How does virtual keyholding work?


In a real-life chastity scenario, you lock yourself in a chastity device, and give the key to your keyholder. When they decide the time is right, they give you the key back, and you can get out of chastity.

This can even work in a long-distance scenario. Instead of giving your key to your keyholder, you mail it to them. And instead of giving the key back, they mail it back to you. Sounds simple, but it poses lots of major issues. First of all, the time it takes for your mail to arrive, and for the key to arrive back to you, limits the use of this method to longer periods. You can't be locked up for only a couple of days. Your key hasn't even arrived at your keyholder by then. If time is no longer an issue, then the big question becomes: how much do you trust the postal service? I, personally, have very bad experiences with postal services throughout the world, so I definitely wouldn't trust them with such a sensitive item as the key to my chastity device.

Virtual keyholding to the rescue! :) In a virtual keyholding scenario, you lock yourself in a chastity device, then lock the key in a safe. The best is a simple number-combination safe where you can change the combination to anything you want. You change the combination to a number we give you, lock the key, then we hide the number, and you forget it. When the time comes to open your chastity device, we give you the number to your safe. You get the key, and remove your chastity device. The key always stays with you, you just don't have access to it.

I know what you're thinking: you'll remember the combination, and can open the safe at any time. You might. At first. But after multiple different combinations, even with a sharp mind, you won't be sure which number was the last one.

Of course, you could always write the combination down, just as you could copy the key before handing it over to a real-life keyholder. But remember that this is a game; a game that you want to play. Would you spoil your own game?

What happens in an emergency? You can click the "Emergency unlock..." button after logging in, and our system will tell you the combination to your safe, and you can retrieve the key. (We do have a hardcore mode, where this is not possible, and you have to give up total control. But that's only for the more experienced users.)

And then there's the physical emergency solution: your own emergency key. A second key that you can always get to in an emergency. While this key should be easily accessible, in case you need to take off your chastity device quickly, it shouldn't be something you would normally want to use. Some people prefer burying it in their garden, so they have to do a physical activity to get to it. While they do this, they rethink the situation: is it really an emergency, such as having to go to the doctor, or do I just feel uncomfortable, which is perfectly normal during this game? Others keep the emergency key in a jar of honey, for example. It's messy to get to. You can always do it, but then you have to clean everything up. Is it worth it? Do you really need to use it? Another solution, which, I believe, most people prefer, is to lock the key up in a plastic tube with a numbered plastic seal. You can always get to it, but you have to break the seal, which makes you pause for a moment to re-think the situation.

Whatever solution you use for an emergency key, keep one thing in mind: always have an emergency key. You never know what will happen in real life, or when you'll have to remove your chastity device. Play responsibly, and always have a way out for emergencies. It could cost you (such as having to clean up the mess), but it should always be available.

Remember: you are locking yourself up at your own risk. You alone are responsible for what happens to you. Be responsible! This is a game. Never do anything you are not comfortable with, and always have an escape plan!
