Is it common in your religion or culture to make young girls wear chastity belts for protection or discipline?

Question

I just answered a disturbing question from another member who says that her parents found out she was sexually active and ordered her a chastity belt. She did not mention her religion and
she implied that she did not know whether chastity belts are common or not. Until now, I did not know that chastity belts were still being made, except for the purposes of sadomasochism. Do you support the use of chastisty belts? Were chastity belts extremely common in the 19th century or were they merely used in "extreme" cases, such as at girls correctional schools? Is there a website that sells chastity belts specifically for young girls, and not for adult "play"? Finally, is anyone else as disturbed by her question as I am?

Answer 1

Yes, there are websites t hat make chasity belts for men and women. I think the idea is hot being in chasity belts for my man. Especially if it means im all his and no one else can unlock it except him. This to me is just for fun roleplay though if your into the whole control thing with your partner. We would not take it to the extreme its more of just playing out a control fantasy and feeling owned. Now the ones your talking about seem to be bad as these people have no choice to partake in wearing one.

Answer 2

Not a US issue as far as I know, in any religion. Chastity belts really are relics from the Middle Ages, rarely used anywhere I think. Chastity belts really don't have anything to do with religion, they're either to keep the girl "pure" so she'll fetch a higher price when married off or sold, or to keep wives faithful, or just because fathers don't like the idea of their little girls having a sex drive. The more common third world practice currently is the barbaric practice of castrating girls at puberty by cutting out their clitoris so that sexual pleasure is greatly reduced along with (theoretically) any desire to "wander" or even to masturbate. Another way of preventing masturbation was making girls wear thick gloves to bed or tying their hands to the bedpost. This was done in the US as recently as the early 20th century. Of course, the drive is still there, it's just the outlet that's curtailed.

The modern "faithfulness" approach for some is strictly voluntary, involving the woman having her labia (inner or outer) pierced with a wire or chain with a lock for which her bf has the only key.

There is a chastity belt for boys, by the way, also Medieval (in more ways than one): a sort of hard leather "condom." For good measure, some came with hard knobs on the inside to cause pain if the penis ever started to become erect.

The horrible things we do to each other in the name of "righteousness."

Answer 3

I wasn't aware of their usage in most developed nations. I have heard of similar measures in 3rd world nations to insure virginity, but not in the US or Europe.

Of course, this is just what I'm aware of.

Edit:
Added a wikki reference. Interesting to note a story about a woman's belt setting off a airport metal detector. Seems that they have recently been used as anti rape devices.

Answer 4

Very disturbed. I would consider this to be a form of mental, if not sexual, abuse. The parents should be reported to Child Services, or whatever that state has to look out for the interests of captive children.

Answer 5

I have never heard of them being used these days other than in S&M ways. That is just disturbing. If I was the girl I would not allow it, period.

Answer 6

No. yet virginity is important in my faith for the two adult males and females human beings. so as that's mutually as the instructions in my faith are segregated with the help of intercourse and mutually as while a woman turns 9 years old she is sheltered from the exterior international till she is married.
