For many women, a chastity belt isn't merely a means to discourage masturbation or give them a greater sense of security. Even allowing for less sexy aspects such as maintaining good hygiene, being locked in steel is erotic and exciting, proving profoundly provocative despite the associated inconveniences. In the previous chapter, we looked at how to reduce the nuisances that come with metal panties, but that's really only half the story - if you're turned on by surrendering your sex, then you'll want to make doing so as thrilling as possible.
In the same way that opening a beautifully wrapped present is a much bigger deal than taking the very same gift out of a scruffy carrier bag, the manner in which you and your partner approach your chastity belt can make a world of difference to its meaning. For instance, if you're allowed to unlock yourself for a shower when you come home from work, you could simply collect the keys from where you tossed them by the bathroom basin that morning, but how much more significant it would be if you had to fetch them from under your partner's pillow! In both cases, you're being trusted not to take advantage in his absence, but the latter will remind you of what the keys represent every time you bend over the bed - not only when you extract them, but when you put them back again after.
Locking a chastity belt presents similar opportunities for intimacy. Even if your partner doesn't insist on personally securing the steel each time, you can nevertheless present it for inspection after you've fastened the lock, perhaps proffering the keys while otherwise still naked. The thought that they'll stay in his pocket while you remain in your belt can liven up even a Monday morning, regardless of whether you do anything more before heading off to work. By turning something that could be mundane into a special ritual, however short, you'll not only strengthen the meaning of your chastity belt, but also your relationship. Will you be alone in smiling when the metal asserts itself under your skirt later that day, or will your man also find himself recalling fond memories as he brings out your keys along with those needed to open a far less meaningful door?
You can take things further by relinquishing the right to touch the keys at all, ceding them completely to your partner along with the unlocked belt. That might see you having to keep your hands on your head while he attends to the metal, or even accepting a collar to which you must be cuffed before your belt comes off. Swapping one potent symbol of submission for another can be powerfully arousing, locks ensuring you'll never leave your partner's control no matter which you might wear. Might he take advantage of your helplessness by teasing you before returning you to the steel? Regular cleaning can be anything but routine when you're brought to the edge and left begging to come each time, whereas impromptu inspections can prove just as maddening - even if all your partner does is casually caress your nipples or tantalisingly brush your inner thighs, be that flagrantly in private or surreptitiously somewhere more public.
To up the stakes, and consequently the thrill, wear your chastity belt in more challenging situations - perhaps where the steel will be perilous to be seen, yet you'll have to work hard to keep it hidden. Whether a meal with family or an evening with unsuspecting friends, you'll be endlessly distracted by the metal under a short, clingy dress, your partner not needing to be there in person to make things deliciously difficult. He might insist on belting you at the last minute before leaving you to stew in his absence, or simply deny you the keys - however much he might make you plead for them first! Of course, if he comes along, you can be in for even more fun, it only taking a cryptic comment to make you squirm, let alone fingers threatening to lift up your skirt. Others might dismiss such things as no more than the affectionate games of a loving couple, but you'll be unable to ignore their meaning. Will you cut your plans short so you can go home and relieve your pent-up passion, or will you find yourself forced to stay to the end, your face flushed with a mixture of arousal and anxiety?
While it's inappropriate to flaunt your belt in front of strangers, you can still flash the steel when you're sure no-one will see - something that can be especially thrilling when told to do out of the blue, seeing you having to trust your partner even as you prove he can trust you. There can be no doubt about that if your belt can't come off without his key, but playful disbelief about whether you've been good can be just the start of a sexy scene. Have you made your belt wet with “naughty” thoughts, showing how much you need to stay in it? Or might the sexual arousal that your partner finds serve as grounds for light-hearted “discipline”, perhaps even a “punishment” that you'll actually find positively pleasurable? Pretending that you're an escape risk might see you bound to the bed as your partner inspects the inside of the metal for signs of “unauthorised” arousal, the inevitability of such making such games even more fun!
If you like formal rules, you can write a contract which specifies when and how you should be belted, as well as under what conditions you'll be unlocked. Such an agreement doesn't need to be legally enforceable to be exciting - indeed, it doesn't even have to be fair. You might find yourself having to earn points for your pleasure, or else be motivated by a desire to avoid demerits that will see you staying stuck in steel for still longer. Equally, you might be expected to submit to further, sexually charged impositions, accepting restraints or relinquishing clothes, perhaps paying forfeits that will see you all the more desperate for your belt to come off! When the slightest mistake sees you accruing extra time, you could end up facing frustration that stretches far into the future, leaving you utterly reliant on your man having mercy on you! Perhaps that might require you to share your fantasies first, the price of release being to tempt your partner with further possibilities he can help make real.
If you're attracted to wearing a chastity belt because of how it limits you, it's likely that you're already acquainted with other restraints, not needing to have the allure of being locked in more metal explained. Many manufacturers of belts cater for the very common interest in bondage by offering a range of matching items, it being possible to purchase sets including wrist and ankle cuffs constructed of the same silicone-lined steel. With co-ordinating collars available as well, you can fulfil your fantasies in style - be that being led on a leash while still locked or left bound and belted until your partner is ready to play. Beyond the aesthetic appeal, however, there's no reason why you can't simply augment your belt with a collar and cuffs you already have, or else choose accessories with other considerations in mind. As such, we won't be discussing these more familiar restraints in any detail here, instead looking at a few additions that can particularly complement a modern female chastity belt.
At first glance, you might not think that a chastity belt would be compatible with other sex toys, considering how the metal is meant to prevent penetration, but the same steel that stops anything getting past it can also keep something inside. That can make for a lot of fun when combined with a remote controlled vibrator, but even an inert presence will soon prove maddening when you can't take it out. Not enough to satisfy, and yet impossible to ignore, just a short stint with a padlocked plug is likely to leave you desperately wet, there being no way to escape its tantalising stimulation without your partner's permission.
You can turn your belt into a challenging “unchastity belt” simply by locking it over your favourite toys, noting the need to consider safety - be sure anything you insert has a broad base or an integral cord with which you can easily extract it. A clamshell vibrator will work particularly well beneath a close-fitting crotch shield, there being no possibility of it slipping out even as it drives you to distraction. A love egg will similarly stay in, the wire often capable of being wrapped around the back of a belt to leave its control perfectly placed for your partner to press as and when he decides you deserve its pleasure. For a more passive sense of being occupied, a jewelled plug is an eye-catching accompaniment to a belt with a rear hole or chains, emphasising your submission even if you don't subsequently take more between your cheeks.
Many chastity belts, both mass-produced and custom-made, have optional plugs that can be mounted inside them, taking such play to another level. Often resembling a stack of balls, these are designed to allow some degree of movement - either sliding along the slot in the front shield, or following the curve of a rear cable or an additional strip that can be secured over a hole at the back. That lets such plugs shift slightly as you move your body, but stops more pronounced or deliberate movement - you probably won't be able to bring yourself off with even a front plug, no matter how hard you try! Nevertheless, the sensation can be very provocative, a combination of two large plugs leaving you feeling not only very full, but impossibly flustered if you're expected to appear presentable. Who might ever guess the cause of your discomposure?
As with the belt itself, it's important to introduce plugs slowly, never committing yourself to wearing them for longer than you can take, and always having the key close to hand in case of emergencies. Use appropriate lube, and accept that you're going to be distracted - the sensual haze that plugs provoke may spice up dull housework, but it isn't ideal when you really need to concentrate.
By itself, a chastity belt won't stop you from spreading your legs - a fact that you may be tempted to take advantage of should frustration drive you to try and find ways around the metal. To make it harder to get up to any mischief, you can add a pair of thigh bands - the steel equivalent of stocking tops, supported by chains that take the place of garter straps. Secured to your belt's side rings, and with a further chain or padlock holding them together in the middle, these additional restraints won't just reduce your mobility, but limit your choice of clothing as well. You can forget wearing trousers when your legs are so limited, let alone going anywhere in a hurry, instead having to adopt a ladylike gait - regardless of whether you're allowed to wear a skirt to hide such hobbles or have to suffer a pair of sky-high heels as you shuffle around otherwise naked.
Locking thigh bands are best considered as bondage paraphernalia, too impractical to be worn for long lengths of time unless you're particularly masochistic. Quite apart from the rattle of locks and chains, the cumbersome metal will make even the simplest of movements more challenging, the constant inconvenience stressing your submission as the unsympathetic steel cuts short your stride. That makes them more suitable for when you want to feel a stronger sense of being controlled, whether to make sexual games more thrilling, or as a means of discipline. Will your hand be so tempted to wander where it shouldn't when you know that doing so will earn you such an imposition? The prospect of having to wear thigh bands as a punishment will serve as a deterrent, even before they're locked to your belt!
As their name might suggest, thigh bands are similar to the waist bands of chastity belts in many ways, not least that they're often made of steel lined with silicone. They also feature locks that can usually be fastened in one of several positions to allow a limited degree of adjustability. Given the range of places such bands can wrap around the leg, getting their size exactly right is less critical than for a chastity belt, it being enough for them to sit somewhere above the knee - not so tight as to impede your circulation, but snug enough not to slip. By changing the length of the chains, you can easily experiment with different positions, as well as increasing or reducing the amount of restriction imposed between your legs - a lone padlock, such as that used in Figure 4.3, being particularly severe.
Many manufacturers of custom chastity belts offer matching thigh bands, which have the advantage of being made to measure in addition to their superior materials, albeit at a correspondingly higher price. You can also buy cheaper, mass-produced equivalents, either separately from the same suppliers that sell Chinese chastity belts, or as part of a package that may also include other restraints. So long as your belt has the necessary side rings, there's no need to purchase everything from the same place - a pair of cheap thigh bands will work just as well with a custom-made belt, even if the silicone is more prone to come off the steel. Merely take a moment to check that you'll be getting all the locks and chains you need, to avoid having to buy these separately from a hardware store.
If your chastity belt prevents you obtaining pleasure from more intimate places, you'll find your hands naturally heading elsewhere. Even if your nipples can't bring you to climax, they'll surely become more sensitive should you be driven to tweaking them out of desperation, offering selfish possibilities that you may prefer to be denied. Compared to the protection offered by a pair of metal panties, a regular bra simply can't compete, especially if you're locked in steel stocking tops and garters as well. If you want to surrender still more of your body, then something similarly sturdy is required - a chastity bra, with rigid metal cups and straps made of chains, having a padlock in place of a bow.
Bras can be difficult at the best of times, but a chastity bra takes their discomfort to a whole new level. Although most have an adjustable band, this is usually just another strip of steel lined with silicone, guaranteed to dig in rather than stretch over the skin. Sometimes available only in a single size, the hemispherical cups are similarly uncompromising, forcing the breasts to conform to their unnatural shape while making little allowance for movement. Moreover, the bulky construction is hard to hide beneath clothing, being much better suited to a bedroom outfit where it doesn't matter how much it might rattle. Chastity bras are heavy and sweaty, but they excel in two areas - preventing access to the nipples, and catching the eye with their shiny stainless steel.
Once locked in a chastity bra, you won't be able to see more than the edge of your breasts, instead looking down at your frustrated reflection in the impenetrable cups. In place of your skin, your fingers will slide off smooth metal - that is, if you aren't tugging at the padlock that condemns you to remaining in the clutches of such a bra until your partner decides otherwise. Yet as provocative as a chastity bra may be, it's no less modest than many bikini tops, such that you could attend a costume party in little more than it and your belt - so long as you're not afraid to be the centre of attention with such a conspicuous combination.
Rather like thigh bands, chastity bras can be bought to match some custom-made chastity belts, but there are mass-produced equivalents available as well. The latter are much cheaper, although their price can still vary significantly, so it benefits to shop around if you're on a budget. As might be expected, their quality is inevitably poorer, yet they're not grossly more uncomfortable as a result - after all, a metal bra is never going to be a forgiving garment! As with the corresponding chastity belts, custom-made bras tend to have less scope for resizing their bands than their Chinese counterparts, relying instead on being made to measure, whereas mass-produced chastity bras usually employ the same screws and holes we looked at before. Don't expect to see meaningful cup sizes with either - indeed, if you have larger breasts, you'll find a depressing lack of options, these bras being aimed at a less-endowed market.
The intimate embrace of a chastity belt can add a thrill to the most mundane of activities, be that shopping for groceries or sitting through a boring meeting, but the hug of steel is even more exciting when you adopt a deliberately exaggerated role. Whether you prefer to forget your everyday concerns in favour of becoming your partner's pet for a while, or like to make the cleaning more interesting by playing the part of a maid, a chastity belt can help you get deeper into character, allowing you to explore more selfless forms of submission.
You don't need an elaborate costume to pretend you're a harem girl, it merely taking a sexy nightdress to suggest you spend your days lying around in the hope of making your master happy. If your belt has D-rings, you can literally be chained to the bed, seeing you having to wait until he deigns to have his way with you. Will your partner immediately unlock the metal that makes sure no-one else can ever bring you pleasure, or will he expect you to entertain him first? You might tempt his majesty to use his keys with a seductive dance, or else treat him to the intimate attentions that a king expects from his favourite concubine.
If your fantasies are somewhat darker, then forget the nightdress and surrender to more in the way of steel. With a collar and cuffs, you can become a slave girl, bought and owned by a man who asserts his rights over every aspect of his property. The addition of chastity bra and thigh bands can transport you to a world where women are regarded as mere chattel, the clanking metal leaving little doubt about your captive status even without further chains. Will your master allow you to enjoy him making use of the holes that belong to him, or will he merely expect you to obey his deliciously cruel instructions, knowing that you can never escape his commanding thrall while he holds the keys?
As a humble maid, you must also serve the man of the house, your chastity belt stopping your hands from wickedly straying when you're supposed to be cleaning! Frustrating metal makes a fine accompaniment to austere Victoriana, even if the steel that stops you succumbing to sinful temptation can't be seen beneath an ankle-length dress and apron. A chastity belt works just as well with less modest maid's outfits, however, especially those so skimpy that you barely need to bend over to put your submission on show. Regardless of whether you have to complete all the chores to earn your keys, or just wave a duster about a bit before your employer decides to take advantage, the locked steel will ensure you remain devoted to duty - no matter how it might drive you to distraction!
Are you a naughty girl who needs putting in your place, or do you want to throw off the trappings of adulthood and become teacher's pet? When worn beneath a pleated plaid skirt, a chastity belt will keep you from getting up to anything too grown up, whether you're spread over your partner's knee for a much needed spanking or trying to earn yourself extra credit by doing as you're told. You can be as bratty as you like, but the unyielding metal will maintain discipline, encouraging you to learn your lesson and listen to Sir! Will he tell you to stand in the corner, or will he teach you a thing or two about human biology while you're locked in steel? Either way, you won't forget who's in charge!
As a trophy wife trapped in a chastity belt, you'll have little choice but to wait for your husband to come home, needing to dress to the nines if you're to drive him wild with desire. Are you being punished for suspected adultery, or is the padlocked metal merely a precaution to make sure you're pining for him as you make yourself look pretty? Even if you indulge in a day of pampering while your partner's out working, there'll be no doubt about who you're doing it for if you're belted throughout your beauty treatments! If you're feeling really daring, head out for a night on the town once you're all dolled up, knowing that no matter how many telephone numbers you might receive, there's only one man you'll be waking up with the next morning.
Pets must also wait to be played with, a chastity belt preventing you from getting up to any mischief whether you're confined to a cage or curled up at your owner's feet. If you want to be taught to perform tricks, or else long to sit up and beg for a treat, then have your partner add a belt to your collar and leash! Your hands might as well be paws as you scrabble at the steel, but most belts can nevertheless still be worn with a tail, regardless of what type of animal you like to become. Whether a sexually frustrated kitten learning to lick and lap, a pony benefiting from an intimate bridle, or even a human cow seeking heightened pleasure from milking, a chastity belt makes a great addition to such games, emphasising the extent to which you've been tamed.
Have you been transferred to a special institution in a last ditch attempt to cure you of your chronic masturbation insanity, or sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of pleasure because of your wayward behaviour? From being the subject of experimental sexual therapies to receiving the rough handling a recidivist deserves, a chastity belt can help make such flights of fancy feel more real. Might you find your hands cuffed to your sides as you're thrown to the bed by a cruel guard intent on having his way with you, or will the doctor in charge be more methodical about rendering you helpless prior to starting your treatment? Maybe you've been kidnapped, and become a damsel in even greater distress because of the belt your abductor locks around your body, forcing you to satisfy his wicked whims as you futilely seek a way to escape.
Even if you wear your chastity belt all day, every day, it can still add spice to more occasional roleplay, temporarily given a different meaning when you and your partner want to change the mood. You needn't take things too seriously - indeed, it might be unappealing to do so, however titillating certain themes can be to play with. The steel will shield you as steadfastly no matter how you fool around, the frustration it engenders often more exciting the further you head from reality. If it arouses you to feel teased, trapped or taken, then turn the metal towards making those feelings more intense, putting your regular life to the back of your mind in order to play make-believe - as long as doing so is fun!
As we've seen throughout this book, a chastity belt is a very personal thing. That's as much the case for how you choose to wear it as it is for how it fits, with women's desires differing as much as the shape of their bodies. If any of the ideas in this chapter spark your fancy, then suggest trying them with your partner - perhaps they'll become a regular part of your play! Conversely, if something doesn't appeal, or you find that it just doesn't work in practice, you can simply leave it on these pages - as we suggested at the start of this book, there's no prescribed path with female chastity, but plenty of possibilities.
You can wear a chastity belt to get you and your man going prior to him giving you a good seeing to, perhaps spending no more than a few minutes in metal, or you can wear one whenever you're apart as a symbol of your commitment. You can wear a chastity belt to feel safer in unfamiliar surroundings, or wear one to liven up the commonplace, surrendering to steel to enjoy a sense of frustration just as much as the delight of being unlocked. Whether a means of getting you hot and bothered, a tool for training and discipline, or an intimate reminder of your relationship, it doesn't matter what other women do with theirs, so long as your chastity belt brings you what you want. Be sure to wear it safely, acknowledging the reality of steel no matter where it may take your imagination, but above all, be sure to enjoy the time you spend enchasté!
