Chaste in Borneo – the summary

(100th world record attempt)

Attempting any world record can be fraught with danger, as you face the unknown and potential
discomfort and injury. It takes weeks of preparation and practise to ensure you have the best chance of
gaining the world record.

Imagine putting yourself through that not once, but over 100 times! Well, in the case of Al Galpin, he
decided to choose something a little obscure and peculiar for the attempt to gain his 100th world record.
Whereas most people would think of a family fun event, this guy decided to lock up a sensitive part of his
body in a chastity device and then venture around one of the largest islands on earth.

Not only would the record attempt involve his navigating around an island without using any air transport
- and on a budget, meaning that much of the journey would have to involve hitchhiking. There were also
the potential pitfalls of travelling on his own in a part of the world unfamiliar to him, with limited
knowledge of the language, and the chance of being seen as offending the mainly Muslim population!

Comments on the internet warned about the dangers of spending too long in a chastity device. Some men,
according to online forums, had struggled to keep theirs on for a matter of a few days – they can
apparently focus men’s attention on their sexual anatomy and as a result can heighten sexual awareness.

Madness? People think so, but many also admire Al’s pluck.

A journey encompassing 8,000 km / 5,000 miles spread out over 37 days didn’t leave much room for
manoeuvre, and the chastity device left even less room. So how did Al find his journey?

“Overall, my biggest challenge was the language barrier. I can speak little more than a smattering
of Bahasa (Indonesia’s national language) and misunderstandings were a predictable feature of
every day. This cost me time and money on many occasions. I also worried that I might find
myself in a situation where officialdom may require me to remove the device, especially if a
community took offence to my bizarre activity. I had to be alert to this hazard constantly and my
anxiety in this regard intensified as I got close to the planned finish location, Banjarmasin. As you
can imagine, repeat thoughts of wanting to rip off the chastity device and throw it into the
roadside vegetation became more frequent as my trip approached day 37. But, by applying mental
determination, I overrode this thought each time it arose because I knew that giving up would
herald me as less than the man I truly am.”

“Wearing the CB-X Male Chastity device made me feel like a traveller with an important
purpose. Indeed my journey became just that, because Indonesian media began publishing my
aim as showing that a foreign white man can visit this nation and enjoy themselves without
engaging in sex tourism. As media spread this message, I proceeded with confidence because I
was helping to make a statement of importance here. It is well known that Indonesians don’t
appreciate their country being viewed as a sleazy destination, and I agree with that. This aside, I
was enjoying the public attention for the sake of another world record attempt; I’m into that at
any time!”

“I landed myself in a few adventures too, and they’re how I’ll remember this great hitchhiking
trip. The Indonesian police were so lovely to me, delicious foods were cheap and plentiful, and I
enjoyed spending time in some spectacular nature. People everywhere came across as genuine
and generous, and their welcomes meant I was presented with opportunity. Crossing from
Singkawang to Kuching turned out to be a great time in the mud at night, and visiting Tabin
Wildlife Reserve was a wonderful respite from travel on main roads. These and more experiences
like them came my way, I’m sure, because of the hospitality of the communities I passed through.
People and what they do, I think, is a major determinant of how a visitor interprets a place they
visit for the first time. That’s left me with this impression of Borneo and its surrounding regions: I
like it.”

“Throughout my journey, I attracted comments. A passenger on the Surabaya-Banjarmasin ocean
crossing wrote me a letter of admiration, ladies in all three nations comprising Borneo asked to
take photos with me and some wanted to shake my hand or be hugged, and I heard the term “he’s
crazy” so many times I soon learned how to say that in Bahasa. Men and women alike stared at
me with great suspicion and some questioned me harshly as if I was under interrogation. I was
constantly amused by the never-ending varied reactions of the public.”

“My closing thoughts on what I’ve just done are numerous. I’m extremely pleased I had the
opportunity to venture across Borneo, an island I’ve longed to see for years, and enjoyed the
hospitality of its inhabitants. It’s certainly clarified my impressions of the place as far as its
environmental stability, level of development and social dynamics are concerned. Upon
concluding the event in Banjarmasin, media has distributed considerable coverage of what I
embarked on – I’m pleased because this is an excellent way of having more interest in my
activities created.”

A summary of the world record attempt appears on Al’s WorldRecordChase.com website and updates
published by Al as he undertook his momentous journey appear on WorldRecordChaseBlog.com. In
addition, the media release can be read here.

Overall, says Al, he’s not so sure chastity is his new passion. He’s done it, and done it well, but now it’s
time to look toward horizons in other sectors. He’s currently being whisked from one decision-maker’s
office to the next across the southern part of Borneo, so you may see a large world record event unfold
there in the near future. That said, Al remains open to project proposals. So if you’re equally quirky, he’d
enjoy hearing from you.

Before you go your way and resume your (more meaningful?) life, spare a thought for Al. The next great
event in his life is offering the CB-3000 Male Chastity device which he used for auction on eBay.
Whether you’re a collector of phallic fetishes, a general curiosity hoarder, or simply wish to own the
product of an unusual world record attempt, this may be an opportunity for you to feel part of Al’s very
special 100th world record attempt. He’ll be sad to see the CB-3000 go, but if it’s to you – or to any good
home – he’ll be proud to hand it over.

The winning bidder will have plenty in this memento package:
 the actual CB-3000 Male Chastity device used for Al’s 100th world record attempt, complete
with dry glue and the fishing line still attached,
 video of Al handling the chastity device so you know it’s the genuine article,
 a selection of photos you’ll become the copyright owner of,
 clumps of the hard epoxy in which the original signatures were embedded,
 a copy of the world record rules,

 a unique autograph bearing the winning bidder’s name.

Al’s in the process of submitting the world record attempt evidence. If he’s granted the title, you’ll get a
copy of the official certificate too.

Does that sound like a temptation that’ll get you excited? There’s no need to panic – it’s all here
