Chastity may also involve the use of male chastity devices or the deliberate denial of orgasms by the dominant partner for a period of time. The key holder may also practice orgasm control or ruin the submissive man's orgasms while he’s under their control. In these practices, the man enjoys some sexual pleasure without experiencing the satisfying release that comes with orgasm.
This type of male chastity may help encourage men to pay attention to the needs of their partners instead of concentrating on their own pleasure. Many men enjoy the delayed gratification, while their partners enjoy taking control of their lover’s sexual release. Male chastity may be a regular part of a couple’s interaction or simply a way to spice up their sex life in the short term.
In kink circles, the month of October is often referred to as "Locktober," and is when people who enjoy chastity play may challenge themselves to chastity - with or without the help of a device - for the month.
