90% of people will fall back when they know the truth about the medieval virgin belt

Is the virgin belt real or is it just a product of myths? The answer is.

Speaking of the virgin belt, many people will immediately remember the old story in the Middle Ages.

The chastity belt is believed by many to be a measure of women's faithfulness.

It is said that there was an ancient Chinese man before he had to go home from war, using a virgin belt to lock his wife's genitals to ensure that she could not deceive him from having sex with others. And of course, the key of the belt also followed him to the battlefield.

However, no woman could tolerate wearing this virgin belt for more than a few days as an essential accessory and she died of infection.

As the years passed, the chastity belt was widely believed to be a measure of women's faithfulness.

However, according to experts, the source of this medieval virgin belt is just a "fake" story.

The first drawing of a virgin belt in history.

Dr. David Reuben, a doctor and surgeon, described the chastity belt being kept at the Museum, the medieval gallery.

Accordingly, the virgin belt is an iron-covered bikini with a front shield to urinate and a 2cm thick metal cover over the vagina. It represents the violence of men during this period.

However, many researchers believe that virgin belts have never been used for this purpose but only exist in myths.

The virgin belt is an iron-covered bikini with a front shield to urinate and a 2cm thick metal cover over the vagina.

Albrecht Classen, author of "The Middle Ages: A Illusionary Process" shared with Time that this chastity belt was first mentioned in a Konrad Kyeser essay in 1405.

According to Classen, Kyeser is a German engineer and artist, the concept for the virgin belt appears in the later part of his book.

Initially, they were thought to be one of Kyeser's jokes. And the later works when it comes to virginity belt are all allegorical, sarcastic.

Classen said: "There is no historical document, or any legal document that ever mentioned the virgin belt by perhaps the meaning behind this belt because they contradict modern medical research.

A woman can hardly survive a fever after a few days wearing this virgin chastity belt because they get into hygiene and health problems too. "

Lesley Smith - a historian in the late 16th century and the manager of Tutbury castle in the United Kingdom agreed with Classen's opinion.

There is no historical document, or any legal document that ever mentioned the virgin belt.

In an article in 2007 published in the British Journal of Medicine, she wrote: "I traveled quite a lot of places, learning about the origin of art collections but have not seen a proper virginity belt - It is from the Middle Ages. But the tendency to believe in the myth of the virgin belt is understandable. "

Sarah Bond, associate professor of classical school studies at the University of Iowa (USA), said that historians of the previous century believed that the virgin belt was real because it was attached to the family's power structure.

He said: "The chastity belt mainly appears only in the Renaissance novels and in the early times as the evocative image of the Middle Ages before.

The idea that a man locked his wife with a metal belt to prevent them from having an affair was a myth that was set up to justify the lack of civilization in the earlier period. "
