Why are people made to wear these?

[purplepoppy]

Just for fun, in the UK, parents will often make their teenage sons and daughters wear these at bedtime. I'm not sure how common they are in other countries, but most of us in the UK remember how uncomfortable they were. But why wear them to bed?

To stop you using your phone all night

To stop you eating a whole tube of pringles

To prevent you giving a rapturous round of applause

Other, please state.

They're to help people get over their habit of biting their nails in their sleep. They tried putting larger ones around the neck, like vets give dogs to prevent them from biting their stitches, but they kept falling off, and were uncomfortable to sleep with.

I would love to have a pair. I would become a human sculpture, unable to touch myself or even scratch an itch without Mistress' consent. It would fuel my desire to please even more, to prove my unwavering devotion through these seemingly mundane punishments. As I lay there, my wrists secured, I might entertain Mistress with a song of praise, a serenade to her majesty, while she leisurely sips her champagne.

These look like they’re meant to stop finger sucking or at least make it uncomfortable.

The clapper has been replaced by Alexa. Let your kids have their hands back parents.

Well, no real idea, but that device will never succeed in preventing a guy from wanking, considering the wide variety of possibilities ;0)

Better than my tightly laced boxing gloves; they got sweaty!

To break children of the habit of thumb sucking.

I could still change a light bulb with those on...

Since when have these been in common use by parents on their teenage sons and daughters? I live in the North of England and the only place I've seen these are around the neck of small dogs.

So that the kids can practice to twist their wrist around?

Looks like something to stop them from masturbating 😂😂

[Iron_Man]

That’s strange. It looks like a masturbation tool but yet it’s a man’s hand no thank you

[LiamS95]

To stop the girl from masturbating all night.

[Jennz6]

How did you know @LiamS95 ?

[Nikki1989]

I have an idea, and I think it should be made mandatory for some men.

[MisterWack]

@Nikki1989 what is the idea?

[Alex-Snow]

To keep teen boys from jerking off... But they will find other ways to wank!

[CrabCakes11]

To prevent masturbation

[BetaBucks]

It wouldn't have stopped me

[CrabCakes11]

@BetaBucks yeah me neither. It’s the equivalent of a “do not loiter” sign

[OfMiceandMen]

Prevent hairy palm syndrome.

[Jennz6]

Isn’t it supposed to be around your neck?

[dean53AU]
