active production of belts began in secret when at
attempts to remove it or cheat on a husband, and the woman and her
lover risked losing or maiming their genitals. These secrets were
specially loved by inventive seamen. During the Renaissance period,
there was a real boom on chastity belts. By this time they were used
not only to protect against adultery, but also as women's accessories.
Indeed, some were made of gold, ivory and precious stones.
For
the convenience of wearing, the inside part was made with a soft
velvet. The jewelers of Bergamo and Venice produced these works of
erotic art. Then it became fashionable to wear sex chains. Beautiful
and delicate belts were called Venetian grate or Bergamo lock, and many
mothers boasted that their daughters from the moment of attaining the
puberty age wear such a beauty. The chastity belt was handed over to
the future husband at a wedding as one of the most precious gifts.
After the first wedding night, the groom announced to everyone that the
lock and gate to paradise was safe. During our time, being faithful is
not always considered the most interesting ocupation, and wearing a
chastity belt for the sake of your loved one a foolery.
However,
on the other hand, the toys offered in sex shops that are capable of
diversifying a sexual life are very different from the precious works
of old masters. Besides, it may be covered with diamonds and many
people would agree to wear the belt made of gold.
