LOL!  They're not doomed at all.  Thousands of men wear cb2000s to work
every day (along with other chastity devices).    They are not just
decorations.  You will not get a woody or have an orgasm until your
keyholder allows you to.  Anyhow, I know better than to have this
type of conversation with a 'nilla, but these men wear these happily, and
consensually.  (:  There is little power struggle in the lifestyles of the
people who use these.  There is power exchange instead.  Lots of
variations on the definition, but this one's from Gloria Brame's site:
Power exchange: the consensual transfer of power by the submissive to the
dominant. The exchange takes place when the returned energy from the
dominant empowers the submissive.
Anyhow, there are tons of informative sites out there for anyone who cares
to read them, but I assure you, the chastity device business is doing very
well, and it is illegal to force someone to wear one.  It's not coercion,
it is creative sensuality.  (:
