Sure. We are both part of the forum for long enough to know ... Both statements can exist in parallel.
I'm probably touched and impacted by life events where the way of dealing with contraception was disastrous, to say the least. That's why I want to somewhat emphasize that contraception which either requires active usage and/or medical (pharmaceutical or surgical) interventions in one's own body can be problematic. The medical methods make the contraceptive benefits of a belt seem superfluous at first glance. If that works for people - and a majority of people in western probably rely on that - they should be happy! The consequences if it doesn't (or doesn't any more) can just be extremely graveβ¦
To turn the page back: With full consideration of the mentioned cases of "regretting belting", I'd still dare to say: Undoing one's chastity devices (physically) is a matter of key(s) and a few seconds. In horror cases it might require the right place, tools and skills for lockpicking or breaking the belt and (?) mere minutes. Undoing a pregnancy is a very different territory⦠(*)
And I'm not just telling this with respect to the US and in light of the current Roe v. Wade-Descision (cp. own thread: https://unwedchastity.org/d/732-roe-vs-wade-overturned ), or with respect to even stricter countries. Even in western Europe that pregnancy might change the career of entire families. I wish everyone that this happens in a more positive way.
EDIT/ Update
(*) For the sake of completeness: As is adverse reactions to drugs etc. Could also occur both together or in rapid succession.
