Cage Designs
A chastity cage, also referred to as a chastity belt, is a device which encloses the male genitals to prevent stimulation and erection. Chastity cages are almost exclusively used as a sex aid and in BDSM play.
Most chastity cages have two parts: a ring seated around the base of the penis behind the scrotum and a capped tube, into which the flaccid penis is inserted. The tube is perforated to allow fluids to drain easily. Some designs have a curved or angled tube to make erections uncomfortable. The two parts mate together on hinges or pins and are secured, usually with a padlock. When the device is locked, the testicles are trapped in the gap between the penis tube and the ring that is narrow enough to prevent the testicles, and therefore the penis, from being pulled out. Chastity cages are sometimes referred to as "ball trap devices" for this reason.
Chastity cages can be manufactured out of plastic or silicone which greatly reduces their cost and weight compared to stainless steel versions.
When combined with tamper-evident plastic seals, plastic chastity cages permit easier access through airport security or other security restricted areas that require passage through metal detectors.

Famous quotes containing the words cage and/or designs:
“A work in progress quickly becomes feral. It reverts to a wild state overnight. It is barely domesticated, a mustang on which you one day fastened a halter, but which now you cannot catch. It is a lion you cage in your study. As the work grows, it gets harder to control; it is a lion growing in strength. You must visit it every day and reassert your mastery over it. If you skip a day, you are, quite rightly, afraid to open the door to its room.”
—Annie Dillard (b. 1945)
“It is a mighty error to suppose that none but violent and strong passions, such as love and ambition, are able to vanquish the rest. Even idleness, as feeble and languishing as it is, sometimes reigns over them; it usurps the throne and sits paramount over all the designs and actions of our lives, and imperceptibly wastes and destroys all our passions and all our virtues.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
