Man cut free from ‘S&M’ chastity belt by firemen
Firefighters had to cut a man out of a titanium chastity belt intended for sex games last week.
Crews from Kingston fire station were called to the red-faced man’s home in Ham at about 11pm on June 27 after he had spent all day trying to free himself from the device.
It took about 45 minutes for firefighters to release the man, believed to be in his 40s, from the structure. By this time he had slipped in and out of consciousness due to the pressure of the chastity belt on his genitals.
His girlfriend was out of the house when he put it on but returned to find him trapped in the belt and realised she did not have the key either.
“He was very embarrassed about the situation. He was very apologetic and seemed to be wishing he wasn’t there,” said Mr Healey. “He seemed like a nice guy who found himself in a predicament he didn’t want to be in.
“He had put a dressing gown over him but apart from that he only had the chastity belt on.
“He’d spent all day trying to get it off and was at his last tether.”
Three machines were needed to cut through the titanium.
“The man had lots of swelling in his genital area,” said Mr Healey. “It took a long time to release him because he was in a lot of pain, and we needed to give him oxygen.
“Firefighter Simon Mitchell did a great job and was especially hands on’. When he was released we called the London Ambulance Service who took him to hospital, but he seemed much better by then.
“His girlfriend initially seemed to find it funny but became more concerned as his condition got worse.
“I think the man wanted to use it as part of an S&M sex game with his girlfriend.
“I presumed he and his girlfriend used that sort of thing a lot – they didn’t seem phased by it.
“From the inside of their house you wouldn’t know they were into that sort of thing – they didn’t have any shackles or anything! But then again, I didn’t see their bedroom.
“He didn’t want to be in that situation. That sort of thing is all right behind closed doors but when it’s out in the open it’s a different matter.
“He was very grateful and relieved by the time we left.
“It wasn’t the usual type of job we get called to!”

Titanium, eh? I’ll bet that guy ruined several hundred dollars worth of work.
What the hell was he thinking, not having the key? I mean, you know you’ve got to test it out a bit first, right?

It’s funny, when I tell my guy to put on the CB, he always asks me where the key is, first. 😉

I can’t imagine that happening. We have our little rituals when we put the CB on. And a large part of that is the placing of the key. Either he puts it on without me, and leaves the key in my jewelry drawer where I keep my wedding ring, or I put it on and tie the key onto my bra. But putting it on and just assuming someone has the key, well, you know what they say about when you assume something…

I’m a little confused by this article. He was passing in and out of consciousness? Swelling, in pain, needed to be given oxygen? And yet this is supposed to be a couple who hypothetically are kinky, or “do this sort of stuff a lot?” That doesn’t make any sense. And I’m not even sure how a chastity device could cause you to *lose consciousness.*

Best. Line. Ever.

He lived in a town called Ham? Beautiful.
I can’t figure out why they didn’t cut the padlock off with bolt-cutters. And if there was no padlock, it was probably a higher-end device with the lock built in; if it was, I don’t understand why a high-end expensive device would cause pain and swelling.
And as far as them not having “shackles or anything”, they probably put their stuff away before the help arrived, if any was out to begin with.

L & Patty – Mrs. Edge insists upon locking it herself, and carries her key in her purse. Sometimes I lock it on myself, but that’s when I’m testing something. I have an emergency key wrapped in tape and signed with her initials on one side and a doodle on the other, but I’ve never had to use it.
Eileen – I’m not sure about this, either. Most professionally made devices are pretty straightforward – they fit or they don’t, and you’ll know pretty quickly if you can fit your equipment inside of them. It’s possible, though, that an ill-fitting device caused some swelling, but I’m not sure how or where.
Kate – I suspect that Mr. Mitchell is going to take a lot of ribbing in the near future.
Roo – I’m as confused as you are. I can’t even think of any company that builds titanium devices; generally all are advertised as stainless steel. A custom model, perhaps?
As to the name of the village where he lived? Very interesting – I wonder if he’s ever met this guy?

At least it’s just called Ham. Could be worse – Shem and Japheth are a good starting point…

Uh, you really expect kinky people to keep shackles in the living room?

Kate — that so made me laugh!
Yeah both my partner and I were totally “ya think ya’d know where the fucking key is.”
Oh and what the hell kind of houses do those firefighters think kinky people live in anyway?

I too must wonder about the passing out from the device, and don’t understand how even an ill fitting device would have caused that reaction.
Perhaps the stress of the situation?
