Potential Improvements if Chastity Belt Becomes Mainstream

WriterAlexis Having never been to one, it was my understanding that nude beaches are "clothing optional." As in a large number of people are still clothed.

Yeah, the clothed state is less critical than the perception of the belt as a toy.

Public nude beaches are generally more clothing-optional, yes, but unless you are in a group that includes people wearing less clothing than would be accepted on clothed beaches, people are going to question your motivations for choosing that part of the beach. Now, women usually get some slack when wearing bottoms, for a mix of biological reasons and the fact that not every clothed beach allows topfree sunbathing (not sure what the norms in France are like there). But people who visit a designated nude beach fully clothed do run the risk of making people uncomfortable. Large numbers of people being clothed on a clothing-optional beach is usually a sure sign that nude bathing is dying in that area.

In that case, I probably used the wrong terminology. Such places where nudity is mandatory don't exist in the US. Most US beaches do not allow toplessness for women. (Strangely, for men it is allowed, despite having remarkably similar nipples.)

WriterAlexis Even in specifically "nudist resorts", nudity is not mandatory. I was once asked to be a "plus one" for a friend going to her father's birthday party. It was only when we were on the way to the party did she tell me that it was going to be at "Sunshine Acres" and I should not be surprised that most of the people would be without clothes but I should not feel any pressure to be naked myself. It was an interesting day

youdontknowme Sure, but I doubt many of our members appreciate voyeuristic photos being traded here.

Make a poll and we will know it for sure. Otherwise it is only a assumption.

I am sure many people, even among those here, enjoy photos of beautiful girls in nothing but a chastity belt. But there are better places to exchange them than this forum.

It depends on the particular place. Policies can range anywhere from "clothing optional" to "nudity required whenever sensible" - nobody is making you undress in cold weather in any reasonable place, for example. How closely that policy is followed is another matter, if you are a newcomer visiting a long-standing member... no wait, long, standing members are not appreciated there... a well-established frequent patron possibly belonging to the club that runs the place, you can often get a bit of leeway even if the policy states something else.

to write something again on the original topic. I wonder if chastity devices go mainstream, what would they become mainstream as? As protection in a marriage/relationship from one partner cheating on the other? As an educational tool for parents? As a measure of the state (chastity belt laws)? Or as a means of self-protection from attacks? That would perhaps be a very interesting discussion about which of these scenarios would be most likely?

Counter cultural rebellion.

But that would be a step further, i.e. the reaction to what would happen

Or a reaction to the current status quo.

Not that I believe it would happen. This thread is by nature speculative.

of course

Sasha Or as an evolution of feminism, ie if a guy isn’t in one women won’t even talk to them.

But once they become accepted by the mainstream I’d foresee lawmakers taking advantage of it, implementing them instead of prison for various crimes.

Pretty sure both of these are the premise of many a fetish story.

Male cages have gone from being an extremely niche thing to something that can be bought in at least some high street sex shops, and the designs have improved hugely. There are new cage designs showing up from the Chinese producers every few months at this point. Manufacturing quality and flexibility for plastic products continues to improve quickly. and it wouldn't hugely surprise me if, a decade from now, practical plastic female belts reached a similar price point. They wouldn't be inescapable, of course, but they could be tamper-evident.

The growth in male cages hasn't lead to huge societal changes, although from the sales figures, I suspect they are getting more casual use than previously (heck, I even saw a chastity cage / pokemon meme being circulated between what I assumed were relatively "normal" students). I doubt there will be much of an impact if belts go the same way.

Spork There are some estimates going around that around 2% of adult US males have tried a chastity cage. Probably a bit more in the LGBTQ+ community (probably less so the T, since it is mostly the women wearing cages there) and fewer straight ones, but while that is far from mainstream, that is well into "if you are in any way interested in below-the-belt specialities, you probably heard of it" territory.

youdontknowme I am very happy that it is purely the realm of fantasy, and hope it stays that way.

Sasha Honestly the biggest harm I see on the dating side are the inequality and the risk that this will promote relationships where partners have no trust in each other. If those factors are mitigated, that could be a viable future.

Penal chastity is probably best left to the realm of fantasy though. With a corrections officer holding the keys, chastity devices sure would fall into cruel and unusual territory quite quickly for many prisoners, and as much fun as that can be when the prisoner is fictional, I do not really buy into the whole "criminal scum deserves no better" stuff.

youdontknowme Agree entirely, and yes it definitely would get into that very quickly.
Thats why I truly hope it remains entirely the realm of fiction and fantasy

Chastity belt topic. No cages.

Sasha But once they become accepted by the mainstream I’d foresee lawmakers taking advantage of it, implementing them instead of prison for various crimes.

i think that the legislator would create new problems for himself, i fear that permanently aroused criminals tend to commit further crimes more quickly
i think the best thing would be that it only becomes mainstrem when it is used as a protection tool in whatever form

A mainstream I'd say top priority is increased security to 100% (high tech metal etc) and remote control by app etc. No undetected escape.
