The denial of denial

Aarkeybabble : Arachnoidea and her deliciously detailed and tiny waisted corset!I'm in a strange place emotionally. Yesterday I realized that this blog had crossed the 4 year milestone on 12/3/11; and that started me on a little trip down memory lane. It also took me to a few blog entries which had bad links, and the one that was very much a part of what inspired this blog, Ms. Arachnoidea's super elaborate corset.

As I mentioned previously, things are in transition in Casa D'Aarkey. I don't know where it will all go, but everything has been put on hold - for several reasons, most of which I don't want to mull over.

And it's been interesting. One of the weirdest things for me, and which has been really pushing it's way into my psyche again, is chastity. This is the longest I've gone without putting on a chastity belt... probably since I first got one back in 2003.Aarkeybabble : Aarkey's Male Chastity FAQ - chastity advice and help for beginners and keyholders. And the fact is, I miss being kept in chastity.

I don't think I miss it enough to put it on myself yet. The control aspect of the denial was always a big part of the appeal (and grew to be much bigger as I played with it more.) So doing that to myself - with the keys in the mail kind of thing, I don't know that it would work.

I'm quite sure I could get the keys held, but do I really want that even is something I wonder. The idea of asking to be locked up for X period of time is so completely different from being told I'm being locked up. I just don't think I could get my head into the right mindset where I would enjoy it, ya know?

Aarkeybabble : Domina Ms. Karin sure knows how to get her sub to strain in his chastity belt!I still get regular inquiries from people about chastity. After starting the Chastity FAQ a few years ago, I became a bit of an expert on it in a few circles, and as such, people still point people my way with questions. And I really am happy to help. The gushing notes I get from a sub or a keyholder about how chastity has impacted their relationships is always awesome.

But I actually get a bit jealous now.

Not that I would necessarily want to go where they do, although the fantasy of really truly regretting being in a situation that I asked for definitely holds a twisted appeal. With all the transitions in my life, I wonder just how much of my fantasies to I really want to be real? How much do I need to be happy?

Aarkeybabble : It seems that the amount of information out there about chastity and prostate play increases exponentially each year.Would I feel sated if I were truly, and strictly denied like that? If I were subjected harsh domination, strict chastity and prostate milking, with no release at all, for who knows how long?

Would I be happy about the fantasy in my head where after weeks in chastity my keyholder takes me the dungeon. She ties me down tightly and removes the chastity belt. She takes out a powerful vibrator, puts it next to me. Lighting a long cigarette, she explains to me what is about to happen... "After I'm done smoking this cigarette, I'm going to put you right back into your belt. And while I'm smoking, I'm going to run this vibrator gently along your member. If you happen to orgasm during that time, I will forgive it. However, you will have to stay in chastity for twice as long next time if you can't behave yourself."

*dreamy sigh*Aarkeybabble : What a lovely chastity keyholder.She's keeping some fellow locked up. That poor, poor, lucky bastard.

Ain't it the truth!

Hi Aarkey:

I can totally relate to this post. Self imposed chastity is very different from having a partner who is actively involved and insists on it. One is red hot. The other seems a bit tepid by comparison. If Her Majesty were really interested in this activity she could lock me up tomorrow. As it stands I voluntarily save my orgasms for her which is kind of similar but feels like a whole different thing.

You ask some probing questions here like : "I wonder just how much of my fantasies do I really want to be real?" and "How much do I need to be happy?" I have asked myself similar questions many times. I have never arrived at any final answers. The answers seem to change depending on where I'm at on any given day.

Sometimes this whole D/s thing seems like a moving target. I try to stay grateful for the little things and remember that it is better to want what I have than to get what I want. My life as a sub is not a perfect fantasy and will probably remain a work in progress. But I have a dominant woman in my life who loves me and that's a pretty good place to start. I try to remain flexible and not get too hung up on the details.

Best of luck with everything my friend. I am routing for you.

@HMP: Thanks for the thoughtful reply. And yes, I did throw out some tough questions - and I'm glad to have my understanding reinforced, in that you didn't necessarily come to final answers yourself.

It's all about the journey, right?

The journey to self discovery is the most important journey we will ever take.

I agree with you and HMP, self imposed chastity is not the same as having a partner who insists, or, at least participates in the process.

As you reflect, may you find peace and satisfaction in knowing who you are.

Thanks Anon for the words of support.

Hehehe, if it was possible i would lock you up in a minute! :D

i'd like to experiment on someone but finding the right someone is very difficult.

cheers
mira

Mira - thanks for that, but with where we live I think that would be a record for long-distance key holding!

And as for finding the right one being difficult, I can only wish you the best. Goodness knows you're not alone in that.

*HUG*
