Chastity Today...
A Unique Experience:
Chastity devices can bring something truly unique to any
relationship. Eroticism becomes enriched with the delights
and frustrations of orgasm denial, of teasing and of tormenting.
Keyholders discover the empowerment and intricacies of control.
While the chaste man learns that masturbation does not equate
to sexual enjoyment and fulfillment, and he learns the "gift
of orgasm".
Formation of the Fantasy:
Chastity belts and devices have long formed part of
human sexual fantasy and desire, perhaps gaining
popularity during the Victorian era with myths of
Medieval Lords and Knights riding off to fight in
the crusades whilst leaving their ladies at home
locked in a chastity belt. At this time the fantasy
was usually based around the dominant male and the
chaste submissive female, but over the last 50 or so
years this has changed. During Victoria's reign there
was a strong religious focus on chastity and purity
resulting in an explosion in the production of chastity
devices for men in both Europe and America. The intention
of these devices was to prevent masturbation. As the use
of these devices slowly gained popularity, so the male
fantasy of chastity grew.
The vast majority of chastity belts and devices produced
and sold around the world today are designed for men, and
it is estimated that of all chastity belt wearers as much
as 90% of them are male. (Our own survey carried
out between July 2003 and July 2004 resulted in just 1% of
respondents being female wearers, this figure is probably
in part due to Chastity UK having more male visitors than
female).
Today's Society:
Within today's fast moving society our Western culture
teaches us from a very young age that to succeed in life
we must strive for gratification, be the best, be the
quickest, aim high, and win at all costs. But most men
would agree that when it comes to orgasm more, sooner
or faster ejaculations does not necessarily mean greater
sexual enjoyment. This is something which regular wears
of chastity devices would readily agree with.
The Gift of Orgasm:
Men locked in chastity report that although they have far
fewer orgasms than the "average" male, those
which they do have are more intense, more fulfilling
and of a much better quality than they previously
experienced. And so a chaste man learns to appreciate
his orgasms more as he learn the very gift of each
permitted orgasm.
Male chastity is not merely concerned with your wife
controlling your sexual activity, but whether or not
she will grant you permission to orgasm for her.
Masturbation:
Male Chastity is not simply about being "Chaste"
or "faithful" to a lover, it is also concerned
with not masturbating, and saving that energy for higher
things. In terms of chastity, masturbation is not the
"gift of orgasm" it is a solitary act, to
please and arouse oneself. The energy and effort expelled
during self masturbation should be diverted to paying
attention to your keyholder, remember that a chaste male
within a loving relationship is saving himself for his
Mistress, and that includes his soul, his body, his mind
and the spiritual energy potential within him.
The above statement is not implying that masturbation in
general is wrong, it is how young people learn about their
sexual selves, how young adults practice for the real thing.
Moderate masturbation is both normal and healthy it can
relieve stress and be a wonderful accompaniment to fantasy.
However, in terms of a chastity lifestyle masturbation can
be viewed as a selfish, solitary act, which if practiced
excessively could become an addictive solution to the
stress of our ever demanding work and life commitments.
Masturbation could become a distraction from life's
problems, and will mean that energy used for self
pleasure could be better used elsewhere in your life,
primarily on activities to please your keyholder and
make her life easier.
Tantric Teachings & Chastity:
Early Tantric writings have many similarities to today's
chastity lifestyle. The relationship between the chaste
male and his keyholder are very close to customs of
Tantrism which were formed around the belief that women
possessed a higher level of spiritual energy than men,
and that men could only hope to attain this through a
loving, sexual and emotional relationship with a woman.
This meant that the frequency of intercourse and male
orgasm was controlled by the woman, and that she should
be pleased by him, before he would be permitted orgasm.
Tantric teachings tell us that the feeling of being
drained after orgasm is a loss in spiritual energy,
and that a man should store up his vital fluids rather
than expending his energy in ejaculation.
The similarities are that key holders control their chaste
male, he needs to first please his lover, and bring her
to orgasmic ecstasy many times before he is granted release.
He needs to learn that his key holder's sexual desires and
pleasures are also his needs and pleasures. He will learn
to experience sexual ecstasy without the need for frequent
ejaculations and orgasms. He will learn that penetration
is not essential to please his lady, and his skills of
oral servitude will vastly improve whilst he is locked
within a chastity device.
Today's Chastity Lifestyles:
Male chastity today fits more commonly in to a healthy
loving and sexual relationship than into the world of BDSM
and leather clad dominatrix, and it works best if the following
5 elements are part of that relationship:
-
Your wife enjoys controlling your sexual activity.
-
Your wife delights in deciding whether or not she
will permit you to orgasm.
-
You have an overwhelming need to please your wife without
promise, or expectation, of reward.
-
You feel you need to be submissive toward your loving
wife, and that you want to be aware of her every need.
-
Chastity has been a major fetish for you.
Male chastity today is something unique to each individual
man and his relationship. In general no one style of chastity
is better than any other, it is what is best for you and your wife.
With the increased interest in the wonders of male chastity
the internet has exploded with information, there are many
stories of men who remain in their chastity devices for many
months at a time without any release, in some cases years
(Our own survey of 2003 - 2004 had one respondent stating
that he had been locked up for 8 years without any release).
However, these "facts" and stories are more likely
to be based on fantasy. There are very few chastity belts,
tubes and cages which one would be able to wear for such a
long period of time without a single moments release. Think
about issues of cleanliness and health.
Within some loving relationships the husband is kept in
chastity by his wife as part of their lifestyle, he will
be locked in for a period of weeks and released when she
demands, or when she wants to feel him inside her. It is
not uncommon in relationships where the wife has introduced
her husband to male chastity that he will remain locked in
for periods of 6 months or so, of course being released
only for reasons of hygiene and then locked in again.
Sometimes the male will be required to wear a strap-on
dildo to pleasure his lover, while he is denied. There
are even some MCDs with attachments specifically designed
for this purpose to ensure that the man feels very little
sensation.
Just because a man is locked in a chastity device does not
mean that he should not initiate sex. Many chaste men are
still expected by their dominant wife and keyholder to
"make the first move".
Some keyholders require that the chaste male should masturbate
himself to orgasm before being locked up again. Others do not.
Some couples will use chastity as an extension of BDSM, and
again this does not appeal to others. To some the idea of
being cockholded is an overwhelming desire.
In some relationships the partners will have a chastity
contract, signed and agreed by both which clearly sets
out what is expected of the chaste male, the slave, as
well as the responsibilities of the key holder.
Chastity belts and devices also fit well into D/s relationships
as a tool of female supremacy to be used occasionally.
Finally the chastity fantasy is a desire of many single men.
The eroticism of having your penis enslaved, held captive
and of being denied orgasm is an overwhelming sensation.
As mentioned at the beginning of this page the use of
chastity belts and devices can bring something very
special to your life whether you are single or in a
relationship. The very thought of such intimate control
of your masculinity and your cock can be the most highly
erotic way of life, fantasy, desire or need.
