Can imagine buying this if you’re in an long distance relationship and into chastity.
The company is the bad guy here, there’s no need to victim blame just because their kink doesn’t match yours.
im not saying the company isnt to blame, all im saying is a smart chastity belt is about the same level as a a smart shoe
I don't know, if that's the kink, that's the kink. It's not harming anyone who didn't consent to it, so why kink shame them when they're the ones who have been wronged?
literally never said anything about their kink did i. Their kink doesnt matter, them buying a needlessly "smart" smartdevice does
A lot of kink relationships are long-distance. This sort of product appeals to someone in a kinky LDR.
Having a unique use case doesn't mean it's still not an incredibly stupid product. Same as with smart door locks, smart safes, smart guns and smart "full self driving" cars.
