Potential Improvements if Chastity Belt Becomes Mainstream

Angelina

Ines The chain, I am afraid, is irreplaceable.

I'm afraid you're right, I'm still considering alternatives because I don't want the wearers of chastity equipment to look like prisoners

Angelina chains feature quite prominently in things like jewellery, biker wallets, mail armor or punk accessories without making the wearer look restrained.

these are harsh words, but sometimes when i look in the mirror it feels like this

of course there are also counter-examples, i just write how i sometimes feel about it. not always, but sometimes.

Saintprudence And while it’s fun to hypothesize lawmaking scenarios, I don’t want any more real-world reluctant or unwilling wearers. Normalizing it puts many more women and men into belts.

i think talking openly would be a big step forward, regardless of whether it is voluntary or not. i already wrote at the beginning of my time here in the forum that it would be nice to be able to discuss mysteel or neosteel like the discussion about samsung or apple. 🙂

Saintprudence mind you, that’s not necessarily a bad thing, but as this site primarily focuses on female virtue, we should at least be aware that there would be a small army of men volunteering to be locked!

i don't see this as a big problem, but some find male chastity generally wrong

I think if they do get popular it will be like the slim-line Fancy Steel variety, so more like a bikini as opposed to a bulky pair of nanna underpants. I can see the plate on the sacrum becoming quite decorative, like in the Britney Spears visible panty line era. The opposite of a tramp stamp!

I'm not a big fan of the rubber / silicon tubing over the steel cables, but it's a necessary evil for now. Maybe there's a better looking way to protect the skin.

More choices in the colour of the metal, like rainbow coloured stainless steel, or gold, silver, platinum, black chrome etc.

High tech materials that are flexible but unbreakable, like some kind of military grade soft fabric where you can still move and stretch without being cut in half.

And like @Angelina said, smart locks will be the norm, with wifi connectivity, pin codes, fingerprint scanners etc.

Blinging up chastity belts would happen at light speed in such a society! The willingly belted would proudly show it off, and the reluctantly belted would use it as a way to reclaim the icon of the freedom they were denied.

Sin There was a strange crowdfunding project in 2013 for anti-rape underwear. From what I could tell, it was just a pair of elastic undershorts, but with reinforcing strips of UHMWPE (also used in ballistic armor). The whole thing fastened at the front of the waistband with a combination lock.

There was enough interest that the project hit its funding goal, despite it getting a lot of negative attention (especially from pop culture commentators). Unfortunately, after posting sporadic updates for three years, the project fell through and the founders vanished with about $USD50k of backers’ money. Oh well.

But I think the idea is sound: it’s now possible to replace the steel cables/bands of a belt with polyethylene straps to make something a lot more comfy and ordinary-looking.

Jen

A visible waistband should be fine

Any messing with someone's belt - like putting glue in a lock - should be assult.

Bidets in public toilets, work, school etc.

Will need easier and faster purchasing - like mass produced belts which local shops can trim the bands on for a custom fit.

Saintprudence

A major downside: I would love to be able to talk about my chastity or Goody’s chastity as casually as discussing my exercise and diet plans. But more public acceptance of chastity also means there will be more people in belts who don’t want to be there. And while it’s fun to hypothesize lawmaking scenarios, I don’t want any more real-world reluctant or unwilling wearers. Normalizing it puts many more women and men into belts.

However, if it becomes more popular, many of the reasons that can turn many girls away from this world will probably disappear. It may mean more volunteer girls.

If chastity belts were mainstream, it would not take long before regulations were codified in some fashion. The chastity laws would be highly controversial, leading to numerous legal battles.

Angelina

should there ever be such laws, i firmly assume that our constitutional court will have to decide on their constitutionality, i don't think that many would simply accept that

An unbalanced judiciary would rule on the case one way or another. The population that does not support the ruling becomes radicalized over the issue and further polarizes the affected countries and the world.

If tensions are kept high enough for only long enough, the spark will come from somewhere, even if you cannot foresee it

Violent street protests spill over into partisan skirmishes. Provocateurs and their proxies escalate the chastity powderkeg until open warfare is declared. Within days, one side conducts nuclear strikes out of desperation, only to be met with an overwhelming counterattack. Nuclear winter sets in.

Ines

in principle all women should wear a chastity belt, I think it is something that helps us commune with our feminine essence and, in general, makes us happier

As the grandchildren of the survivors rebuild society from the rubble and ash, a new chastity religion is formed to unify all peoples around the world behind the virtues of belt wearing. @Ines receives her beatification.

Saintprudence

One other aspect we need to consider: If chastity belts were mainstreamed and normalized, there would be many more male volunteers than women offering to be locked up. Male chastity devices outsell female by a wide margin even now!

I guess so, male chastity community is actually more mainstream than female chastity. The majority of chastity devices available online are like male chastity cages.

Even if it gets more normalized, its origin (BDSM community) would still bother lots of conservative people.

Rina

Angelina discuss mysteel or neosteel like the discussion about samsung or apple

I wish I can create a chastity belt startup and make chastity belt that is more advanced and comfortable, as well as more affordable.

I wish I can make three lineups, male, female, mtf trans-friendly, like any chastity belt manufacturers. However, I might focus a lot more on designing perfect belt for mtf transgenders as:

I can test it on myself! Trying to wear any prototype belts and try to do routine things on myself would help a lot in improving the quality of the belt. I wish I can model myself in it too!
It is something I really want to distance myself from but “sissy” BDSM community would want some belt that really look like female belt but work on male body.

Also on all lineups I really want to make something unique.

Like trying to put emphasis on keyholder - wearer communication and trust, safety for wearers in both security of belt and protection from abuse of the keyholders.

Visual design of multiple choices like colors, belts and accessories with more friendly look. (So it won’t look like medieval item but look more like sleek “underwear”)

Designed with both comfort of wearer during all of routine behavior and security in mind.

Which chastity belt never has ever been like.

if you have some money you can certainly give it a try. you wrote that you see a gap in the market especially among transgenders and yes transwomen certainly want belts that look like women's belts. you might be onto something hot there. if you think there is a market for it you might really want to give it a try 😉

I know from Fancy Steel he test the belt by himself and test every design with different peoples. Male and female.
I see the problem that some people are not symmetrical. This can cause problems with standard designs.

Rina Adjustability. So many cheap knockoff Chinese belts have adjustable design …

Yes. I agree completely. Adjustability is extremely important. I like the fact that my cheap, Chinese belt is infinitely adjustable, and not merely in one-inch or one-cm increments.

I have tried to make the same argument on at least one prior occasion.

Angelina

audioguy58 Adjustability is extremely important

i agree 100%, chastity belts are not cheap and more research should be done to develop belts that still fit when the person weighs +-20 kilos.

audioguy58

Rina …special mechanism that allows adjustment only when it is not worn …

My cheap Chinese belt satisfies this requirement. Another reason why I love it so much.

Jen

Angelina better to make them cheep.

Angelina

Jen better to make them cheep.

yes, that would be an advantage for many who really want a belt, but you have to keep in mind that branded belts are made specifically for the body shape. it's not so much the belt as such, but rather the work that goes into making it that makes it expensive.

ok, another business idea 😂

Kaja Who wears a cb IS a PRISONER.

I just said that sometimes I think I look like one, not that I am one. 😉

Hmmm, well, chances are not bad for them to become mainstream in the gay community what would give the devices for males a further improvement. You could also see the change go on over the years.... when I started being locked up 6 years agoit was not particulary easy to find a good cage online. Most of them were either of bad quality, completely overpriced or both - apart from some premium brands which already existed back then.
Today you can easily find a good and cheap cage on Amazon or Ebay, or have one 3d printed for you.
There are also some new brands like BehindBarz or Cocoon which started there business one / two years ago.

I think the quality of belts will definitely improve among all price ranges, like it did for male devices. And after that more and more people will understanf what you mean when you say "I'm locked" what is really nice... it's just very intimidating always habäving to explain what chastity is and why you like it... people will know what you are talking about.
And who knows, maybe some day people don't need to hide the belt anymore in public. There'd be even more and cheaper professional chastity keyholding services and so on... and maybe one day there'll be chastity belt service shops in shopping malls... or belts and cages in clothing shops. Maybe clothing that have a hole in them so you can see the locked belt through them, or pants which get attached to (and removed from) the belt (when necessary), sort of to use the chastity belt also as belt for the clothes. ... maybe there'll be pants with zippers in the leg parts from top on, so that they can be worn with thigh bands.

Max9 Maybe clothing that have a hole in them so you can see the locked belt through them

Belts would make a nice fashion accessory. I mean, goth/punk subcultures already deck themselves in cuffs, collars and decorative chains, so restraints for fashion are not exactly unheard of. And some belts are just beautiful.

Max9 or pants which get attached to (and removed from) the belt (when necessary), sort of to use the chastity belt also as belt for the clothes. ..

I am just imagining chastity garters... which makes me think of stockings that clip right to the thigh bands.
