A chastity piercing is a type of body piercing that is meant to prevent sexual activity in order to preserve and impose chastity. For females, a device or ring can be placed over the labia, blocking sexual intercourse or activity. Further, a similar practice can be done with the clitoris to prevent clitoral stimulation. For men, chastity can be enforced by piercing the foreskin so that it is closed, piercing the penis and putting a lock through, or piercing the penis and locking it so that an erection is stopped.
