The rogue chastity device story was such a big one it feels like I should do a follow-up. It popped up all over the place. Something that the unfortunately trapped men will presumably not be doing anytime soon.
I may have been too optimistic about the ease of escaping the device, as I saw numerous online comments from people reporting being trapped for days. I guess in some ways that could be seen as selling point. Buy our device and you’ll be doing #locktober whether you like it or not.
Fortunately, there is a relatively easy escape route. Freddie Clegg’s humorous post on the subject linked me to this BBC article which suggests a screwdriver might be all that’s needed to escape. There’s a video for that trick on the companies site. The people who discovered the original flaws have another suggestion for escaping, described towards the bottom of this page.
As seems inevitable in any hacking story, Russians and bitcoin were also involved. Estelle Sinclair described an attempt to extort money from one of her submissives using the device. I guess if you imagine the Russian hacker as a icy cruel blonde Slavic lady, then that’d actually be kind of a hot scene. It’s just lucky the device didn’t come with a punishment setting capable of delivering electric shocks. That could have led to a few guys learning all about crypto-currencies in record time.
Finally, for anyone wanting a more serious deep dive into the issues here, the buttplug.io twitter feed has put up some lengthy threads on the topic. Worth checking out it you’re still intrigued by this kind of tech.
This is clearly a much more low-tech device that’s being inspected. I feel I should totally know the name of the two dommes in the image, but my brain is failing me. Hopefully a reader can help with the correct attribution.
Updated: Thanks to my ever knowledgeable readers I can attribute this to Lady Sophia Black and Ms Morrigan Hel. I think it’s from a shoot for The English Mansion.Â
Hi, Lady Sophia Black and Mistress Morrigan Hel
Yes! Thanks a lot. I’ve updated the post with that information.

At https://chastityforums.com, we’re already on the lookout for new members who might be posting questions about being locked in such devices… although frankly, I’m not so much looking for them as needing answers, but more likely expect them to be wankers posting fictional messages.
Good writeup, though, and the link to buttplug.io’s Twitter is very good meta reading on the idea of locking chastity devices.
Thanks Tom. Mainstream coverage on kinks does seem to bring the wankers out, but hopefully there’ll be some new sane non-troll types left when the dust settles :-).
buttplug.io was a new one to me, so glad this story brought it to my attention.
