    This is not a strange customer request I personally had but one of
    my instructors from many years ago told me about it. 

    During the early stages of the Vietnam conflict, he had a young lady
    come to him and ask that he fit her with a chastity belt so she could
    be true to her soldier love headed for the war. He made it clear to
    her that she would have to be naked when he did it and she agreed. 

    She arrived at his home, stripped, and lay down on the kitchen
    table. He placed the belt on her, added a thick layer of wet asbestos
    (yes it was still in use then) and soldered it on. 

    Never did learn how she did with it or if she ever had it taken
    off!! 

    Cheers from Don at The Charles Belle Studio in SOFL where simple
    elegance IS fine jewelry!
