It's midsummer . . . the heat is on . . . .and a young man's fancy turns to . . . chastity!
Passion8 - the UK's leading on-line adult retailer - has found the surprise hit of the season has been its CB range of male chastity belts.
"At a time when sales are generally sluggish as we move into the summer holiday period these CBs are flying off the shelves," enthused Passion8 MD Stephanie Taylor, "To be honest we only started stocking them as a novelty item but they've really taken off.
"At just under £80.00 for the 'entry' level model - or should that be the no-entry model - they certainly aren't cheap. But we are currently stocking three products: the CB2000 CB3000 and the Curve and are getting orders virtually every day, sometimes two or three at a time."
Incredibly it seems that 'chastity' may well be the new 'promiscuity' as New Men all over the country hand over control of the family jewels to their partners. Historically such devices were used to ensure and enforce chastity and prevent masturbation . . . but were usually inflicted upon women by men. Now in a splendidly ironic 21st Century rôle reversal it seems the tables have been turned.
In some ways it makes sense. Most women take a long while to reach orgasm, but once there can become multi-orgasmic and are capable of love-making over and over again. Men on the other hand . . . well not to put too finer point on it . . . shoot, roll over and fall asleep.
"I think there is a lot of rôle-playing going on, tease-and-denial games, but it's definitely the women who is being empowered and I for one am all for it," continued Stephanie, "She can still have lots of fun, using vibrators or orally, safe in the knowledge that her man is both faithful and in a constant state of sexual frustration. And I understand from some of our very happy customers that a horny man makes a much better lover.
"There is so much instant gratification - almost exclusively for men - with all manner of porn available at the click of an internet mouse that perhaps we are starting to see the pendulum swinging back the other way. I think maybe we are witnessing the end of the Permissive Society and the start of what I suppose I would call the Restrictive Society."
Jackie D from Reigate confirms: "The CB3000 is absolutely fantastic and has transformed our love-lives. We've been married just over ten years and the sparkle had really gone out of sex. It was perfunctory and boring, we were stuck in a taking-each-other-for-granted rut.
"It was Ray's idea to buy a chastity belt . . . although I think I actually showed him an article about them in a women's magazine. I get to have fantastic orgasms whenever I want and Ray is only too happy to give them to me. He gets to have sex . . . whenever I allow it. He is now a much more attentive and inventive lover and we both agree that sex is better than it has ever been.
"If you like it's the difference between an endless diet of burgers every night or the most delicious steak - but only once a week.
"I think the CB3000 looks incredibly sexy, it is so small that it can be worn under ordinary everyday clothing and it even comes with special plastic padlocks that will get you through airport metal detectors . . . although we haven't got around to trying that yet!"
The devices come in a durable, lightweight and easy-to-clean, transparent polycarbonate. A sort of sheath fits over the penis and is then fixed to a ring around the scrotum. Once locked in place it can only be removed by the 'keyholder' and therein, apparently, lies the fascination.
Apparently abstinence really does make the heart grow fonder! |
