The 'Chastity Garter' comes equipped with a hidden microchip which can spot a rapidly rising pulse rate as well as surface moisture levels on the skin. As soon as these apparent signals of sexual stimulation occur a text message is sent to alert the woman's husband or boyfriend.

Cynics might also argue that all a cheating woman has to do is take the garter off - but it can't be removed without an automatic text message being sent.

Priced between £60 and £75, the band is the brainchild of husband-and-wife team Edward and Lucinda Hale. They came up with the idea after infidelity threatened their own relationship.

Mr Hale said: 'A few years ago our relationship nearly fell apart when Lucinda cheated with another man. She told me how much she regretted it and wished there was a way of removing the temptation by making the act of straying impossible to go through with. So we set about designing a product which would help us - and more importantly help millions of other couples around the world in need of extra reassurance that their wife or girlfriend is being chaste.'

Mr Edward, who runs website GorgeousGarters.com with his wife, added: 'The business has been a roaring success. A gypsy businessman even came to our warehouse wanting to buy 100 garters for cash to sell on to the travelling community at fairs and weddings - so we were more than happy to oblige.'

The Chastity Garter has two designs - Chastity Lace and Chastity Silk.

If that's just another ploy to have women wear garters, it's a bit of a lame one.....

A doll wearing a dark blue suit and red tie, and with Mr Obama's face carefully screen-printed onto its head, was exhibited at the recent 8th Sex Culture Festival in the southern city of Guangzhou.

Mr Obama is widely popular in China, and the picture of the Obama doll, which circulated on the Chinese internet, drew an wide array of responses. "How could they place the US president behind those other poorly-made models. He is the head of a big country, after all," wrote one anonymous commentator on the Netease internet forum.

"Why can't we have a Mao Tse-tung toy?" asked another.

Hiromi Ozaki's alter-ego is Sputniko!, a Japanese pop star whose music, videos, performances and electronic devices explore themes of technology, gender and pop culture.

Hiromi is the author of devices such as the Pénis Cybernétique, a motorised penis which moves up and down based on her heartbeat and Crowbot Jenny, a dark-haired girl who goes around urban park carrying on her shoulder a crow-shaped robot that can communicate with crows and turn them into a bird army.

More than just a gadget, a video, a song, Sputniko! creates a whole character with its own manga-inspired aesthetics, attributes, super-powers and dynamics. Each of her projects has been produced in collaboration with scientists experts in Zoology, Medicine and Reproductive Science.

She received a lot of press fame recently thanks to her Menstruation Machine, Takashi's Take.

Fitted with a blood dispensing mechanism and lower-abdomen-stimulating electrodes (the same used by your uncle to muscle his abs while watching tv on the sofa, only that Hiromi maxed out the power of the contractions), the Menstruation Machine simulates the pain and bleeding of an average 5 day menstruation.

The machine could be worn by men who desire to feel closer to women and experience what they have to go through, but also by women when menstruation becomes obsolete in the future and the process becomes a mere ritual of gender and identity.

The artist made a music video to illustrate how and by whom the machine can be used.

The video 'Menstruation Machine - Takashi's Take' stars Takashi, a boy who builds the machine in an attempt to understand better what the girls he hang around with experience every month.
