Maija No not really. I know of two other girls who wear or did wear. But it's not a super public thing, just because our parents are close church friends.

      hanatan Welcom. You will probably get a lot of questions but feel free to share as much or as little as you are comfortable with. Also, feel free to ask any questions you have.

          Welcome Hana. When in doubt, please always assume our questions and comments are not directed against you.

          PigtailSam Combination of things, included privileges and money. Also it helps my relationship with my parents, and at least at the start there were some convincing moral arguments that are less convincing with age (hence reluctance).

              Damien It gets removed every morning for me to take a supervised shower. It also comes off for various sports activities. Other than that I am always wearing. Coping is relative. I find it extremely frustrating at times, and then I can't cope really, especially early on but even now I do get mad/cry about it/try to cheat it but I have gotten better at distracting myself in those times. still farrrr from perfect tho lol. Other times it just exists and doesn't frustrate me except for being inconvenient/uncomfortable. Rarely I am glad to have it for some times I need to focus.

                  Damien I have zero idea, I might vent sometime but mostly I just wanted to get the awkward intro out of the way and will use the board when I feel like it I guess.

                    pestulens My parents would like me to wear until marriage, I would like to stop sooner. I think at some point if I can support myself I will stop.

                      What convincing moral argument did they use?
                      And did they say if you should wear it until end of school, UNI, or marriage?

                          Joh First of all I was/have been/maybe still am also religious, and I believe(d?) that it was a good thing to be pure. The Church preaches the law of chastity as one of its big pillars especially to young people. And the reason for the initiation of chastity was what I fully acknowledge was too much time spent enjoying porn. And I do believe I was unhealthy about it and that sort of quitting cold turkey was a reasonable thing. So both those things convinced me.

                          Of course now I think I have more self control, and my faith waivers.
