I was sure that I had seen contraptions described as chastity belts
used in the Middle Ages so I've done a quick search in LOCIS and
MELVYL to see if there is any literature.  The results from MELVYL
are mailable so here they are below.
 
I trust you are serious.  However, I'm amazed at the number of
enquiries you quoted.  I hate to think what this might indicate about
Australians!
