Q: What’s a good chastity device for me?
• There is no easy answer to this question. Every wearer is different. All chastity devices balance two primary needs: security and wearability The best chastity device is best for you can vary greatly depending on several different needs: lifestyle, physical dimensions, duration of chastity play, finances, physical sensitivity, metal allergies, piercings, etc. I strongly recommend looking at the links at the bottom of this FAQ and posting on the forums and boards linked there, with as much information as you can share to get feedback from other wearers. Be patient for responses, the best answers can take days or weeks to show up.
With that in mind I will say that by far, the most common chastity designs are produced in the US by a company known as "A.L. Enterprises, Inc." - they started with the CB-2000 design and have added 3 other variations/updates since then. Each is comes with 5 base rings of various sizes and are reasonably adjustable to fit most men. They however have limitations and many more sincere chastity players consider them to only be starter or play chastity devices. The 4 designs will fit most men and are an affordable introduction to chastity play. They are the: 2000 (easier to clean, wider but shorter) - 3000 (more natural shape, medium sized) - Curve (larger size, bigger profile under clothing) and the 6000 (latest design, similar to the 6000 with some design alterations.)

From Chpt 9 SOLITARY VICE
If illicit commerce of the sexes is a heinous sin, self-pollution, or masturbation, is a crime doubly abominable. As a sin against nature, it has no parallel except in sodomy (see Gen. 19:5; Judges 19:22). It is the most dangerous of all sexual abuses because the most extensively practiced. The vice consists in an excitement of the genital organs produced otherwise than in the natural way. It is known by the terms, self-pollution, self-abuse, masturbation, onanism, manustupration, voluntary pollution, and solitary or secret vice. The vice is the more extensive because there are almost no bounds to its indulgence. Its frequent repetition fastens it upon the victim with a fascination almost irresistible! It may be begun in earliest infancy, and may continue through life.
Even though no warning may have been given, the transgressor seems to know, instinctively, that he is committing a great wrong, for he carefully hides his practice from observation. In solitude he pollutes himself, and with his own hand blights all his prospects for both this world and the next. Even after being solemnly warned, he will often continue this worse than beastly practice, deliberately forfeiting his right to health and happiness for a moment’s mad sensuality.
From The Masturbation Connection by Gegory Hunt, MD, a page about Ellen White’s views on masturbation
… Ellen White published An Appeal to Mothers: The Great Cause of the Physical, Mental, and Moral Ruin of Children of Our Time. This was Mrs. White’s first book on health reform. Its intent was to warn the world about the dangers of - MASTURBATION!
Mrs. White, it seems, was dissatisfied with the result of this production and six years later she produced an amplified version entitled “A Solemn Appeal.” This book was edited by her husband and included articles from other writers to back up Mrs. White’s counsel.
This booklet is today unavailable, and any who read it can see why. Let us examine some of its passages.
“I feel alarmed for those children and you who by solitary vice are ruining themselves…you listen to numerous complaints of headache, catarrh, dizziness, nervousness, pain in the shoulders and side, loss of appetite, pain in the back and limbs…and have you not noticed that there was a deficiency in the mental health of your children?” “Secret indulgence [masturbation] is, in many cases, the only real cause of the numerous complaints of the young.” (p. 11, 13)”The state of the world is alarming. Everywhere we look we see imbecility, dwarfed forms, crippled limbs, misshapen heads and deformity of every description… Corrupt habits are wasting their energy, and bringing upon them loathsome and complicated diseases… Children who practice self-indulgence [masturbation]…must pay the penalty.” (p. 14)
A historical review of masturbation myths
… Thomas Laqueur traces the negative attitudes about masturbation to the following text in his book Solitary Sex: Cultural History of Masturbation. In 1712, an anonymous physician published a text called “Onania” or, The Heinous Sin of Self Pollution, and all its Frightful Consequences which warned about the dangers of defiling your own body. He linked masturbation to sodomy and homosexuality and claimed it caused numerous ailments including blindness, insanity and stunted growth.

THE PEOPLE’S COMMON SENSE MEDICAL ADVISER (1895) is one of the interesting historical works on the dangers of masturbation. I recommend it to students of society’s views on the subject. This extract is from the Project Gutenberg library. You can get a good flavor for its perspective from this quote:
Untold miseries arise from the pollution of the body. Self-pollution, or onanism, is one of the most prolific sources of evil, since it leads both to the degradation of body and mind. It is practiced more or less by members of both sexes, and the habit once established, is overcome with the greatest difficulty. It is the source of numerous diseases which derange the functional activity of the organs involved, and eventually impair the constitution. This vicious habit is often practiced by those who are ignorant of its dangerous results. Statistics show that insanity is frequently caused by masturbation.
Fig. 2. A Testicle wasted by Masturbation. Masturbation not only occasions loss of semen, but frequently the testicles and other generative organs waste and become reduced in size as a result of the abuse. …Fig. 2 represents one much reduced, as a result of self-abuse. [pg 773]
Note: before proceeding, please be sure you have read the Warning for Satire-Impaired
- by Ornella Moscucci / material copied from http://www.cirp.org/library/history/moscucci/
Unease about masturbation began, as is well known, in the early eighteenth century, when a book appeared entitled Onania; or the Heinous Sin of Self-Pollution (1707-1717) appeared anonymously in Holland and met with great success. By the middle of the century Tissot’s famous treatise, On Onania: or a Treatise upon the Disorders Produced by Masturbation (1760), had given a scientific veneer to the new anxiety about the “solitary vice.” Drawing on ideas about the wastage of bodily energy, Tissot argued that physical illness resulted from loss of semen, leading to general debility, consumption, deterioration of eyesight, disturbance of the nervous system, and so on. From 1800 onwards, the evils of masturbation were widely discussed in medical and moralistic texts; although attitudes to the practice were not monolithic, much was made of its physically and mentally deterious effects (see Hall; Hare; Engelhardt; Comfort). In essence, masturbation was less a vice than an antisocial activity, an egotistic enjoyment of pleasures that were the proper domain of heterosexual intercourse. (Lacqueur, Making Sex 227-30). Polluting and debilitating for the individual, it had a destablizing effect on society, as it prevented healthy sexual desire from fulfilling socially desirable ends–marriage and procreation, which was the foundation of the social order.
Some anti-masturbation history. And now you know where the name of this blog comes from.
London, 1710. An anonymously published pamphlet, Onania; or, The Heinous Sin of Self-Pollution, and all its Frightful Consequences in Both Sexes, Considered appeared in print to caution the unwary against the dangers of “self-pollution”. Apparently convinced that many practiced self-pollution without recognizing its dangers, the author, who seems to have been a doctor, sounded an alarm, warning that onanism “destroys conjugal Affection, perverts natural Inclination, and tends to extinguish the hope of posterity”. That is, masturbators lose sexual interest in their wives and tend to become sodomites, with a resultant failure to propagate. Not only does “self-pollution” threaten the reproduction of the race, the author wrote, but onanists suffer dire health effects as well.
