Ok I was gonna ask how would you go to the bathroom but I found my answer and a few other good facts that should make up your mind...
"For males, the shield usually covers a tube in which the penis is held facing downward with perforations at the bottom of the shield to allow urine to escape."
"Modern chastity belts are designed for long-term, continuous wear. However, before investing in a chastity belt, it is usually advisable to clarify one's budget and goals, then balance them against the potential physical and mental discomfort.
"Florentine"-style waist belts can be incompatible with vigorous sporting activity because they make bending forwards or sideways at the hips difficult.
The choice of materials used in the belt is also important: some plastics, alloys (especially those containing nickel), and rubber (such as that used in neoprene) may cause allergic contact dermatitis after constant contact with the skin.
Weight gain or a protruding belly may make the fitting of a "Florentine"-style belt difficult, or render an existing belt uncomfortable for constant wear. For long-term wear, a hip belt that rests on the taper of the hips is usually preferred to a waist belt that encloses the narrowest part of the waist.
Badly designed or adjusted devices can compress male genitals in a potentially harmful manner.
Devices made entirely of plastic, as well as plastic single-use verifiable closures, are available for wearers who must travel through airports or other places where metal detectors are used.

Purchasing and wearing a chastity belt
For custom made stainless steel belts, accurate measurements for the wearer's body must be supplied according to the manufacturer's specifications because they are impossible to tailor.
After the belt is delivered, a period will normally be required for the wearer to bend and adjust the belt for fit and comfort, as well as for the wearer's body to become used to wearing the belt.
The wearer should check regularly for bruising, edema and chafing where the device contacts their skin. These, as well as pinching when walking or sitting, can be caused by ill fit or an inappropriate lining material.
For belts with a "thong" arrangement, access to a bidet can greatly simplify hygiene. The belt must also drain well enough to prevent water and bodily fluids from being trapped against the skin and possibly causing chafing or rashes. A hairdryer may be helpful for drying difficult-to-reach areas of skin after bathing.
During periods of long term wear, the belt should be removed occasionally to clean off accumulated skin, urine and body fats—especially parts of the belt which are in constant contact with the body.

Chastity belt
( THIS WILL HELP YOU DECIDE!)
Venetian chastity belt on display in the Doge's palace. (Claimed to be 16th–17th century.)A chastity belt is a locking item of clothing designed to prevent sexual intercourse and possibly masturbation. The purpose may also be to protect the wearer from rape or temptation. Devices have been created for males and females.
The use of such devices against another's will would now be considered abusive in most western societies.
The term "Chastity belt" is also used metaphorically in modern English to mean an overly protective device or practice. The term carries a derisive connotation and may also imply that the subject is antiquated, or is cumbersome, or provides unnecessary protecti
Chastity belts are surrounded by myths and folklore, the most common of which is that they were first used by crusading knights on their wives. However, there is no evidence of the existence of chastity belts until ca. 1400 (over a century after the last Crusade), and pre-20th-century chastity belts had padded linings which had to be changed fairly frequently, and so were not practical for uninterrupted long-term wear.
The Bellifortis sketch.
16th century satirical German woodcut
Excerpt from US Patent 995600 by Jonas E. Heyser. The entire patent document: Page 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6The first known mention of chastity belts in the West is in Konrad Kyeser von Eichstätt's Bellifortis, a ca. 1400 book describing the military technology of the era. In it is included a rough drawing, accompanied by the Latin text: "Est florentinarum hoc bracile dominarum ferreum et durum ab antea sic reseratum." ("These are hard iron breeches of Florentine women which are closed at the front.")
The period of the chastity belt's diffusion to Europe beyond Italy, and of its relatively most common use (though this was still quite rare), was the 16th century and the 17th century — so that the classical historical chastity belt can be more accurately described as a "Renaissance" phenomenon, rather than "Medieval".
In 1889, a leather-and-iron belt was found by A. M. Pachinger—a German collector of antiquities—in Linz, Austria in a grave on a skeleton of a young woman. The woman was purportedly buried sometime in the 16th century. Pachinger, however, could not find any record of the woman's burial in the town archives. The belt itself, along with most of the rest of Pachinger's collection, has been lost.
Two belts have been exhibited at the Musée de Cluny in Paris. The first, a simple velvet-covered hoop and plate of iron, was supposedly worn by Catherine de' Medici. The other—said to have been worn by Anna of Austria—is a hinged pair of plates held about the waist by metal straps, featuring intricately etched figures of Adam and Eve. There are other such belts at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg and the British Museum in London. Most have been removed from display because the authenticity of these belts as Renaissance devices has since been called into question.
From the 1700s through the 1930s, masturbation was widely regarded as harmful in Western medicine. Numerous mentions can be found in medical journals of the time of the use of chastity belt-like devices to prevent masturbation in children and adolescents.
Designs for many anti-masturbation devices were filed in the US Patent Office. Anecdotal accounts suggest that the use of anti-masturbation devices on juveniles continues in the United States and Europe through the present day. [1]
Modern chastity belts made from stainless steel are descended from improvements on the Florentine design by John Harold Higginbottom of Sheffield, England. His company, Tollyboy, still makes chastity belts today.
Custom made chastity belts are necessarily a cottage industry, so many firms have come and gone in recent years. Access Denied (USA), Kastley (Germany), Reinholds (composite belts, Germany), Pourquoi Pas (Germany), and Atelier Mode (Cologne, Germany) are among the more notable makers to have gone out of business from the 1980s to the present (2006).
Some Vaishnavan sadhus (ascetic practioners of the Hindu faith) have a tradition of wearing arbandh—or metal balls or cups enclosing the penis—for decades at a time as a way of demonstrating their strict celibacy and dedication to austerity.[2][3]
In the year 1998, racial riots against the ethnic Chinese in Indonesia prompted the production and sale of "anti-rape corsets" by Simon Sanjava of West-Java. These devices were of Florentine design with a waistband and a single crotch strap with no holes for going to the toilet. They were made of imitation leather and steel and were secured with a combination lock. [4]
On February 6th, 2004, USA Today reported that in at Athens airport in Greece, a woman's steel chastity belt had triggered a security alarm at the metal detector. The woman explained that her husband had forced her to wear the device to prevent an extramarital affair while she was on vacation in Greece. She was allowed to continue her flight to London on the pilot's authority. The incident was said to have happened just before Christmas in 2003. [5] Weekly World News also wrote an article about this event. [6]
[edit]
Modern use
Today, chastity belts are sometimes used in consensual BDSM play and as a form of erotic sexual denial. They range from simple leather or plastic toys commonly sold by adult stores to expensive high-security steel devices made by a handful of specialist firms.
Although no reliable statistics are available on the use of chastity belts, anecdotal reports from manufacturers suggest that most belts sold in Europe and the US are for men.

A "cage"-type device which encloses the male genitals, intended to prevent stimulation and erection. "Metal-detector safe" models also exist; these are made entirely of plastic and fasten with tamper-evident plastic seals.
A "Florentine"-style belt (named after the Bellifortis reference) has a band around the waist or hips, with a "shield" running between the legs to cover the genitals.
For Florentine belts, the design must accommodate a long-term wearer's needs to pass both urine and feces:
For females, the shield is commonly a flat band with a slot through which the labia can protrude and through which urine can pass. (Some manufacturers fit a perforated cover—sometimes called the "secondary shield"—over this slot to both to prevent the wearer from being pinched when sitting and also to prevent masturbation.)
For males, the shield usually covers a tube in which the penis is held facing downward with perforations at the bottom of the shield to allow urine to escape.
Belts with a "thong" arrangement have a single strap running up between the buttocks to the waistband. On some, this is a plastic-coated cable or a thin curved metal rod; on others, it is a steel strap with an aperture over the anus to allow passage of feces.
Belts with a "V"-arrangement have a pair of chains attached together the bottom of the shield and apart towards the back of waistband in a "V" to leave the rear open.
Most modern chastity belts are fastened with padlocks. Some high-security designs nest the lock within a shroud to make it more difficult to attack with bolt cutters. Some of the more expensive designs have locks that are integrated into the belt.
Modern chastity devices of both cage and Florentine types are often designed to also work with genital piercings for greater security.

Modern chastity belts are designed for long-term, continuous wear. However, before investing in a chastity belt, it is usually advisable to clarify one's budget and goals, then balance them against the potential physical and mental discomfort.
"Florentine"-style waist belts can be incompatible with vigorous sporting activity because they make bending forwards or sideways at the hips difficult.
