Vanessa I think so.

but when the book is finished, camryn and i would be willing to write the german version 😉 maybe you would like to write the french one ? 😉

      Angelina And a spanish one written by @Ines ? And czech, russian,...so many native speakers from others countries here...

      Nothing really new here, just found a hoster to share the actual pdf file.
      https://mega.nz/file/OoREzJLI#3gly8a5BmKq88yzEr4PmaAENYoD5OjkVtMW-QI4dqx4
      I will update my ideas and questions in the next days. I plan to make an update on the file one time per week. I just have to work me in LaTeX again and get other things done. 😉

          Would dealing with bottom dysphoria as a transgender fall under other reasons as well? Although I'm not in belt yet but it would serve as a tool to alleviate my dysphoria. Comparing to tucking, chastity belts ensure my genitals are locked in, so "accidents" with tucking won't happen, which would give me sense of security. Also unwanted erections (Which HRT may solve a lot though, as HRT for MTF includes T-blockers) make unwanted bulging, which may also cause tucking to fail. So I feel chastity belt would be more fail-proof way to deal with bottom dysphoria.

            why not, we'll take it around the world 🙂

            Kurt

            thanks for the update, although it looks more like a scientific paper (bachelor or master thesis) than a book. but i think it's very good 😃

            Vanessa Not sure,it would take a lot of time...

            This is true, but it depends on how big the book will be.

                    Rina as long as your comfortable sure thing 😀

                      Rina Yes everything can be included. Would you write this subsection?

                      Angelina but i think it's very good

                      thanks 😁

                      Angelina although it looks more like a scientific paper

                      Yeah I'm only used to this writing style 😅 Everyone can make suggestion and change everything, I collect all the suggestions and put them together. There is nothing engraved in stone yet, this should be a community project. 😀

                              Kurt Yeah I'm only used to this writing style 😅 Everyone can make suggestion and change everything, I collect all the suggestions and put them together. There is nothing engraved in stone yet, this should be a community project. 😀

                              i would like to help more, unfortunately i don't have enough time (i'm already here way too often on the forum anyway), but i like to read your intermediate steps and get back to you if i have any suggestions for improvement. 🙂

                                Rina Would dealing with bottom dysphoria as a transgender fall under other reasons as well?

                                Probably,yes!

                                You should ask @Kurt if he agrees that you use it for you future thesis about chastity belts! 🤣

                                      Vanessa You should ask @Kurt if he agrees that you use it for you future thesis about chastity belts! 🤣

                                      hahaha, though i have to be careful not to get caught and accused of plagiarism 🤣

                                          Angelina get caught and accused of plagiarism

                                          No problem, because the author of the possible book are the members of unwedchastity.org, so you are also an author. You just have to cite in the right way. 😀

                                              Kurt No problem, because the author of the possible book are the members of unwedchastity.org, so you are also an author. You just have to cite in the right way. 😀

                                              yes, especially if i get a signed statement from you that i can use your work. 😉

                                                Maybe some chapters need to be reshaoed into a propper shape.

                                                  Max9 >Yeah that's true. This isn't even close to the final version. I'm just starting. Everybody can also begin to write a chapter and post it, so I can include it.

                                                    I’m lazy 😩 , just have to make a schedule to integrate this project in my activities.

                                                    Here are some questions that already arise to me.

                                                    1. Should this discussion tagged so only members can read it? - One reason: maybe topics can become quickly personal and you don’t want that everybody can read this so easily.
                                                    2. Would you want a part were the authors would be described a little? Nothing to personal more like experience in wearing this or that device for this time (i.e. chastity belt & bra since the age of 19 for five years 24/7) something like that - One reason: so the readers can become more familiar if the authors know what they are talking about, even though they don’t have to believe the authors, because they can’t prove their stories.
                                                    3. Is it possible to give some examples under the "Other reasons for carrying" section, e.g. Laura would be the case for Tradition?
                                                    4. Is it possible to get some pics from the devices from you? I mean pics where only the device is shown. Written explanations are good how such devices look like, but a picture can say more than 1000 words.
                                                      This is a copyright thing, I can’t take pictures from websites like my-steel for example without their permission. Or I write to my-steel (and other companies) and explain why I need some of their pics. But I would mention this forum and the reason why I need them. I don’t know if you would like to have their attention.

                                                    This should be enough for today. There are still questions, but one step after another.

                                                    Here is a little update of the book.

                                                      1. I prefer only members. It is a work in progress and should not be public too early.
                                                      2. I don't need author description. The unknown author would sufficient for me,

                                                      Kurt Should this discussion tagged so only members can read it? - One reason: maybe topics can become quickly personal and you don’t want that everybody can read this so easily.

                                                      as @Joh said member only would be best until the book is finished

                                                      Kurt Would you want a part were the authors would be described a little? Nothing to personal more like experience in wearing this or that device for this time (i.e. chastity belt & bra since the age of 19 for five years 24/7) something like that - One reason: so the readers can become more familiar if the authors know what they are talking about, even though they don’t have to believe the authors, because they can’t prove their stories.

                                                      that would be a good idea, but only if it fits the respective subchapter, you have already quoted some members, that is very nice to read because it reflects the experiences of the members in this forum.

                                                      Kurt Is it possible to get some pics from the devices from you? I mean pics where only the device is shown. Written explanations are good how such devices look like, but a picture can say more than 1000 words.
                                                      This is a copyright thing, I can’t take pictures from websites like my-steel for example without their permission.

                                                      i would think about it, but i am a bit worried that the pictures might show up on the internet later, so i personally say no, unfortunately, but maybe members can be found who are in agreement.

                                                      Kurt Here is a little update of the book.

                                                      thanks, i don't have much time the next few days but i will read it next week and write a statement if you remind me. 😉

                                                                Angelina but i am a bit worried that the pictures might show up on the internet later,

                                                                Of course they will show up on the internet later (we discuss this via internet). And to be clear about what kind of pictures I mean here is an example.
                                                                Perhaps I found a way to ask the manufactures without mention this forum. But I already think they know about this forum.

                                                                Angelina but i will read it next week

                                                                Nothing really new there, just fixed some LaTeX things like bibliography, tables etc..

                                                                      Angelina i would think about it, but i am a bit worried that the pictures might show up on the internet later, so i personally say no,

                                                                      I mean - you don't need to show yourself in the equipment - you just need to show the equipment.
