Asking for thighbands
Jonas Thankfully people are starting to see the problem and deal with it before it gets to that stage.
i see it a little differently. most of the time these people don't see the problem, so the expectations during sex become higher and higher and the disappointments bigger and bigger. it could also lead to sexual crimes.
Max9 The problem is that people do know that this is not real, but still get ideas and aims that are inspired by porn
Inspiration is perfectly ok, but there should be no false expectations.
Jonas I've found that a belt has to have a certain level of security
Of course,but it does not avoid thinking on a way to cheat on it,I think.
But I can understand you feel and react differently.
Alcohol,at least,is a bit different.Even after years without drinking,even a sip of alcohol can make an ex-alcoholic addicted again(it is why even syrup against cough,which often contains very small quantities of alcohol,are often not recommended for people who were addicted to alcohol).I think cigarettes can work the same,but am not totally sure about it.
I don't think it is the majority of the cases.

I agree.

I think you're correct, we all consider the security of the belt on an ongoing basis (shaking the lock becomes a quick way of satisfying this desire). However, once the belt is considered secure it starts to do it's job which, for me at least, is to reframe the question from a more wilful "Why should I stop masturbating?!" to "Why should I start masturbating?".
Eg: Under the influence of nicotine it is harder to stop than to start smoking. When out from said influence, it's easier to stop than to start. The same, I think, goes for lust.
A chastity belt is just there for the times when lust is going to influence your decision making process too much.
I also fully understand that you feel differently!
Vanessa I don't think it is the majority of the cases.
Agree it's not yet a majority problem, however the NOFAP movement is a reaction to this phenomena and is, as far as I can tell, a growing movement.
I don't normally criticize what others do but as I almost slipped and fell on ice today I must say that anything that could cause someone to fall and break their teeth should not even be legal.

HHelen You mean a guy would prefer his left hand than his girlfriend?
I'm saying men are increasingly choosing the endless, excessive, infinite variety of porn in preference to real world relations.
You're right to suggest that this is a reductive process, but it's probably equally focused on the guy's right hand - if that's the one that operates the computer mouse!
Angelina i think it's bad that some men have to take refuge in pronos
Yep, absolutely. Like all addictions porn reduces people to mindless automata, endlessly repeating the same (self and life destructive) behaviours over and over again. I think the trick is to work out how to help such people and to support them as they try to help themselves.
Angelina i think there is a suitable partner for everyone and everyone deserves their own happiness
That's lovely. I agree.

Even voluntary wearers do it!
Jonas . However, once the belt is considered secure it starts to do it's job which, for me at least, is to reframe the question from a more wilful "Why should I stop masturbating?!" to "Why should I start masturbating?".
I think it depends on each person.
It is pretty admitted that an ex-alcoholic can resume this addiction very quickly,even after years without drinking...
Due to thigh bands?
But no need to solve it,as long as it is not excessive,in my opinion.

I stand by my statement, also based on experience from my circle of friends (whose parents).
Vanessa But no need to solve it,as long as it is not excessive,in my opinion.
As I said, it would not be my first "therapy method", rather the last resort.

Only one drink is sufficient to be addicted and start again. An ex-alcoholic can never drink alcohol again or it starts again on the spot. I heard some alcohol in cake like Black Forest cake (SchwarzwΓ€lder Kischtorte) already trigger it.
