I've been wearing my belt for 8 months uninterrupted. Had these observations.

1 ) My erection got less after a while. It's look like, my brain noticed the barrier between my legs and adapted the erection.

2) I need to take a shower, when I am not aroused.
It happened before, after took off the belt I start to masturbate.
But, last time, nothing come out. I was worried, and a bit shocked...

3) I have deep imprints on my skin around my hips and it feels leathery.
The area where the shield touches the thigh, the skin has turned brownish.

Have some of our male similar experiences?

    Easy explanation:
    Skin adapts to the amount of physical stress it experiences. Look at your feet. The soles have a much thicker skin including a much thicker layer of the 'dead' cells that form the cornea. The belt causes friction and stress and the skin adapts. Nothing to worry about.

      I think @curious is right, it doesn't sound very worrying now, but if it gets worse you should have it medically monitored.

        Hey Markus,
        which belt are you wearing? I'm locked in a BBCS full belt and haven't observed such changes of the skin. Maybe every body reacts in a different way...

          I don't observe any change in skin for me.

          Inferior metals will tarnish the skin, particularly silver used in plating. This is called
          argyria and it is often permanent. It's why surgical steel is used for piercing jewellery rather than silver.

              Sin They said is stainless steel, but from China, who knows.

              Yeah :/
              I want to keep wearing it, so I will see what happens to the skin later.

                    Markus It may well be stainless steel, but there’s a lot of different grades/alloys. Some are magnetic others aren’t. Some are more wear resistant than the others, some can even rust believe it or not. But are technically still stainless steel.
                    So it’s probably stainless, just not the highest grade or most desirable alloy for the application

                        Sasha I am not that familiar with metals.
                        Maybe the work I did had an effect on the quality. I had heated the shield to bend the cable pipe.
