Hello
I've been an occasional lurker here at for a whlie now. I was just wondering if anyone had any good links to chastity stories? I know Altairboy often publishes fiction sent in by people--but often times those stories are rather short. The one exception that I saw was a story called Jock Locked High (http://www.tpe.com/%7Ealtarboy/nt000318.htm) which is a very nice length. I'm mostly a fan of chastity fiction with a gay theme myself, but what about you guys? Do you enjoy a good story or know of any good sources? |

There are some rather lengthy ones linked off the stories section here on lockmeup. Two of my favorites are The Suit and Hired Help.
You can find the story section at:

Considering the source (Weekly World News, a supermarket tabloid) and the general topic of the article (Edgar Cayce, a purported "psychic" seer), this is probably fiction. A friend of mine drew my attention to the 14 November 2000 edition of this publication, which contains an article purporting that this "seer" predicted that chastity belts would make a comeback early in the forthcoming milennium. |

Ah! Thank you Admin--I should have looked more closely here at Lockmeup. |

Contaminated though these are by the Crusader myth, two books come immediately to mind:
The Crusader's Key by Eric Linklater, New York (Knopf); and The Chastity Belt by Laura Fredericks, New York (Robert Speller & Sons: 1961). The Belt figures somewhat in a semi-porn exploitation novel called Venus in Chains. In science fiction, the Belt figures briefly in some of "John Norman's" Gor novels. (Mr. Higginbottom said that Prof. Lange -- "John Norman's" mundane name is John Frederick Lange, and he is a professor of philosophy in the C.U.N.Y. system -- almost entirely did not know what he was doing with the Belt.) It also has a part in Philip Jose Farmer's novel, Flesh. In magical -- sword 'n' sorcery -- fantasy, it figures prominently in the very first part of Fritz Lieber's long short story or short novel (take your pick), The Snow Women.
A friendly acquaintance at the Public Library says she has read a hundred or more Recency/"bodice-rippers" a year for several years, and has never encountered the Belt in that genre. Does anyone out there have a correction to cite? |

Did the Weekly World News say whether it was male or female belts that are going to make a comeback? |

I can think of a few examples of the Belt in films:
There is a British comedy called Naughty Knights, sometimes a.k.a. Up The Chastity Belt, starring Freddy Howerd: This is one dry chuckle after another about the Crusader fallacy, that would almost be PG if not for rapid-fire innuendo. Exploitation of a different myth serves as context for Ilsa, Harem Keeper For The Oil Sheikhs, starring Dyan Thorne: This one is definitely R not only for bare flesh but also side dishes of horror. (In some respects, I would judge it to be propaganda for anti-Arab bigotry.)
Two triple-Xers feature the Belt, whereof I know: The Erotic Adventures of the Three Muskateers (Misspelling in original, and it descends from there), is an eminently dismissable aesthetic dud-bomb. On the other hand, Chastity and the Starlets, starring Taija Rae and William Margold, is a very pleasant surprise, in that there is actually a semblance of plot, with a psychological twist and some decent acting.
I have heard that the Belt actually carries a turn of the plot of Luis Bunuel's The Obscure Object of Desire (in French with English subtitles), but as I have not yet seen this film, I cannot comment further.
According to Leonard Maltin's Film and Video Guide, the 1970 film starring Tony Curtis and Monica Vitti, The Chastity Belt (sometimes a.k.a. On My Way To The Crusades I Met A Girl Who...) has not been converted to video.
Grazia mentions two films from her native Italy -- one would presume they are exclusively in Italian -- on her site. (If any reader here, knows where domestically to buy obscure foreign films reformatted to VHS NTSC, the citation would be welcome here.)
Come on, Colleagues: Who else has something to say about films in which the Belt figures? (Yes, I do know about that page of Altairboy's site devoted to film and video.)
As an endnote, early in the 90s, radio station WCLV-FM had a contest in which contestants were invited to submit questions to the station's panel of opera experts. The question I submitted was submitted in serious good faith: Did anyone on the panel know of any opera in any language, whose primary plot or any sub-plot thereof, turned on a female character wearing a chastity belt? For my trouble, I received a CD brief anthology of operatic excerpts for participating -- and a free feed at a sponsoring restaurant, for stumping the panel. One cannot prove a negative, but this leads me to infer there exists no such opera. I would love to be proved wrong here. |

I know of two other films featuring chastity belts: Everything You Wanted to Know About Sex (But Were Afraid to Ask), featuring Woody Allen in a chastity belt sketch, and Robin Hood: Men In Tights. |

"HELL COMES TO FROGTOWN"
Guys, how could you have missed this one?
http://www.badmovies.org/movies/hellfrog/
A good review of a (terribly) tasteless movie. But falling down funny, nonetheless. I've seen this one several times and still can't get over seeing it's female lead is Sandhal Bergman of "Conan the Barbarian" fame. Color, lots of violence, lotsa noise, ugly frogs, skimpy (and sometimes no) clothing, a bar that's almost as good as the one in "Star Wars", and a beat up pink van with a BIG gun on it!
For the guys (close your eyes, Robert!) it might well be the only MALE chastity belt movie: Sam Hell (the hero) is impressed to fertilize as many women as possible in the "badlands" (there's been a BIG war, see?) where giant mutant frogs [and horny, too! Waddya expect? Frogs ARE a fertility symbol, aren't they??] live in, where else?, Frogtown.
Sandhal's job is to escort Sam, who is wearing a chastity belt that if he gets too far away from her electrically shocks and imobilizes him. And... if an attempt is made to remove it by force, it'd blow up! Ewww!
Oh, and a great chain-saw scene! Murrrph!

Jim,
He's the frog holding the chain-saw. You mean you didn't see the movie?? |

I don't know if Jim did, but I have no clue what
you are talking about. But I think that about
most of your statements, Brandy. |

To all and sundry, an inquiry about two films, both ca. 1973:
LOVE LOCKED OUT unknown as to origin and as to language; and
WHEN CHASTITY BELTS RATTLE IN THE NIGHT, Germany, presumably in German.
Can anyone provide any filmographic data concerning either film? Was either film ever converted to video in any format? |

I've heard of LOVE LOCKED OUT, I don't recall ever seeing
it but it may be in some of Hal's old videos. I don't have a TV
or video player so I will have to get someone else to scan
them for me. I'll get back to you on that.

I think Love Locked Out was a book and did not concern CBs.
I have more Scfi books with portions involving CBs. I forgot about Robert Heinlein's Time Enough For Love and John Varley's Steel Beach. |

Anonymous (#16): Again, thank you.
Yes, I'm peripherally aware of a book entitled Love Locked Out, and that that book does not pertain. I read what purported to be a review of a film of that selfsame title in an old display magazine, and I have no more information than that, other than Richard's response above..
A magical fantasy short story entitled Armor/Amore, by David Vierling, was brought to my attention; it occurs in a Baen paperback anthology (New York: 1995) called Chicks in Chainmail, edited by Esther Friesner. I got a laugh out of it. |

A friend of mine, who is a comic-book entheusiast/collector, recently brought two items to my attention:
The Troubles of Janice, volume two, by Erich von Gotha; and Young Witches, again volume two "London Babylon," by Barriero and Solano Lopez.
In both cases, the Belt is used to prevent the wearer from taking part in sexual intercourse, though not from acting as receptacle for sodomy, while she is involuntarily confined in a brothel! |
