Locktober
What is locktober?
Locktober is a term that has been used to refer to a chastity challenge or event that takes place during the month of October. Chastity is a practice in which an individual, often in the context of a BDSM or kink relationship, consensually relinquishes control of their sexual activities to a partner. This usually involves the use of a chastity device or “chastity cage” that physically restricts access to the genitals, preventing the wearer from engaging in sexual activity or achieving orgasm without the keyholder’s permission.
During Locktober, participants may commit to wearing chastity device, for the entire month of October, with the goal of self-discipline and self-control. It can be seen as a form of sexual or BDSM play, a test of endurance, or a way to explore power dynamics in a relationship. However, it’s important to emphasize that all activities related to chastity should be consensual and follow the principles of safe, sane, and consensual (SSC) or risk-aware consensual kink (RACK).
