GPS Lingerie: A High Tech Chastity Belt

I must admit I see a tremendous upside in pressing a button and knowing at all times where my wife is, thanks to a radio signal emitted from her underwear.

She works long hours, takes classes at night, and occasionally forgets or mutes her cell phone. And then there's the novelty: I'm a guy. I love gadgets.

But I've got to agree with feminists who are wringing their hands over "Find Me If You Can" lingerie, a $1,000 bra-and-panty set from Brazilian designer Lucia Lorio with a tiny GPS system nested in the fabric.

What a sad commentary on modern living. Must cutting edge consumer electronics bring to market a newfangled chastity belt, simply because it can?

The manufacturer feels otherwise. "This collection . . . is a wink to women and a challenge to men," Lorio tells the Daily Mail.

"Even if she gives him the password to her GPS, she can always turn it off."

That's ironic because I can't think of a bigger turn off for a woman than planting spy gear in her skivvies.

I wonder what my wife thinks about this. I'll just have to wait until she comes home, because as a hip, contemporary, self-assured, 21st century man, I don't keep her under 24/7 surveillance. That's what weekends are for.
