1. What is a keyholder?

A keyholder is a person that holds the key for someone that's wearing a chastity device. Their exact role and responsibilities can differ per keyholding relationship, but there are some common ideas. This person can be a significant other, friend or even a random person! Most keyholders are dominant themselves, but they are also subs that are keyholders for others. There's a whole range of keyholders to find, but everyone is different in their own kind of way.

2. What does a keyholder do?

First of all, a keyholder holds the key for a lockee. This means they get to decide if and when the chastity device can be taken off. Agreements should be made to be sure that both parties are okay with the amount of time a device stays on. Usually the keyholder does not share the time a device stays on for, this adds to the chastity play as the lockee gets more dependent on the keyholder.

Added to this holding of the key, a keyholder usually decides if and when orgasms are allowed. This can be done by allowing the device to be taken off for an orgasm or it can be done by allowing orgasms while still wearing the device. Usually a lockee would need the permissions from their keyholder before getting an orgasm, but this also depends on specific relationships and agreements between keyholder and lockee.

4. Keyholding sites/apps

There are multiple sites/apps that can provide a keyholding service. This can be done on your own or with your keyholder. These platforms will allow you to track your chastity time, see your to be locked up time and some include some games to influence that time.

Chaster:

Explore a new chastity experience, with custom time-based locks and new adventures made for you. With Chaster, lock yourself in one of hundreds of locks, or create your own custom lock.

Create shared locks and control other users. Change the duration of locks, and create challenges with extensions.

Endless possibilities with lock extensions. Add extensions to your lock to add new features and live the ultimate chastity experience. Shared links, Role, Random Events, and more.

ChastiSafe:

ChastiSafe is an application that acts as a keyholder to your chastity device. ChastiSafe stores and hides the combination that is used to secure your chastity device

Card locks contain a number of cards. The lock opens when a specified number of green cards have been pulled. The amount of green cards required depends on the lock configuration. When keyholders define card locks, they can define the range of each card that may be in the lock at lock loading time.

#Teamlocked:

We are a community of locked subs and their keyholders.

In this app you can share your pics, keep a calendar of your chastity, take on challenges, find keyholders, control your subs, and more!

Emlalock:

EmlaLock requires a few things: a combination lock box (the more digits the better), a camera, and a chastity device. Log in and create a chastity session with all of the settings that you want. When you are ready to start your chastity session, set your lock box to a random combination and take a picture of it without looking at the picture, and then upload it. Lock the keys to your chastity device inside the lock box and set it to a new random combination (again, without looking). After your chastity session is over you will have access to the picture of your combination and be able to get the keys to your chastity device out of the lock box.
