Parental control software and internet filters.

Parental control software and internet filters.

I've seen parental control software likened to "a chastity belt for the PC". As sex is very much a mental as well as a physical thing and the internet is awash with all levels of sexual material, are belt wearers' PCs and phones fitted with internet filters to limit use time and content? Is such a thing an important consideration for belt providers?

Laura

Jonas are belt wearers' PCs and phones fitted with internet filters to limit use time and content?

No. I have my own DSL line.

Ines

Jonas
No. However, I find disgusting the porn.
Anyway, if it would be different, a chastity belt with bands when are required is enough to be safe of these contents.
Any filter.

Angelina

Jonas

well i had child safety on the computer until i was 14 and only internet access via computer (not smartphone) until i was 17
but to be honest i not really understand the question 😂

Foxies it would have been doubtful that I would have found this forum if it were.

that's right, I think it could be filtered

HHelen

Jonas Is such a thing an important consideration for belt providers?

Not for me. If she wants to watch porn, she can. The main thing is not to star in it.

Vanessa

Jonas

In my case,I studied and work in IT,so it would not have been hard for me to bypass it.My parents probably know it,so they never installed such software on my devices.

Foxies

Probably right.

Angelina I can theoretically watch porn on my laptop, but if I do and get caught, I'll be punished for it because it's forbidden

Similar for me.

And porn is not very interesting while wearing a chastity belt.

Jonas I was just about to post something on the exact same subject. I’m somewhat curious to know how many young people graduate from high school, turn 18, and/or arrive as incoming freshmen at college/university while still having parental locks on their phones or other devices. Perhaps the parents forgot to remove the locks, or perhaps they simply didn’t want to (!)

I should like to point out that because of the way IOS allows parents to lock the setting for “Do Not Disturb While Driving”, Apple plainly foresaw, and intended to allow, the possibility that a 16- or 17-year old would still have a parental lock on their phone.

It is a recurring theme of this group that people above the legal age of majority can still be locked in the yoke of parental authority to a greater or lesser degree.

Foxies

No. And to be honest it would have been doubtful that I would have found this forum if it were.

🤣 That's a really good point!

I'm interested in what aspects of sexuality people think are important to protect.

A lot more people install parental control software than use chastity belts and I realised that I was kinda assuming that those who'd go as far as to use belts would also want to keep their charges safe on the 'net. I'm no longer sure that this is true.

I see now that my interest in chastity is broad, but others have specific aims in mind: virginity, preventing masturbation, stopping extra-marital sex etc ...all the things in your Motivations thread.

Overall, I think I am quite strict in this matter. I think no sex, no masturbation, no porn and keep all attention and energy for your life-partner, and if they're not available, wait.

Laura

Foxies And to be honest it would have been doubtful that I would have found this forum if it were.

And it inspired me to filter this forum on the parents' router, because there are too many "interesting" ideas here 😂

Foxies

It seems to me that any tool that has ever been invented can be used for good and bad; and the internet is no exception. It is an unparalleled resource for information ... and misinformation!

Although I can never be a parent, if I were, I would treat treat the internet like other systems aimed at children. I would supervise their use until my child was able to understand the advantages and dangers the way I do. After that they would have the freedom to live their own lives but would also know that they could always rely on me for support and guidance whenever they needed it.

And, while the thought is new to me, if their sexuality was in danger of violation, from abuse or external influences, I would do everything I could to protect them, including offering physical protection, at least until they understood its value and why it needs protection (see Ines post in "The Value of Virginity") up until they were able to protect it themselves.

Jonas

Angelina Lol. 😅

I should have been much clearer! Sorry.

I'm asking chastity belt wearers and keyholders... is porn banned in your house too?

Angelina

Jonas is porn banned in your house too?

thank you 🙂

ok then I'll answer very clearly

I can theoretically watch porn on my laptop, but if I do and get caught, I'll be punished for it because it's forbidden

Kris

Angelina I can theoretically watch porn on my laptop, but if I do and get caught, I'll be punished for it because it's forbidden

Same for me 🙂 But why should I watch it? I have no access down there 😃

Jonas

Angelina That's interesting to me. Porn is forbidden to you but not blocked and locked.

Angelina

Kris Same for me 🙂 But why should I watch it? I have no access down there 😃

well i looked at it sometimes to get ideas for after my wedding 😉

Jonas That's interesting to me. Porn is forbidden to you but not blocked and locked.

well, I'm supposed to show that I'm mature enough to stay away from it without my father having to make sure (but it doesn't always work)

Sara2001

well, you come from the IT sector, of course it is easier for you, but let me give you an example

when I was 13, I was able to enter complicated financial formulas into Excel (because I learned it from my father), but I had no idea how to bypass the internet filters

Laura

What I really don't understand how something can be blocked? You can always build another circuit and bypass all fliters

Jonas

Laura Net filters can be bypassed, but for wearers without technical knowledge, they'd be secure enough to do the job.

Renita

Laura What I really don't understand how something can be blocked?

By nameserver, it resolve to the page saying about forbidden content. Companies do it this way.

Laura You can always build another circuit and bypass all fliters

If you are an admin of your device.

Tobbe

Jonas But then they go over to a friend an use their computer, if they want to look at blocked sites!

Sara2001

I think most kids know better to get around a filter then the parents. I think it is difficult to install a filter that is really working.

Jonas

HHelen Your focus on the goal you have set (preventing premarital sex) is like a laser beam! It looks like in your shoes I would have taken too broad a view of virginity, been too strict and then failed in all respects.

Jonas

Angelina

well, I'm supposed to show that I'm mature enough to stay away from it without my father having to make sure (but it doesn't always work)

To be honest, I'm glad to hear your internet isn't filtered, you already have to live with a lot of restrictions.

Angelina

Jonas To be honest, I'm glad to hear your internet isn't filtered, you already have to live with a lot of restrictions.

that's true, but it's mainly the sexual limitations that make me different from other girls my age, otherwise many things are very similar

Foxies Once an adolescent consent to a chastity device, then it could be argued that they be encouraged, or at least freely allowed to watch pornographic material. It would not only satisfy their innate curiosity but they would also learn the frustration of unsatisfied arousal which would then likely create an aversion to further exploration of such material.

interesting, this could actually work, porn filter is removed,but wear a chastity belt 😉

Vanessa And porn is not very interesting while wearing a chastity belt.

right, rather frustrating 🙁

Foxies

should this ever happen @Laura and @Vanessa will certainly help to change this 😉
