Virtue Key

About 100 years ago, some men required their wives to wear locked undergarments when they went away, to ensure they remain faithful to them. Virtue Keys locked them, and the husbands entrusted them to their closest and most trusted friends. However this process brought the opposite result; ladies wanting to get rid of those uncomfortable garments, did everything to persuade those men to relieve them, so illicit romances began this way, and the lovers were careful to replace the device before the husband's return; however the Virtue Key remained to the possession of the "friend".

After usage, these locks were used on abandoned wells, and the illicit lovers would use it to exchange secret love letters. After the chastity belts became obsolete, in the following century the Virtue Keys locks were used to protect valuable items.

Usage
