Did chastity belts really exist?

As you may know, a chastity belt was a device allegedly developed to prevent sexual intercourse and masturbation. They are said to have been designed in Europe in the late Middle Ages so that men could ensure the fidelity of their wives when they went to war for long periods of time. But this seems to be a myth. In fact, many historians confirm that these belts never actually existed. How can this be confirmed? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. Hosted on Acast.
