Dear Friend,
We all know the history of C.B. and therefore I will not repeat that. I will however endeavor to share with you my thoughts on the current issues relating to C.B. Some of what you read below you might have read on other web-pages. So forgive me if at times it sounds repetitious. This column is intended for the person that is or anticipates to be locked up more or less on a permanent basis.
Why C.B:
C.B. fans come from all walks of life. Most of them acquire some sort of C.B. for play; be it for temporary restraint, pain, depravation or any other erotic function. For these purposes there are many "toys" available or they can also acquire the expensive CB that are intended for longer term wear. My observations below are addressed to the ones who wish to or have already acquired a long term belt. The only belts that meet standards for long term wear are the Wm. Jones type or Walter Goethals belts. Long term wearers (24 hours 7 days) come in two categories: There are the ones that are dominated by their partner and are required to remain belted for very long periods. The other cathegory are the ones who require protection for them selves or from the outside world. While in my situation at the beginning it was intended to be an erotic game, my wife never responded to that idea. But when she found that she could protect me form "self fulfillment" and from getting carried away with other girls the belt started to make a lot of sense to her. That is when the C.B. became a "constant companion" of mine.
Selection of C.B:
As stated above there are only a very limited amount of belts on the market, that provide, security, comfort and durability for long term wear. Evaluate very carefully which model fits your needs best. For the average built person the Wm.Jones type models are the best. For persons with a "beer belly" you might try the Walter Goethals. Make contact with the manufacturer. Ask any questions you have. Also ask it they are willing to make adjustments if the belt does not fit.
A proper fitting belt of the Wm. Jones type must fit your body in the following ways:
All this sounds like a very tight fit, but it will provide the necessary security and as it will not be able to rub against the skin it will eliminate all chafing.
The chances are very good that at first your belt will not fit properly. That is, where it becomes very important that you have a good communication with your belt maker. In my case I had my belt returned a number of times to adjust the waist belt and the shield. I have visited Wm Jones in person and have been on the phone with him on a very regular basis. For those who visit Orlando, you might plan a visit to Wm.Jones for personal measuring or just finding out more about belts. It is a short ride from Orlando and Bill is a very friendly and accommodating person.
Once you realize that your destiny is to be belted more or less permanently you might ask your belt maker to make some special adjustments on your belt to meet your personal needs and comfort. In my case I had Bill Jones remove the lock that holds the penis tube in place and rivet it permanently to the shield. That can only be done if you know exactly at what height your tube must be placed on the shield. I had him make a shield that has no slot or additional holes and therefore my penis does not get pressed against the slot in the shield. It is slightly more difficult to insert the penis. But as this is a somewhat infrequent process the additional comfort is well worth the small problem in inserting the penis.
As the belt becomes part of you for very long periods it is not allowed to cut your circulation at any place, it must give you sufficient freedom to participate in just about any activity and it must allow for unhindered body functions. This can only be achieved by asking your belt maker in assisting you with the adjustments on your belt. For long term wear the belt can not be considered an instrument of pain or restrain but must be looked at like an orthopedic appliance assisting the person in some way without creating any undue discomfort or injuring the body.
Your partner:
Your partner, the key holder, must be a person who is sensitive of what I stated above and must assist you in finding the right belt. If it is a D/S situation the decision obviously is made by one person and the other submits to his or her wish.When it is an issue of protection it most likely will be a decision that is made mutually.(A true partnership). The wearer must understand that it is for his benefit that he is being made to wear the belt and the key holder must recognize the fact that he or she is depriving the partner of some freedom which in a good partnership should be no problem. With this kind of understanding the sex life and love life between the two partners will vastly improve. From my own observations a can attest to that.
Additional suggestions for comfort:
While you will have to spend an additional two minutes in the toilet and it takes you little more time when showering, elimination and hygiene is no problem.If you are sweating a lot it helps if you wear an undershirt and tuck it under the belt. This will create a barrier and absorb the swea. You can move the shirt up or down to have a dry part of the shirt between you and the belt. It also helps to wear a pair of underpants like the Jockey Pouch underpants with short legs. The are made of a stretchy material and form a barrier between the shield and your legs and absorb any sweat in that area.
So you are locked up:
You have lost your freedom. You get frustrated in the bathroom. You can not touch your favored "toy". Many times I wish I could get out of this "prison" but then I realize how positive this has been to my wife and me. We are much more focused towards each other. We trust each other much more. Our sex-life has very much improved and we learned to communicate with each other much better. These are some of the reasons why I do not mind to be belted. I have been on long hikes, went camping, skiing, swimming, played tennis and soccer, worked in the garden, go to work and travel all while being belted, with no adverse problems.
Who should be locked up:
Any adult male or female who has a partnership that might have an issue that affects their trust or sex life, or has too much self centered activity, might be a good candidate for a C.B. More often the male might be the issue in such a situation and therefore he should not be hesitant to accommodate his female partner by allowing to be belted. (This statement reflects my vantage point .) A positive, trusting, open dialogue will definitely help in making the right decision and might bring the partnership to a much higher and better level.
It might be "kinky" for some, but for others it has been the best since "Motherhood and Apple Pie". "Try it, you will like it".
