What is chastity ?
Chastity is when one partner hands over control of their sexual pleasure to their partner often involving chastity devices.
BDSM has a diverse range of sexual practices, and within it, chastity is a compelling and exciting concept.
Chastity involves the voluntary restriction of sexual gratification by means of various equipment and practices. This article explores the essence of chastity in BDSM, the motivations behind its practice, and a guide to the types of chastity equipment available for both men and women.
What is Chastity in BDSM?
Chastity in BDSM is a consensual power exchange practice in which one partner, often referred to as the "keyholder" or "Dominant," controls the sexual freedom of the other partner, known as the "chaste" or "submissive" individual.
The chaste partner wears a chastity device, a type of sex toy or bondage gear designed to prevent sexual activity or self-stimulation. The keyholder retains control over when and if the chaste partner is allowed sexual release.
The Appeal of Chastity in BDSM
Power Dynamics:
Chastity play gives a sense of power exchange and control within the BDSM relationship. The keyholder exercises dominance and authority, while the chaste partner submits to the will of the keyholder, creating an intense psychological dynamic.
Teasing and Denial:
The denial of sexual gratification and the anticipation of potential release can lead to heightened arousal, intensifying both physical and emotional connections between partners.
Trust and Vulnerability:
Engaging in chastity requires a high level of trust and communication between partners. The vulnerability of the chaste partner entrusting their desires to the keyholder fosters emotional intimacy.
Erotic Humiliation:
For some individuals, being kept in chastity can evoke feelings of erotic humiliation, which can be pleasurable and arousing in a BDSM context.
Types of Chastity Equipment
Chastity Cages:
Chastity cages are the most common type of chastity equipment for men. They are typically made of materials like plastic, silicone, or metal. The cage is secured around the penis and prevents full erections and any sexual contact.
Chastity Belts:
Historically, chastity belts were devices worn by women to prevent sexual activity or protect against rape. In modern BDSM, chastity belts are used symbolically and are available for both men and women. They cover the genital area and often have a locking mechanism.
Chastity Piercings:
Some individuals opt for permanent chastity piercings, wherein a piercing is inserted through the foreskin or labia, and a lock or closure is used to prevent any sexual activity.
Female Chastity Devices:
There are specific female chastity devices that encase the labia and clitoris, restricting any touch or stimulation.
Remote-Controlled Devices:
Technologically advanced chastity devices come with remote-controlled features, allowing the keyholder to tease or grant release from a distance.
Chastity in BDSM is a thrilling exploration of power dynamics and trust, offering an intense and intimate experience for those involved.
The voluntary restriction of sexual gratification through various chastity equipment allows individuals to delve deeper into their desires and explore new dimensions of their relationships.
If you are considering chastity play, remember the significance of communication, consent, and mutual understanding between partners. Always prioritise safety and comfort when choosing and using chastity equipment.
