Simon Hi everyone and thanks for your earnest comments, some of which had good insights, some of which prompted me to put my device in a drawer.
I have found myself well able to live chastely without it - more able in fact.
So I guess the takeaway is to not take too seriously the views and opinions of people who need to lock themselves away from their own genitala
I think this partly depends on the level and extent of the commitment. Anyone can of course rdecide to go without sex without a device at all. But rhen the decision can also change at any time at bthe drop of a hat.
That's fine for some situations, but others require something more permanent, in which case a secure device is the perfect way to achieve this, expecially if there can be another who will keep the keys as act as enforcer.
And it can apply to either gender.
Getting to achieve this situation is not always a simple matter, and can need some lateral thinking; but where there's a will there's a way.
It all depends what is wanted.
