b'According to legends of the Middle Ages, knights used\\xa0the chastity belt on their wives\\xa0as an anti-temptation device before embarking on the\\xa0Crusades.\\xa0When the knight\\xa0left for the Holy Lands, his Lady would wear a chastity belt to preserve her\\xa0faithfulness\\xa0to him. The metal teeth that surrounded her "credentials" would also tear to shreds the member of any would-be seducer. However, there is no reliable\\xa0evidence that chastity belts existed before the 15th century. Any reference to them is likely symbolic or a satirical drawing. No actual medieval chastity belt survives, and those that appear in museums are forgeries. Were they ever in use at all? If not, how did the legend appear?
