Anti masturbation device...

I found this on one of my favorite blogs. Apparently some guy sold an antique boys chastity... labeled as a "Anti-Masturbation Device" It was made in 1880 in France. It sold for $2,906! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190194504224

Since the auction is over and it's just a matter of time before it's purged from eBay's website, I thought I'd post the details on the auction.

EXTREMELY RARE ANTI MASTURBATION DEVICE DATING FROM c1880. THE COPPER SHAPED DEVICE WAS ATTACHED TO A BELT AND WORN BY BOYS AS A MEANS OF PREVENTING NOCTURNAL EMISSIONS. VERY MUCH AN INDICATION OF SOCIETIES VIEWS ON ONANISM IN THE 19TH CENTURY. THIS IS THE FIRST EXAMPLE WE HAVE OFFERED FOR SALE IN 24 YEARS. THE CONDITION IS EXCELLENT 3 ½ INCHES TOP TO BASE.

No, I wasn't the top bidder... nor could I even afford the starting bid. I'd really like to know who bought it but the auction was kept private.

What I'd like more than that is to know of the history of the practice. I thought it was limited to the United States (who crazier than us to try stuff like this?) I think there is a lot not discussed due to the potentially taboo nature of the discussion (talking about masturbatory habits of boys).

I know the popular myth. If you masturbate, hair grows on hands and your vision worsens, insanity; obvious lies... but was this practice of complete abstinence ever scientifically proven to help or hurt anything?

Talking from experience, I would say this device is not cruel or unusual... it should be brought back. My sex peak plummeted and sex was the next to last thing on my mind. I am a developed male though and I know how hormones affect me, I wonder what this was do the the psychology of someone younger.

Any doctors or students out there that can help? Anyone doing any studies on this at all.. if so why not? I don't think this is really being studied since scientists are busy working on our next food additive or diet pill...

Some people may actually benefit from this. I know of a kid I grew up with who was very sexually deviant. When he was younger he was a peeping tom, flasher and did "inappropriate" things with small animals. He is now in prison for 10 years, armed robbery.

Not that the two are related but they may have been. For instance, forced to wear it after the first time busted peeping. Then after the 2-3 months or however the desires go away and the testosterone decreases (not sure if mine decreased or my brain just got used to the urges or what... that's why it needs to be studied). Lack of testosterone could have kept him from acting out... It's a stretch but it could have happened. Just curious if this was ever explored and if it could help someone today.

Keuschheit CB CS-500/A

The Chastity Steel belt for men
series: CS-500 /A http://www.keuschheit-cb.de/shopcb/product_info.php?info=p72_CS-500--A-Eichel-offen.html

This is going to be my next chastity belt... it's kinda expensive (about $900) but I love the look and I'm sure it would support well. I hate chastity belts that wear like a thong because you could never wear it full time without major concerns for sanitation (unless you spend hours trying to clean it while still wearing it after using the bathroom).

Here is a picture of another model (no open end) with someone wearing one. Anyone have any experience wearing one?

50 year chastity?

Kathia baba's and lohalangari baba's
Celibacy is no doubt the most important austerity practiced by sadhus. According to Yoga-metaphysics, sexual energy, the fire of passion, is the main potential source of spiritual energy.

But as an aid to mental control of sexuality, physical restraint must sometimes be employed and one method is the continuous wearing of 'chastity belts'.
It is a rather 'recent' austerity, not more than 300 years old, and it is only done by Vaishnavas of the Nimbarki Sampradaya.
This austerity, like most, is usually undertaken for a minimum of twelve years.

A dhoti usually, modestly, covers this wooden underwear, but as these Baba's are about to take a bath, they have a valid reason for taking it off.

Kathia baba
This wooden arbandh with its wooden langoti attached, may quite rightly be called a 'chastity-belt'; only this one is self-imposed.
The langoti can be unhooked for cleaning, but the arbandh of course stays on all the time.
Jaganath Das has worn the belt for thirteen years and has vowed to remain doing so for life.


Lohalangari baba
Kailas Das has worn this steel chastity-belt for fifty years.
He is also known as Mauni Baba, for he did not speak for twelve years.

Wanted!

After years of searching, I've lost any trace of this chastity belt. I am compiling a list of manufacturers and this is one I have no clue about. I forgot where I found the image. It looks like something I would personally love to have.

Welcome friends

This is my 2nd blog after my adventures of going without masturbation for 1 entire year: Not For a Year Blog

I would say that after that and extensive research I've stumbled upon a large amount of disorganized content dealing with chastity. My attempt here will be linking all chastity sites/manufacturers/portals/blogs from here and trying to give non biased reviews of new products.

Welcome and enjoy!
