There is more information on the Arab Strap in the disambiguation than there is in this stub. But I'm not gonna do it.. :P 24.159.216.204 17:56, 27 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I will. // Utilitaritron

Curiosity got me digging on the web, and left me with more questions than answers. This name is apparently used for two different (human) sex devices: one for maintaining an erection, the other for chastity play. The erection maintainer is cheaper and looks similar to a generic cock/ball harness. The chastity play version has a single metal 1.25" ring that goes near the head of the cock, with leather 2.25" - 5" straps running from it to a leather ring secured behind the balls (note - the measurements would place the straps/ring about halfway up the shaft, making penetration difficult). There are many unanswered questions. What, if anything, does this device have to do with Arabs? What about the rumor that this name was used for a masturbation device breeders used on (arabian) horses? Or is the name simply something someone invented, that doesn't have any history? Why are there at least two styles, and which style (if any) is the original?

I believe/hope the cockring is the original one. The mock up cock is too fancy.--145.99.202.92 22:46, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Restored description, based on checking top Google hits, and added awful warning. Believe me, you really don't want to have to look at a picture of a necrotic penis when researching this. -- The Anome 14:18, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Jesus Christ, how about Dave down the pub circa 2003. Pedants. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.70.244.164 (talk) 16:26, 25 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

How about some educational sex-ed books? How about some scholarly papers on sadomasochism? How about some magazine articles about sex toys? References exist for any encyclopedic topic, don't be so cynical. -- œ ^™ 21:13, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Name?

From where it got this name? "ARAB" strap? -20 or 30 years from now there will be devices like THE INDIAN CHILLY STRAP! lol —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.231.248.122 (talk) 01:06, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

History

Can we have some information on who invented the arab strap? How it came about? It would make this article more complete and give it a sense of history. --78.86.159.199 (talk) 20:38, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Picture

Anyone got a decent picture of one? This would certainly help illustrate what one is! Fitz05 (talk) 21:07, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

Since when does one of the most obscure sex toys merit notability on wikipedia? not only it is obscure, the name is offensive, and the offensive nature of the name may be because it might be a hoax. There is only one reference, an obscure book. Shouldn't this article be deleted for not being notable?Haydar Haydar (talk) 20:08, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting page. It is difficult to visualize the device; a picture would be useful. Section on the history of the device would be a welcome addition, and the whole of the page needs refs.
