Do you ever wish you could have chemical castration or a chastity belt just to avoid the worst of puberty?

Q: I think it would be great sometimes to have chemical castration, or a chastity belt to keep away the darkside of male puberty. The overwhelming sexual feelings, the masturbation, the unwanted attention that girls receive from guys when the guys go through puberty.Anybody can answer if you ever thought just for a moment they might be a good idea. I am not advocating this but from time to time wished I could have escaped the feelings.

A: Yes. Im 16, and wish I could. Not just for the feelings and masturbation, but for myself, and being able to prove to a girlfrend I would be loyal. I wouldnt want any visible side effects though, besides something to prove my restraint. Also, I woldn’t want any long term effects. (for examle, the drive does come back, but after visible sign of my quitting.) So when I reach my ‘age’ I can stop the pill or whatever, and my stopping could be noticed or would lead to short term side effects to discourage ‘cheating’.A chastity belt seems like a scary idea though. And I wouldnt want to be caught dead in one in the present soceital view.
