This will answer a few questions. Laura, you asked if I wore the accessories during my engagement. Yes, as I'll explain.
Vanessa asked about the second reason for the belt. I'm not sure this will make sense to anyone but me, but here it is: Once I said yes, he saw me in a new light. I wasn't just another girlfriend he was living with. I was to be his wife and, by tradition, I should come to the altar pure and virginal. The virginal part wasn't possible, but having me spend our engagement pure was as close as could be arranged under the circumstances.
The locked belt was his way of accomplishing it. The accessories - thighbands, chastity bras, and some other things - he used them all at different times to ensure that everything was out reach, depending on the the circumstances.
He is a very thoughtful lover and, prior to our engagement, we had a very active and completely satisfying sex life. Putting that on hold was a most unwelcome change. Being kept absolutely pure was absolutely hell. For the first several months, it was so frustrating I thought I would go mad. It was a long engagement and felt even longer.
I can't say I came to the altar as a virgin, but when the time finally came, I arrived with only a very distant and vague memory of an orgasm. When my maid of honor laced me into my wedding gown, I felt as almost as innocent of vaginal sex as a proverbial convent girl. The apparatus worked as intended. Our honeymoon was amazing.
Sara, you asked about rules and protocols. The rules are simple: he makes them, I follow them. For the most part, it's impossible for me not to follow them. As for protocols, I'm not sure I understand. Are there any specific questions you have?
Retina, you asked about my belt wardrobe. I have several. I dread the thought of a UTI, so I keep everything scrupulously clean. I don't understand why someone thought the dishwasher was amusing, it's the best way I know. The dishwasher cleans and drys. Followed with a careful alcohol wipe and the belt is completely disinfected. If someone knows a better way, please tell me.
