Our Definition

refers to the practice of orgasm denial, typically lasting for at least one entire scene, but often longer periods of time. Can include devices such as belts or cages for the purpose of physically prohibiting the wearer from achieving arousal and/or orgasm.

Common Practices & Experiences

Everyone is different! You'll see this repeated throughout our website and glossary. Common chastity practices include, but certainly aren't limited to:
  • Use of devices like chastity belts or cock cages
  • A locking device’s key being held by the wearer’s dominant partner
  • Agreeing upon a set timeframe for chastity play. 

River participates in “Locktober” every year, spending a whole month in a chastity device which makes it impossible for them to achieve orgasm.

Phylissia wears an ornate key as a symbol of the chasity power dynamic she has with her submissive partner. 
Julio feels that chastity brings him closer to his mistress, and reinforces the feeling of being fully owned.
