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…

Buttplug.io is officially my new favourite domain name.

Aww thanks. :D

The name and its "design" seems to hint at something to be used in prison. Does anybody know if my guess is correct?

No not at all. Its marketed at the bdsm/kink community. I have seen the product mentioned a lot in IM groups over the last few months.

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 s…

Your first paragraph is exactly correct, on the second one, its not meant to be painful. A decent approximation of what it feels like is if you squeeze your thumb with your other hand. It doesn't actually hurt your thumb but you feel the pressure.

It was more an expression of dismay at the lack of evolutionary fitness these actions are displaying. Your fitness is literally measured by your ability to reproduce, and here are people locking their penis inside a device that a) it intended for somebody else to control (weird) b) is actually defective and they ended up being stuck inside it, and worst case could've set their member on fire. Somebody give them a Dar…

>Your fitness is literally measured by your ability to reproduce... Choosing to use this device for sexual pleasure does not mean that they are incapable of reproducing. It also doesn't mean that they don't want to reproduce at all. These types of toys are also not necessarily limited to single, childless people - couples with children almost certainly employ these devices as well. >... intended for somebody else to…

> These types of toys are also not necessarily limited to single, childless people

that's a bad metric. If our ancient ancestors sat on a rock staring at a flickering rectangle for 8 hours a day they'd be eaten by tigers, but we're doing OK.

Though, even in the being-eaten-by-a-tiger era, we apparently had sex toys; examples of dildos from 30,000 years ago, and maybe longer, have been found.
