curious If I remember correctly, any depiction of a minor, real or animated is illegal in Canada, and I’d imagine similar laws exist in other countries as well.
Could certainly fuel an entire debate over whether a depiction of a fictional character is or isn’t illegal, can see both sides honestly

      Definitely a complex question where people are very prone to knee-jerk responses that are too one-sided to really reflect the complexity. But I am not sure if a forum that is trying to defend itself against people using it to share their CSA fantasies is the right venue to have that debate.

          WriterAlexis Some people are also in favor of the Confederate States of America. In the interest of peace, I will avoid placing those on a value scale.

            youdontknowme Ines's objective is to change that reputation and create a place to talk about practicalities of real long-term chastity belt use, the diverse uses of chastity belts outside of BDSM relationships and more

            and I share this goal, but I think that the current politics in the forum will lead to the opposite. Unfortunately I can't answer your other arguments because I don't know what CSA means?

            I would like to help you and want you to feel welcome, unfortunately my hands are tied, I can't do it without violating the rules of the forum

            curious But what if AI can provide for the demand without children being affected?

            This is actually completely unnecessary, fantasy arises in the head and no matter what we do, we will not be able to control other people's thoughts. Otherwise I agree with you

            Ines Usually never was possible.

            Of course it was, that's the reason why I joined this forum back then so that I could talk about my problems without sexualization. This community helped me a lot back then and I hope it helps other people too. And Ines, I like you, I appreciate your work and believe that you are fighting for the right goals. The fact is that the community is unfortunately no longer open to some discussions that would be important. I don't want to attack you, I want to give you and all other users something to think about so that everyone can feel welcome again. If we no longer allow this, exactly the opposite of what we want will happen, then we will become another SM community

                      Angelina Of course it was, that's the reason why I joined this forum back then so that I could talk about my problems without sexualization

                      I disagree. Something that prevent sex is sexual in nature. It's like asking to speak of atheism pretending to avoid religion. Chastity belts are meant to prevent sexual acts. Of course is sex. see masturbation topic. In no other sexual forum there is so talking about masturbation than this.
                      If chastity belt was meant as a medical device, than you can ask for neutrality, but an item whose purpose is to prevent the wearer from doing sex is definitely sexual, and minors should stay away.

                          Milord Can also argue that preventing what I was engaged in in this way, while unconventional would have been in my best interest.
                          Not saying it’s right, but there’s always multiple interpretations

                              Sasha
                              I'm sorry but I can't understand how your words are tied to chastity belt and sexualization. Can you help me?

                                  Milord Yes it would be tied to my sexuality, what I’m saying is that if I’d be pushed in that direction it could be seen as positive.
                                  Again, just playing devils advocate it’s never ok to force it

                                      Sasha
                                      I like to be challenged. Still you have to admit that your case is unique, and hardly can be a lawful base to create a policy. It's too personal.

                                          Angelina Unfortunately I can't answer your other arguments because I don't know what CSA means?

                                          Already explained it above.

                                          Angelina unfortunately my hands are tied

                                          I was about to make a joke out of that, but between your past experiences and the fact that minors are actively present in this thread, better not.

                                          Milord your case is unique, and hardly can be a lawful base to create a policy

                                          Maybe we really need Prudence's chastity court. Wonder if Sasha would be interested in submitting her case, or if that fake court is too silly for someone who has spent a lot of time in real court for reasons that also involve her belt.

                                                  Milord I would say when another person controls whether you can have sex, there is a sexual component in that. Not sure that is a dealbreaker for platonic and familial keyholding, but it is a complication those dynamics have to handle.

                                                      youdontknowme you can see it in this forum. See how many posts there are about masturbation. Not even in a sex forum there is this amount of conversation on this topic. But it's normal, it's not an anomaly at all. I can totally understand. Just let's avoid thinking that the whole chastity belting is not about sexuality.
