What's next? Chastity belts and witch burning lol

$20 for a chastity belt seems like a bargain to be honest.

A quick search on Amazon shows that you can get "low end" chastity devices for both men and women around that price point (I am not sure whether I look forward to seeing the ads that will now follow me around the web for the next few days, but who knows what I'll learn)

EDIT: Startup idea: Fetish toy in the form of a chastity device that gives the wearer an electric shock if they try to access blocked sites. I love the thought of "abusing" such a filter to power a BDSM toy that the supporters of the bill will surely find obscene.

Ok, is it wrong that my first thought had nothing to do with the actual content... (from you EDIT) ... but instead immediately was like "Shit, yeah... the person on the site could open "banned" sites in an iframe remotely... like a remote controlled dog collar" ...

So yeah, i just go right to the tech... engineer life... I don't know if i love or hate the "problem" of seeing everything as a problem with a solution to be found..

I think the audience for a device like that would see the ability to intentionally trigger it remotely as a feature, not a bug.

Joking aside, I think this would sell like mulled wine at the Christmas Market in Vienna. add a smartphone app that does the same when you walk into a store or church, or go into a 'pokemon gym' (capability to react to augmented reality)

"Fencing" in a sub and applying various punishments or rewards for certain movements would probably be a popular control element for some into BDSM... A generic geo-fencing app with a suitable bluetooth interface coupled with various "attachments" would be interesting. And the same for various online behaviours.
