Angelina

Angelina about a little more than one million men (assuming equal numbers of women and men in germany) 42 million men /100*2.5 = 1.05 million

I would say even this is to high. I would still substract all male minors (approx 8 millions²). So 36 M/100*2.5 = 900,000 men.
And if you look about how many devices are sold. Remember one male can buy more then one device (e.g. "what have you done if your old belt" 😉 ).
And the male customers haven't to be in a heterosexual relationship. I think in the homosexual community chastity devices as play tools a far more existing.

        I would probably ask them,but only to do it "well";I'm sure they would be ok.

        And they know doing something damaging my relationship with Emilie would be a red line,as I would always choose Emilie instead of my parents,and break the relationship with my parents if it is necessary.With a good possibility that my twin side with me,and do the same.

        Sara2001

        Possible,yes!

        Sara2001 We where not forced to have a relationship but kind of "forced" to meet and see where it is going.

        If I remember well,you were punished because you weren't ok,at first.Or was it because you weren't polite when refusing?

        Angelina our parents locked us up so we wouldn't have sex before marriage not so we would marry a chosen partner.

        Right.

        GoodyProctor

        Not sure.

        Interesting.

        So,in France there should be approximately 670 000 men wearing it,and probably at least the same for women!If it is the same,it would be 1 340 000 people in chastity in France;at least 1 people on 50.If it is true,I probably already met some people wearing one without knowing it(which is very likely,during university,I think)!😉

        Tobbe 20.000 different models of male devices

        That's a lot!I think many are exactly the same,but with a different name...

        Sara2001 I think it would be something people would talk about

        We don't talk about it with much people,except on this board...

                          Vanessa If I remember well,you were punished because you weren't ok,at first.Or was it because you weren't polite when refusing?

                          A combination of both.

                          Vanessa We don't talk about it with much people,except on this board...

                          Yes, but we are only a very small group and most people don't know any of us directly. So it's not a big thing. At least some of these man would very likely not be that strict about their privacy. If only 5% would be open about it, I can imagine, that it would mean that this topic would be relatively well known. Every village would have a wearer who is more or less open about it. Like he would make jokes on the yearly village festival after a few beers, that he can't use the pissoir and one day later half of the village would know it. These kinds of events.

                                Vanessa So,in France there should be approximately 670 000 men wearing it,and probably at least the same for women!If it is the same,it would be 1 340 000 people in chastity in France;at least 1 people on 50.

                                I think we can expect around 2% +/- 0.5% men/women on average in Europe, North America and the Middle East.
                                But then not that all of these use it 24/7.

                                    Tobbe Of course you are right. I was a little too optimistic. 😉

                                    maybe because you wish it 😂

                                    Kurt I would say even this is to high.

                                    of course it's too high, i calculated it using @Tobbe's percentage. i've written my guess below it " i think there are at most 100,000 men and women in germany (maybe even less) = 0,12%"

                                    Sara2001 Like he would make jokes on the yearly village festival after a few beers, that he can't use the pissoir and one day later half of the village would know it. These kinds of events.

                                    😂 but i have to disagree with you a little bit, i think we already represent a relatively large part of the people who wear the chastity belt serously. we are relatively easy to find via google and as far as i know we are the only forum where serious wearers are talked about. there are certainly many belt wearers but 80-90% of them are fetishists (my opinion).

                                    Tobbe I think we can expect around 2% +/- 0.5% men/women on average in Europe, North America and the Middle East.
                                    But then not that all of these use it 24/7.

                                    I think 2% is much too high, that would mean one in 50. I think more like 0.1 to 0.2%.

                                              Angelina think 2% is much too high, that would mean one in 50. I think more like 0.1 to 0.2%.

                                              Where then do all those belts and cages who are sold go?
                                              This is not visible and therefore easy to think that it does not exist either. A bit like genital piercing. Nothing that is visible either, but occurs significantly more than you can imagine it does.

                                                  Tobbe Where then do all those belts and cages who are sold go?

                                                  I think many fetishists in particular have more than one belt.

                                                  I alone already have 2 belts and 2 bras. 😉

                                                      Tobbe How many serios belts are sold? I mean belts that can be worn 24/7?

                                                          Sara2001 Hard to know, because the manufacturers do not release any figures.
                                                          But since they remain year after year and have several models to choose from, there are probably a large number.

                                                              Vanessa 1 people on 50.

                                                              sounds like a lot, way mlre that I expect... and also more as I can anyhow believe st first glance...

                                                                  Max9 We will probably include those who use it more sporadically as well. During a session. Only on weekends or a few days now and then.
                                                                  24/7 is probably significantly fewer.

                                                                      Tobbe We need a metal detector!!! 😁

                                                                          Sara2001 At least some of these man would very likely not be that strict about their privacy.

                                                                          Tobbe But then not that all of these use it 24/7.

                                                                          Angelina I think 2% is much too high, that would mean one in 50. I think more like 0.1 to 0.2%.

                                                                          Tobbe But since they remain year after year and have several models to choose from, there are probably a large number.

                                                                          Tobbe 24/7 is probably significantly fewer.

I don't know how long it takes to produce a chastity belt. But I'd only Germany needs 100.000 male belts a year, it should be millons for the whole world. Let's say any company has to produce only half a million a year, that would be 2000 a day.

                                                                                                      Sara2001 Now a good belt last more than a year!

We should not just focus on higher class belts. You have a BIG Chinese market with 1000 of manufactures, who make adjustable belts and cages.

                                                                                                          Do you know any manufactur in China who produce really good quality for long term use? How many percent do you think only use it for playing and fetishism, but not 24/7.

                                                                                                              Sara2001 You have Cocoondesign from China. Only male belts now, but maybe also female in the future.

                                                                                                              I have no clue, but I think some start with playing and ends up in 24/7.
