Avery Thanks, for me that was quite educational. It puts me in mind of when my father was trying to quit smoking. He would leave the cigarettes out in the car which mean that whenever he wanted one he had to think about it and then, if he still wanted it, make the effort to walk out there

Yep this is exactly how I view the problem. And it's very similar to how I quit smoking too. The idea is to make it as difficult as possible to act out. The only difference between the two is that cigarettes are in the shop down the road whereas masturbation is always, permanently, within arm's reach! Hence the belt.

Avery of course we all knew what he was doing so he was kind of admitting a fail.

Yes. This is easier with masturbation because although everyone now seems to talk about how healthy and natural it is, it remains absolutely socially unacceptable.

Avery he did eventually quit.

Great!! Quitting smoking is an amazing achievement and fantastic for your health.

          I don't know what I'm talking about so maybe this is silly but. In the movie Raging Bull the boxer did not want to ejaculate in the days before a fight. So, if enticed by his wife, he would get a pitcher of ice water and pour it over his genitals, thus killing the urge. Whatever the case he won most of his fights.

              Jonas Yes. This is easier with masturbation because although everyone now seems to talk about how healthy and natural it is, it remains absolutely socially unacceptable.

              It's interesting though that in my little society we girls make jokes about our masturbation and exchange notes on stuff like Lovense. The boys, on the other hand, don't talk about it it seems because apparently they consider it an admission they can't get a girl to come across. I could probably blackmail my brothers with the knowledge that they beat off.

                There's a lot of nonsense talked about masturbation, but one thing is true, (at least in my experience): Avoiding it really does give me a huge drive to succeed in all aspects of my life.

                And I suppose this makes sense.... why bother doing anything if you've already fired up and exhausted your reward centres?

                I don't know how much it is socially acceptable now to talk about such things, all I know is that I could smoke on a street corner! Lol.

                    youdontknowme I would hope there are ways a young woman could restore her honor, such as finding a husband who will accept her despite her "troubled" past

                    In order to maintain drama, I think marriage it is not forbidden, but it should not be a well societal accepted marriage. I mean, as you say, she is a lower cast.

                    youdontknowme Another question is the nature of the virginity exam - the hymen seems most straightforward, but that can be broken without sexual impropriety.

                    Yes, but it has two advantages, allows to have "more or less" control that any girl or keyholder cheat the system, and that girl has to be extremely careful. Probably any keyholder would allow her girl any "experience" knowing the much she is risking.

                    Laura Then the law should be about virginity and I believe it's there in few countries

                    Not really, @Laura , but even it is not perfect, is the easiest system. If I am the mother of a girl, even if she has a good behavior, as I know the dangers, I would be very strict with chastity belt due I do not want she spoils her life.

                    But all about this "dystopia". You know only thing I support will be a mandatory wearing of chastity belt in University. Easy of checking and with nice consequences.

                            Ines In order to maintain drama, I think marriage it is not forbidden, but it should not be a well societal accepted marriage. I mean, as you say, she is a lower cast.

                            No opportunity for redemption? Talk about casting the first stone! That world seems ripe for a revolution.

                            Ines and that girl has to be extremely careful. Probably any keyholder would allow her girl any "experience" knowing the much she is risking.

                            Sounds like thigh bands would be in common use not so much to keep wandering hands in check, but to restrict physical activity.

                                well, we got used to having to endure certain restrictions during corona. i don't really see the difference. if the government could find a reason why chastity belts are good and useful, they can enforce it. that's exactly how the government managed to do it with the masks at corona, i couldn't imagine that 2 years ago either. wait a few more years and chastity belts could also become a reality

                                    Eeek! Do you think over-population or farming insufficiency could ever lead to a literal governmental clamp down on sexual activity?

                                        Hmm. Not wearing a mask is perfectly obvious and makes enforcement easy. Other than being in a really good humor it's not clear to me how law enforcement would identify people who are getting themselves laid.

                                            Honestly, while I do not want to derail this topic any more than I already have, it would be a refreshing change for western governments to discourage breeding for once.

                                            Angelina well, we got used to having to endure certain restrictions during corona. i don't really see the difference.

                                            "Having to endure" seems like a strong word for masks. I find it quite reasonable to wear them, in fact I have taken to wearing them more often than legally required, sometimes to the ridicule of otherwise reasonable people (who do wear their masks where required). I mean, I am already required to wear pants for the sake of my fellow citizens, what more is one tiny piece of fabric?

                                            On the other hand, with some other restrictions, I very much begrudgingly obeyed them knowing that there was a specific and important cause and it would be for a limited time if society behaves reasonably. The latter portion has sadly become a very big "if", but I am glad that "not leaving the house unless absolutely necessary" and "only meet with one person who is not from your household" had quickly served their purpose.

                                            I could see a justification for requiring chastity belts in public spaces (though not their continued wear once in the privacy of your home), mainly as a prevention for sexual misconduct, but considering how impractical chastity belts are that emergency removal is something that should always be on a belt user's mind, I do not see that becoming the norm any time soon.

                                                  It's a serious issue, and one which in combination with environmental/farming pressure could conceivably lead to the fantasy dystopia being discussed here.

                                                  On the wider topic; I think widespread chastity would be more likely through chemical or wetware intervention than metal belts.

                                                  The latter could only possibly succeed where chastity belts had been heavily promoted both socially and as desirable fashion items. Until there's a "swoosh" on my new belt I won't believe it likely.

                                                      Ines Of course a virginity exam should be absolutely mandatory in this scenario.

                                                      What if she is not virgin?

                                                        Jonas Personally, I consider chastity belts a much more attractive fashion style than prominent brand icons. It is a shame that so many people out there think differently.

                                                        But yeah, if a government were to discourage population increase, it would start with economic methods (i.e. cut benefits for families), and then maybe sanctions against actually having children, like we have seen in China. Maybe promoting birth control. But limiting intercourse itself - only realistic after all those avenues have already been explored.

                                                            So you're saying that you'd rather see the waist belt of a chastity belt stick out over the lowrider pants, than underwear sticking out with the brand name prominently visible? Yes, I can dig that 😮

                                                              On both men and women. Would be an interesting time when "less conspicuous" becomes an argument against cages.
                                                              Personally, I am not a fan of low-sitting pants at all though, but at least flashing a belt's waist band would be an upside.

                                                                  Jonas Now you are reminding me of an Epica song:
