Series Bible for the CARGO Permanent Chastity and Femdom'verse of Bradley Jones and Shona...
How permanent chastity on the NHS came to be.
In case you’re curious, or want to imagine your own chaste adventures, here’s how the world of Bradley Jones works.
NB This is not by any means a manifesto, or a Utopia, and the world building is focussed on supporting het male chastity erotica about relationships. Other things, good and bad, will also be going on that are not mentioned here!
In an alternate UK not so far from you…
The CARGO ACT
The point of departure is around 2011, when the UK electoral system was reformed, leading to a series of coalition governments. A series of plausible but sometimes cynically partisan steps led to Chaste becoming an identity supported by the NHS….
The Consenting Adults Relationships, Gender and Orientation Act ("CARGO"), is the legacy of the unlikely coalition of conservative and progressive parties resulting from the UK’s 2011 electoral reform. CARGO mandates opt-out laws supporting "traditional" marriage, but also tremendous advances for LBGTQ+ rights and healthcare.
Unfortunately, during negotiations, each coalition partner’s “lunatic fringe” pushed radical amendments, which were in turn gleefully supported by trolls on the other side.
Thus, CARGO's originally slightly retrograde opt-out marriage provisions ended up so shockingly backwards that even some conservatives call it the "Stepford Act".
Meanwhile, CARGO also created a roster of "identities" for men in male chastity devices, as long as these had been installed and verified by a specialist NHS clinic. Nobody took the Chaste Identities section of the bill seriously, so in a spectacular act of trolling, conservative coalition members conspired to remove checks and balances, and even added some punitive measures to make these identities “stable and long lasting”.
Fast forward fifteen years, and all this legislative bad faith has proven to be surprisingly popular. Traditional marriage suits the people who've chosen it, especially because the role of “head of household” is gender neutral and can be specified. Meanwhile, the NHS Chastity Service is booming.
(There are conspiracy theories that Artemis Futuristic, the global tech company with the contract to run the NHS chastity clinics, was behind much of CARGO, and even the electoral reform. However, nobody has ever caught them profiteering.
The CEO, “Artemis”, who is based in the woman-centred South American charter city she founded, seems to be genuinely altruistic. An Iranian former model turned entrepreneur, her original name is Shohreh Christian)
In other words, CARGO makes both chastity and power-exchange legally and socially real, creating the perfect setting for exploring chaste as an identity, and what adventures we might have.
Current Chaste Identities
The current chaste "identities" are:
Locked (Year 0-. Phased out by year 5. “Shona’s Surprising Slave”): A halfway house. The chastity device is a privately purchased (expensive!) Trial Variation and has three (3) keys. It also has a Red Button. Push the button and the lock simply falls off, leaving you sealed in. From CARGO year 1, you can register as Chaste or Neuter in order to establish a release date. Locked and Red Button devices were phased out after about 5 years due to bad publicity. (Some women kept pressing the red button…)
Chaste (Year 1, “Shona’s Surprising Slave”): The baseline identity. Sign up for a 5-year-term. In practice, it takes a little longer to schedule removal, and you had better not miss the appointment. Chastes must wear an official collar. If the collar is removed, they automatically become Neuter. (And yes, sometimes collars get non-consensually removed.)
Neuter (Year 1, “Shona’s Surprising Slave”): Open-ended, minimum ten years with waiting lists and counselling at the end of that. Neuters have the option to wear an official gold tinted glass collar. Once ten years is up, Neuters have the option to register to start the release process.
Capon (Year 10”.): Perpetual chastity and automatic CARGO subordinate status in all partnerships. There is no legal or safe way to remove this… intrusive device. Optional collar is jet black. Initial low uptake led to reintroduction of the Red Button Defive.
Locked+ (Year 15 “Sarah Makes Her Marriage Chaste”): As per Locked (Year 0), except pressing the red button makes you a Capon.
Collars
Collars have QR codes and holograms, to make counterfeiting difficult.
It is a criminal offence to wear a collar to which you have no right.
Some chastes decorate their collars with snap on bling. It’s not uncommon to cover the QR code when not interesting in dating.
It’s perfectly legal to remove a collar privately. However, if a Chaste presents at a clinic without a collar, they are registered as Neuter.
Chastity Devices: Installation and Removal
The standard Artemis Futuristic chastity devices are manufactured from hi-tech flesh-toned ceramic and can be worn indefinitely.
The ceramic is hyper-exothermic, meaning that cutting attempts generate heat that damages the penis.
The chastity devices are held in place by PA hooks and conventional base rings.
Orgasm is impossible due to a mysterious feature rumoured to be “something to do with pressure points in the foreskin replacement cap”. This applies to all and any stimulation including vibrator, probe, electrical stimulation and prostrate massage. On the first attempt, the penis hardens, then suddenly loses sensation and goes flaccid. Sensation takes several hours to restore, so erotic play focussing on teasing the penis is not possible.
The PA hooks go into neo-coral grommets so that the flesh of the penis heals into them. This prevents urine leakage and makes removal difficult.
Installation involves attending a counselling session at an NHS Chastity Clinic, then undergoing laser piercing and removal of foreskin.
Private consultations offer same day services.
Nano-tech wound gel makes healing almost instantaneous, so there is no waiting period between piercing and installation.
Removal requires more counselling, then an operation to cut out the PA hook. Normal sexual function is restored in most cases.
Very few surgeons are licenced to carry out this procedure.
Draconian IP law also allows Artemis Futuristic to sue anybody attempting unsanctioned disassembly of their proprietary chastity devices.
PR and Reputation
The official public narrative around Chastes is non-kinky and not necessarily sex positive. It ranges from "Having fun and learning to please women" to "Helping you focus during an important part of your life."
Where sexuality is explicitly addressed, the focus is on sensuality-seeking as an orientation. Some people frame chastes as demi-gender or queer, though this is debated.
However, the “CARGO generation” who’ve come to maturity once the act was established have a more pragmatic view of Chastes and the kinkiness surrounding them. New female identities are developing such as…
Huntress: Enjoys seducing chastes and leaving them horny.
Virago: Functionally bisexual, but only relates to men as submissive chastes.
Dating and HrLckr (no official pronunciation)
In fact, a surprising number of women do like chastes.
The reasons are mostly vanilla. Chaste status more or less guarantees a minimum standard of hookup:
HrLckr reviews weed out the weirdos.
Chaste’s can’t pursue their own instant gratification
The sacrifice chastes make certifies a service-attitude.
Penetration is optional and customised with a range of prosthetic substitutes to be enjoyed and for as long or as short a duration as desired.
(Of course, some women do get a kinky kick out of a compliant lover who can’t orgasm…)
HrLckr is an app like Uber, but for women who like chastes. Most women won't want to mess with a chaste off-app.
Chastes register for free, subject to verification by a HrLckr agent, usually a part-time freelancer. The agent may act as keyholder for Locked Chastes.
A chaste’s HrLckr profile includes reviews and an overall star rating (subject to an algorithm to correct for overly negative female members). There are the usual dating preference options. Dates are arranged by invite, or acknowledged retrospectively via “Hook Up Reviews”, the one kind of review a male can refuse.
Women HrLckr Members are also subject to verification and must pay a yearly fee (there is a discount for students). Women go by their nicknames. These aren’t unique, but are only differentiated by serial number for each male member, e.g. I might have HotBabe#1 and HotBabe#2 on my app, but the same women could be HotBabe#2 and HotBabe#1 on yours. This makes it hard for chastes to share information on women users online— which is against terms of service anyway.
The LckHr app supports a range of exclusive arrangements, taking one or both parties off the market. Various terms and time periods are possible.
Neo-Traditional Marriages
“Gender agnostic” traditional marriages are a separate part of CARGO, but synergistic with chastity.
If you marry your chaste, and are the head of the household, you can actually sue other women for "alienation of affection". You also have the right to throw him out of the house, and until a divorce goes through, you control the shared bank account. He is effectively your slave.
Technology by year 20
Technology is conservative near-future except for medical advances such as wound treatment, laser piercings, omni-vaccine, male contraceptive implants, and brain scanning for psychopathy etc.
Typical Chaste Style
According to a friend of mine, Chaste is “essentially a healthier (no black circles, not emaciated, no actual smack), slightly more athletic (especially upper body strength etc needed for performative sexual athletics) throwback to 1990s male heroin chic.”
Black everything (jeans, probably a shirt not t-shirt, turtleneck for smart; some outerwear leather)
Straight hair with quite a bit of fringe; androgynous in design but obviously male still.
Some simple bling (silver or platinum for choice).
Razor cheekbones or makeup to achieve that effect (nowhere near New Romantic/Glam Rock levels).
