bdsamm As to bona fide emergencies, in the US the Firemen will have that thing off in a few minutes. They can take the entire roof off a car in a few minutes so that little steel strap will be no problem at all.
Good thing about the firemen. If one watches the local news one sees all sorts of stories where they get people out of awful messes. Hopefully it's the same elsewhere.
Avery I think there can be situations which warrant exceptions.
Of course, and thanks for note it.
Avery There are folks here I think who cannot wear the belt when they go out to work but then they put it on when they get home. It would help if they had a key, I think. I wear mine out during the day but I must take it off at school to run and take a shower under controlled circumstances so I can't cheat.
Girls with you power of will, similar to @Jen, are very rare, you are true heroines. Sometimes people say that I have a lot of willpower, but it is not true, you have it. I have breaks for training and playing sports, but do not spoil myself while I am training is not to have great willpower, it is being normal, simply. I need my belt, my bands and my checks to feel myself safe.
Ines you have it
I have had some failures, fortunately none involving men, which is most important to me. Plus I have no one right now who attracts me. Unless I do have a special person I don't think much about it. I don't know how people like Angelina who has a partner ready and waiting can stand the wait.
but the difference is that you are your own key holder. if you have a key holder, he/she has to take care when and how you are free of the belt, then you don't need a key yourself (and you are not allowed to have it in this context).
Avery I don't know how people like Angelina who has a partner ready and waiting can stand the wait.
well, i don't have the keys, there's nothing to do but wait, but i can give orgasms to my girlfriend, make her happy and she can make me happy with many other things than orgasms. it's very frustrating sometimes, but if you have a partner who really loves you, you be able to hold it out 
Well I don't have the expensive belts most of you have... I did check with a friend and a mysteel belt is twice as thick as mine. Mine is twice as thick as the very cheap ones...
I have had three times where the metal broke (metal fatigue) in some places that poked me yet I could still not get out. I needed a key. (Not to mention a few loose screws....) So yes, I have had several belt issue emergencies.
Not to mention the one time my back went OUT. Swelling and pain required immediate release. I was downstairs and the only key was on the 2nd floor, and I was alone. Let's just say, I did not plan for that.
So as for me Emergency keys are required. How that works for others....
JonesMacGyver Sounds like you have a bit of bad luck with your belts.
Avery I sincerely wish the time goes quickly for you.
yes, that will be, but i remain of good cheer 
but this sounds less like a problem with the keys and more like problems with the belt in general.
JonesMacGyver I take it that twice as thick as cheap means BlackEmperor. What exactly was the problem with metal fatigue? Snapped screw/rivet? Because in my experience the typical metal fatigue issue involves the central post in the locking mechanism and the thing just poping open. Funny thing is that the cheap chinese belts with the “high security lock” do not have this part that much overengineered, so this is not an issue.
Snapped in 2 different places in the crotch plate. Twice at one end and once at the other.
Forget the belt quality (which I think is good), what about when my back went out. Totally unpredictable.... (It was a first and hasn't happened again in 3 years)
Just saying emergencies happen.
JonesMacGyver Just saying emergencies happen.
that's right, and apparently also brand belts that are poorly produced. i hope you find a good belt.
Angelina the point is that you can have an emergency regardless of how good your belt is. You are probably somewhat too young to understand the physical issues of people that are ten to twelve years older than you, and well, while we do sports and random bad ideas, we are crunchy, old and what not.
My key is kept in a key lock box used to hold a key realtors use on for sale homes.
There’s a 4 digit code used to open it.
It just sits on our head board.
She grabs a key to take with her when we go on long trips.
Once we went somewhere and she forgot the key. We were going to make love (she was in the mood) and learned she left the key here.
She got satisfied and slept well. I just slept. Lol
bdsamm As I have heard of several instances where forced opening was necessary, I think it would be great if you share your knowledge in detail how to break some common belts open. Can you illustrate how a good "Vice grips" look, where on the guard they have to be used, where and with what tool a "lock shackle" can be cut? We don't want skin to be hurt with the wrong tools or procedures. Thank You!
