The politics of contraception helps sell chastity belts

By msnbc.com staff

Evidently lack of sex sells too. At least that seems to be the current strategy of Republican presidential contender Rick Santorum, who recently has been making contraception a campaign issue.

To be plain: The candidate has said that he would not seek to ban the pill, though perhaps it would be cool if the states did. Vanity Fair asks the question if modern contraception was taken off the table (or counter, or nightstand, or purse, or bar bathroom) what would a country embracing the new traditional values do?

Their answer was to call makers of chastity belts. Of which, apparently, there is still quite the business (thanks, Internet, we guess). According to one maker, ?we?ve had a boost? in sales in the current political climate.

Read Vanity Fair?s (exceedingly brief) interview with a chastity belt maker here.

(Oh, and boss, all those pictures now in the cache of our work PC ... strictly research related.?You assigned this piece after all.)
