Chastity
Definition
Chastity is a form of play or lifestyle in which a person is restricted in their ability to engage in sexual activity. This can be achieved with a chastity belt, a chastity belt, or through mental agreements and control by the Dominant(e).
Explanation of chastity
The concept of chastity is about controlling and regulating sexuality. The submissive is restricted in his or her ability to masturbate or orgasm, usually by means of a physical aid such as a chastity cage (for penis wearers) or a chastity belt (for vagina wearers). Control of the key often lies with the Dominant, symbolizing the transfer of power.
The appeal of chastity can have different layers. For some, it is purely physical: the idea of having their genitals locked away can cause constant tension and arousal. For others, the experience is more psychological: the feeling of surrender, dependence, and powerlessness, knowing that the Dominant determines when (and if) an orgasm will occur.
Short-term or long-term
Chastity can be practiced for a short period of time, for example during a session or weekend, but also for a long period of time – sometimes weeks or months at a time. In extreme cases, it is experienced as a lifestyle, with the sub living in structural chastity under the supervision of the Dominant. The element of control and denial is experienced by many as a powerful dynamic that can strengthen discipline, tension, and a deep emotional bond.
Safety & points of attention
A chastity device must fit properly and be cleaned regularly to prevent skin irritation, fungus, or infections.
Make sure the device is not too tight; prolonged constriction can be dangerous.
Not everyone can cope with prolonged denial. Discuss boundaries and be alert to frustration or psychological pressure.
Agree on how the device can be quickly removed in an emergency (e.g., using a spare key or a safety lock).
