Currently, Amazon US has a chastity device at Number 12 in "Best Sellers in Bondage Gear & Accessories", with a paddle at number 11, and everything above that being basic bondage gear. However, no CBs feature in the Sexual Wellness top 100.

In 2017, male chastity devices werekink.com's top sellers in two US states.

I conclude that male chastity is at least mainstream with people who buy bondage gear...

@fancybondage I see you are a vendor. Are you able to give us a glimpse of the sales figures for chastity devices?

This is one of my products,I have 4 stores to sell chastity cage in DHgate,since I start selling chastity cage,I almost sold 2000pcs,I am top 10 chastity seller in Dhgate,and the first one to sell chastity cages those using magic locker-the lock in my this chastity cage.

Then other sellers copy my idea and start to sell this kind of cage.
And those cheap cages like $10-$15 is another factory products,I don't like to sell their products because I found their quality is not good,even the lock would be rusty.I found this weakpoints and be the first one to sell good separate locker.Other seller copy my idea again.
So I decide to build an individual online store www.fancybondage.com

According to my experience,I guess there would be at least 10000 cages sold from China per year.

Thanks @fancybondage! 10K Chinese cages a year! Wow.

However, over a ten year period, that's only 10% of the rumoured total sales for the CB-x range.

Do you have any idea where they are going? Mostly to America?

I don't know much about the Cb cage,but yes,most customers are from US and Australia.

Men in Australian, roughly 10 million.
Utterly dwarfed by USA adult male population of roughly 100 million, 50 million of working age.

So ten years of Chinese chastity sales gives us 0.1M, perhaps suggests 1 in 500 sexually interested Australian and US men own a cheap chastity device.

However, if most devices go to the USA and Australia, then the CBx estimate give us 1 in 50.

Hmmm...

I wonder if this is clumped anyway. Like if you are in an urban fairly liberal area, then chaste men are more like 1 in 20. But in hicksville, none at all.

Well, I live in 'Hicksville', so it's not 'none'. 30 years ago, or even 20, that might have been a somewhat accurate thought, but broadband internet and smart-phones with data plans have brought kink to almost everyone. Before CraigsList killed the personal ads, I noted that there was at least one other kinky couple right in my little town that is so small we don't even have a police department.

OK that spreads it out more evenly.

It does look as if there are still fewer locked men than gay ones. :(

Haha, well that’s not very surprising. There are also fewer men with genital piercings than gay ones. “Gay” is an orientation, “born this way”, really nothing people can do
about that. Chastity, or piercing ones dick, is very much a choice. Often a heartfelt one that becomes part of identity, and still a choice. One that runs contrary to expected gender norms in the US, in case of chastity. I’m not surprised it’s a smaller cohort; I am pleasantly surprised it’s as large as it seems to be.
