male chastity main stream

I don't know if this thread is still active but I remember recently seeing an article in the mainstream media that talked about chastity...I can't for the life of me remember where though so sorry I can't post it here. It didn't paint the best picture unfortunately and presented it as something of a oddity but I think any kind of awareness is good, just knowing others do it makes anything seem less weird.

I think a book like 50 Shades would be good - any authors out there?

Hello to everyone btw, I am new here

 

I don't know if it will ever be "mainstream" but it has come up in the mainstream press A WHOLE LOT lately. The cat is out of the bag even though the snake is locked in a cage. ;-)

 

It would be interesting if it was discussed in Marie Clare or Cosmo. The it will go mainstream.

 

alice In Bondage - in the mainstream press A WHOLE LOT lately
Do you have any example links?

 

I'd be interested in this too.

If ever it become mainstream, then the sky'll be the limit!

 

Great to see a discussion on a topic my wife and I have chatted about.
We dont think it would ever become main stream - nor would it be something that all males would partake in.
Maybe the "under a certain age you shall not dip thy wick" scenario would be good to stop the underage (or immature) pregnancy issues, and also MAY curtail an amount of sexual crime.......
BUT - females will want SEX just as men do.......so some males will have to be free.

We think that chastity needs to be more OPEN...and then men in a device would have no qualms about gym times etc when wearing one. Maybe even see them as the "wow you are doing that for your wife" as an exaltation rather than a looked down upon sexual difference/deviance.

It would be GREAT if the males/couples wish to pay chastity were accepted OPENLY and not hidden away. For us it would be great for that extra openness.. we are a naturist couple and have wondered about me wearing when we went nude somewhere. Alas we will not as we know some great people from naturism and we do not plan to upset them or our friendship by introducing something that a LOT of people see as a sexual / private issue

 

Oh.....what a good idea!! I think I shall try to write that story myself!!

 

Definitely scope here though.

How many marriages now break up? Depending on location, sometimes 50% or more. And often for straying, real or imagined.

So maybe this could be 'sold' vanilla as a way of giving extra commitment.

But I reckon it's not quite time yet, though who knows?

 

I don't have links at the moment, but it came up on 2 different radio shows and Californication... after that there was a high profile "call in" person acting upset that they had been "forced" into one and that led it to being on the news, even though they couldn't show the CB6000 device that they were all clearly talking about.

I heard that a call in on a sex tv show also brought it up. Someone mentioned to me that Savage had talked about it in a column too?

 

This is a dutch TV show that has a section on male chastity.

There was talk about male chastity on the tv show "The Doctors" the other day. It wasn't that great.
First they talked about it being a "chastity box," and the urologist implied priapism would occur, which... has ANYONE had that happen in chastity?

He had some okay advice about nighttime wear, but, he seemed to be undereducated, and because it's a fetish it didn't warrant more research from him.

There ARE medical dangers to watch out for with male chastity, and I would have loved a more researched discussion, especially from someone who knew what on earth this stuff was even called. I don't think we'd ever live in a world where Travis would be recommending these to people, but, a truthful dialogue would have been great. Oh well. It's just "The Doctors."

I think male chastity will always be perceived as a kink, or something worse, for as long as stereotypes of male/female behaviour are around.

Let's face it.... In our gender typecast cultures, how can a man who has his cock locked away (regardless of whether or not it is an informed choice) be a REAL man??!!! After all, we men are supposed to go around BEING promiscuous... It's a sign of virility according to some!!!!! The more women we bed, the more 'powerful' we are, right...??!!!

These are VERY generalised views and I hope my sarcasm is clear to all, but stereotypes are POWERFUL. And as long as men are perceived as BEING powerful, locking away our genitals is not going to be a popular or celebrated 'mainstream' choice!!!!

Indeed, if we chose to deny our sexuality in this way, we are gonna be considered 'freaks' by many factions. And if we are 'forced' into chastity, then we are going to be considered 'weak' as we (as 'powerful' men) have allowed this to happen to us!!

So, IMHO, those of us who practise chastity in any way shape or form are going to have to deal with such stereotypes and misinformation surrounding our choice.

But it is OUR choice nonetheless!!!!!

Vive la chastity I say!!!!!

Men are losing their power these days and there are many reasons as to why Here is one that you may all find interesting: Estrogen-like endocrine disrupting chemicals (EEDC) are exogenous, man-made chemicals that alter the functions of the endocrine system and cause various health defects by interfering with the synthesis, metabolism, binding or cellular responses of natural estrogens. EEDCs have been found in various plastic products, flame retardants, pesticides and many other products that are needed for daily use. Some of the greatest effects of EEDCs are on puberty, a period of rapid physiological changes like growth spurt, maturation of the gonads and the brain. Estrogen, one of the key hormones required in puberty is crucial for the sexual differentiation. The structural similarity of estrogen disruptors with estrogen allow them to bind and activate estrogen receptors and show a similar response even in the absence of estrogen that can lead to precocious puberty (PP). Major EEDCs found abundantly in our environment include; dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), dioxin, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), bisphenol A (BPA), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), phthalate esters, endosulfan, atrazine and zeranol. In girls, DDT has been linked to earlier menarche. Dioxin causes abnormal breast development in pre-pubertal girls. BPA has shown to cause PP in pubertal girls. PBB causes earlier menarche, thelarche and earlier pubic hair stage in pubertal girls. PCB's showed a significant delay in puberty in pubertal boys. De-feminization, thelarche, or early secondary breast development are shown in pubertal girls when exposed to phthalate esters. Endosulfan affects pubertal boys by slowing down the timing of reproductive maturation. This article provides a possible structure-function relation of the above mentioned EEDCs which interfere with sexual development during puberty.

 

i was recently thinking of sending Email notes to different talk shows describing male chastity and its benefits. now i really motivated to do so! if others joined me in doing so then i think we'll start seeing the topic being talked about!

 

All it would take would be for devices to be sold in more mainstream locations. If sex shops had a chastity section, shoppers would say, "what the hell are those?", ask questions, and do research when they get home. And the Miller cages are extremely marketable. So do your part... go to your local sex shop and demand they carry chastity devices!

Then who knows... someday they might be sold next to condoms in your local pharmacy.

 

someone should write that.......

 

Not sure this helps the cause but here's a link:

I agree with you @Mascara^Snake . Male Chastity will become mainstream but for it to be excepted in society it will still take a very long time. Their may be a lot of men locked up but not very many of them are willing to go public about it. Untill people aren't embarrassing to stand up and say Look At Me it's going to take awhile yet. You may see it since you're so young but I think I'm to Old to see Chastity become mainstream

 

That would make an exciting Movie

 

So cosmopolitan did an article on it.

I do believe that while change is coming in acceptance of chastity as a lifestyle, I also recognize that it will take a long time to get there.
Changing society seems to always take a long time. The LGBT community can attest to that, but also think of inter-racial marriage, and women working outside the home. Change does happen, but it takes forever. We can, however be happy that we are on the cutting edge!

 

Good honest article without any sneering or shaming. Hope we see more. I laughed when I saw that the sub makes sure Mistress's phone is plugged in and she has fresh water before she goes to bed. Exactly the same here.

 

Some cultures already have something like it........"Karezza" comes to mind. No doubt you are right Ms. Amanda but how can we make our efforts to spread the word more effective? Perhaps the first phase is to raise awareness among women of the prevalence of pornography addiction and that it may be occurring in their own homes without their knowledge. Once we all understand the problem and how it's impacting womens relationships with their partners perhaps the world will be open to solutions. Inexpensive surveillance technology comes to mind and of course chastity devices once the magnitude of the problem sinks in.....

Thank you again Ms. Amanda for your leadership on this topic (as always).
