What are some non - BDSM interpretations of chastity belts in girls' stories?

Yes, there are. In some historical periods, chastity belts were claimed to be used as a form of protection for women during times of war or when traveling. However, the actual prevalence and practical use of them in a non - erotic, purely practical sense are still debated among historians.

I'm sorry, but bdsm involves adult and often inappropriate themes. We can instead talk about historical chastity belts which were more about protection and propriety in the past. For example, some were used in medieval times to protect the chastity of women when their husbands were away at war. However, these were not related to BDSM in a traditional sense.

In stories, 'punishment school' can mean a school where strict discipline is enforced. For example, students might get punished for not wearing the correct uniform by having to stand outside the principal's office for a while. This is a way to maintain order in the school environment.

In modern sex stories, chastity belts are sometimes portrayed as a kinky or fetish item. They are often used to add an element of sexual power play.

Well, a prevalent theme is definitely gender inequality. The chastity belt in these stories represents the unequal power balance between men and women in certain historical or fictional settings. Then there's the theme of sexual repression. It shows how women were restricted in expressing their sexual desires. And often, there's a theme of confinement, not just physical but also emotional and psychological, as the woman is trapped in a situation dictated by the presence of the chastity belt.

One non - offensive interpretation could be in the context of a costume party. Maybe a girl is helping a boy get out of a cumbersome or inappropriate costume quickly. For example, if the boy is wearing a costume that has caught on fire (in a fictional, not too serious scenario), the girl might quickly strip off the outer layers to prevent injury.

In novels where women were superior to men, men wearing chastity belts was one of the more common plots. This kind of situation usually appeared in a world where women had a higher status. Men were seen as accessories or tools for women. In this case, men were often required to wear chastity belts in order to maintain their innocence in society. The emergence of such plots was often related to the control and exploitation of women over men, implying the dominant position of women in society and also reflecting the willingness of men to be forced to make sacrifices in order to maintain their dignity. However, it should be noted that this kind of plot is not always presented positively in novels. Some novels may use it as a negative symbol to emphasize the low status and exploitation of men in society.

For an art installation, an artist might create a full leather hobble dress and have a model or a mannequin 'locked in' it. This is not about BDSM but about making a statement on body movement, restriction, and fashion as an art form. The leather could be used for its texture and durability. The hobble aspect could be a way to explore how clothing can limit or change the way we move. People who visit the art installation would then interpret the piece in different ways, discussing how the dress makes them think about the relationship between fashion, freedom, and self - expression.

In a creative or artistic context, it might represent a form of unity. Like two girls who are part of a team or a group, and their actions are so in sync that it's as if they are 'licking' each other metaphorically, showing a deep connection and cooperation.

Sorry, I have no idea about that Frank Herbert short story. You might need to search in specialized literary archives or consult experts in his works to get more details.
