29-year-old virgin
a_father one reason I started my sunk-cost poll is because I strongly suspect that Laura went into the belt over her own objections but, as time has passed, has come to agree on some level that it’s probably worthwhile to stay belted until marriage because she’s worn it this long.
Saintprudence Without a partner she will never marry. The belt doesn't make it easier.
a_father The belt doesn't make it easier.
A belt only prevents sex, but not relationships.
@Christine and @Abby82
you both understood it. that's why i can only guess @Laura. don't let your lifestyle talk you out of it, but if you are really looking for a partner become active yourself, but make sure that your partner at least accepts this lifestyle 
@a_father @Renita @Abby82 @Laura A quote from wikipedia:
"Delayed gratification, or deferred gratification, describes the process that the subject undergoes when the subject resists the temptation of an immediate reward in preference for a later reward. Generally, delayed gratification is associated with resisting a smaller but more immediate reward in order to receive a larger or more enduring reward later. A growing body of literature has linked the ability to delay gratification to a host of other positive outcomes, including academic success, physical health, psychological health, and social competence."
Laura Not realy.
There are some sperging gammas on this forum who do not (want to) understand that there are people who have different values and priorities than them.
They cannot and do not want to understand but insist on running other peoples live.
Laura An unwed girl living alone doesn't sounds right.
i see it differently, living independently is something different than living with a partner/spouse
Saintprudence I don’t want to derail from the topic any further!
i did not understand the last posts on this topic anyway, so it is better if we stick to the topic 
If opened to be erect often enough,there is not too much risk! 
Laura Not everybody, but most of them. Females, of course
So it is close to a family tradition,to wear it until marriage.Everyone were voluntary wearers or some were reluctantly wearers?
Right.
I agree.

Why?I don't think it is a problem,and it is pretty common...
Angelina i see it differently, living independently is something different than living with a partner/spouse
I agree.
Similar for many of us,some unsupervised breaks would be very helpful,even alone!
Even if still wearing your chastity belt?
Vanessa Why?I don't think it is a problem,and it is pretty common...
i think so too, living alone is an important part of living independently and the more independent we are the more likely we are to marry
Vanessa Why?For cleaning?
it is generally very difficult for cleaning, especially they do not know how far apart they live
HHelen Yes. Nobody owns another person.
When you get married, you pledge your loyalty to one another. @Laura didn't marry her parents. They just make it unnecessarily difficult for her to find a partner. I don't know the reasons, but that has something to do with the fact that you can't let go of your daughter or treat her like your property. Very strange people..
Or maybe a very conservative denomination? There are a lot of evangelical Christians in the USA. You sometimes hear strange things. And as a Catholic, I am already considered conservative. However, I do not ask others to live by my values. As you can see from my statements, I put personal freedom above everything. My freedom ends where the freedom of the other (this includes our childrens freedom) begins. Some parents forget that here (like you, or @Laura's parents).
