Ed & His Chasti-Collar

The Chasti-Collar program is gaining in popularity; it's estimated that approximately 45% of all men in the UK have joined the program.

The Chasti-Collar program was quite simple at heart: it's a voluntary program where men can volunteer to be fitted with a secure chastity device and an electronically linked collar. The scheme's popularity was being driven by women, in that they could choose to only go on dates with men in the program so they could have safer dates, leading to a significant reduction in sexual violence across the country. The collar will display the colour status of the male. There are a number of statuses, but the most common ones are:

- Red: unable to seek new relationships due to already being in some form of relationship.

- Orange: Single, but has not received a significant amount of good sexual feedback.

- Green: Single, and has received a high proportion and amount of good sexual feedback.

- Purple: Unable to seek new relationships due to being on a relationship cool down.

- Yellow: Not currently seeking a relationship.

It became desirable to seek a man in the program not just due to the reduced risk of sexual violence, but it offered women a lot more control in relationships due to:

- Men not being able to cheat on their partners

- Partners being able to log feedback about sexual relationships

- Potential partners being able to read feedback left by previous partners (if requested and the request is accepted by the male)

- A cool-down period if a relationship ends. This is agreed upon by both parties at the start of the relationship, but most women prefer it within the region of 50%-200% of the length of the relationship. This ensures that men were committing to their partners and not just looking for a one-night stand.

As an orange male, Ed was very much regretting his decision. He'd now been without an orgasm in nearly two months. There are ways for males to gain releases without having a partner. As an orange male, Ed is entitled to a release once every 6 months from a Chasti-Collar facility, or if another woman grants him a voucher for release at the facility. Ed had already asked his two closest female friends if they would grant him one, even offering to pay them money to grant him a release; however, they had both declined as they were in relationships with other men.

Ed joined the program as when he had asked Emma out, she declined, advising that she would only consider dating men that have joined the program. After he joined the program, he asked her out again, and she accepted. The pair dated for a few weeks, but Emma broke it off after deciding that it wouldn't work out, leaving him on purple for a little while before being returned to an orange status.

Ed had just ordered a pint at the bar when an attractive 20-something redhead woman pulled up a stool next to him, ordering a double G&T.

"Mind if I sit here?", she asked, "it's rammed in here tonight!".

"Not at all," Ed replied, "I could use the company."

"Your orange status is getting you down is it?"

"A little, if I'm honest, it's been a little while for me."

"Oh, you poor thing. I've not really dated a Chasti-Collar guy before. It seemed a bit unfair to me on men when it first came out, but now most men I meet are in the scheme, so I guess it can't be that bad."

"It definitely feels unfair to me; I very much regret signing up for the program, but it's too late now. The only way I can leave the program is to have a partner for more than 2 years where they authorise it, but I think the program is new enough that that's pretty much unheard of."

"Well, I'll tell you what, you cover my drink and buy us some shots each, and we'll see if we can turn you a different colour."

"Deal!" Ed said abruptly, shortly followed by, "Sounds fair to me. My name's Ed by the way", attempting to sound a little less desperate, offering his hand.

"Daisy," she replied, firmly grasping his hand and giving it a quick shake.

The conversation progressed over the next couple of hours, with them both talking about work and what their plans for Christmas were. Eventually their conversation turned back towards the Chasti-Collar program.

"So," Daisy began, "if say I wanted to go further with you tonight - and I'm not saying I do - but if I did, what would I need to do in order to 'access' you?"

"Well, I think first of all you would need to setup a profile on the Chasti-Collar app. I think you might need to verify or something, but then I send you a relationship request. Once you receive the request, you can send a response to the request, setting the terms of the relationship, which I can then accept."

"What do you mean setting the terms?"

"So you can choose whether or not it's an open relationship, how long I am purple for if we break up, that sort of thing."

"What if I only want you for tonight?"

"Then you can just end the relationship in the morning."

"Oh, I see. In that case, you book a taxi back to your place, and I will start downloading the app," she chuckled and giving him a quick peck on the lips. "I'm just going to freshen up, I'll be back in a few minutes."
