I think the jewels hang in between the bar and the sheath...

Yeah, but then what?

So looking at it it's 2 parts that get locked together. A ring part that you place the shaft and balls through. Then the container that when placed over the shaft and locked to the ring leaves a gap the balls can no longer get through. Thus it is attached until the lock is released and the ring and container are separated again.

It's a chastity device so the point is that when it's on you can't actually do anything sexual with the contained bits (or maybe it's painful if aroused and some get off on that). The secondary sexual goals are any emotional arousal from fear/trust/control/submission/etc.

This is highly relevant to HN users.

Could you please stop creating accounts for every few comments you post? We ban accounts that do that. This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

You needn't use your real name, of course, but for HN to be a community, users need some identity for other users to relate to. Otherwise we may as well have no usernames and no community, and that would be a different kind of forum. https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...

Serves them right for literally locking their penis in a vice. What have we come to as a species?

I'll admit, this specific device has some safety concerns, but there are plenty of safe chastity devices out there that couples use regularly spice up their sex life.

Your comments here reflect some substantial sexual repression on your part. The issue here isn't that people are playing with sex toys. The issue here is that the sex toys have safety failings.

This thing has been an absolute nightmare since it was released 18 months ago. I've had a few people contact me (note: https://buttplug.io (NSFW) is my project, I get contacted about stuff like this all the time, someday I will write a book about various support stories) with their hardware stuck on. There have been multiple security issues reported, and the company really seems to have no clue how to deal with the t…

Wow that product looks extremely dangerous! Sharp corners, pinch points, and a lock? Extremely irresponsible to manufacture that. I’m not sure if y’all appreciate how fragile that area is and the potential for serious injury from something like this.

Ah gotcha. So it's the act of being restrained that provides the gratification, and being under someone else's control.

Yeah, things like this used to be utilized as torture devices - with the apt name of the Pear of Anguish.

Smart consumers won't buy a $10 memory card on Ali because it's likely to be a destructive fake, but people will buy Internet-controlled electronics for their favorite nether regions of their bodies. Amazing. I guess that's part of the thrill.

My only experience with Aliexpress was that I ordered $30 rubber feet replacements for my laptop, and they sent me a postcard with an advertisement for a fitness band written in German. When I complained with them, they told me to check the mailbox again and went silent. Got a refund eventually, but I can imagine fraud is a standard operating procedure there.

I think you lucked out or maybe didn't pay enough attention to the seller reputation. I probably ordered three dozen items from AE, ranging from cents to 600 euros, only thing not making it was a 10 dollar cable during the peak of the Spring covid wave in Europe, when logistics was seriously disrupted. Got my money back. I suspect it was lost, as tracking showed it strolling across the Far East back and forth.

And items were not up to spec sometimes, but also got my money back or the seller sent a replacement.

I can access that link just fine on mobile. You probably live in a more prude part of the world if you can't access that link on mobile.

I’m in Berlin. The spinny billboards arrive here advertise brothels, the fly posters say “Bleib Ruhig und Dildos benutzen” and “There is no I in anal”, and one of the largest hotels has a neon sculpture of Leda and the Swan, at least two stories tall, out front.

Not sure if I understand you correctly. Do you mean that you can't access the link either and that living in a more prude country therefore is not a relevant factor here?

Buttplug.io is officially my new favourite domain name.

Even the TLD choice is apropos.
