I'm now several months into nearly full-time wear. This seems to qualify as long term, so I'll answer the original post.
Jonas Do the feelings of frustration that come with enforced chastity ever make you choose to avoid sexual thoughts and behaviours?
No. It's quite the opposite for me. It's a constant reminder that I am a sexual being, which is something I'm prone to forgetting for long periods of time when unbelted. Sexual thoughts arise more often, and I enjoy them when they do.
For good, or ill, does a chastity belt train or encourage a person to think, speak and act with purity and self-restraint? Or would it all change back to how it was before when the lock is released?
I do behave differently while belted. It motivates me to think of my partner more often. It's also a wonderful tool for healthy habit building.
If I stop wearing for some reason, I expect most of my healthy habits to persist.
Do you think long-term wear would have a positive, negative or no effect on your character?
Quite positive! I am hopeful it keeps up.
