The history of this invention is quite controversial, since it is not known who exactly and when came up with the chastity belt,
however, it is believed that its counterpart existed in ancient Greece. It consisted of two strips of skin, one of which passed between the legs, and the other wrapped around the waist. As a rule, slaves were forced to wear it, so as not to become pregnant and not to lose their ability to work, since this was absolutely not in the hands of the slave owner. The invention of the Greeks in the Middle Ages came in handy. One German emperor, whose name was hidden from us by history, being very jealous and incredulous, introduced the tradition of locking his spouse whenever he was forced to leave his native land. Only its construction was more like a tool of torture, it was made by a blacksmith and was a bulky metal belt with many locks. He had only one key, which was stored only at the watchful spouse.

It should be noted that the female chastity belt was far from a cheap “decoration”; only wealthy classes could afford it. Mothers dressed their daughters with a “Burgundy castle” from the age of 12, and the key to it was solemnly handed to the groom on their wedding day. Such a bride was considered a real treasure, because in those days already among 15-year-old ladies to find a virgin was a rarity.
