Raziel Well, this escalated quickly
this is what happens when you wear a belt and don't have sex 
does anyone have a suggestion as to what a concrete draft law could look like, including the penalties for breaking the law? i would like to discuss this further, but a template would be good for this.
youdontknowme
Do not take It seriously. In REAL WORLD I am totally against forced belting, I was playing a bit answering your approaches 1 and 3!
I just found it interesting that your real-world concerns were given more attention in one scenario than in the other.
Ines Yes... I agree. However, in real life this has a lot of problems.
Of course; even if you decide to ignore the legal and cultural shifts that those scenarios require, there are practical issues that are even harder to overcome - every person in a country must be able to adapt to long-term wear of the "have the key out of reach" kind, probably within quite the limited time frame as well. And for the ladies, a full belt with all the struggles that come with an unyielding pair of steel underpants is pretty much the bare minimum - unlike us boys, you do not have any bulky external genitalia you could attach a cage to. Which makes the idea of nobody in that fictional culture being physically unable to comply with the law/tradition a bit challenging to say the least.
youdontknowme So, mandatory belting is only OK when everyone is belted, not just students?
that actually doesn't sound so illogical. for me, the question would always be: what do i get in return from the state?
May be enough to not be considered as a whore,even with no belt.
How would you check it is respected,and not only worn when needed(for getting the license,for example)?
Angelina somehow, based on our situation, it would even be an advantage
Sure!
Ines I believe it could have very good consequences.
I can agree with it,thinking about some slutty women I knew when studying in university too...It could help some of them.
Angelina this is what happens when you wear a belt and don't have sex
youdontknowme Some guys do it 5 times a day and then cannot get it up if they find a willing partner. Those are the people for whom masturbation is a problem, and some people try to quit cold turkey like a smoker trying to stop smoking. Though seeking out a therapist may be a more productive idea than locking it up and throwing away the key, especially since unresolved arousal can lead to other forms of problematic behavior.
I would definitely classify masturbation as a potentially addictive behaviour, but I've not been convinced by arguments that such addictions always require therapy. People may smoke and over-eat because they are fruitlessly trying to fill gaps in their lives, but many also do these things simply because they feel nice.
From what I saw NoFap seems to be generally against the idea of chastity belts, preferring that converts to the path make mental changes that they hope will later be expressed as changes in behaviour. From my point of view, as someone who does feel they were addicted to masturbation, the chastity belt serves the same purpose as a lock on the cookie jar, or leaving the cigarettes in the shops. In short, I prefer to use a barrier method!
Am interested in the idea of unresolved arousal leading to problems, but would balance it with the idea that resolved arousal can re-enforce paraphilias.

I would reckon that if your main motivation behind masturbation is that it feels nice, it is hard to classify it as addiction unless you spend so much time on it that it prevents you from doing other things. Generally, I would say an addiction is an unnecessary something you compulsively do without really enjoying it. But I feel like this off-topic tangent has overstayed its welcome, so if we want to continue discussing compulsive male masturbation, we should probably move towards another topic. Which is also the reason I will make two different posts here, makes it easier for moderators to split the topic if that is what they decide is appropriate.
Vanessa How would you check it is respected,and not only worn when needed(for getting the license,for example)?
Same way we do it with drivers. If you get into a random (or for-cause) check and are found to be driving without a license, you get a fine, or in egregious cases a court summons.
Probably not going to involve dropping your bottoms in broad daylight to check for fit though, so... uh... I do not know - electronic tagging perhaps? Little RFID tags in the chastity belts (and authorized keys, and unlock licenses) so anyone passing within close proximity of a checkpoint can be scanned to ensure they are wearing the belt and leaving their key behind if they do not have a license with them.
youdontknowme I would reckon that if your main motivation behind masturbation is that it feels nice, it is hard to classify it as addiction unless you spend so much time on it that it prevents you from doing other things.
"Feels nice" was a hint towards a possible hijack of brain's reward system. Where an individual's autonomy is compromised that could be seen by some to provide justification for external control.

So generally how does this work, would someone in your situation have a keyholder or does one keep the key and wear the belt to reduce the chance of arousal and subsequently acting upon it? Sorry to be dense about this.

"Feels nice" as in "eases withdrawal and the brain can rationalize this as positive behavior is very different from actually feeling nice at least in how the behavior should be judged. And of course, withdrawal can be a good treatment for addiction, but it depends on the person. If someone responds badly to withdrawal, professional help may be advisable.

Again, an individual thing. Jonas is happily married and his wife assists him in not letting him have unwanted orgasms, others might tr, managing themselves, though the latter may be difficult if the habit is bad enough to qualify as addiction.

Thanks but I would like to know what Jonas thinks.
youdontknowme so if we want to continue discussing compulsive male masturbation, we should probably move towards another topic.
we have a thread about excessive mastubation if i remember correctly, i think that's the best place for it
youdontknowme Same way we do it with drivers. If you get into a random (or for-cause) check and are found to be driving without a license, you get a fine, or in egregious cases a court summons.
that sounds kind of creepy. two policemen come up to me and check if my chastity belt is properly fitted and locked. that is cringe
Angelina that sounds kind of creepy. two policemen come up to me and check if my chastity belt is properly fitted and locked. that is cringe
I feel that applies to most stories about legally mandated chastity - sooner or later you run into issues that would be really awkward in reality. Bringing some form of RFID tags into it to avoid regular random strip searches everywhere was an attempt to make it somewhat more palatable at least. But who knows, maybe some people are into the more hands-on option.
And I mean, it would not necessarily happen all the time. In all the time I have been driving, I have only ever been asked for my license at car rental shops, and at my job so they know if I can borrow a company car should I need it. Never ran into a checkpoint.
youdontknowme Never ran into a checkpoint.
me neither and frankly the idea is not bad at all. only the idea is somehow.... strange, probably because we can't imagine something like that in society. i think i would have a different view of it if it were as normal as traffic controls.
Laura Two policewomen
would make no difference to me
Angelina probably because we can't imagine something like that in society
Same here, but I cannot imagine living a world where everyone (or worse, everyone of a particular sex) were forced into chastity devices either (and the implications that would come with it). Now, a world where everyone was expected to at least give it a try and a significant amount of the population deciding it was not as bad as they feared? Would love to see that, but while society-wide chastity is an interesting subject to fantasize over, all the little stumbling blocks that come with the reality of chastity enforcement just make it feel like somehow not making that scenario a hell on earth would be impractically difficult.
youdontknowme and leaving their key behind
How would they do it?
Renita Really, in this hypothetical it only matters that they are not able to unlock in a public space, so the key being either at home or in the possession of someone with a license would be sufficient. How to deal with the health and safety concerns of leaving home potentially for an extended period of time whithout access to the key is an exercise left for the reader, and a practical concern which makes this a lot better as a fantasy than as a realistic scenario.
