Bad news for me

Vanessa In some families,it can be hard(it is the case for Emilie's family).

but then these families should also know that the decision is either to lose a family member or to accept it. my grandma doesn't like it either but she accepts it.

Renita In an ideal world.

nonsense, i would rather spend the next 50 years in the belt than marry someone i don't love

Funguy I’ve been reading here and I’m unsure what to do. I like the idea of marrying a woman I don’t love just so my mom will let me out but I think I will try to live with my bf asap and then just cut it off.

or you talk to your mother openly about it, we are no longer in the Middle Ages.

Funguy
You could sue her for support, it's abuse plain and simple

LoonyMel
Why his mom is controlling .... No one should have such level of control, and lying is acceptable
But better if he just said her that either she handover they keys or he would report it!
Or just report it.

Funguy
Oh my, doesn't she know? Be careful, a shock is an issue you can take into consideration when she will found that Costantinopoli became Istambul and that the second Rome has fallen.

universal circumcision in the Uk and the USA started in the late 19th century. When masturbation was widely regarded as a tremendous evil. The thought was circumcision reduced the desire to masturbate. So infant boys were snipped routinely. It stopped in the UK following WW II because the national health would only pay for medical necessity. In the states insurance will pay for it so it continues. Moms usually authorize it because they don't want their boys to be different. Living in the USA I don't think I ever saw an un snipped male until I was in my 20s.

Ines Even more, think in that supposed victim: well I am suffering in a forced way of wearing chastity belt... I will search in internet a forum about the topic to tell my sad story...
It is not logical. AT ALL.

Yes, absolutely, because reality has absolutely nothing to do with how you describe it.

cham-ed
can't you get trough parliament or Congress as you say the prohibition of insurers sponsoring circumcision? except maybe for Jews and Muslims

Then all you would have to say is that you are Jewish or Moslem and the law would be worthless.

Renita You don't need 50 years for it, let's talk after 10 years.

and what difference would that make, maybe i'm more idialistic than you, but regardless of the belt, my marriage vows will only be given to someone i love.

Funguy You tell her that

i told my strict christian grandma that i am in a relationship with a girl, i think you can handle that

Renita If she doesn't know yet, you should tell her and then ask her to explain her position about your chastity, marriage, etc.

interested, 2 minutes ago i disagreed with you, now i agree with you

Renita

Somehow,in my case.I need the approval to date a boyfriend/girlfriend.

Funguy I think I will try to live with my bf asap and then just cut it off.

It would be the easier,and more logical,solution.

Funguy won’t let me see my sister.

She could disobey your mother and meet you if she wants.Or when she would live in her own too,at least.

Angelina , i would rather spend the next 50 years in the belt than marry someone i don't love

Me too.

But mainly,I would choose to leave the house,even if it means breaking the relationship with my parents,than give up,and don't marry my girlfriend,if they wanted to forbid me to,or to make me marry someone else.

Vanessa But mainly,I would choose to leave the house,even if it means breaking the relationship with my parents,than give up,and don't marry my girlfriend,if they wanted to forbid me to,or to make me marry someone else.

I would probably act that way too, I have only compared these two alternatives

Vanessa Somehow,in my case.I need the approval to date a boyfriend/girlfriend.

I know, but I thought the same about @Ines

Renita I know, but I thought the same about @Ines

Ah!!! Well OK, yes, sorry, I understood your statement in a more restricted sense.
Yes, of course, in my family, and a lot of families not only in the forum, the boyfriend must be accepted for parents.
But, later you can choose marry or not marry... I have a friend, not very close but friend at the end, who has a ex-boyfriend who is friend of her father. They did not have previous relationship....
I know is not very common but.... Your father has vote about your boyfriend, but you can not vote about his friends!
. No fair!

Funguy Her answer was when I’m married to a woman she approves of...

Is it possible that she wants to prevents sex with girls explicitly?

Angelina I would probably act that way too

Logical.

Ines a lot of families not only in the forum, the boyfriend must be accepted for parents.

Yes,I think it is pretty common;way more than using a chastity belt,at least!

Vanessa Yes,I think it is pretty common;way more than using a chastity belt,at least!

at least in conservative or very religious families, yes

Angelina at least in conservative or very religious families, yes

No, I think that approval of parents can be more or less mandatory, but in general, specially at my age and earlier, it is not restricted only to conservative families.
