Laura No, not really.
But what would you say about a man who still lives at home with mommy when he is 30? Would that be your ideal partner? @Vanessa is much younger by the way.

      a_father Why, do you have cats?

      No, but you have some strange ideas.

      a_father perhapse you should move out and start your own life

      She doesn't want to.

            Laura You said, you'd ask a 30 year old man for his reason to live still at home. What about your reasons? (Question now clear?)

                I feel like the desire to end virginity is not a good reason for marriage! Alas, you seem to be rather permanently disabled from solving this problem all the normal ways. I assume your parents cannot be persuaded to give you a time-out; it would undermine the entire purpose of keeping you belted to begin with.

                As always, I am torn between my honest self and my catholic upbringing, because there is a part of me that thinks it is a good thing that you stay locked until committed to marriage, but the free spirit in me regrets that you are denied certain natural pleasures!

                  Renita I don't think I have strange ideas. Usually people who stay alone for livetime start sometimes having pets. An I know woman who live alone and have lots of cats.
                  The idea with the cats is not mine. My daughter talked to one of her friends and she asked if she would like to have a partner one day. My daughter wasn't sure about that and said maybe she would stay single. The friend replied: "Cats, then you will have a lot of cats!" I found that answer so funny that I made up my mind to fool @Laura with it at the next opportunity.

                      Laura As you have indicated you may be open to being a reluctantly convinced belted newlywed, you have all my hopes that you encounter a partner who both adores you and will make no such request of you. (Unless, of course, you eventually evolve to conclude you would be comfortable as a locked spouse. I suspect at least some on this forum who would reject the idea would accept the permanent belt from the right person they have not yet met.)

                          Laura I know it feels like sunk-cost fallacy, but perhaps with all this time invested in protecting your virginity — and no respite on the horizon — you can take some reluctant pride in your status. Not many get a virginal spouse these days.

                              Saintprudence I assume your parents cannot be persuaded to give you a time-out; it would undermine the entire purpose of keeping you belted to begin with.

                              They should be even more careful with it.

                                  BikelockFugitive as has oft been noted, most girls on this forum could be free of the belt if they really wanted it. It’s just that there is a price to pay for making that choice - a different price for all of us, but what we have in common is the decision that freedom from the belt is not worth what it would cost us.

                                      I see no problem with Laura age and virginity and I do not think she has any problems with that either.
                                      Just proves us all others that her chastity belt works as intended and remember, they are made to last a lifetime!
