    Take away the chastity for a moment, and focus only on the essence of a D/s relationship. It can be animated by sexual energy, of course. Or it can be purely about who has the authority over all things, sexual or not.

    The second is actually more all-encompassing.

    Actually, she's been pretty good about opening up topics for discussion.

    ABSOLUTELY correct! A vitally important part of chastity as most of us do it here is the interaction between 2 people. Both participants must "get it" and derive at least some satisfaction(maybe even just the satisfaction of knowing your partner is happy) from it for it to truly work. I know, I know, there are those here who self-lock, and I fully believe in "to each his own", but I admit I don't understand that form of chastity.

    And, I while I dont feel that what 2 people do together consensually can be considered pornography, I do believe the act of displaying that activity for others to see CAN be considered porn.

    And this is exactly why I got turned off by the whole thing on fetlife and other sites. I thought I was alone feeling like this so thank you L-u-c-y! I like this back to basic approach. Im very tired of all of the demands on us women. I agre, these days being in a FLR and being a keyholder is boring apparentl. If you don't get f*d by bulls every day of the week and abuse your subs then you are not a good keyholder apparently. I think you made a wise decision.

    As someone who has been responsible for some of the uploaded GIFs I apologise for my indiscretions and any offence caused. I know I certainly had no intention of upsetting anyone.

    PS also sorry for any trauma caused to moderators (0:

    I told myself I'd stay out of this, but one thing bothered me. First off, let me state that I didn't see the need for so much discussion - Miss Lucy's site; Miss Lucy's rules. Simple enough.

    I think the thing I didn't like was the way some males spoke to the women at certain points in the thread. Given the charter as laid out by Miss Lucy is Male (I think) Chastity and FLR; I believe males need to make their points carefully and with respect. I didn't feel that was always the case.

    I'm always in favor of free speech, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't have consequences. I wonder if males could be put in "time out" and have posting privileges revoked for a short period of time for being disrespectful? Ok, now let me go put on my asbestos pajamas so the flaming can start! :)

    A good point.

    A couple of them were very close to that happening.

    I fully agree with you.

    It's sad that people forget that the words on the screen are from another person. So when we disagree we are engaging with them on some level. Ideally it's via a respectful conversation. Too often it's via nastiness and other not so kind things.

    We're very fortunate in that such things aren't a regular occurrence here. Yes folks sometimes get excited and go too far (IMHO) but as Ms Lucy said thankfully it wasn't over the line.

    So with that said, maybe people will see this and can remember to be respectful. Disagree all you want, make a case, whatever. But follow the rules. And if you don't know what the rules are ASK BEFORE MAKING AN ASS OF YOURSELF.

    I'm not sure if that's clear enough, but I hope Ms Lucy approves as it's the simplest way I can think of to remind people of the basics of forum etiquette.

    Hey,

    I have skimmed the preceding discussion and understand that the gallery is not meant to become the centre of the forum and therefore the number of pictures per user is limited. However, I don't see my pictures as porn, but of course I can't exclude that other users find them "stimulating";-)

    I will soon have reached the number of pictures available to me in the gallery and since I enjoy producing more pictures, I am looking for a way to continue. In the past I have already deleted one or two pictures to make room again, but unfortunately you don't just delete the picture itself, but also the likes and especially the comments and compliments from other users. This is not easy for me, especially with the compliments I receive.
    I regularly (about one picture per week) publish pictures here on Chastity Mansion that depict imaginary scenarios from a sissy/CD/fetish universe:
    https://www.chastitymansion.com/forums/index.php?gallery/authors/castitas.34678/

    The pictures are usually not meant to be taken completely seriously, which becomes clear at the latest through the texts in the picture description. I think you can tell that they are not spontaneous selfies, but are created with some effort. As I said, I don't understand them as porn, but rather as a visualisation of fetish fantasies. So they are really nothing other than the fantasies formulated in many text postings. I find them to be just right in their nature here and that is why they are published exclusively here on Chastity Mansion so far.

    I understand the concerns about not letting the forum become a porn portal and accept the resulting restrictions. My question is therefore not a criticism of this policy but primarily of a technical nature:
    What possibilities would there be to give users here exclusive access to more pictures? For example, I have an account with an external image hoster. I could upload the pictures there and simply link them here, e.g. in the "Journals and Blogs" section. However, they would then no longer be in the gallery but, for example, in a blog. In addition, I would then only be able to arrange them chronologically, and it would not be possible to assign them to a theme (as in the album "The Burglar", for example).

    Another alternative would be to create a second account, but I don't think that would be in the interest of the forum operators ;-)

    What other technical possibilities would there be for an (external) picture gallery that would be easily accessible exclusively for CM users, perhaps offer some kind of preview in the form of thumbnails and allow users to make comments? All ideas are welcome.

    Kind regards
    Castitas

    castitas - thank you for raising this. i must admit that i inadvertently overlooked the restriction on the number of photos members can post, however, it is perfectly reasonable given the nature and intent of the site. My apologies to those who created and maintain the site, i did not intend to misuse it. While Goddess and i get a thrill from all the pictures, it was never O/our intent to treat this as a porn site. However, i can see how some would view O/our photos as pornish. W/we certainly get a thrill out of all of the photos but never though of it as a porn site.

    One of the amazing things about what we all have here is that everyone supports and accepts each other. Sure there are disagreements, but that will happen anytime people from all over the world come together. The important thing is that, at the end of the day, we a support each other.

    There are very few places in the world, online or IRL, that i feel safe to be me. This is one of them. Goddess is confident and powerful, i am not. i draw my strength and confidence from Goddess and Her friends. My service to Her gives me strength, confidence and meaning. Places like this, and the comments and likes Goddess and i receive on O/our discussions and photos , further Her efforts by showing me that i am not alone in my interests and while society in general may be shocked by, and not accepting of, someone like me, there are people - beside Goddess who do. (Wow, run on sentence much?) Goddess and Her friends are enough to be sure. If that was all there was i would be perfectly happy. However, a community like this is a great place for a person like me who is, at heart, afraid and not comfortable with himself, to embrace and be embraced by others. i love the thrill and risk of public play, and love the Orders Goddess gives, especially if they make me uncomfortable, but i can only bring myself to put myself out there when “forced” by Goddess. This community, including the gallery, helps change that.

    This is a long winded post but i really just wanted to apologize to everyone if i have been misusing the site. It was not my intention. If there is a way to continue sharing pictures with this community all the better since that is so cathartic for me (and admittedly very exciting!).​
