I suppose a theme for this thread is the motivations of the wearer, the keyholder and whomever the persuades the wearer of the value of wearing the belt in the first place. I find it an interesting, if startling topic, since I actually spent a fair bit of my professional life discussing these motivations without once even thinking of a chastity device ๐คฃ
I am talking about conversations with teenage girls about sex, sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancy (particularly the unwanted variety), orgasm and the value of waiting until marriage etc. The last one always made me feel a little hot under the collar since, as I described previously, the orgasm bus left the station for me long before I turned twenty. And being of a sexual orientation that excluded men I suppose you could argue had no direct knowledge of intercourse with a man and what post marital sex would have been like. (For the record I have nothing against men and count many amongst my best friends, I have just no experience of sex with them - smiles).
But many of the arguments one might use to try to get an adolescent into a chastity device are almost identical to what I used to preach. Of course, it was also my sad responsibility when for many of these poor girls, the horse had left the gate and I had to help clear up the mess. This gave me a strong motive to help them understand the problems of premarital sex in general, hopefully before they got into trouble. In a way its odd to think how useful chastity devices might have been to me in my profession if back then I had the knowledge I have now and had access to them in a way that would have allowed me to offer them as a service.
Of course, it would have been politically incorrect and no doubt would have had me up before the licensing authorities almost immediately; yet I wonder how many girls I might have been able to save before their actions led then down a path that, for many of them, ruined their lives. It is ironic that chastity devices were (of course) not even remotely discussed during my education and training and that I learned of them initially through a work of fiction. Perhaps even stranger, while I have worn a chastity belt for just over seven years, it is only reading these threads that this topic has finally percolated into my thick skull.
Knowing what I know now, I am wondering how many of my patients, I might have persuaded that the chastity devices would have been a โtherapyโ to their situations and how many lives would have been so much better, assuming that it had been legal and accepted to offer them and that my persuasive skills were up to the challenge. Certainly, I might have had an advantage over my colleagues because of my own practical experience! ๐
