A long time ago, when this website still was a little creepy-black HTML monster, its most-read article was a sponsored post about male chastity β or anti-erection devices to be precise. I deleted it more than a decade past and I actually had forgotten about its improbable success until the Pandemic hit , and I started noticing a marked spike in denial-related kink and porn. I guess it is therefore time to re-examine the subject with an in-depth job, collecting everything you may ever want to know about such a counter-intuitive pleasure.
Enforced chastity as an erotic game has always been around, but its appeal tends to peak in anxiety-ridden times. As countless mystics maintained throughout history, removing genital stimulation from your life can have a surprisingly grounding β if not even calming β effect.
First of all, if you are prevented from using your penis, all sexual performance anxiety just disappears. You are just not supposed to spend any energy into a whole area of your identity and self-image that lots of men experience more as a worry than as a pleasure. Anyway, a rather big albeit rarely conscious point of interest in this practice basically boils down to: you can finally relax, and put whatever stamina you have left into other, more pleasant aspects of your relationship.
Chief among them is actual arousal. This may sound odd, but many enthusiasts report that when you take expectations out of the equation, you are free to enjoy your sex drive as a gift instead of a burden; you actually savor it β especially because there is no alternative.
For almost everyone, this peculiar situation inevitably also reminds them of the unending frustration they felt as teenagers, when their desire for a partner was at its peak yet generally unreciprocated.
