"Chastity" technologies were doomed from the start, and I'll add chemical
ones to the trash heap.  (Yeah, Cindy, these are decorative toys for the
subculture, but....)
Generally,someone is attempting to preserve a relationship with this
nonsense, when quite plainly the the relationship is in a state where
preserving it is of little value.  Hardware is of no real use save for
playing the power-struggle game.   I don't want to see the future of this.
"Invisible Fence" for your mate.   "Must wear" location transponders and
endocrine monitors.   More movies like "Minority Report."
It seems so automatic for people to reach for coercive solutions.   So
surprizing given the low absolute effectiveness of coercion in the absense
of overwhelming force advantage.

It also depends on what the fad is or what is in style.  (:

Actualy our silly antiquated ideas about relationships and love have
resulted in the bleedings of many upon many a page (and musical  instrumnet,
and canvas)  What's the problem if we dash a little Mrs. Dash on them?  (:
Or cayenne.  Or ginger. (mm ask me about ginger root play).
And let me tell you this: just because a child happens to be
single-parented (what a word), does not mean that child is dysfunctional
or lives in a dysfunctional home.  The govt/media/church has tried to make
it look like there is a disintegration, when in fact, there is a coming
together of other family members and friends to raise children.  It's not
decaying -- it's changing.  Nothing wrong with change.
