subject: Male Chastity Devices in Australia [print this page] The emergence of the Male Chastity....
Unlike female chastity belts, the development of the male chastity belt or device has been much easier to follow. It's history is much more recent and can be traced through patients records. Between the 1850s and the beginning of the Second World War male chastity devices were developed for the purpose of preventing masturbation which the Victorian's believed was a cause of insanity.
It is at this point where we can see a distinct difference between male and female chastity belts/devices.
The Victorian view of the female chastity belt was to protect the wearer from rape, and where therefore considered as a method of security.
However male chastity belts and devices were developed to prevent "self abuse", "self pollution", "nocturnal emissions" and "insanity, imbecility and feeble mindedness" which were considered to be the natural fate of any young man with lax moral attitudes!
Today's modern stainless steel chastity belt was developed by improving upon the Florentine design by Hal Higginbottom in the late 1950s. Since 1958 Hal produced male and female chastity belts from his workshop in Sheffield, England, under the brand name of Tollyboy.
His craftsmanship was of excellent quality and his belts were considered to be the "Rolls Royce" of chastity belts. It is Hal Higginbottom who was credited with bringing the chastity belt into the 20th Century.
However, due to demand and the increased interest in chastity, Hal had a long waiting list and his speed of production seemed slow to the eager, impatient buyer. With the demand for chastity belts increasing others were encouraged to manufacturer belts. The Tollyboy design was adapted in the USA by Jones and Access Denied (01/07/1997), and in Germany by Neosteel.
Hal Higginbottom became very ill with respiratory problems, and passed away on 21/05/98. Today the Tollyboy name lives on with Richard Davies (apprentice to Hal) continuing to produce the "Florentine" design, made to measure, steel chastity belts for men and women.
Since the late 1990s the availability of male chastity devices is much higher. Major Players have been Frank & Doris Miller who launched the CB-2000 in 1998. It was the world's first easily available hygienic male chastity device.
The Millers have since gone from strength to strength adding the Curve to their range for the "larger" man and in August 2003 introduced the third design the CB-3000. World-wide sales of the CB-3000 currently far out weigh any other single design.
As you will see from viewing our pages there is now a wide choice of male chastity devices, with noticeable differences in design. However, in comparison little advancement has been made to the female belt, the basic design remain the same.
Male chastity devices are now readily available from many specialist on line shops. We recommend that when purchasing you look for those shops and web sites, which know something about chastity, and will be able to help you with any problems you may initially have.
