Sorta wonder what would motivate a religious conservative sex-negative family to get one for their daughter
At my request, for the reason I outlined above. I am not wholly without power in my family dynamic, especially as I get older. And if I am going to be belted, I am going to seek as much comfort as feasible. It is not the first time I have requested physical modifications.
Here's the goods, only look, don't touch
I won't spontaneously strike up a conversation with my mom about this, but I have a very different outlook. It may be biased by my high baseline of anxiety, but I would sometimes freakout because I couldn't even see my genitals. What if they weren't still there? To me, it actually seems less restrictive that I get to see her and say 'Hi' every morning.
Besides, everyone here who is having supervised showers/releases also gets to see and not touch. With at least a second person seeing, to boot.
WriterAlexis I am not wholly without power in my family dynamic, especially as I get older.
Glad to hear. I feel like what you often hear about families with extreme views is how a feeling of powerlessness on the offspring's side is considered a feature, not a bug. I am happy to hear that despite your less-than-consensual situation, your agency as a person is respected.
WriterAlexis What if they weren't still there? To me, it actually seems less restrictive that I get to see her and say 'Hi' every morning.
If it was your idea, it definitely makes sense. But looking at Fancysteel's product catalog, that thing kinda leaves an impression of "the porn belt". FS produces a lot of adult entertainment media, so in that context it makes it feel like the clear shield was, at least as far as FS is concerned, not so much designed for the wearer's viewing, but for more voyeuristic purposes. Which seems somewhat antithetical to the modesty enforcement that more traditional shields provide (and that seems much more in line with conservative values)
But yeah, anxiety handling seems a lot more valid than that.
WriterAlexis Besides, everyone here who is having supervised showers/releases also gets to see and not touch.
I mean, I would assume touch is part of any proper cleaning regimen, and it is more the type and duration of touch that is restricted. But that is just a side note, the key difference I see is that in the case of a hygiene unlock, the exposure is just a side effect of technical necessities to get that area clean, while for the clear shield, it is a deliberate design choice.
Also, I sincerely hope that anyone who is forbidden from masturbating for an extended period of time gets hygiene unlocks more often than permission for... ahem... recreational touching of those areas.
your agency as a person is respected.
Nobody is ever going to hand you your dreams. You must demand them.
permission for... ahem... recreational touching of those areas.
Ever since I lost my unsupervised release privileges, I have been making a rousing argument for having the right to full bodily autonomy. Namely, to use all parts of myself for all purposes for which they were designed, including pleasure, and to share that pleasure with whomever consents to do so. Now I realize that is an extreme counter position, even for mainstream parenting standards. But I'm hoping to negotiate it down to 20 minutes in the bathroom with my electric toothbrush once a week. Sometimes a girl needs to really just focus on her dental hygiene, you know? All I need to devise is a reason it has to be done completely in the nude.

Depending on your age, I would not call that extreme. It would be quite radical to expect them to be happy about it, sure, but if you are too old for strict curfews, "begrudgingly tolerate while voicing disapproval" is a perfectly normal parenting approach. Once again, your reluctance in revealing anything about your age makes it hard to contextualize your posts.

You seem to be a capable fighter.
WriterAlexis Sometimes a girl needs to really just focus on her dental hygiene, you know? All I need to devise is a reason it has to be done completely in the nude.
Dental hygiene is just a part of body hygiene, and taking care of that typically requires full nudity. That is the whole reason bathrooms have locks, so you can take care of all your body's hygiene needs even if you are modest about nudity, without anyone disturbing you.
It makes complete sense. Take off your clothes, take off your belt, use the toilet, clean your dirty body in the shower, take care of your grooming needs, clean your dirty teeth and... clean your dirty mind. Just a complete hygine package that certainly has to involve both complete nudity and an electric toothbrush.
WriterAlexis Namely, to use all parts of myself for all purposes for which they were designed, including pleasure,
If such thing is allowed... why do you have to wear a chastity belt?
WriterAlexis But I'm hoping to negotiate it down to 20 minutes in the bathroom with my electric toothbrush once a week. Sometimes a girl needs to really just focus on her dental hygiene, you know? All I need to devise is a reason it has to be done completely in the nude.
Dental hygiene... of course.

Shared feeling.
youdontknowme clean your dirty mind
Something something importance of setting achievable goals and having realistic expectations something something. lol
Ines If such thing is allowed... why do you have to wear a chastity belt?
I mean, it seems obvious that she and her parents disagree on what her rights are. So if their position on it is pretty far from what she can tolerate, it seems only fair that she enters negotiations with a position that is equally far from what they can tolerate.
MissBlossom Something something importance of setting achievable goals and having realistic expectations something something. lol
I reckon unrelieved arousal is not going to help her get her mind any cleaner.
WriterAlexis All I need to devise is a reason it has to be done completely in the nude.
Also, I would argue that one should not really need a good reason for being completely nude in the privacy of your own home, but the sort of parents that lock their daughters into chastity belts will probably disagree on that.
youdontknowme . So if their position on it is pretty far from what she can tolerate, it seems only fair that she enters negotiations with a position that is equally far from what they can tolerate.
Agree. However it seems that she accepts her parents authority.
Ines Agree. However it seems that she accepts her parents authority
Seems a bit more complex than that to me. Accept seems like a strong word from the impression I get, it seems closer to "conditionally tolerate".
youdontknowme
I was joking that for some of us cleaning our dirty mind is not an achievable goal or a reasonable expectation! lol
MissBlossom That it will never be completely clean is a given. But going from climbing-the-walls-horny to normal naughty person could still be a considerable improvement.
youdontknowme Seems a bit more complex than that to me. Accept seems like a strong word from the impression I get, it seems closer to "conditionally tolerate".
Yes, I see that she is not devoted, but it seems that without her acceptance she would not have to wear a belt.
In my family there are women more actively involved and other less, but everyone of us is a willingly user.
Kaboom. I'm borrowing this line and polishing it a bit.
youdontknowme honestly the transparent shield seems very pornographic to me.
I also think it's unsuitable for a parent/child constellation, but I find it interesting for a couple constellation, it's so close and yet so far away
but i will admit it, it would drive me crazy to be able to see my private parts all day but not be able to touch them
it would drive me crazy to be able to see my private parts all day but not be able to touch them
I'm not looking at them all day. In fact, I see them about exactly as often as anybody else. Even without a physical barrier, for hundreds of years women have been told that their genitals are inferior, shameful, and not to be touched. The psychological barrier foisted on a billion women has been far more insidious.
Because I like to play with narrative structure, the past month has inspired me to work on a modern adaptation of Persephone and Hades, except I've personified my genitals into Cate (short for Hecate) as the goddess of magic, pleasure, and the Moon. She's been locked away in a cage made by Hephaestus. I have to fight to free her, and then she will one day grant me powers and pleasure.
WriterAlexis I'm not looking at them all day
I've never done that either, but I often had situations in which I lay in bed in the evening (without pants) and looked at my locked abdomen. If I could see everything now and not touch it, I would certainly go crazy

I reckon that as a liberal German, you probably spend more time without clothes than an American from a Mormon family.
youdontknowme religious conservative sex-negative family
er, these nice people do often have mindsets that seem medieval, old-testament style to the rest of the world.
And can sometimes be mistaken for Middle Eastern nightmares. In the case where "fundamentalist" takes over as dominant word, even over Christian.
