George female with a chastity belt needs, and basically no belt can be so well tailored to prevent a Q-tip coming under the shield.

While this may be true (I’ve never attempted) for me at least, I’m sure many others are different, my belt prevents me doing this mostly in a mental capacity. If that makes sense.
I agreed to this system realizing my self destructive behavior, and feel very wrong attempting/succeeding in cheating this barrier.
Many factors play into this of course. Mainly that I agree it was an addiction, and that once I’d gotten past the withdrawal (for lack of a better word) it’s not a great physical issue not having it.
Hopefully that makes sense explaining why my belt at least does work in preventing it.

On the topic of abuse though. Many kids/people stay in the abusive environment despite knowing it’s wrong. And I’m talking about SA and physical. It’s so much deeper than simply going to the relevant authorities as you and others mentioned

    George it can be very complicated and painful to cut that virtual umbilical with their parents when they really become independent. Redefining that relationship with your parents is hard, IMHO.

    I think everyone goes through some anguish the first time they make a big decision that their parents don't approve of.

    For me it was my husband. My parents didn't approve of him and I wanted to marry him. They never threatened to disinherit me or cut me out of their life or anything like that, but it was still difficult to trust my own judgement when the people who had guided me my whole life were telling me to do something different.

    For some people it's their career, their educational choices, or something else, but making your own decisions is part of becoming an adult, and I think it's often difficult at first.

        MissBlossom From your posts, I'd say marrying your husband was a wise choice, if difficult.
        Did they eventually accept him?

            Tonyand03 Did they eventually accept him?

            I wouldn't say they ever "didn't accept" him. He was never unwelcome in their home and they paid for the wedding.

            They just tried to convince me that he wouldn't be a good husband.

            At the time he had only worked part time jobs and they thought he had a poor work ethic, but I knew him better. He was very responsible and he always kept his word. They thought I was making excuses for him because I was in love.

            I knew in my heart that if he married me he would take care of me, and he did. We've never been rich, but we always made ends meet.

            And once they saw how hard he worked after we were married, they did admit that I was right about him.

              I have so much anguish about my decisions even when my parents do approve.

                  WriterAlexis Offtopic. It seems you have received a registration confirmation e-mail to you hotmail address. It worked this time. However I still don't recommend to use hotmail or outlook mailboxes for this purpose

                    George So the old fashioned "think and engage your brain, potentially google some stuff" technique is the best we have.

                    Doesn't take much thinking lol

                      I might archive this thread if people are okay with it? It's derailed significantly from the original topic, so I feel like those conversations might be better left in a dedicated thread for them?

                      George that @Angelina is real and stand alone from @Laura. Is it a fantasy? Probably not, because the site is rather somber.

                      I always didn't care if someone really believes me or not, but clearly I'm not paid by Laura to post here 😂

                      According to what I said, I come from a similar situation (I was a minor at the beginning and was locked in a belt against my will), but I also have doubts about some of the stories here. But I have to make one thing clear: I leave it up to each user here to decide whether he/she believes my story and the other way around I never say openly whether I believe a story or not because it's not my job, I think in any case users have to decide for themselves

                        Be sure to not rush into a new keyholding arrangement. Make sure that any person offering to hold your keys knows and respects your objectives and boundaries and that you know their intentions well enough to trust them. Better to try to manage the keys yourself until you have found someone you can trust than to run into the next situation where you get something you never asked for.

                        CutiedeTahlia Update! I turned 18 today, and my parents gave me my keys back!

                        congratulations, now you can think about what you want to do with the keys. 🙂
