I think that would be a bit vulgar. (Or is it a byte vulgar?) Maybe an Iron Mask would be more on-target. Sensory deprivation is a better analogy than sexual deprivation. There was a joke a couple years ago about the hypothetical "DRM helmet". If you go with chastity belts, I think a lot of hackers won't get it, because they are living in a state of perpetual sexual deprivation anyway. Which brings us to another point: you'd have to get the chastity belts onto WOMEN, and Dog knows we haven't got any even for demo purposes.
