chastity belt

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one can prevent it' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'bum itchy? with tablets' is the wordplay.
'bum' indicates an anagram (bum can mean faulty or wrong).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'itchy'+'tablets'='itchytablets'
'itchytablets' with letters rearranged gives 'CHASTITY BELT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chastity belt that I've seen before include "Medieval contraceptive device" , "device locked by an untrusting husband" , "Medieval device for keeping wives under control?" , "Device designed to keep a woman celibate" , "Device promoting fidelity" .)
