I'm a little confused on what a chastity belt is. I've heard of them though TV and movies. Were they real? How did it work when the woman had her period?
This question has been asked before. A source from the previous thread, The Medieval Chastity Belt: A Myth-making process argues that there is no firm evidence they were used in reality. Instead, it seems they captured later eras' imaginations as a symbol of the backwards medieval ages.
Thank you, I appreciate your help
