Somehow, I suspect that Child Protective Services would consider that to be abusive. The Feminists, ACLU, and a number of other liberal organizations would also likely sue you for interfering with her reproductive rights if they got wind of it.

Why not just tie a kid up in their bedroom. I mean pls. even as a hypothetical question this is horrible.

It is probable that chastity belts were a figment of someone's fevered imagination, rather than actually being made and used. What's effective is having a good relationship with your child, talking about important things, instilling morals and responsibility.

I believe the law states, as a parent, you are responsible for your child's food and shelter. i do not recall a chasity belt as being part of the required list. Forcing her to wear a chasity belt, would violate her freedom, as a u.s. citizen. Sounds as though this is a real problem for you. next best choice, are birth control pills. once she becomes sexually active, education and routine doctors visits are a must. And, a lot of prayers..........

Okay, this was copied directly from Wikipedia.com: "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 another's will would now be considered abusive in most western societies." Going from this, I wouldn't force your daughter to wear such an awful contraption. Like Wikipedia and others above said, it is abuse! Please please please don't force her to wear that. If you're worried about her getting pregnant there is always birth control or such a word as TRUST. Also, don't you think if she really wanted to "do it" that she would take the stupid chastity belt off even if you did get her to wear it?

Well, next time say: This is a hypothetical question... can I make my daughter wear a chastity belt? Clarify the questions everybody!

You can hypotheticaly do anything you want to anyone weaker than you, as long as no one stops you. In this case, if the right people find out, someone probably will stop you. So I would say even if you managed to get one on her, it wouldn't be on her for long, nor would you have custody of her for long. I don't believe prevailing attitudes in our society would allow it for long. I don't know why you are surprised at the answers you got. Hyopthetical or not you asked what people thought and they told you. So, what's the problem? It is, after all, a very loaded question as I'm sure you are well aware now. Remember when Sinead O'Conner ripped a picture of the Pope in half on SNL live? Two days later, David Letterman was hauled into his office by NBC execs and told not to push any "hot buttons". No reference to O'Conner was made but he knew what they meant. He was basically put under orders not to joke about O'Conner's actions. Well, I think you just pushed one big old hot button. I don't think you meant to, but you sure stirred up the bees nest! Well, it's bound to happen now and then if people want to talk about worthwhile subjects. Someone is bound to take things in a way we didn't mean sooner or later. No harm done.

NO

If you want your daughter not to have sex you need to focus on telling her why you don't want her to have sex and tell her the risks. If you belive its wrong to have sex before marriage then tell her that and why. The point is you need to have a conversation with you daughter about not having sex rather then trying to make her wear some kind of contraption to do so. If she isn't an adult you could also make sure to monitor where she is and what she is doing such as making sure she isn't at some guy's house alone with him and that she doesn't bring a guy by the house when you arn't there. But a chastity belt is way over the top and has been pointed out, abusive.

Yes of course. But what is better is the mental image of a chasity belt. The chasity belt could only be unlocked by a priest ( or god if you will) or her owner. Any man in love with your daughter would have to put up with her probably pissing herself at least if not shitting herself many times before the priest could consent to marriage. Just convince your daughter to piss and shit herself at least three times before giving in and youve effectively done it. Any guy still persuing her would of found away to pick the lock anyhow.

The Mna said he doesnt have a daughter! Now, in answer to your question, no, you can't. At least not without severe reprecussion. I.e Mass media coverage, death threats, accusations of sexual deviance (on YOUR end), etc. Because people like the previous ones who answered this question, others in our "civilized society" are too bent on their beliefs being the right ones; not even religion as much as self-proclaimed "morals & values" are the prime catalyst. While I would personally use the "fear of God" method if I have children, i think "being strict is okay. BUT, as I have previously stated, I DO NOT HAVE KIDS, so, I am considerably less credible when speaking on the subject.

That's good idea. You would not have any legal problems if she agreed to wear it. Just expain her advantages of it, especially if she wants to stay virgin until marriage. Wearing chastity belt would keep her from mistakes she might regret about. Modern steel chastity belts are safe and secure and can't suffer her health at all.

I laugh at your pity attempts! Your chastity plan is in vain! Muahahahaha!!!

Er...no. Really. No. My dad tries that, he'll get a punch in the face :)

Are you serious....the short answer is no. Learn to trust her.

Legally I'd think not. I know this is hypothetical, but in the case that you become a parent, I'm going to share this with you anyway. I know many girls who have/had over protective parents who basically told them sex before marriage was ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE AND EVIL AND GOD HATES EVERYONE WHO HAS PREMARITAL SEX AND THEY ARE ALL GOING TO BURN IN HELL!!!! and the result was overwhelmingly that they had sex as much as possible, and all of their parents overbearing attempts at shoving abstinence down their throats did absolutely nothing. On the other hand, my mother has always been very open with me about sex. I was conceived out of wedlock, if my mother told me those things she knew I would realize she was a hypocrite. She told me that it's best to wait until you're in love, and out of school, preferably married or in a committed relationship, before having sex. She also told me that if I planned on having sex, she wanted me to tell her, and though she'd be disappointed, she'd make sure I was on the pill so I didn't end up getting pregnant. This seems to have been more successful, both in my case, and in the cases of other kids I've talked to whose parents are the same way. The point is, teens will be teens. No matter what you do, they'll find a way to experiment. It's much better to be open with your child, and to let them know that they're normal, then to be overbearing and make them think they're evil. Also, the more taboo you make something, the more likely a teenager is to want to do it.

Ummm, maybe a few centuries ago, but I don't think people go for that now days, though it is a nice concept.

No, as you have pointed out, you do not have a daughter, and therefore are missing one of the key components here. Maybe you can return the belt for store credit if it is as yet unused.

No , I'm sure someone would consider that as some kind of abuse

You could probably legally put her in a sleep sack, though that's not a very wise thing to do.

I think the problem is not in what your thinking, it's in the fact of the word "make". That inplies forcing her. And forcing a child is wrong by most laws. I will say it's in my eyes a rather good way to protect a child, and if you talk to anyone who has warn a belt they will tell you that it gives them a feeling of safety. I think if your child asked for it than by all means supply it. They of course would have to be educated about the care and hygene of it. My wife currently wears a chastity belt at times. It's by her choice, although I won't say I didn't want her to. I travel for exstended periods for work and many times she will be locked into it for the entire time I'm away. She is without the key freely, but if in the case of an emergency she has access to a key that is sealed in a glass container. If we have adaughter and she were to ask about it and if she could have one than I would make it available. As far as "making" her, no. I don't see it as a neccasary item, but it does protect not only from per-marital sex, but also rape. As well as would make it nearly impossible to have some worthless guy use her for sex. That is my 2 cents on the subject, and I wish you all the best. On a side note: I personally find it rather pathetic the current state of the world where people that are not part of your family tell you how to run your family. And I'll gladdly go to jail before I will let someone tell me how to raise my children. I can say that as I know I'm not abusive. I also provide for my wife in all ways, and feel that in doing so this should allow me certain benefits of control.

We couldn't get ours to wear one. She didn't weigh enough and kept slipping right out.LOL

That's pretty extreme.

If it comes with a lock and you have the only key.

You cannot put a chastity belt on your daughter's mouth can you?

Don't forget that human beings are sexual beasts and they are meant to have sex. If she is very young, then you need to educate her on the dangers and consequences of underage sex. In the end, no matter what you do, she has free will.

Physically, legally or ethically?

i know everybody id going to shout at me about this, but it is a good idea if she would wear it WILLINGLY as no amout of trust, knowing where she is, ect can protect her from rape, which is one of the most popular reasons for wearing a belt. forcing her to wear a belt is going against sooo many of her human rights as well as the law indeed.

sure that's a great idea. That way you can scar her for life and make her hate you at the same time

I don't think you can legally

Yep. But, if she's like my daughters, she'll know how to pick a lock. It's better to set her out in the yard as bait and whup all of the little ba$+ards that come in the yard. You could have a 3-4 year supply of fresh a$$es to kick!

Are you serious?

Is this like 40 Year Old Virgin where that guys asks if he can stop his daughter from ever starting her period? You could, but I don't see her sticking to it for very long.

lol! i rekon you could.

Well there are ways. Good belts you can find at www.neosteel.de and www.my-steel.de My daughter got her's for her 16th birthday. Now she is 19. As long as she wears it she gets full financial support. But in the last 3 years she also learnt how good the belt is for her. Of course there was some resistance at the beginning. The belt is opened every week for 4 hours for cleaning.

why would you want to....if she doesn't want to you shouldn't make her

wtf?!

Are you living in the 12th century? No? Then, the answer to your [hypothetical] question is also no. Good question though and I understand totally where you are coming from.

Are you serious? Are your parenting skills so poor that you have to resort to forceful methods to "control" your daughters?

No, just give her a good life example, teach her the moral lifestyle that you feel she should emulate, give her rules and regulations and consequences, talk to her and pay attention to what she is doing. Don't allow her into dangerous situations, such as parties where there is drinking and/or drugs, allowing her to stay overnight at coed sleepovers (you'd be surprised how many clueless parents go for this), allowing males in her room with a closed door (also, you'd be surprised at the clueless parents) and the like. Good luck! I've been where you are. It's work, but you can raise morally strong young women. I raised 2.

I don't think you can find those on the market. (Or, maybe on ebay from someone who collects stuff from the Middle-Age!)

Making her wear a chastity belt is child abuse,but if you explain the benefits of wearing one and she agrees,so much the better. Actually my daughter wears a tight rubber panty girdle,which serves as her chastity belt.
