Male Chastity: A Guide for Keyholders

I read three books on this subject and this was the best in my opinion. Best for beginners anyhow. I read the three books to figure out which one would be best for my wife to read. I don't think she's familiar with this topic and I don't want to scare her off. This book was just right. It does well explaining topics and themes without going overboard. I didn't want to give my wife a book that would make her think she has to put on this whole theatrical production like some other books might make you think. This is not about leather and whips and chains. It would be a solid foundation to build upon for those couples looking to take it further. But that's not the purpose here. So if your wife is pretty vanilla and you're going to tell her about Chastity for the first time this would be your best book. It will explain things without scaring her away. And if she's not into it after reading the book you don't have to feel like perv for suggesting it. I do recommend this book.

I found this book to be written in a very insightful and wise manner. The writer has a lot of experience on the subject and writes very thoughtfully about it, providing guidance and best practices for navigating complex situations and how to safely adopt the lifestyle. It's not written in a cheap, dirty manner, rather she approaches the subject in a mature and really readable style that makes understanding it easy and exciting. I'd recommend this book to couples interested in pursuing a more exciting romantic life or adding some spice to your relationship. This will definitely do it.

All pretty basic info so good if you don't know anything about the lifestyle but I didn't really get a lot from the book bc Im pretty familiar with the subject.

A good read

If you are totally new to the world of male chastity (or any kinkey play for that matter) and you and your partner are toying with whether or not it is for you and helpful hints as you dip your toe into this kind of play, the book is great. It is a good read, not too long, and has enough information to help you make an informed decision. What it doesn't have is any real information on what happens after you choose to go on this journey. I am new to the world of chastity but there was little information I found useful. It felt much more like reading an encouraging letter to give it a try rather than a real guide for keyholders.

I've read quite a few books about female domination, chastity and other related topics, trying to find the right one(s) for my girlfriend to understand my fantasies. This one is by far the best, because it puts things in non-vulgar terms, delves into a new subject for her in a non-threatening way and is presented in way that a woman can relate to. In other words, many books on subjects like this are just too over-the-top and may be a little too much for a woman to read without feeling truly perverse. Lucy Fairbourne explains male chastity in a way that will actually appeal to a woman reader and leave her with a true understanding of her man's desire and how to do it. This is the perfect book to give a women you truly want to understand your desires for male chastity, because it presents everything from a balanced, reasonable perspective. Moreover, if you truly want your lady to consider putting you in chastity, this is the book to get.

For a spouse that has questions, from a beginners standpoint, this has much insight to begin the journey.

This book was represented as a companion to “Locked-In Love”. I’m pretty upset with this, as it’s actually a how-to manual for women on weaponizing sex. That’s the polar opposite of the message of “Locked-In Love”! If you’re looking for a book about how to become more self aware and improve your relationship, get Key Barrett’s book, but leave this one on the shelf.

Really well written book with lots of sensible explanations for wives and girlfriends who are not sure about the idea. I read it and then plucked up the courage to ask my wife to read it. She had locked me before but that was it, this time she enjoyed teasing me, she wore her key round her neck to yoga and told me that if they know well then they will know. The idea of strangers knowing blew me away. We had the best day and night, thanks book.

Great information , was a help with us getting started.

- Sehr gute Heranführung an das Thema Keuschhaltung - Sachliche und realistische Beschreibung und Anleitung - Sehr zu empfehlen für Frauen, die sich für das Thema der männlichen Keuschhaltung interessieren oder durch Ihren Partner darauf aufmerksam gemacht wurden. Hierbei handelt es nicht um erotische Geschichten oder Kopfkino sondern um sinnvolle Tipps zum Thema. Wer sich für das Thema Keuschhaltung interessiert kommt an diesem Buch nicht vorbei. Im Gegensatz zu Anleitungen und Texten im Internet geht es hierbei wirklich um die Keuschhaltung und nicht um erotische Geschichten. Das Buch gibt es auch auf deutsch. Die deutsche Version ist leider sehr schlecht übersetzt, daher empfehle ich sehr die englische Originalversion.

Interesting but failed to really explore the methods available to key holders to punish their submissive.

An easy and quick read. It's a good book as an introduction for people who are asked to be a potential keyholder, as it's not very kinky oriented but mostly informative with a good emphasis on consent and exploring on your terms and pace. Maybe that's why it's also quite monogamy assuming, so don't expect anything on chastity play within nonmonogamous dynamics like polyamory or kinks like cuckolding. Nevertheless, still a very good place to start exploring the topic to see if it's anything for you and how to try it mindfully, without raising expectations to indulge beyond anything you are not comfortable with or fear of no returning. Do note that it is very heterosexually focussed with gender binary thinking. I would have loved to have a bit more feminist theory in there as well, however, it does give some examples of patriarchal dynamics and behaviors and how chastity can serve as a pragmatic feminist tool to rebalance those.
