Going Public with your Chastity Lifestyle

Austin Madore — Mon, 02 Feb 2026 07:57:36 +0000

TL;DR — Public Chastity Commitment for Men

Definition: Openly identifying as chaste or locked—through visible accessories, online presence, or partner acknowledgment.
Purpose: Convert a private erotic practice into a framework for accountability, identity, and belonging.
Cultural Shift: From hidden kink forums to mainstream lifestyle expression tied to mindfulness and masculinity.
Benefits: Accountability, relationship trust, and enhanced self-esteem through declared discipline.
Essentials: Secure daily-wear device (The Vice™) + symbolic accessory (Looplok).

Being Public about Chastity: a Bold Declaration of Discipline

Choosing to be visibly locked is not merely about exhibitionism; just like the hankie code for a certain sub-culture within the BDSM world, especially in the GLBTQI+ scene, it’s intentional transparency that both makes an identity statement, and both promotes connection between likeminded people.

When we say someone lives their chastity publicly, we don’t mean they plaster it across billboards. We mean they live it in ways that feel natural — so natural, in fact, that their body language, their style, and their presence reflect a deeper commitment.

Nowadays public chastity can often show up as:

A key necklace worn casually under a shirt
A Looplok style ring at the belt or on a keychain
Social media profiles that acknowledge chastity without necessarily eroticizing it
Conversations with friends where you can openly talk about it

These are not grand announcements; they’re more like everyday signposts that tell the world: this is part of who I am today. Not as a performance, but as a lived truth; and I think it’s really beautiful to see how practices such as male chastity has left taboo-land.

Why this shift matters

For years, chastity was something shared in whispers. Something hidden. Something that lived in fantasies more than in life… which is also part of what makes it hot, as with every fetish and kink, but at the same time for sure helped to create a difficulty, for many men, to embrace their sexuality in a comfortable way.

But when enough people start saying yes to visibility, even in small, understated ways, the culture changes. It surely started with the “safety” of online platforms and social media, where one can hide their identity beneath an avatar and nickname. But when the lifestyle creates a community, then what was once shameful becomes normal. What was once private becomes just another lifestyle choice.

Men are discovering that when they stop hiding, something unexpected happens:

They feel more confident
Their commitment feels deeper
They attract people who get it
And their own sense of self sharpens

When you walk through the world with your chastity as a quiet part of you — not a secret, not a stunt — it becomes a source of identity.

Visibility vs. Vulnerability: Walking That Line

Choosing to be visible with chastity is less a bold leap and more a careful negotiation. There is undeniable power in being seen, even in the smallest ways.

These details can feel surprisingly electric, not because they demand attention, but because they affirm our choice. While part of the pleasure is showing off or provoking curiosity, the true power of being open about chastity is about standing calmly and confidently something that matters to you, without fear.

At the same time, visibility naturally exposes you to misunderstanding, and that’s part of the territory. Not everyone will recognize the meaning behind what you wear, and some who do may not know how to respond. Learning to live openly with chastity often means becoming comfortable in your own space without needing approval, explanations, or reassurance from others.

Symbols That Speak Louder Than Words

In the chastity community, certain objects carry meaning not because they are loud or provocative, but because they translate a private commitment into something that can exist in everyday life, or wink silently to other community participants to the lifestyle.

These symbols work precisely because most people don’t notice them, and the ones who do, understand immediately.

Looplok-style rings — worn at the belt, on a keyring, or even as minimalist jewelry, they act as a quiet signal. To outsiders, they look like design details. To those in the know, they’re unmistakable.
Key necklaces — one of the most classic forms of visible chastity. Sometimes worn openly, sometimes tucked under clothing, the key represents trust, control, and a relationship dynamic that doesn’t need explanation.
Clothing cues — tighter jeans, deliberate layering, or fashion choices that subtly emphasize the locked state without being explicit. For many men, style becomes part of the ritual.
Community rituals — participating in shared events like Locktober, posting progress updates, or simply stating “locked” in profiles or bios. Visibility here is social rather than visual, but just as meaningful.
Personalized details — engraved rings, custom locks, colored tags, or small charms added to keys or accessories. These details are rarely decorative; they’re reminders, markers of duration, ownership, or intention.

None of these announce your lifestyle outright. They reflect it.

Benefits of Going Public In Real Life Terms

Living chastely in the open isn’t about making a point to others. Most men who do it aren’t trying to convince anyone, convert anyone, or shock anyone. The real shift happens internally.

When chastity stops being something you “switch on” in private and starts accompanying you through daily life, it naturally reshapes how you relate to yourself. Discipline feels less forced and more embodied. Choices align more easily with intention because the commitment isn’t abstract anymore — it’s present.

Stronger Self-Discipline and Trust in Yourself

Not because you’re being watched, but because your actions and identity start moving in the same direction. It becomes easier to stay consistent when your values don’t disappear the moment you leave the bedroom.

Deeper Partner Trust

Visibility removes ambiguity. When your partner knows you’re living your chastity openly, it reinforces sincerity and reduces the emotional distance that secrecy can create, together with many other (often unexpected) benefits for your relationship.

Less Shame, more Ownership

Hiding parts of yourself takes energy. Letting go of that tension often brings relief. Chastity becomes something you claim, not something you manage nervously.

A grounded sense of Identity

Over time, chastity stops feeling like an activity and starts feeling like a state. Not permanent, not rigid — just integrated. This of course helps in the case you’re inclined for a long-term chastity experience.

How to Be Proudly Chaste — Without Compromise

Stepping into visibility doesn’t require a leap. Most men who do this well move slowly, intentionally, and on their own terms.

It starts with conversation. If you have a partner or keyholder, visibility should never come as a surprise. Talking it through creates alignment and prevents resentment later on. Public expression works best when it feels shared, not imposed.

From there, subtlety does the heavy lifting. A simple key necklace, a discreet ring, or a neutral accessory allows you to test how it feels to carry chastity into the world without forcing attention. You don’t need to explain anything unless you want to.

Boundaries matter. Decide early what stays private, what can be hinted at, and what is off-limits entirely. These boundaries can evolve, but having them gives you confidence rather than anxiety.

Privacy is not the opposite of pride. Choosing discretion — especially online — is often what allows pride to feel safe and sustainable. There is strength in anonymity when it’s intentional.

Being proudly chaste doesn’t mean exposing yourself. It means being comfortable enough in your skin that you no longer feel the need to hide.

Living chastely in public only works if your gear supports your life instead of fighting it.

A device that pinches, shifts, or constantly demands attention pulls you out of the experience. Over time, discomfort doesn’t feel edgy — it feels exhausting. That’s why men who live locked day to day tend to gravitate toward designs that disappear into their routine.

Well-made cages and accessories don’t announce themselves. They become background elements that quietly reinforce intention. When something fits properly and moves with you, it stops feeling like a prop and starts feeling like part of your body.

The same applies to symbolic gear. Rings, keys, or accessories should feel natural to wear, not like costumes. When they sit comfortably in your style, your commitment feels lived-in rather than performative.

When both the physical restraint and the visible symbols work together, chastity stops feeling hidden — but it also never feels forced.

What is a Mistress in a Relationship

Austin Madore — Mon, 05 May 2025 07:00:41 +0000

Mistress 101. What The Title Really Means

Historically “Mistress” referred to a woman in authority (think “school-mistress”) or “head of household.” Modern dictionaries still list “a female who holds power” alongside “lover” and “female Dominant.”

Within BDSM the capital-M Mistress is the female counterpart to a Master: the person who controls scenes, rules, and often the household itself.

Unlike a professional *dominatrix (*a paid service provider) a Mistress usually shares an ongoing, emotion-rich bond with her submissive.

Why couples choose a Mistress led dynamic

Laser-focused intimacy. Chastity denial triggers a surge of attention and affection in the locked partner, turning a dull ember into a bonfire of romance and passion.
Sky-high libido and performance. Frustration fuels creativity in the bedroom…and everywhere else you decide to tease.
Clear roles, less friction. Pre-negotiated power exchange removes decision fatigue and keeps day-to-day life humming.

Mistress Meaning and Mistress Definition

When people hear the word “Mistress,” old stereotypes often come to mind. However, in the world of consensual kink and FemDom, the Mistress meaning is far more layered and profound.

At its core, a Mistress is a woman who exercises authority and control over a willing submissive partner. She is not simply a “side partner” as mainstream society sometimes suggests; rather, she is often the center of a consensual power exchange relationship.

The definition of Mistress today extends into guiding, training, punishing, rewarding, and emotionally developing her submissive. Especially in the world of chastity, BDSM, and erotic domination, a Mistress may oversee tasks ranging from psychological conditioning to physical obedience, creating a complete ecosystem of control and worship.

On this topic, you don’t want to miss our Top 10 Sissy Humiliation Tasks, to get a good idea on what tasks can look like in a Mistress / sissy relationship, or the 10 FemDom chastity task for a less sissy-oriented creative tasks list!

I designed the Ultimate Chastity Cage to better please my Mistress

As I’ve written on My Mistress my Goddess article, back in the day I tried CB-6000 which was far from secure, ruining my chastity fantasy. So I tried accessories to make it more secure, Chinese Knockoffs (which sucked), and even the Holy Trainer, but the fit was never quite right. was ordered 2 times. So, I designed the only inescapable chastity cage in the world, which is also fully customizable, so that it would fit nearly any man perfectly. In time, we made a plus version, a mini, micro and even a clitty version for real sissies.

Being a Mistress: the Responsibilities and Rewards

Being a Mistress (just like being a Master for that matter) is about more than just issuing commands. It demands emotional intelligence, communication skills, and the willingness to deeply understand the needs, boundaries, and vulnerabilities of the submissive.

In relationships that include chastity training, a Mistress often assumes the role of primary chastity keyholder, responsible for locking her submissive into a device, denying them physical pleasure, and controlling their release. Whether through daily tasks, long-term denial, teasing, or discipline, she nurtures devotion and obedience, crafting a submissive who thrives under her authority.

For many Mistresses, the reward is twofold: the pleasure of complete control and the emotional satisfaction of seeing a submissive grow and surrender willingly.

We also have written an entire article on how Chastity presents enormous relationship benefits, and on how effectively use chastity training to transform your submissive.

The Chastity Training Mistress: Sculpting Submission

A Chastity Training Mistress specializes in the erotic art of controlling her submissive’s sexual release.

In these dynamics, the Mistress often utilizes a chastity contract, outlining the rules, expectations, and punishments associated with lock-up periods. The submissive (sometimes referred to as a male chastity slave) agrees to wear a chastity device, relinquishing control over their own pleasure.

Training techniques can include:

Strict scheduling of tease and denial sessions
Tasks and assignments to reinforce obedience
Keyholding rituals, such as reporting daily feelings or begging for permission to edge
Punishment protocols for unauthorized touching or disobedience

A well-structured chastity slave training program focuses on reshaping the submissive’s relationship with their own body, making pleasure something that is earned, not given.

Husband Chastity Training: Life Under Lock and Key

The life of a male chastity slave is one of devotion, service, and erotic frustration. Whether single or married, these submissives find fulfillment in offering their sexuality entirely to the control of a Mistress.

In the context of a marriage, husband chastity training has gained popularity as a way to rekindle intimacy, redefine roles, and build deeper emotional bonds. It’s something extremely rewarding, you wouldn’t imagine what it can do to your relationship.

In training the husband to chastity, the wife or Mistress becomes the sole chastity keyholder, often integrating control into everyday life:

Assigning chores or services as acts of devotion
Denying or granting release based on behavior and performance
Implementing reward systems tied to acts of love, obedience, or romance
Using structured chastity contracts to formalize commitments

Over time, many men report feeling more attentive, emotionally connected, and dedicated to their partners as a result of these dynamics.

Chastity Contract: The Blueprint for Success

At the heart of many Mistress/submissive dynamics is the chastity contract. While not a legal document, it serves as a vital communication tool that establishes boundaries, rules, rewards, and consequences. A well-written contract ensures both parties understand what is expected—and it can deepen the emotional intensity of the relationship.

Key sections often include:

Duration of chastity periods
Tease and denial routines
Behavioral expectations (housework, service, obedience)
Punishment protocols for breaches
Emergency release procedures

For any Chastity Mistress, a good contract is both a shield and a sword; protecting her authority while sharpening the submissive’s discipline

Teas and Denial, by the book!

Tease and Denial is such a fundamental aspect of chastity play, that my Mistress and I have prepared a blueprint for Tease and Denial and made it a convenient e-book that you can find here. It can boost your creativity, give you plenty of new ideas, or be a complete beginner-to-pro guide if you’re new to the chastity lifestyle.

The Role of a Mistress in FemDom

FemDom (Female Domination) is the broader umbrella under which many Mistress dynamics fall. In a FemDom relationship, the woman holds authority not just in erotic interactions but often in daily decision-making, emotional leadership, and life guidance.

A FemDom Mistress might extend her control into:

Financial domination (where permitted and consensual)
Behavioral modification training
Daily rituals of obedience and worship
Psychological ownership and emotional conditioning

For the submissive, this can create a fulfilling sense of purpose, structure, and belonging. For the Mistress, it solidifies her position as an empowered, adored authority figure.

(Skip ahead: Levels of Locktober | Challenge Calendar | Gear & Tools | Safety | FAQs)

What’s New in Locktober 2025

Locktober has come a long way since its early days, this year, more people are turning up the heat with new gadgets, deeper dynamics, and smarter strategies. Here are the biggest changes & trends for 2025, so you stay ahead of the curve:

Smart / Connected Locking Gear — Bluetooth / WiFi-enabled chastity devices let keyholders lock/unlock remotely or set timed access.
More Couples Participation — Locktober isn’t just solo or keyholder play anymore: many view it as an intimate challenge to strengthen trust and desire in relationships.
Holistic Safety & Mental Health Focus — communities are increasingly open about consent, safe exits, skin care routines, and emotional check-ins throughout Locktober.
More Flexible Challenge Styles — not everyone’s going hardcore. There’s growing interest in “tiered” Locktober (light, moderate, immersive), hybrid styles (partial release for cleaning, occasional unlock days, etc.).
Greater Use of Accountability Tools — proof-of-lock photo check-ins, micro-contracts, journaling, reward/punishment systems are more popular than before.
Enhanced Gear Comfort & Design — newer cages are focusing on stealth, better airflow, anti-pull-out features, and materials that reduce irritation during long wear.

Curious about how Locktober got started and why so many people join every year? Check out our companion piece: Locktober: What It Is and Why People Love It.

Levels of Participation

Not everyone is ready to jump straight into 31 days of locked-up denial. That’s okay; Locktober isn’t one-size-fits-all. Think of it as a challenge with levels, and you get to choose where to start (or let your keyholder decide for you).

Beginner (Light) — Locked for certain hours a day or a few days a week. Perfect for newcomers testing comfort, hygiene, and mental discipline.
- For doms/keyholders: set short “lock windows” and mix in plenty of teasing to build anticipation.
Intermediate (Moderate) — Locked daily with regular cleaning breaks, occasional short releases, and teasing tasks.
- Make it fun & frustrating: assign daily challenges (edge but don’t finish, write a journal entry, do chores in the cage).
Advanced (Hardcore) — 24/7 lock for the entire month with no orgasms allowed. Cleaning only under supervision or with strict time limits.
- Dom twist: keep your sub guessing; tease when they least expect it, or add tasks that make the cage “impossible to forget.”
Immersive (Ultimate) — Strict contracts, proof-of-lock, daily check-ins, and no wiggle room. Think full control, total denial, and a very long October.
- For doms: crank up the frustration factor; random punishments, surprise tasks, and reward promises that may (or may not) ever come.

However you play it, the golden rule is this: clear communication and consent come first. Once that’s set, the only real limit is how creative you (or your keyholder) want to be.

For Doms: Make It Fun and Frustrating

Locktober is your opportunity to control, tease, and frustrate, all while keeping your sub desperate for more. Here’s how to level up the experience:

1. Daily Teasing Routine

Consistent, deliberate teasing keeps the cage impossible to ignore:

Morning Messages: Send a spicy text, voice note, or photo reminding them of their locked status.
Edging Sessions: Bring them to the brink but never allow release.
Sensory Play: Ice cubes, feathers, or a vibrator can turn denial into delicious torment.

💡 Locktober idea: Create a weekly teasing schedule with different methods each day, so they never know what’s coming.

2. Reward Systems & Point-Based Games

Turn Locktober into a gamified power exchange:

Earn Points: chores done, rules followed, temptations resisted.
Lose Points: whining, begging, or breaking rules.
End-of-week points → rewards (short unlock, tease session) or punishments (longer denial, harsher teasing).

3. Control Beyond the Cage

Take it outside the bedroom:

Remote Toys: Vibrating plugs or similar devices you can control at a distance.
Symbols of Submission: Make them wear a collar or keep the key on them as a hidden reminder.
Tech Control: Use apps like Chaster to randomize unlock times or enforce lockouts.

For Subs: Embrace the Frustration

Locktober is about testing your limits and discovering new depths of submission. Here are ways to make the challenge meaningful:

1. Self-Assigned Tasks

Even if you’re self-locking, you can stay fully engaged:

Daily Journal: Reflect on the highs, lows, and arousal of each day. Share (if you dare) on X, FetLife, or Reddit.
Fitness Challenge: Pair chastity with workouts, each completed session equals a reward (mental or physical).
Edging Discipline: Push yourself to the brink daily without unlocking.

2. Partner-Led Teasing Ideas

If you’re playing with a Dom/keyholder:

Surprise Check-Ins: Report on arousal or discomfort at random times.
Punishment Games: Agree to rules → any infraction = longer lock time or extra denial.

3. Willpower Challenges

Prove to yourself you can endure:

Lock and Freeze: Store your key in ice or another hard-to-access place.
No Porn Rule: Cut off outside stimulation; stay focused on the challenge.
Temptation Bans: Restrict any activity not approved by your Dom.

Preparing for Locktober

Before October 1st hits and the lock clicks shut, you’ll want to prepare properly. A little planning now means fewer surprises later, and a much smoother (and sexier) month.

The Essential Locktober Prep Checklist

Test Your Gear First — Don’t wait until day one to discover your cage is too tight or pinches in all the wrong ways. Wear it for short stretches in September to get comfortable.
Not sure which device is right for you? Check out our chastity device guide for size, fit, and material tips.
Stock Up on Hygiene Supplies — Cleanliness is key (literally). Have antibacterial soap, barrier cream, and cotton swabs ready. A cage gets uncomfortable fast if you don’t keep things fresh.
We cover more hygiene advice in our Chastity Care 101 article.
Set Boundaries & Contracts — Talk with your Dom, keyholder, or yourself (if self-locking) about the rules. How strict will you be? Are there exceptions for emergencies? Write it down, even a simple micro-contract can keep everyone accountable.
Prepare Mentally — A full month of denial is a serious challenge. Think about your goals: discipline, deeper submission, partner intimacy, or just bragging rights. Keeping a journal (or posting updates online) will help track your journey and manage frustration.
Plan for Privacy — Remember: you still have to live your everyday life. Consider stealthier cages if you’ll be at work or traveling. Make sure you know how to discreetly clean or adjust in shared spaces.
For options that fit comfortably under clothes, check our stealth-friendly chastity devices.
Emergency Exit Strategy — Locktober is supposed to be intense, not dangerous. Always keep a safe backup plan: a spare key, an emergency keyholder, or a release system you can access if needed. Consent and safety come first.

Locktober 2025 Challenge Calendar

Locktober works best when you’ve got structure. You don’t need to plan all 31 days in detail (unless you love spreadsheets), but giving each week a theme will help you stay motivated, and make the denial sting in just the right ways.

Week 1: Getting Locked In

Theme: Acclimation & Mindset

Solo: Keep a daily journal of your feelings, frustrations, and wins. Wear your cage at all times except for cleaning.

With a Partner: Your Dom can send daily teasing messages or photos. Establish “check-in times” where you confirm the cage is on.

💡 Pro tip: Use this week to adjust physically and mentally. Small irritations now can derail the whole month if ignored.

Week 2: Tease & Denial

Theme: Turn Up the Heat

Solo: Add daily edging sessions (no unlocking!) and incorporate fitness goals, each workout = mental release.

With a Partner: Surprise teasing sessions (vibrator, ice, or oral denial) keep the frustration building. Consider a point system: good behavior earns teases, bad behavior extends denial.

💡 Locktober idea: Add a “no porn” rule this week. All arousal must come from your imagination or your Dom.

Week 3: Discipline & Control

Theme: Obedience Training

Solo: Set a strict daily routine (journaling, workout, chores). Miss one → add an extra day locked after October 31.

With a Partner: Chore-based punishments/rewards. Example: housework earns points, whining loses them. Points tallied at the end of the week → reward or punishment.

💡 Pro tip: Use accountability tools like Chaster or proof-of-lock photos to stay honest.

Week 4: The Final Stretch

Theme: Intensity & Reflection

Solo: Push yourself with harder willpower challenges: freeze your key, avoid erotic media, or add extra tasks for every complaint you make. Write a reflection journal on your full Locktober journey.

With a Partner: Extended teasing sessions (bring them close multiple times but never let them finish). Build anticipation for Halloween… will there be release, or another surprise?

💡 Locktober idea: Schedule a final ceremony with your Dom; it could be a reward, a punishment, or the beginning of “No Nut November.”

Optional: Full 31-Day Calendar

Want more structure? Create a daily calendar with one specific challenge for each day (journal entries, tasks, workouts, teases). Print it, share it, or even compete with others online.

⚡ Remember: The challenge is about creativity, frustration, and self-control. Whether you’re flying solo or in a Dom/sub dynamic, each week should build anticipation until the final lock clicks open (if it ever does…).

Gear, Accessories & Tools

The right gear can make or break your Locktober. A cage that’s too tight, too loose, or impossible to clean won’t just ruin the challenge… it can ruin your mood. Here’s what’s trending in 2025 and how to gear up for success (with your LockedInLust newest pieces + a smart device option to compare).

Choosing Your Cage

Fit is everything: Test before October 1st. A well-sized base ring and correct cage length = comfort + control.

Material Matters

Stainless steel → maximum security, great durability, but can be heavy and less forgiving.
Polycarbonate / resin → lighter, more discreet, often better for long wear.
Silicone / softer materials → more flexible, reduces pressure points.

Stealth Options

Shorter cages, flatter designs, and less visible parts under clothing help if you’ll be out or around people.

Need help choosing? Check out our Chastity Device Buying Guide for sizing, material, and comfort tips.

What’s New in 2025 + Key Device Highlights

Here are some of the newest devices in your arsenal and one smart-app competitor device. Use these to judge what features matter most.

[table id=4 /]

Must-Have Accessories

Hygiene kit: antibacterial soap, barrier cream, cotton swabs. Clean before & after wearing.
Lubricants: water-based ones for initial fit; consider formulas with cooling or soothing agents for longer wear.
Spare keys / locks: always have a backup. Key loss is a legit risk.
Timers & Control Apps: for unpredictability and accountability. For example, the smart device above, or apps that let your Dom set locked-windows, unlock schedules, or surprise teases.

Discreet Play Gear

If you want more than just the cage:

Remote-controlled plugs or vibes — controlled by your Dom from anywhere.
Symbols of submission — collars, bracelets, hidden key jewelry.
Hidden tokens — small things only you know the meaning of, to reinforce the cage’s presence in everyday life.

💡 Pro tip: Always test new gear in September, not October. The last thing you want is a painful pinch or hygiene disaster mid-challenge.

Safety & Emotional Wellbeing

Locktober is a marathon, not a sprint. Staying safe is what makes it sustainable.

Physical care: Clean daily, watch for swelling or sores, and unlock immediately if there’s pain or circulation issues.
Emotional care: Journal frustrations, use safe words with partners, and lean on online communities if overwhelmed.

⚠️ When to Stop: If you notice severe pain, numbness, skin damage, or emotional distress, unlock and reassess. Safety > challenge.

Accountability & Rewards

A little structure keeps you honest (and makes things hotter):

Proof-of-lock photos or timestamp apps.
Micro-contracts with clear rewards and punishments.
Milestone rewards: a special tease, short unlock, or privilege.
Journaling or a “lock diary” for daily accountability.

You don’t have to do Locktober alone.

Connect on Reddit’s r/chastitytraining, FetLife groups, or Discord servers.
Use hashtags like #Locktober2025 or #ChastityChallenge.
Stay safe: blur photos, protect your identity, or keep a private journal if you’d rather stay discreet.

Conclusion & Final Checklist

Locktober is about discipline, intimacy, fun, and a healthy dose of frustration. Whether you’re dipping your toes with a light version or diving headfirst into immersive denial, the important part is setting boundaries, staying safe, and enjoying the ride.

✅ Quick Checklist for Success:

Test your gear before October 1st.
Set rules, boundaries, and contracts.
Keep hygiene supplies ready.
Decide on reward & punishment systems.

How the Game Works:

1 – Set Up the Gameboard

The Dom writes out or plans several levels of clues and challenges. Each challenge corresponds to either a “decoy key” or a “real key.” Only one key will give the sub a temporary break, while the others will add further teasing or extra tasks.

- Challenges: Tasks can range from daily journal entries, physical fitness challenges, to more interactive tasks like taking selfies in certain outfits or sending proof of completed chores.
- Clue Distribution: Clues can be handed out each morning via notes, messages, or texts to maintain suspense.

Daily Challenges and Clues

Every day, the Dom provides the sub with a task and a corresponding clue. The clue will lead the sub to choose between two keys (or more, depending on how complex the Dom wants the game). Only one of these keys leads to temporary freedom (unlock for 5 minutes, a supervised cleaning, etc.). The others could result in extended time locked or more intense teasing.

- Example Clue: “Complete today’s task to reveal the correct key. Is the real key hidden in your fitness routine or buried in your words of submission?”

Completion of Tasks

The sub completes tasks and selects one key from the clues provided. If they choose a “decoy key,” they face a penalty—such as additional time locked, additional tasks, or even an intense teasing session without release. If they select the “real key,” they earn a small reward (5-10 minutes unlocked for cleaning, a massage, or a short teasing session).

Building Suspense

To heighten the intensity, not all keys may lead to immediate rewards. Some may open up a small reward but introduce a new challenge or puzzle for the following days. For example, unlocking one key might only give the sub a new, more complex riddle to solve.

The Final Key

The game continues with daily or bi-daily challenges throughout Locktober. The final key on the last day of the game may offer a slightly bigger reward but should remain aligned with the overall goal of denial.

Game Variations:

Partnered Version: The Dom can involve friends or keyholder apps, where the sub must report to different people for various clues. The added anonymity or outside influence increases the psychological tension.
Group Play: If played with a group, multiple subs can compete to see who can find the “final key” first, with rewards given based on speed or accuracy.

Why This Game Works:

“Unlock the Secret” adds a strategic, playful layer to the traditional Locktober experience. The ongoing challenge of selecting between decoy keys and real rewards increases the psychological thrill of the month. Additionally, the suspense of the game creates an environment where both Dom and sub can engage dynamically, building tension with every task completed.

This game can be as simple or complex as desired, making it adaptable for any dynamic or experience level during Locktober.

Locktober: what it is and why people love it

Austin Madore — Mon, 23 Sep 2024 07:00:41 +0000

As the leaves start to turn orange and the air becomes crisp, October signals the beginning of more than just spooky season. For men in chastity, it marks the arrival of Locktober. A playful, month-long challenge within the chastity community, Locktober invites participants to lock themselves in chastity devices for the entire 31 days of October.

While some may associate the season with Halloween and pumpkin-spiced lattes, Locktober is a time for self-control, submission, and exploration of sexual boundaries. So here’s the story of Locktober, how to join the challenge, and some fun ideas to make it even more exciting (and frustrating).

The origins of Locktober

Like many internet phenomena, the exact origins of Locktober are a bit murky. I do remember one of the earliest mentions; it traces back to 2015, when a user on the OrgasmDenial.com forums, known as SubMaleSlaveUK, proposed the idea of remaining in chastity for the entire month of October. While it’s hard to pinpoint the “Big Bang” of Locktober, it’s clear that the concept grew steadily over the years, with the complicity of the voyeurism and exhibitionism in adult content communities such as Twitter / X and Fetlife.

The movement gained serious traction around 2017, especially on Tumblr (ah, the good old days of Tumblr), where users shared chastity experiences and tips. The now-defunct post titled “Keep Him Locked: A Wife’s Guide to Male Chastity and Cock Cages” helped to bring Locktober into the broader consciousness of the BDSM community. By 2019, Locktober was fully embedded in kink culture, despite the “Porn Purge” of Tumblr that year.

Why people love Locktober

In my experience there are several reasons why Locktober gained the traction it has.

A Challenge of Willpower and Submission:

The primary allure of Locktober lies in its challenge: men voluntarily lock themselves into chastity cages, relinquishing control over their sexual pleasure. For some, this is about submitting to a partner who acts as the keyholder, while for others, it’s a test of self-control trough self chastity. The psychological thrill of being denied orgasm for a whole month heightens the experience, amplifying desire and anticipation.

Heightened Anticipation and Reward:

One of the most significant aspects of Locktober is the buildup of sexual tension. To some, as an example gay men who are bottoms, or just men who like to be sexually receiving (which includes sissies), this doesn’t mean giving up sex. Actually, it can mean having even more sexual encounters, but with their cock locked. To straight men, or tops and so on, knowing that you cannot access your genitals at will can make the ultimate reward (unlocking in November) intensely gratifying. Some participants extend the challenge into No Nut November, further prolonging their state of denial. If you’re wondering how long can an individual go in chastity, and if after two months we could be talking about long term chastity, read our article “permanent chastity: fantasy and reality” to get an idea of what is achievable in a reasonable and safe way.

Community Spirit:

Locktober is more than just an individual experience; it’s a community event. Social media platforms like Twitter, Fetlife and Reddit are filled with participants sharing their journeys, challenges, and victories using the hashtag #Locktober. This sense of shared experience helps to create a supportive environment where participants cheer each other on.

Preparing for Locktober: A Month-Long Commitment

If you’re new to chastity, jumping into a 31-day challenge might seem daunting, so preparation is key.

We have several resources here to help you face what’s coming up. Here’s some must-read for you:

First, an introduction to chastity lockups.

Secondly, how to choose the right chastity cage for you.

And third, how to handle long term chastity.

If you want to keep it short, here’s a step-by-step guide to ensure you’re ready:

Select Your Device: Choose a chastity device that’s comfortable for long-term wear. Whether it’s metal, plastic, or silicone, make sure you’ve tested it before Locktober starts. Wear it for extended periods in the weeks leading up to the challenge, even during regular daily activities like working or exercising.
Build Up Gradually: If you’re new to chastity, don’t expect to jump straight into a full month without preparation. Start with smaller sessions. Try wearing the device overnight or for 48-hour stints during normal activities like working, driving, or running errands. This will help you understand any discomfort or issues that might arise and give you time to adjust before the real challenge.
Set Clear Expectations with Your Keyholder: If you have a keyholder, communicate openly about your expectations for the month. Are you looking for a kink-heavy experience with teasing, edging, and tasks? Or are you simply hoping to complete the challenge with minimal interaction? Aligning expectations will ensure both you and your partner enjoy the experience.
Plan for Hygiene and Safety: Long-term chastity requires careful attention to hygiene. Make sure to clean your device regularly, ideally once a week, to avoid any health issues. For those wearing closed cages, complete removal for cleaning is highly recommended. Locktober is about pushing your limits, but not at the cost of your health.

{

What if you don’t have a keyholder?

Not having a keyholder doesn’t mean you can’t participate in Locktober. Self-locking is just as valid, but it comes with its own challenges. Without someone to hold your key, temptation can be overwhelming. A common solution is to make access to your key difficult—freezing it in a block of ice, for example, adds an extra barrier to unlocking impulsively.

Alternatively, there are apps that allow you to set a variable lock time, creating a sense of unpredictability around when you’ll be unlocked. And you can even engage with Locked in Lust’s 100% safe and discreet online keyholding service!

Fun Challenges and Activities to Enhance Locktober

To make Locktober more engaging, participants often incorporate various challenges and activities:

Teasing and Denial: Many keyholders engage in playful teasing throughout the month, using methods like edging or verbal humiliation to keep their partner aroused but locked. This ongoing torment can make the experience even more intense.
Daily Journaling: Documenting your thoughts and feelings throughout Locktober adds a personal dimension to the challenge. A daily journal can help you reflect on the highs and lows of being locked, making the experience more meaningful.
Custom Challenges: Some participants introduce personal goals or milestones. For instance, allowing brief unlock periods after completing a significant task or reaching the halfway point can serve as a reward system that keeps things interesting.
Online Engagement: Many chastity enthusiasts share their journey through social media. Whether you’re seeking tips, encouragement, or just a place to vent your frustrations, platforms like Twitter offer a supportive community of fellow participants.

Health and Safety During Locktober

Locktober can be an intense physical and mental experience, so it’s essential to prioritize safety. Ensure that your device fits well and isn’t causing pain beyond mild discomfort. Always remove it for cleaning and check for any signs of irritation. Chastity is meant to be challenging, but not harmful.

If you’re worried about health impacts, such as concerns around prostate health, know that some studies suggest regular ejaculation may lower the risk of prostate cancer. While this doesn’t necessarily mean you should avoid abstinence, it’s something to consider when planning your month.

Celebrating the End of Locktober

At the end of the month, how you choose to celebrate your release from chastity is entirely up to you and your keyholder (if applicable). Some participants go straight into No Nut November, prolonging their denial even further, while others revel in the intense pleasure of their long-awaited orgasm.

Some keyholders organize themed release scenes to mark the end of the month—whether it’s a Halloween-themed roleplay, a costumed party, or a sensual evening, there are countless ways to make the culmination of Locktober memorable.

Introducing Your Partner to Chastity

Austin Madore — Thu, 04 Jul 2024 15:24:32 +0000

Introducing your partner to chastity and trying to become a chastity couple can be a frightening ordeal. You start experiencing doubts and scenarios in your head of what could go wrong… “what if s/he thinks I’m weird for liking chastity”, “what if they say no”, “what if…”, and so on.

You can lay all of those fears, doubts, and worries to bed; because in this post I’ve outlined a list of tips and resources that you can use to tell your partner, and even get them intrigued by it. After all, this is a chastity couple blog. So where to begin?

Posted by:

How To Tell Your Partner About Your Chastity Fetish

Here’s a quick list of tested best practices when it comes to “coming out” to your partner or spouse. Be it your wife, your girlfriend or your man, always remember this fantasy is not all about you. It’s about them too, so bare that thought as you read on:

1: Choose The Right Time

The most important part of telling your partner about chastity is choosing the right time to tell them.

You don’t want to approach your partner with this idea of chastity if they have had a long day, are exhausted, stressed out, tired, angry, etc. It’s best to catch them when they’ve had a good day, and their spirits are high.

Doing so will ensure your idea is openly received and entertained instead of being rejected out of the gate.

2: Help Your Partner Have A Good Day

Helping your partner have a good day can be done by taking them out to a nice dinner, going for a romantic walk, watching a movie, giving a foot or body massage, or anything else your partner would find enjoyable.

You want to make your partner the center of your world for that day.

If your partner enjoys drinking or smoking cannabis, then help them relax with a nice bottle of wine or some herb (only recommended if legal in your area).

3: Bring Up The Conversation Casually And Naturally

Now that you’ve helped your partner have a great day, it’s time to spice up the conversation a bit. One of the easiest ways to do this is ask them what their biggest sexual fantasy is.

You want your partner to share their fantasy with you. But just like you, they may be nervous about it or caught off guard by the question. Be very open, warm, and welcoming here and see if they will share it with you. Let them know you want to fulfill their sexual fantasies.

If they insist on not sharing, do not pry too hard or it will kill the mood.

As expressed in my article on how male chastity can enhance the intimacy and connection in a relationship, chastity can be a positive turning point in your relationship. Becoming a chastity couple brings power exchange into your dynamic, and can significantly better the energy flow between the two of you.

But, coming out in an unplanned way about your kinks, might be difficult. If that’s the case, abandon the step 3 approach, and move onto the next step:

Tell them that you have sexual fantasies that you would like to share with them.

From here, you can either jump right into telling them about your chastity fantasy, or start off with one or two “milder” fantasies that you may have. Don’t overdo it here, this is meant to be a segue for you to introduce the chastity fetish to them.

My Original Chastity Confession Letter, Personalized For You

I also went trough the struggle of introducing my partner to chastity, as you can read in my own real chastity couple story, my Mistress, my Goddess. If you would like an easy way to introduce your spouse or partner, I have created two versions of my original chastity confession letter, in a vanilla and in a kinky version.

How To Talk About Your Chastity Fantasy

Now it’s time to share your fantasy with your partner. Let them know that you have always wanted to try male chastity. Unless they are a seasoned kinkster, your partner is likely going to ask you what that is.

Here is your golden opportunity to intrigue them with the idea. Let them know what it is, and that you want them to be your keyholder. And quickly follow that up with how it will benefit them.

You want to let your partner know what things could be like if they were your keyholder. Don’t talk about yourself here, make it all about them so they can understand the benefits they will get from keeping you under lock and key.

You want to let them know it will bring more romance and intimacy to the relationship. You want to paint the picture that it will be all about them and what you can/will do for them – you can give them regular massages, or do the household chores, or all of the above! You can also read The Benefits of Male Chastity to get additional talking points and ideas.

If your partner is going to be intrigued by the idea, they need to know how it will benefit them. The question is, what are you willing to do for them to make this dream become a reality……? Then that’s what you need to tell them!

Gauge your partner’s reaction here. Are they completely on-board? Are they on the fence? Are they still unsure?

If the answer isn’t “completely on-board”, then ask them if they would at least be willing to try it out to see if they would like it, and how it would be fulfilling one of your biggest fantasies by doing so.

Your partner is likely going to need the night (or a few) to think about it. Don’t be too pushy about getting their answer; give them their time and space.

After a few days, casually bring up the topic again, and ask them if they have given it any thought and would be willing to try it.

If they are still hesitant, ask them if they would be willing to read up on it to learn and understand it better.

Educate Your Partner

We have developed an introduction to male chastity guide which is the perfect tool to teach your partner about male chastity. It starts off slow and was designed to be very unintimidating.

It will help your partner understand male chastity, how it will benefit them, and bring a little more normalcy to the topic.

After reading the series of guides, it will be sure to pique your partner’s interest.

Wrapping It Up

It’s best to catch your partner in a good mood before approaching them with the topic of chastity. You can help them create the good mood by doing activities they would like.

Once you have them in a good mood, casually start the conversation of sexual fantasies before revealing your chastity fantasy. Approach the topic with their benefit in mind, get them excited to try it.

If they need additional motivation or education, you can show them the introductory to male chastity guide.

If verbally approaching your partner still seems like an impossible task, we’ve got you covered with our Chastity Confession Letters.

Everything You Need To Know About Male Chastity

Austin Madore — Fri, 29 Mar 2024 13:18:41 +0000

As a seasoned chastity cages designer and user for over a decade, I’ve helped thousands of individuals discover a new side of their sexuality. I thought of putting together guide and walk you through everything you need to know about male chastity, from the basicas and benefits to choosing your ideal device; all backed by real-world experience as long term chastity.

What Is Male Chastity

Male chastity is the consensual practice of locking the penis inside a specially designed chastity cage (often referred to as a cock cage or chastity device) to limit or completely prevent access and arousal from reaching climax.

At first glance, this might sound uncomfortable, even extreme. But for many, it’s a deeply erotic and fulfilling experience rooted in trust, discipline, and delayed gratification. When arousal builds without the release of orgasm, the body and mind shift into heightened states of sensitivity and anticipation.

Here’s how it works:

As arousal increases, the locked penis swells against the device.
This sensation mimics a firm grip, amplifying desire and intensity.
The longer you stay locked, the more powerful your eventual orgasm becomes.

This isn’t about pain or humiliation. Rather, it’s about enhancing pleasure through mindful restraint and orgasm control. For us kinksters, the psychological thrill of surrender and the physical tension of denial create a richer, more explosive sexual experience.

The concept of chastity control dates back to the 15th century, when chastity belts were reportedly used to police female sexuality—often under patriarchal and non-consensual frameworks. Whether myth or reality, these early devices symbolized the strict control over women’s bodies by husbands, fathers, and religious institutions.

Fast forward to today, and the landscape has completely shifted.

Modern chastity cages, especially those designed for men, are built on consensual power dynamics, sexual exploration, and intimacy enhancement—particularly within the BDSM and kink communities.

Here’s how male chastity has evolved:

🔐 Consent-Centric: Today, a submissive partner voluntarily enters chastity under the guidance of a keyholder (usually a Dominant). This keyholder determines how long the device stays on—ranging from hours to months—depending on mutual agreements.
📄 Negotiated Play: Many couples use chastity contracts to define boundaries, safety protocols, and the emotional expectations behind the play. This ensures all activities remain healthy and respectful.
🛠️ Innovative Designs: Unlike the crude iron belts of legend, modern chastity devices are sleek, ergonomic, and tailored to daily wear. Whether it’s a full-belt system or a micro chastity cage, comfort and discretion are now integral features.

The design of chastity devices has evolved and become more and more sustainable, discreet and comfortable, spacing from full belts models, to small and micro chastity cages.

Excerpt from U.S. patent 995,600 by Jonas E. Heyser.

Modern The Vice Chastity Cages in different colors and sizes.

Discovering the Kink: Why Men Choose Orgasm Denial

You might ask, “Why would anyone willingly give up their orgasms?” After all, masturbation is a normal, even celebrated part of modern sexuality. But here’s the twist: relinquishing control over your climax can be the most thrilling kink of all. And also one of the most addictive.

For tons of men, including myself, male chastity has become a gateway to deeper self-awareness, stronger erotic focus, and a surprising sense of liberation. What once was a routine activity (a completely selfish quick stress relief before bed) transformed into a conscious, arousing ritual of restraint and anticipation.

Let me explain how:

Mental Clarity: Denying myself regular release helped sharpen my focus on personal goals and enhanced my productivity… while feeling more and more horny.
Erotic Build-Up: The longer the denial, the more powerful the fantasies, and also the lower the inhibitions. Each day locked builds intensity, making the eventual orgasm mind-blowing.
Enhanced Communication: When practiced with a partner, like I do with my wife, chastity strengthens relationship, as it encourages more open conversations about needs, desires, and boundaries.
From Routine to Ritual: In a world overloaded with instant gratification and free porn, chastity flips the script. It’s no longer about how fast you finish, but how long you can savor the wait.

Orgasm denial isn’t about punishment; it’s about reclaiming erotic control by giving it up.

Living Locked: Personal Benefits of Being in a Chastity Cage

After over a decade of practicing male chastity as a submissive straight man, I’ve learned that wearing a chastity cage goes far beyond kink — it’s a transformative lifestyle. Being caged reshapes how you relate to sex, control, your partner, and most importantly, yourself.

Here are the most profound benefits I’ve experienced:

Greater Self-Discipline
Chastity taught me to manage my primal urges. Redirecting sexual energy into creative and personal goals has made me more focused and less distracted by fleeting temptations.
Expanded Sexual Horizons
After five weeks locked, the arousal had intensified to the point where I was open to exploring completely new pleasures—like prostate stimulation. These experiences brought me sensations and climaxes I never imagined possible.
Radical Communication Openness
Discussing topics many consider taboo—kinks, boundaries, fantasies—created a space where no subject is off-limits with my keyholder. That transparency has enriched both our sexual and emotional intimacy.
Stronger Emotional Bond
Sharing a non-normative lifestyle created a unique and profound level of complicity between us. We not only play together—we grow together.
Deep Trust Development
There’s no act of trust quite like handing over the key to your sexuality. Our Dom/sub dynamic has fortified the foundation of our relationship in ways vanilla dynamics rarely explore.

{

Now, an orgasm has become so much more. It has become something I desperately look forward to, something I would do anything to get.

It has created a deeper bond and a higher level of complicity between me and my partner/keyholder. I could never go back to a non-chastity lifestyle. I would never go back.

What Is A Chastity Cage? How Can I Choose The Right One?

At its core, a male chastity cage is a wearable device that encloses the penis to restrict erections and prevent direct stimulation. But today’s chastity devices are far from simple or uniform. They come in a wide array of:

✅ Sizes – from standard to micro chastity cages
✅ Materials – including high-grade plastic, silicone, stainless steel, and even chainmail
✅ Designs – ranging from open cages for hygiene to closed tubes for complete control
✅ Locking mechanisms – with options like anti-pullout features, integrated locks, and numbered tags

Feeling overwhelmed? Don’t be. Choosing your first chastity device should be exciting, not intimidating. Think of it like buying a custom piece of wearable intimacy—it’s worth taking the time to find the perfect fit.

Cock Cages Styles and Materials

There are mainly three different styles: open cage, closed tube and hybrids. The styles are also self-explanatory.

They each have a different way of being used, different hygiene needs, and different sensations/experiences. Open cages are easier to clean because they have bigger holes where you can soap up while closed cages have the excitement of having absolutely no vision (and therefore no touching or sensation whatsoever) of your dick.

Discuss with your future keyholder (if you have one) which type they find more interesting. Ensure your cage has a proper drain hole, and let your imagination run through its wildest fantasies.

When it comes to materials, you can usually find stainless steel chastity cages, which gives you a great medieval or industrial feel, high-grade plastic (the best first cages, in my opinion), 3D-printed materials, silicone, and even an out-of-the-ordinary chainmail, which creates a sensation of being simultaneously locked up and not locked up—a true mind game!

Free Your Relationship By Caging Your Cock

Opening the kinky door of your relationship can be something life-altering. It’s normal to be scared of being judged by our partners, by others, or even by ourselves. Society has turned sex into a taboo topic that we shouldn’t talk about. You should want to have intercourse, and it should always be great, but within the norm and not really talking about it. It’s a bit illogical.

This topic is extensive and delicate, which is the reason I decided to give it the importance it deserves in two posts: Benefits of Male Chastity in Your Relationship: Obedience, Libido & Complicity where I talk about how long-term chastity play changed my life and relationship and Chastity Cage Play: Get The Most Out Of It where I talk about how to immerse yourself and fully take advantage of this experience.

If you’re freaking out about talking to your partner about this topic, think that if you have this kinky side, what makes you believe that they don’t? You can open the Pandora Box of Pleasure for your relationship, and you’ll both enjoy it, so why not?

Are Chastity Cages Safe?

The first chastity tip is that if it hurts, there’s something wrong, so listen to your body. If your balls turn blue, your dick becomes numb, or your skin starts to bleed, take it off. Don’t get discouraged, there’s nothing wrong with your cock. Most likely you chose the wrong size of cage or ring. Wearing a cock cage is about giving up control, not having your cock fall off.

Now, just like with everything, common sense can really help. Yes, chastity cages are safe when used correctly. It’s essential to get to know your cage, its components, and how they fit together so that, in case of an emergency, you can take it off quickly. Also, you should always keep the second key in an accessible place, just in case.

How Chastity Cages work and why they’re worth it

Austin Madore — Fri, 29 Mar 2024 13:18:41 +0000

First and foremost: what are Chastity Cages

I’ll keep this short: a chastity cage is a physical device used for bondage and control practices on male genitalia, by preventing touching, having satisfactory erections (or erections at all), or any kind of stimulation leading to the natural sexual intercourse or masturbation.

Cock cages are made in various materials, generally steel or plastic, and come in all colors, shapes and sizes. The incredible world of male chastity unlocks for you when you lock your cock.

If you want to learn how to make your journey one step further through permanent chastity and orgasm denial, we have two great articles on it:

Why do people use Chastity Cages

I often get asked, once one understands what is the male chastity lifestyle “why would you want to wear a chastity device? what does a chastity cage feel like? what is its meaning?”.

A chastity cage’s purpose is to give up complete control over your penis, your orgasms, your sexuality, your “manhood”. It’s a lifestyle of consensual sexual abstention. Your keyholder can train you into learning a new way of finding pleasure in discipline and obedience, and tease you with Orgasm Denial, Ruined Orgasms and Cum Control.

Equally, you can discover the reward that having An Amazing Chastity Orgasm will mean to you. Or, how it feels to be punished by letting your balls get so full you start to leak. All of this, once experienced, is so exciting and engaging, that it’s very hard to stop.

Also, for most kinksters a chastity cage has a deeper meaning than just physically locking up your cock. It’s a holistic experience where your mind, body, and sexual energy are enhanced, allowing you to discover new horizons of pleasure, complicity, and submission.

Why is Male Chastity the latest trend?

Male chastity has been around for a long time but like many other kinky practices and gear, has recently gained much popularity. Locktober and NoNutNovember are movements that have shown the modern man all the benefits male chastity can have. It allows us to refocus our sexual energy on more than just ejaculation. It gives sexuality a different meaning and can bring back the excitement both in your personal sex life as an individual, and both into a relationship.

So, why are more and more men adhering to this lifestyle, or so often fantasizing about it? What does a chastity cage do to you?

Locking yourself can free so many other parts of you. In your day-to-day life, a cock cage it’s a comforting presence and a reminder of ownership or intimacy with your keyholder, like a wedding ring. Giles, interviewed by Men’sHealth, adds

“It’s the masochistic thrill of not being able to get off.”

So yeah, hot.

What does a chastity cage do and how it works

One might think all a chastity cage does is keeping your penis locked. The truth is that there are many different kinds of chastity devices, and the best ones achieve specific effects leveraging the anatomy and hydraulic system of the male reproductive organs.

So all cock cages have the aim of restricting access to your penis, and make penetration impossible, and conventional genital stimulation pointless. But, the effect on your body, the sensation and the presence or absence of pain, depend by a set of variables.

Inverted chastity cages, as an example, are designed to allow the swelling of an erection to grow inwards in your body. A standard chastity device that has a very snug and compressive fit, on the other hand, will impede the penis to grow in girth, and depending on how firmly tight is the ring, for the penis to expand in any way.

These kind of situations, paired with a vibrating wand as an example, can lead to incredible new ways to live an orgasm and genital pleasure in general, with a pain-free experience.

Anatomy of a Chastity Cage

Cock cages come in many shapes and forms but are usually composed of the same components:

[dsm_card title=”Chastity Rings (or Cock Rings)” layout=”inline” layout_inline_image_width=”35%” layout_inline_order=”right” content_horizontal_alignment=”flex-start” image=”https://blog.lockedinlust.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/chastity-ring-cock-ring-example.jpg” image_background_height=”365px” image_alignment=”right” alt=”a picture of a curved chastity ring or cockring, for chastity device with integrated barrel lock, in chromed metal” button_text=”Shop Chastity Rings” button_url=”https://lockedinlust.com/product-category/parts-accessories/rings/” button_url_new_window=”on” layout_tablet=”stacked” layout_phone=”stacked” layout_last_edited=”on|phone” module_class=”product-class-insert” _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#f2f2f2″ custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”16px” button_text_color=”#F9F9F9″ button_bg_color=”#6A169F” button_border_width=”0px” button_border_radius=”6px” button_icon=”$||divi||400″ button_on_hover=”off” custom_padding=”|||1%|false|false” border_radii=”on|16px|16px|16px|16px” border_width_all=”0.5px” border_color_all=”#F9F9F9″ box_shadow_style=”preset2″ box_shadow_blur=”31px” box_shadow_spread=”-16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]It’s the spinal column of the chastity cage if you will. It goes around your balls and on top of the base of your penis. It holds the cage together and reduces blood flow to the penis. (If it cuts off the blood flow, remove it and go for a larger size. Chastity is not about pain or grey balls).[/dsm_card][dsm_card title=”Spacers” layout=”inline” layout_inline_image_width=”35%” layout_inline_order=”right” content_horizontal_alignment=”flex-start” image=”https://blog.lockedinlust.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/clear-spacers-for-chastity-devices.jpg” image_background_height=”365px” image_alignment=”right” alt=”four different chastity spacers in clear plastic” button_text=”Shop Spacers” button_url=”https://lockedinlust.com/product-category/parts-accessories/spacers/” button_url_new_window=”on” layout_tablet=”stacked” layout_phone=”stacked” layout_last_edited=”on|phone” module_class=”product-class-insert” _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#f2f2f2″ custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”16px” button_text_color=”#F9F9F9″ button_bg_color=”#6A169F” button_border_width=”0px” button_border_radius=”6px” button_icon=”$||divi||400″ button_on_hover=”off” custom_padding=”|||1%|false|false” border_radii=”on|16px|16px|16px|16px” border_width_all=”0.5px” border_color_all=”#F9F9F9″ box_shadow_style=”preset2″ box_shadow_blur=”31px” box_shadow_spread=”-16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Spacers are designed to regulate the distance from the cock cage and the chastity ring; as Master Lupus said in his article on how to chose the right chastity cage, every man is different, and every single set of of cock and balls (pardon my french) is different.

That’s why high quality chastity cages have several spacers, so that you can personalize and adjust the distance between the two parts, for the perfect fit.

[/dsm_card][dsm_card title=”Cock Cage” layout=”inline” layout_inline_image_width=”35%” layout_inline_order=”right” content_horizontal_alignment=”flex-start” image=”https://blog.lockedinlust.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/chastity-cage-clear-plus-cage-1024×1024-1.jpg” image_background_height=”365px” image_alignment=”right” alt=”lateral view of the vice cock cage part of the chastity device, in clear plastic” button_text=”Shop Cock Cages” button_url=”https://lockedinlust.com/product-category/parts-accessories/cages/” button_url_new_window=”on” layout_tablet=”stacked” layout_phone=”stacked” layout_last_edited=”on|phone” module_class=”product-class-insert” _builder_version=”4.26.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#f2f2f2″ custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”16px” button_text_color=”#F9F9F9″ button_bg_color=”#6A169F” button_border_width=”0px” button_border_radius=”6px” button_icon=”$||divi||400″ button_on_hover=”off” custom_padding=”|||1%|false|false” border_radii=”on|16px|16px|16px|16px” border_width_all=”0.5px” border_color_all=”#F9F9F9″ box_shadow_style=”preset2″ box_shadow_blur=”31px” box_shadow_spread=”-16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]

It’s the structure where you will place your penis into. Just slide it in and let it take its place. Its proper sizing depends on your objective. If you aim just to block contact with your penis, a cage that is a standard size, such as TheVice Standard could be a great option. If, on the other hand, you’re looking to shrink your penis, you can start with the Micro and work your way to the Clitty. Your penis has an incredible adaptability thanks to the erectile tissue, so you can start with whichever size your fantasy is.

The Locking pin keeps together the Chastity Ring and the Cock Cage, securing them firmly once a chastity lock has been snapped trough the hole at the end of it.

Chastity cages designed to work with traditional padlocks, will normally have a locking pin. Alternatively, some locking mechanism work with a barrel lock, typically for smaller chastity cages or inverted chastity devices.

[/dsm_card][dsm_card title=”Locking Mechanism” layout=”inline” layout_inline_image_width=”35%” layout_inline_order=”right” content_horizontal_alignment=”flex-start” image=”https://blog.lockedinlust.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/chastity-locks-for-different-chastity-cages.jpg” image_background_height=”365px” image_alignment=”right” alt=”a chastity lock with keys and a barrel lock used for small chastity cages” button_text=”Shop Chastity Locks” button_url=”https://lockedinlust.com/product-category/parts-accessories/locks/” button_url_new_window=”on” layout_tablet=”stacked” layout_phone=”stacked” layout_last_edited=”on|phone” module_class=”product-class-insert” _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#f2f2f2″ custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”16px” button_text_color=”#F9F9F9″ button_bg_color=”#6A169F” button_border_width=”0px” button_border_radius=”6px” button_icon=”$||divi||400″ button_on_hover=”off” custom_padding=”|||1%|false|false” border_radii=”on|16px|16px|16px|16px” border_width_all=”0.5px” border_color_all=”#F9F9F9″ box_shadow_style=”preset2″ box_shadow_blur=”31px” box_shadow_spread=”-16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]

It wouldn’t be a cage if you could open and close it whenever you wanted, right? The symbolic aspect of the lock is just as important as its actual function: to keep you locked up well.

Most cages have a padlock that stays on top of the cage; in that case, normally a locking pin is present. The sound of the lock locking becomes one of the sweetest sounds when you’ve been locked for an extended period. Other cages come with a barrel lock resembling your average door’s keyholes. They go into the cage and lock it from within. These are great for someone who leads a very active life since there’s no bouncing of the padlock or the tic, tic, tic noise coming from your crotch.

Some notorious cages have a digital mechanism controlled via an app, which can be great for long-distance relationships or if you have to travel.

[/dsm_card]

Something else I am asked all the time is what does a chastity cage feel like; does it hurt? The answer is that If appropriately sized, wearing a cock cage is a painless experience sexual abstention. It does require adjustments, and some exploration and patience.

Wearing a Chastity Cage is a rewarding experience

I hope that with this coverage of the topic you’ll have now a lot to think about and more information in your journey in male chastity.

A chastity cage can feel terrible, or great, depending on numerous factors. Finding the right fit and the right cage style for your anatomy and needs if paramount, but also the mindset with which you’re joining the lifestyle counts.

If you’re doing this for temporary fun, you will notice the pinching, rubbing, and new sensations of temporary discomfort much more as a stopper, rather than if you were in a relationship with a keyholder or owner; so, while starting your adventure, it’s also important to consider the purpose of the chastity cage. Is it a lifestyle choice, or a fun accessory? Let me know in the comments what’s your chastity style, I’d be really curious to read the feedback!

Chastity Relationship benefits: obedience, libido & complicity.

Austin Madore — Fri, 29 Mar 2024 13:18:41 +0000

Today we’ll be focused on the benefits of male chastity in your relationship. Perhaps you’ve come across other articles that speak of husband chastity training and its effects. You might have read about complicity, submission, obedience, increased connection, expansive orgasms and focused libido.

Understanding Male Sex Drive and Chastity

Research shows that about 75% of men will have a stronger sex drive than the average woman.

This usually comes at no surprise for us, men. Our gender is even often criticized as always thinking about sex and, why wouldn’t we? Having sex is incredible. A study done in 2023 shows how women’s sex drive is more influenced by social and cultural factors, while men’s sex drive is driven more strongly by biological factors.

So, let’s stop blaming men and pin in onto hormones (just kidding). The thing is that we have stopped differentiating having sex and penetration with ejaculation. Sex is much more than just cumming. It’s a holistic experience.

Power exchange, a driver of improvement.

Power exchange in relationships can have positive effects when it is negotiated, consensual, and balanced between partners. Some key benefits include:

Allowing each partner to preserve their individuality and feel free to express themselves, even with divergent views, knowing they have a safe space for tolerance and respect.
Heightening autonomy and reducing emotional attachment that can lead to toxic traits such as jealousy and non consensual domination.
Fostering trust and enhancing positive attitudes toward the long-term relationship when partners view each other as partners, not rivals.

Men’s Health dedicated an entire article to this topic. They took the time to analyze and understand why chastity cages turn men on and, surprise surprise, it has to do with power exchange:

“For a lot of men, gender norms can lead to huge pressure to behave in certain ways—and a kink like chastity can be a safe escape from that, says Gigi Engle, a certified sex educator and author of All the Fcking Mistakes: A Guide to Sex, Love, and Life*. “It comes, in part, from a desire to give over control, to escape from your role,” she says. “One of the reasons this kink is so popular, but still taboo, is that we’re afraid of that dynamic, we’re afraid, still, of female control and dominance.”

The key is for power exchange to be deliberate, consensual, and balanced between partners who share values of respect and good communication. So taking to your partner is a great way to start.

Stories of Chastity Relationship benefits from real locked couples

There’s nothing better than having someone share with you their own experience. Because the world is big and our community is small (although growing at an incredible pace), it might be hard to start a chat with a random at Starbucks about chastity.

Unless you find them taking a piss in the bathroom and you hear the clinging noice of their lock, it’s almost impossible to guess that they’re wearing a penis cage, specially if it’s a discreet one a Sissy Pussy Cage. (Go on, click on the link. You know you’re curious to see the Sissy Cage)

Yet, we have the World Wide Web to browse and read what other people are going through. I’m saving you the trouble of going through hundreds of posts and chains, here you have some stories from people’s experience and the benefits that male chastity has had for them and their relationships.

Male chastity, slippery slope?

On their Reddit post, newbie-sub shares a final edit to their thread where they explain how their chastity experience has become an addiction. I can certainly relate! “Final Edit: it’s now been a month since I made this post. I have been denied for two weeks now. I see little reason to not severely limit my orgasms to a handful a year. It is absolutely a slippery slope but I don’t think it’s one because it’s played some psychological game on me or rewired my reward pathways. It’s been too soon for that. It’s addictive because it uncovers who we are when we get our dicks out of the way. And it turns out we’re better people.”

Male chastity, slippery slope? byu/newbie-sub inBDSMAdvice

Chastity can work wonders in a marriage

I’m not the only one saying this, Scorpio351 shares the experience from the FemDom point of view and how it changed their couple life for the better. “(…) the discovery of male chastity was something that certainly helped improve our marriage greatly. If your willing to try, it can change your life and his for the better. It can add a spark to that love life that has been neglected. It can motivate your man like nothing else to give his all to you. I have communicated over the years with over two dozen wives who keep their husbands chaste. I have met several of them in person and the one thing they all agree on is that the benefits of chastity for their marriages are incredible. It may amaze you, as it did me, to find out that so many men and women are using chastity as part of their relationship, really more than you could imagine. There is a lot of it being practiced, most likely by some of your friends. This story is a summary of what I have found out talking with many other women and practicing chastity with my husband for years. I hope it will help other wives who are considering the use of chastity in their relationship.”

Chastity can work wonders in a marriage
byu/skorpio351 inMarriage

If you choose to keep going down the rabbit hole of reading chastity experiences, you can start by following the threads of the stories posted above. Remember that what you find online has to be taken with a grain of salt since it’s easy to find extreme negative opinions that have no first-hand or scientific backbone. As an example, the most common myth is that chastity will cause permanent damage and shrinkage of your cock. I’ve debunked this myth in my article: Male Chastity Shrinking: Myth and Reality.

So, what are the top 3 chastity benefits in a relationship?

There are as many benefits as there are chastity stories. Each locked man and keyholder have their own stories yet, I believe these are the top 3 benefits:

Improved Communication: As mentioned above, communication is key for consent. This practice requires a high level of communication to deeply understand the desires and expectations. Better communication equals better relationship.
Enhanced Trust: Binding over a “taboo” topic such as kinks and fetishes increases your bond and trust towards each other. This level of trust can lead to a more fulfilling relationship.
Increased Intimacy: The locked men becomes so much more focused on their keyholder instead of just releasing their biological urges. It becomes about their pleasure, a shared pleasure and not just emptying your balls with a quick wank.

It’s never too late to start a new chapter in your relationship. Choosing a beginner friendly cage such as TheVice can enhance the experience by giving you, and your keyholder, a guaranteed inescapable experience.

How to Safely Deal with Online Keyholding

Austin Madore — Fri, 29 Mar 2024 13:18:41 +0000

For those into the chastity lifestyle, whether beginners or experienced subs, taking the time to understand how to safely participate in online keyholding is essential. I’ve put together this guide using my experience in male chastity devices and lifestyle, to cover everything from choosing a keyholder, crafting a chastity contract, and understanding the full keyholding meaning, to evaluating platforms like LockedInKeyholding.com that make real-world keyholding accessible to everyone.

What Is Online Keyholding? Understanding the Core Dynamic

At its core, keyholding refers to the act of surrendering the key to your chastity device to another person, commonly a Dominant partner or professional keyholder (which is particularly common in FemDom).

In traditional in-person dynamics, the keyholder literally controls access to the device. However, in the digital version of this dynamic, online keyholding utilizes trust, communication, and tech tools like lockboxes, Bluetooth-enabled devices, and mailing services to replicate real control from a distance.

For many, the psychological thrill lies not only in physical denial but in the symbolic act of giving someone else the power to decide when, how, and if release is ever allowed. This makes the keyholding meaning more than just a kinky gesture. It becomes a form of mental training, submission, and emotional release.

Choosing the Right Chastity Keyholder: Domme/Dom, Partner, or Professional

Not all people into chastity are the same. In fact, not all keyholders are the same. Some are lifestyle partners with whom you’ve developed deep trust; others are professional or online femdom keyholders who offer structured control, rules, and tasks as part of a domination experience.

When choosing a chastity keyholder, it’s vital to ensure that communication, respect, and clear boundaries are part of the relationship. A keyholder Domme often brings the advantage of experience and erotic creativity, creating dynamic routines, humiliation tasks, or obedience challenges, but they must still be vetted like anyone else. Especially today, with chastity and kink in general becoming more and more popular, it’s important to make sure the person you’re choosing as a keyholder is responsible, experienced, and real.

Always look for signs of genuine engagement, such as willingness to negotiate a chastity contract, frequent communication, and a solid reputation in online communities.

Crafting a Chastity Contract: Your Safety Net in Keyholding Play

A chastity contract is a written agreement between the submissive and the keyholder that outlines the rules, expectations, and limitations of the dynamic.

While not legally binding, it serves as a crucial roadmap that ensures both parties understand the boundaries of their play. The contract should include duration of lock-up, behavioral expectations, safe word protocols, rules for communication and reporting, punishments for disobedience, and conditions for early release.

Including clauses for emotional and physical safety such as emergency key access or third-party intervention, is non-negotiable. In online keyholding, where physical cues are limited, a chastity contract becomes even more important for preserving trust and security.

LockedInKeyholding.com: A Trusted Platform for Real Chastity Control

One of the most innovative and trusted platforms in the online chastity scene is LockedInKeyholding.com. This service bridges the gap between fantasy and reality by physically locking you in a device with no digital override. Here’s how it works: you purchase a padlock from them that comes without the key.

The key is kept safe by the service, and you choose whether to have it mailed back after a fixed duration, at random, or after a challenge period. This creates a real, tangible sense of powerlessness, far beyond what app-based systems offer.

With options for surprise extensions and early release penalties, LockedInKeyholding delivers a uniquely secure and psychologically intense experience for those serious about chastity keyholding. The anonymity, discretion, and user-control options make it an excellent choice for both beginners and advanced players looking to remove temptation and fully surrender to the experience.

Safety is paramount in any BDSM setup and Keyholding makes no difference, especially in online environments where face-to-face trust isn’t possible. Before locking up, both parties must agree on an emergency release protocol.

This could include a second key stored with a trusted friend, a lockbox with a timed override, or a digital safe word that, when invoked, pauses the dynamic until emotional and physical safety can be assessed.

In platforms like LockedInKeyholding, an early release option is available, though it typically comes with a penalty to discourage casual unlocking. Make sure your keyholder Donne or Dom understands your limits and respects the set boundaries.

If you ever feel pressure, manipulation, or emotional distress, communicate and, if necessary, withdraw. In online keyholding, mutual respect is not a bonus, it’s the foundation.

Psychological Depth of Chastity Keyholding

The effects of chastity go beyond physical denial. The longer you’re locked, the more the experience becomes psychological. You begin to crave not only release, but attention, praise, or even punishment from your keyholder.

Many submissives report becoming more emotionally open, focused, or dependent during long-term chastity. For some, it’s a form of spiritual submission, reinforcing devotion and surrender to their keyholder.

This dynamic can be both empowering and vulnerable, which is why emotional check-ins and journaling are often recommended. Writing down your feelings, urges, dreams, and reactions during the experience not only enhances self-awareness but gives your keyholder insight into your evolving mindset.

Making the Most of Your Online Keyholding Journey

To enjoy online keyholding safely while getting the most out of it**,** make sure to:

take time to build your foundation.
Vet your chastity keyholder.
Sign a detailed chastity contract.
Use secure tools and platforms like LockedInKeyHolding.
Set limits and rituals.
Engage in communities like r/chastity or Chastity Mansion for advice and support.

And most importantly, listen to your body and mind. No kink is worth your safety, and no dynamic should leave you feeling unsafe, neglected, or unsure. When done correctly, keyholding can become one of the most transformative erotic experiences available; one that blends discipline, denial, devotion, and psychological pleasure into a unique lifestyle.

Trust, Control, and the Art of Chastity

To those really into the lifestyle**, Chastity keyholding** is more than a kink; it’s an art. And this is true both on the Dom and on the sub side of the relationship.

When done safely and with intention, it becomes a deep form of connection, control, and psychological exploration. Whether you’re exploring through an online femdom keyholder, a long-term partner, or through services like LockedInKeyholding.com, the path you take should always prioritize consent, communication, and security.

From your chastity contract to the final release, every step should be handled with purpose and care. Embrace the surrender, master the denial, and enjoy the transformative journey that chastity keyholding has to offer.

Effectively Use Chastity Training to Transform Your Submissive

Austin Madore — Sat, 21 Jan 2023 15:42:20 +0000

What is Chastity Training?

Through this behavior modification process, the submissive ultimately wishes to become the perfect version of themselves for their Dominant.

This process of training the submissive of the Do’s and Don’ts can be lengthy, lasting weeks, if not months, and often requires the use of a chastity device, such as The Vice, for the duration (and usually continuing thereafter) – this is the fundamental idea behind chastity training.

In fact, for male submissives, chastity training has a deep impact on the understanding of being self-focused versus selflessness-focused.

You can deepen this topic on this other read, all you need to know about male chastity.

How would your “perfect” submissive behave?

The first step with chastity training – also known as Slave Training – is to define what you want from your submissive. This is most Dominant’s favorite part!

Write out, or better yet, have your submissive write for you, all of the traits and behaviors you wish for them to adopt and display. Be picky here, nothing is too small nor too big. Keep in mind, your submissive wants you to be picky. They want to cater to your every desire.

This part is entirely what you wish for. It could be:

having your submissive open the car door for you
get on their hands and knees and kiss your feet to greet you every day
foot massages every night
cook dinner and clean the dishes
always saying “please” and “thank you”
running to the gas station to fill up your car or run other errands

or anything else your heart desires!

After writing out the Do’s, now you want to shift the focus on the Don’ts. What behaviors do you want your submissive to stop doing? Again, be as picky as you would like here.

This could be things like:

your submissive is not allowed to talk back to you
they cannot complain (especially when the frustration of chastity builds up)
not leaving the toilet seat up (well they won’t be able to piss while standing anyway)
not watching pornography
not being distracted by their phone or TV when you’re talking to them

or anything else you wish for them to stop doing.

Using Rewards/Punishments for Behavior Modification

One of the two most important ingredients to successful chastity training effectively is using rewards and punishments to modify your submissive’s behavior to tailor them to your wants and needs. The second is having a clear and structured training regimen put in place (more about that in the next section).

Much like Pavlov’s Dog Training Theory, where Pavlov would ring a bell and then feed his dogs a steak, and after a few days they would begin to salivate at the sound of the bell, even if a steak wasn’t given after; the human brain works very similarly.

In the training process, you want to use rewards and punishments in a similar fashion to associate rewards with good behavior, effectively training your submissive to gain pleasure from good behaviors.

And punish bad behaviors so they associate pain or discomfort from that bad behavior, making them less likely to occur.

When you notice your submissive displaying “Good” behaviors, you want to reward them. The reward is most effective if given closer to when the behavior is displayed.

This could be something small such as saying that seeing them doing this makes you happy, or you can rub their genitals while they do the behavior, or telling them they’ve earned some edges later.

The goal here is to associate positivity with the behavior they are displaying.

In the beginning, as your submissive is adopting these new behaviors, it’s important to give lots of praise and frequent rewards. As the behavior becomes ingrained, you can ween them off and make the rewards less frequent, as this new behavior transitions from “adopting” to “expected”.

When it comes to punishing bad behavior, it works the same but in reverse. The first time your submissive misbehaves or acts against your wishes, you can give them a stern warning not to do it again or there will be consequences (this is optional, some Dominants go immediately to a punishment).

The next time this bad behavior shows up, a punishment is in order. This can be writing lines, slapping the genitals, or putting them in the corner of the room for a time out (yes, adults – especially submissives – can and should be put in time out).

If any bad behavior is displayed again, the punishments should become increasingly severe. A few ideas here are:

skipping their next orgasm
1 hour of predicament bondage
leaving them tied to the bed for a few hours (time out)
CBT (Cock and Balls Torture)
spankings

With punishing bad behavior, it is crucial that every single display of bad behavior is punished, and done so as close to the display of bad behavior as possible. If you let it go unchecked, even once, it will massively weaken the impact it has on modifying the behavior.

It may sound cruel or harsh to react this way, but your submissive will respect and appreciate you for doing it, as it will help them achieve their goal of being the perfect submissive for you.

Structuring the Chastity Training

Now that you have your list of Do’s and Don’ts, and understand how to effectively use rewards and punishments to influence the correct behaviors, it’s time to structure the chastity training regimen.

Start off by creating a list of rewards that can be given for good behavior, as well as a list of punishments for bad behavior. Some bad behaviors can have more severe punishments than others (such as having unauthorized orgasms). Your submissive should help you create this list, and will be more than excited to do so!

Now choose 3-5 good behaviors you want your submissive to start implementing right away! It can be more if you wish, but it can become increasingly difficult the more behaviors you attempt to change at once.

This can cause your submissive to become frustrated and overwhelmed if overloaded. Each person is different in this regard, so it’s best to discuss this with your submissive and find a comfortable number that will stretch his or her abilities, but not overwhelm them.

However, all bad behaviors should be revoked at the start of training. It will be easier to avoid the bad behaviors than it will be to take on and adopt new behaviors.

As your submissive displays the good behavior, you can choose which reward(s) to give them. Small rewards can be given often, and larger rewards (such as unlocked teasing, a ruined orgasm, or even a full orgasm) should be earned with repeated, continual good behavior, and no presence of any bad behaviors.

When your submissive is doing a good behavior task, and it is not done to your exact specifications the first time, simply let them know exactly how you want it done in the future, and expect them to do it that way moving forward. Failure to do it to your exact liking after the first talk should be considered a bad behavior and punished accordingly.

After a week or two, these good behaviors should start to become automatic for your submissive, and should be done without you asking. As this happens, the rewards should become less frequent. Give the occasional small reward if they are doing a consistent good job, and big rewards when they really go above and beyond for you.

At this point, you can now give your submissive an additional 3-5 (or whichever number you agreed upon) good behaviors for them to work on. And the process should repeat itself. As time goes on, and the chastity training continues, your submissive will gradually display more and more of the good behaviors you wish of them.

You will enjoy the benefits of having your submissive catering to your every whim, while your submissive will take great pleasure from the satisfaction they are bringing you. It’s a Win-Win!

Wrapping it up

Chastity training – or depending on how deep you want to go, some will call it slave training – is the process of using a chastity device along with rewards and punishments to modify your submissive’s behavior to become your ideal submissive.

By using rewards for when your submissive displays good behavior, it will reinforce this behavior, making them more likely and willing to continue doing it moving forward. They can even gain pleasure from doing it, knowing it will serve you better.

Consequently, using punishments when bad behaviors are displayed will associate pain or discomfort to your submissive, making those behaviors less desirable, ultimately phasing them out.

Determine what your ideal behavior traits are, and begin working on training your submissive with 3-5 good behaviors at a time, and eliminating all bad behaviors from the start, using the rewards and punishments to train them to become your ideal submissive.
