Reasons a chastity belt sucks?

Jen All of these reasons are exactly why 'most' users (except on here) would say permanent chastity is not really a thing. Even chastity belt manufacturers say their products shouldn't be used for the kind of wear that is advocated for on here.

I don't want to put you off... if you approach chastity with a little bit of common sense you will be able to find a balance without resorting to physical or mental harm. But it is my opinion that full-time wear is not compatible with the lifestyle of an active, healthy young girl.

By all means explore chastity, but please don't feel like you're doing it wrong when you have to take your belt off. And you WILL have to take your belt off (regularly). Some of the descriptions you read on here are definitely at the more extreme / fanciful end of the chastity spectrum.

They probably say this only to not risk having to pay damages or be prosecuted.

Jen I will only say sincerely if you want to enter chastity you do not have to force yourself to think that you have to be with. The post a long time you should give yourself some time to get used to it. I would recommend that if you try it, you have to hide it from the parents.

Tobbe This is true, but at least it's an acknowledgement that their products are potentially dangerous and can be misused.

I'm not saying 24/7 isn't possible (it's certainly an ideal for a lot of people) but we all have to start somewhere. And going into it with unrealistic expectations is a great way to set yourself up for failure. I would suggest that carefully exploring your limits is a healthier approach, especially for a beginner.

This!

Sin in fact there is one. Twitter user called Wendy Warrior who managed to spend a month in chastity without April

Jen Good to hear your perspective

Although pro-chastity, I think "health issues associated with long term belt wear" should make it to the "sucks" list. I'm thinking pinched nerves and/or back trouble.

Jen Yes! But how! They've basically got control of the belt.

I think wearers should keep the key until they're well used to the belt. Any future key hand-over is then founded on informed consent.

Jen

do you want to have only contra arguments now or what? i don't quite understand, actually you should make 2 lists, one for the pro and one for the contra side . otherwise you have already written quite a lot in the list and yes most of it is really not nice, but what i would like to point out is that most of it is a problem when you wear the belt 24/7. i am also not quite sure what you want to know from us here, you are right about all the problems described above, do you want tips on how best to deal with them?

Almost all of the comments above are pretty much spot on. My advice is to keep control while learning to see if you really want to do this. Start off slooowwwwwly. Do not expect too much at the start. One or two hours a day for a week, then add an hour a day each week. Do not only concentrate on how it feels, but learn also how it effects you emotionally and how you handle all the problems listed at the first post.

Yours and my circumstances are different. You are doing this alone so you need to see how you feel. And don't forget to imagine what it would be like if you give up the control to someone else. Since you don't really have a loving partner that understands you, I strongly recommend that you do keep it secret as to what you are doing. Long before you give the keys up, all doubts as to whether you really want to do this should be eradicated.

Finally, from my perspective, if you ever do find a keyholder, make sure they understand what it is you want. The keyholders wishes and wants for you, should be irrelevant. And if you ever show any unhappiness about it they should not hesitate to return your keys. If you even think they wouldn't then never part with your keys.

In the end a chastity device is an incredibly potent tool to effect your mental well being. It is too dangerous to put its power into the hands of someone you can't trust absolutely that your happiness and well being is the most important thing they care about.

In the end, you should only wear a chastity device if it makes you happy. No other person's opinion is relevant!

Jen

A lot of frustration.
Impossible to relieve your urges.

But your list is pretty complete.Would you write the opposite one,for the "positive" effects of it,too?

Parties and dancing,with appropriate clothes,it is possible;but you should take care no one touch you on a place where there is the belt(hard to avoid for the waist band...).

For pool or beach,it is almost impossible to hide it,except if you wear some swimsuits like the one of @Angelina...

It is a bit like we advice,when discussing about training.

Sin

Not possible,The belt,even if not worn,is locked and without the keys.She must ask her parents to unlock it to try it.

Jonas I think wearers should keep the key until they're well used to the belt. Any future key hand-over is then founded on informed consent.

It could work for @Jen's case,yes.

But not sure her parents would accept.

I agree.Even if your training is a bit long.

Playing sports.... well, I am half-professional player and I wear a belt....
Obviously when I play sport I do not wear it, but it is the normal in a belted lifestyle.
Daily there are a lot of situations in which the keyholder must release the belt, for that, I do not believe the truculent tales that sometimes we have to read.

Vanessa Jonas I think wearers should keep the key until they're well used to the belt. Any future key hand-over is then founded on informed consent.

From what I've read the issue of personal consent has (correctly) been made top priority and the belt is currently a useless "white elephant" hidden away in a suitcase.

However, the belt remains a option. As a consensual choice, it can still be seen as a positive gift: a possible course of action that most people don't have simply because chastity belts are so darn expensive.

Vanessa But not sure her parents would accept.

after what @Jen has written about her parents, it is best that they don't know about it, not even that she wants to test it. at the moment this doesn't seem possible, so I would advise @Jen not to test it at the moment. maybe in a few months when "the dust has settled".
