Jen I don't mind it in bed at night. It bugs me most when I'm trying to exercise. At that point, yeah, but for the lock, I'd take it off. But the lock on my belt is there to prevent exactly this. A momentary feeling should not be able to overrule my considered (and excellent) choice of chastity.
Jen
Maybe I is less about the metal itself but about your attitude?
If you are certain that is what you want, then embrace it mentally. Stop thinking of the metal as limiting you or you being locked in.
Rather think of it as being a part of what you are now, much like glasses.
In that regard, 24/7 wearers are probably in advantage, because they just get used to it. When you do have the comparison between belted and free all the time it becomes much harder to accept the belted state as 'normal' for yourself.
try to stay calm and make the best of it. you know why you wear the belt and that's the most important thing. there are always good and bad situations, the momentum can tip one way or the other, but it's ultimately a head thing. it's just like running (@Avery will confirm this), even if you're physically fit the head has to play along, but if you tell yourself "i can do this, i can get through this" then you're the winner.

One thing I've learned is that you have to take care of yourself. If you do, the whole world looks better. Eat right, get proper rest, get some exercise, buy yourself something to wear, read a good book, meditate.
I don't think we've ever talked about proper rest. The American football coach Vince Lombardi used to say "fatigue makes cowards of us all". He was talking about contact sports, but I've found rest helps me stay on the chastity path. If you're over tired things are just harder, darker, you're more likely to get discouraged.
So keep practicing self care.
Jen Did you choose to be put in chastity?
CharInChastity yes - every day
Angelina may i ask how you found out?
At the site you get redirected to, pollsters.com, they say that if you become a member you can find out how to still access the old forum. Since I am still checking new results from my polls there, I did that, but didn't get a clear answer. The internet search I did next helped me better.
Jen I’m trying to understand that perspective on the forum. If you choose to be in chastity then why do you need the chastity? The chastity belt is to prevent sex, but if your choosing to wear it then why does it even need to be locked?
CharInChastity The chastity belt is to prevent sex, but if your choosing to wear it then why does it even need to be locked?
because every girl has moments when she is overcome by sexual feelings, the belt helps the volunteers here that these feelings do not lead them to do something (sex, masturbation) that they do not want to do.
CharInChastity it's a break from controlling myself, like permission to feel sexual. And other things to - like alcohol - I never drink without my belt.
Angelina in usa 16 year olds can’t drink so I’m belted and cant even enjoy that.
