You’re probably scratching your head, wondering if that headline shouldn’t read the other way round.

But no, it is exactly right- A sort of chastity belt, which covers the area of the male genitals and is locked with a padlock, is on sale in Kenya to protect men from their women.

Apparently, there has been an upsurge in cases of men getting their genitals chopped off by their partners during arguments, and this has developed as the response to it.

According to the Nairobi News:

“A men’s clothing shop in Nairobi has begun selling chastity belts that are secured with an iron padlock.

The belts have been designed to help men to protect themselves from being sexually harassed by their wives and are being sold for 2, 000 Kenyan Shillings ($20).

The shop is at Gilfillan house, Kenyatta avenue.

The concept for the belts arose after a Nyeri woman was charged in court for chopping off her husband’s private part because of a quarrel.

A men’s lobby group, Maendeleo ya Wanaume, wants women who chop off man’s genitals to be sentenced to life imprisonment or to the death penalty.

The shop has displayed a mannequin wearing the chastity belt on its window”

Well if a woman is determined all she has to do is lure a man in with seks, and of course the man is not going to wear it during the act. And if there’s one weapon women has that always grabs the man, it is seks. This is more hilarious than it is practical.
