Locktober: Exploring Chastity, Anticipation & Kink

Happy Locktober to all those who celebrate (or anyone curious)! Chastity play can be an exciting way to try something new, build anticipation, or explore trust and communication with your partner. During the month of October, chastity play enthusiasts within the BDSM and kink communities choose to wear a device for a set period of time and often incorporate elements of orgasm control and teasing. Some people choose to start with short periods of wear while others commit to longer periods, there is no right or wrong way to play, as long as you're playing safe! 

What Is Chastity Play? 

Chastity play involves using a device like a cock cage or chastity belt to restrict access to the genitals. It doesn't need to exclusively involve a partner, as some people choose to enjoy it as a solo adventure. When playing with a partner, the wearer may decide to give their partner control over when it is removed or set rules around when the device can be unlocked. 

Choosing A Chastity Device

A few variables go into choosing the device that's right for you. Material, size and design are a few factors to consider before purchasing a device. 

Material options:

• silicone
• plastic
• metal

Size:

• will the device cause irritation or discomfort?
• will this device restrict circulation?
• will the device be too loose?

Design: 

• will this be discreet under clothing? 
• what type of locking mechanism is used?
• how easy is this device to clean?
• do I want something simple, or an added feature like remote control vibration or urethral sound?

Safety & Consent

Like any BDSM or kink activity, safety and consent are of upmost importance. Before you play consider the following: 

• how long will the chastity device be worn?
• how can the wearer communicate discomfort or request release? 
• has a safeword been established? 

What safety precautions should be taken while wearing a chastity device?

• the device should be properly cleaned and stored to maintain hygiene 
• the device should be removed if any swelling, numbness or discoloration occur
• the device should be removed if any pain occurs 
• the device should be  tested in short spurts of wear to see how your body responds and extended intermittently
