Reasons a chastity belt sucks?
- Edited
Jen You should never choose your parents as keyholder. You know, you can't trust your mother. In my opinion parents are always the wrong keyholder because of the power imbalance between parents and children. It mostly ends in abuse of power.You can break off a relationship with anyone else. But you have your parents for a lifetime. If you want to experiment, find a friend. Ask your parents to open the lock and buy a lock for your own for test.
but that is why she should still be careful
Jen I'm going to try and ask for the key, I think getting caught with another belt in the house would be worse. But waiting till I'm 18 first.
good decision, but please remain cautious and under no circumstances enter into a deal that you do not want. 
Jen Why doesn't it make sense to have the key while getting used to it?
i'll try to argue from your parents' point of view. you could have a spare key made and hide it. that would counteract the whole system of the chastity belt.

Jen they can trust me first by handing over the key.
I think such a gesture would help you to feel that chastity wasn't a stressful or crazy idea.
Why doesn't it make sense to have the key while getting used to it?
I think it does make a lot of sense. To give informed consent, it is reasonable for you to find out what wearing a belt is actually like. And it is far better to test the belt a little each day over, say, a month than it would be to suddenly to try it for three days straight and end up sore and stressed out.
I had the key for my belt for months before I decided to give it up. Even then it wasn't an all or nothing thing, at first.
Angelina you could have a spare key made and hide it.
As I say, I think copying the key isn't an issue because a replacement lock/key can be bought if and when they're needed.

Well in my opinion because since you have the power you are not using to wear a chastity belt. Basically, further the physical use the chastity belt means to be overpowered. And you do not know this intense feeling if you have a key. You can not know what means wear a belt if you have power over your belt.
Your situation is hard, in fact I do not trust in your mother in this sense, but, this point that I am touching is true, and every girl here can say you the same.
Ines Well in my opinion because since you have the power you are not using to wear a chastity belt.
I agree with you, but I think in such an awkward situation they should move forward very slowly.
- - Get used to wearing the belt.
- - Build loving trust with keyholders.
- - Gently experiment with not having the key.
- - Choose whether to keep the belt or dump it.
In this manner consent is assured and all parties end up getting a fair chance of getting what they want - in the end.
Jonas Could they not give up the key to enable the belt to be trialled?
She can ask to be unlocked anytime instead
Ines I believe the same, and it is pretty logical, I would not give the key to the wearer.
My parents do the same. They never give me the key
Jen they can trust me first by handing over the key
They can trust you be leaving the belt open
A negative reason I'm surprised isn't listed yet:
You can't hug your friends without risking some questioning looks.

Even with vaccine social distance must be maintained.
And with my chastity belt I hug friends and relatives... I do not brush my body when I hug someone! And I am southern!
Even with wide belts over the drees more discreet. There are a lot of propaganda and with a chastity belt you can wear trousers without problem.

@catherine98 mentioned it
Jonas The submission occurs at the outset in such a case.
Every CB wearer is more or less submissive

right, if it should really become serious, the padlock can still be changed afterwards
Jonas - Build loving trust with keyholders.
and this is exactly where I do not see @Jen at the moment.
gwen You can't hug your friends without risking some questioning looks.
I have always hugged my friends, you just have to make sure you do it in the right places. 
Angelina right, if it should really become serious, the padlock can still be changed afterwards
Exactly.
To break the current impasse, Jen could respect her parents feelings by going through with the agreement to try the belt, and her parents could demonstrate that they respect her feelings by offering up the key to begin with.
