In an ornate courtyard surrounded by pillars and arches, a man wearing only a steel chastity belt stands with his arms at his sides and his head bowed.
This photograph is an old one sourced from Jan Thor’s website. If you’re into sexual teasing and denial, as I am, you probably know that Jan’s website is one of the oldest about the topic. (I first found it in 1996, when I was 12.) I believe this picture is doctored; neither the man’s tattoo nor his chastity belt exist in the original photo. This version was suggested by xilefc, who wrote:
I saw your posting on Male Chastity and Orgasm Tease and Denial, then checked out your profile, which led me to MaleSubmissionArt. WOW! It made me think of a photo found on an older chastity site done by a German lady. The photo is of a male in a chastity belt from the back. His head is lowered and he appears to be in deep contemplation, perhaps as to his enforced chaste condition? Certainly it is open to interpretation, depending on one’s knowledge and/or experience with male chastity. As someone who has worn full s/s CBs since 1993 (unfortunately not 24/7), I find this photo a real turn on.
Although I think that Jan is actually a man, I share xilefc’s excitement for this image. Chastity play, as it’s often called, happens to be an extraordinarily popular kink and yet it remains surprisingly undiscussed in real-world gatherings, particularly BDSM groups. Further, the name itself is a bit of a misnomer. The word “chastity” contains heavy implications of morality and even religion, which don’t necessarily have anything to do with this kind of sex, no matter your spiritual beliefs. A better name is orgasm control, since the entire so-called chastity fetish is really a fetish for the intersection of power dynamics and sexual pleasure.
