Product review: nearly killed us or destroyed my nads.

[Anymouse]

A problem arose with my chastity belt, but you have to get the background to understand how it happened. Don't let this happen to you:

A few days ago, the stop light switch plunger behind my brake pedal melted against the pedal arm on my car it is so hot here.

That killed my car battery.

When I figured out what had happened, I put a new switch on order (there are no foreign cars in this county except mine so it will take a week or so). In the meantime, I overthought the problem of how to drive the car, and came up with a nearly-fatal solution, as I am a Romance editor and electronics technician, not an automobile safety expert.

Way up high on the brake pedal arm is the tang which sticks out to depress the stop switch plunger. A small nubbin of the plunger remained.

So I stuck a clothespin on the tang. Voila. Brake pedal traveled fine, the clothespin depressed the plunger pin, and the stop lights went out. Battery held a charge over the next two days with the car parked on the street. (We don’t travel a lot.)

What I didn’t notice was because the clothespin was so high up on the brake pedal arm, the brake pedal was depressed about an inch. That meant the brakes were ever-so-lightly applied. Not enough to notice right away, though

My battery came in today. So my wife and I jumped in the car with my new temporary fix, and drove the sixteen miles to town.

When I tried to stop, the brakes locked up in the auto parts store parking lot. Way overheated.

It was then I figured out what had happened, after looking at the brake pedal and comparing it to the clutch pedal. I removed the clothespin, and the brake pedal popped up even with the clutch pedal.

So we sat out the afternoon at a restaurant next door while the brakes cooled sufficiently to drive the car home.

In the meantime, I noticed my chastity belt, worn now for the first time out of town (we don't get out much), was cutting into my legs very painfully. I didn’t understand this.

My wife then wanted to go shopping at the grocery store, since we were in town anyway. Eighty dollars worth of groceries later (in truth we needed them, but I was really hurting now), we left for home, sixteen miles of agony. She was unaware of my difficulties.

When I got home, the chastity belt came off. The rubber seal around the metal edge of the cup had come off. This shouldn’t have happened, but it did because hanging upside-down under my dashboard looking at the brake pedal arm on the car had forced the rear shield screw retainer clip off the cup, dragging the rubber bumper with it.

That bumper then loosed itself gradually from the cup.

I was uninjured, as the belt did not stay on long enough to do harm. I pounded the clip back onto the cup with a claw hammer, and replaced the belt after fixing up the bumper.

So I don’t recommend this belt for unusual or acrobatic activity, but otherwise I am fine now.

Moral: don’t let James near anything resembling mechanics. – James, in Wyobraska’s hinterlands.

Well, nothing is convenient around here. Unless you like tumbleweed soup. Tumbleweeds are convenient, just go out in my yard and pull 'em up.

I am in the CB-6000S for the moment, as it appears the belt did make my legs sore. No more climbing around under the dash while belted.

In reality, this is a relatively inexpensive belt. One cannot expect all the engineering marvels put into something more expensive, say a Neosteel. (That is on the wish list: perhaps an anniversary gift from Miss BethK?)

Depending on how hot the brake discs got you may have a glaze built upon them that can reduce their efficiency somewhat (defo in the wet not that it sounds like you're gonna see much rain there right now!) Maybe woth having them de-glazed if needed. Glad no serious harm has come to you though.

The mechanic inspected them after replacing the switch - they're okay.
