Chastity belt
 
 
Germany ,16th -17th century
 
 
One of these devices where it is not clear if they were historical or invented by later generations .
 The chastity belt was probably never used as a regular torture device and the male torturers had no intention to lock their female prisoners into contraptions which protected their virginity !
Is it a torture device ? Yes - considering that it  was used privately by husbands on their wives .
