Essentially anonymous – said to have been written for the stage show "Wait a Minim" during the 1960's, with a cast of mainly Englishmen living in South Africa.

Apparently, it is controversial whether there ever was a chastity belt in actual usage – well other than voluntary sex games. Yes, there are lots of pictures of them but that's not the same as use. Does seem a remarkably impractical and cruel idea.

Early warning notice: This series of the Happy File noncontinues beginning April 16.
