Excellent question. In medieval times fathers strapped onto their daughters something like leather and iron undies to prevent unexpected additions to the family. I was only joking by the way.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chastity_belt
chastity belt is a locking item of clothing designed to prevent sexual intercourse and possibly masturbation. The purpose may also be to protect the wearer from rape or temptation. Devices have been created for males and females.
The use of such devices against another's will would now be considered abusive in most western societies.
The term "Chastity belt" is also used metaphorically in modern English to mean an overly protective device or practice. The term carries a derisive connotation and may also imply that the subject is antiquated, or is cumbersome, or provides unnecessary protection.

In Europe a long time ago,, a rich guy would marry a girl, and have to leave for a while for business or sport or some reason. He would lock up the muffin of his wife so no one could get to it while he was gone, thus, insuring chastity. Special made with a lock. 2 of his kids looked strangely like the court lock smith though.

that is a device not used often anymore.
this is a sort of metal underware that has a lock on it .
in order for the woman to have sex she would have to have this unlocked and removed.
a trusted person a woman servent or the mother of the man would keep the key so that the woman could go the bathroom .
this was done in order to insure that the woman did not have sex with another man while the husband was away.
like i said not often is it used anymore but there is no reason why a person could not use one as it seems logical.

Chasty belts were created to ensure virginity, especially with the rich and royal. More often than not they were made of iron and could be very ornate, while being impossible for sex to occurr without the man shredding his weenie! Sometimes they would be permant steel underwear with a padlock.
There was only one key to a chastity and it was given to the groom after thier wedding ceremony.

An ancient medieval torture device where you just had to have the key to try a little bit of Chastity on, but daddy's holding the key.

A horribly cruel contraption of yester year
.It was to keep married women from straying while their men were at war or out hunting.
Also used to keep a maidens virginity in tact.
If they were to be used today the user would and should be prosecuted to the full letter of the law

Any device that prevents intercourse and/or masterbation (which in the past was seen as sinful or bad for your health prior to marriage.)
