Sightings - Chastity & FLR in the Mainstream

Slate has an interesting discussion on a boyfriend's request for chastity, domination and pegging in it's May 8 "How to Do It" section at https://slate.com/human-interest/2022/05/too-much-pegging-advice.html.

It is a well-reasoned discussion on these topics with some themes that are common to those voiced here on CM, along with sound comments on relationships in general.

"Sort of mainstream"

Yes, but why did the author have to conflate it with being homosexual?
Chastity isn't particularly associated with being gay, or any gender/orientation.
Doesn't she know that real men eat quiche too!

 

not really a sighting as such, but the new marketing campaign for Asda ( a uk supermarket chain for those not familiar) reminds me of something other than prices! Lol!

 

I must find an excuse to take my wife to Asda. Lol

 

Owned by Walmart, or used to be I believe.

 

Can't wait to see what Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, Aldi and Lidl come up with.

 

Party time. Despite Covid shortages!

 

Has to be chastity?

Question 15: "What percentage of people would try using a chastity device?"

 

Let’s get those numbers up!

 

Netflix’s “How to build a Sex room”, episode 8. Host is showing varios products in a sex shop, also a “cock cage, that it’s supposed to prevent any errections” and the hilarious response of the lady was “Oh no! But I like errections! I wouldn’t want to discourage any errections at our age!” Very
funny. Didn’t do too much good for the chastity cause itself, but still funny.

Didn't know there was a specific thread for "sightings". Thank you.

 

I think most of us feel that the number of couples that would benefit by experimenting with chastity is quite considerable – in any event much much larger than the number currently doing so. I will guess – I don’t know – 20% of the population. Does that seem excessive? There are about 60 million married couples in the US and maybe even more unmarrieds. A conservative estimate might be 100 million couples = 200 million people = 40 million people in chastity. In that world therapists would be very comfortable suggesting chastity to their patients. In that world people would think nothing about talking about their chastity experiences with friends. In that world the moment when the male hands over the combination to his cage would be like an engagement moment. (It might become a "key" part of engagement celebrations.) An analogy might be exercise. Not everybody does it but lots of people do and nobody feels reluctant to talk about it or suggest it.

So: given the size of this huge market what is holding the growth of chastity back? I speculate that it might have something to do with the technique’s association with kink – BDSM, FLR, and the like. What are the implications of that??

 

She could hold my key any day!!!!!

 

Chastity is definitely more popular than people think.

The fact you can get same day / next day delivery of a Chastity cage on Amazon speaks volumes on how many people are trying it.

That says more about the power of amazon than chastity.

 

If people did not order them, they would not stock them in their local wearhouses. That's how they can get items to everyone so quickly. They stock them in the local wearhouses.

 

My question is how does Amazon stock 5 of every last thing made in 'Western Taiwan' in their warehouse?

 

Because they have lots of big warehouses. The real question is why they don't have any stock of the particular item you need to finish a project.
