Newbie question for those who wear belts/devices: how long did it take before being locked started to feel “normal”?
I’m newly belted for my partner, & while I’m enjoying the delicious little secret of it all — especially when we’re out together — my brain is still convinced I’m walking around with a neon sign that says, “Yes, I’m locked. No, I’m not in charge here.”
At one point during a solo shopping trip, a guy started flirting with me while I was locked, & my brain immediately went, “Oh no, he knows.” Completely irrational, obviously… but also not exactly ruining the thrill.
Did that public self-consciousness fade for you, or did you just learn to enjoy it?
