Ladies Start A Lucrative Chastity Keyholder Side Gig

By Chaste on Sunday, May 31, 2020

With the explosion in interest in male chastity among everyday guys, now is an excellent time for enterprising ladies to start a lucrative chastity keyholder side gig.

The Market

There are lots of single guys out there who want to start wearing chastity devices, but they don’t have partners to ask to be their keyholders. Many of them are forced to go it alone. But going solo is hard and not very enjoyable for most guys.

The male brain has only a limited ability to say “no” day after day to something as strong as sexual desire. When a guy must depend on willpower alone to battle the fires in his loins, there’s a good chance he won’t last very long before taking the device off and taking things in hand. This situation presents a massive opportunity for women looking for a profitable side hustle to earn extra income.

While I’ve seen more women offering keyholding for-fee services, frankly, I’m amazed far more women aren’t jumping on the opportunity. That’s why I decided to write this post. I have no idea how many women visit Cut To The Chaste, but I’m hopeful I might persuade those who do to consider starting an online keyholding for-fee service.

What Is A Keyholder, Anyway?

Concisely put, a keyholder is a person who consents to possess the key to someone else’s chastity device physically. With a keyholder, chastity is about a guy transferring ownership of his penis to another. Literally. Once you, as a keyholder has told your client to lock his penis inside a chastity device, his penis belongs to you. It becomes your toy and exists solely for your pleasure and amusement.

You can allow your client to access and take out your toy and use it whenever you like. You can also make him lock it safely and securely back into the cage whenever you deem fit. The keyholder decides when or if a client may orgasm or enjoy sexual pleasure. She controls and denies his orgasms. This is a powerful concept and shows how much chastity and chastity play has a psychological component to it.

Eww, Isn’t Chastity Keyholding Sex Work?

Sure, I get it. Not everyone wants to be a sex worker. Not that there is anything wrong with that. But, holding the keys to a guy’s chastity cage long-distance is not sex work. There are sex workers who do it, like professional Dominatrices and Pro Dommes, but they offer a lot of other sexual-related services to go with keyholding. And most only do chastity play face-to-face sessions with their clients.

Did you know there is a specialist security service business called keyholding where a contracted security firm holds a set of keys to your commercial premises in a secure, off-site location to be used in the event of a security breach? Chastity keyholding is actually quite like that.

Being a keyholder is not about sharing intimate photos or having sexy chats with your clients. No cybersex is required. At its essence, it just about taking possession of and holding the keys to a client’s chastity device.

Of course, if you wish, there are plenty of related services you can offer your clients for additional fees. But any way you slice it, being a fee-based chastity keyholder is not sex work. It doesn’t require complying with a bunch of burdensome laws and regulations, and it’s all perfectly legal.

Why Start A Chastity Keyholding Service Side Gig

Maybe you’ve already been wondering how to make money—more money, that is.
Whether you want to get more aggressive with paying off student loans, digging yourself out of credit card debt, or paying for your next vacation, making extra money on the side is a smart strategy for working toward your goals.

There was a time when you could simply get a part-time job. But, in this era of COVID-19, that’s a lot harder to do nowadays. Also, many Americans have lost their full-time jobs thanks to the pandemic. Sadly, some of the jobs are never coming back.

Consequently, more people are getting side gigs, which allow them to set their own hours and rates. With a work from home side hustle, you’re your own boss, can decide what you do, when you do it, and how much you make.

Those individuals who were already working from home when the virus hit seem to have weathered the storm a little better than people who commuted to work every day. Owning a small business and working from home may be the future for a lot of us in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak.

Sure, there are plenty of other things you can choose from if you’re looking for a money-making side gig. But, I think you would have to look long and hard to find anything that comes even close to the small initial investment requirement and the upside growth potential of a chastity keyholder service.

How To Get Started

The good news is you probably already have the basics you need to start an online chastity keyholding service—a laptop, tablet computer, or smartphone. There are a few bells and whistles you can add to the basics, but it is possible to get started as a keyholder with no upfront investment.

Some enterprising ladies create a Twitter page and operate their keyholding service entirely on that platform. It doesn’t cost them a cent. That can work, but don’t expect to attain your full earning potential using only a dedicated Twitter account. I think it’s essential for a keyholder to establish a Twitter presence (separate from your private account), but the most successful services also have a webpage. The best practice is to use Twitter to point to your own website.

Let’s face it. Twitter was designed from the start as a minimalist social media platform. All the character limits Twitter imposes on users throughout the site makes it impossible for the owner of a keyholding service to provide enough information to potential clients to generate much interest. However, with your own website, you have unlimited space to make your service stand out, which will attract more clients.

For a website, you will need a domain name, hosting plan, and a website. Web hosts like Bluehost, the one I use, have hosting plans starting at as little as $3.95 per month. On average, the cost of a domain name is around $15.

You can use WordPress, the most popular and fully functional content management system available to build, launch, and manage a beautiful website, and WordPress is absolutely free. WordPress allows users of all levels of expertise to quickly get a website up and running using drag and drop features. If you would rather not spend money on a website, many keyholding service providers use the free website building and hosting plan offered by a company called Wix.

The Learning Curve

While wearing a male chastity device is a rather straightforward proposition, being a keyholder is a responsibility. A caged client is not only putting his pleasure but also his safety into your hands.

Unless you already know a lot about male chastity, you owe it to potential clients to learn as much as you can about male chastity devices and some of the problems that can arise when a guy wears one before offering the service. Luckily, there is a lot of information on how to be a responsible keyholder available on the Internet.

There are also many books available on the topic written by experienced female keyholders. One of them, Ladies Introduction To Male Chastity, by Jules Scot, is available as an eBook on Amazon. You can read the book free if you’re a Kindle Unlimited subscriber. Also, I have a book on the subject, The Hitchhiker’s Guide To Male Chastity, that should be available in paperback by the time you read this, and that will be released in July as an eBook which will also be free to read by Kindle Unlimited subscribers.

How Much Can You Earn

As a small business owner, you can set your own rates. But, as a rule of thumb, most ladies who provide online keyholding services for between $40 and $50 per week. So, with only ten clients, you could expect to make $400 to $500 per week.

A few women charge less, and some charge more. The longer you operate a service and the more well known you become among male chastity device wearers, the higher the prices you can command.

How You Get Paid

Some online keyholders require payment in cash. Transactions can be conducted using PayPal or smartphone apps like Square Cash. Others accept payment only via digital gift cards, like those available from Amazon. All anyone needs to send you an Amazon gift card from nearly anywhere in the world is your email address. Some women accept cash or gift cards. They leave it up to their clients to choose how they pay. Obviously, as a service provider, you must require payment before providing your services.

Keep It Private

To maintain your privacy, choose a nom de guerre, a pseudonym, for your public presence on websites and social media. Many women use “Goddess” or “Mistress” in front of their assumed business name, which helps potential clients recognize the service you are offering. Also, create an email account to use specifically for your keyholding service for interactions with prospective clients.

How To Find Clients

Clients will find you by Googling search terms like “chastity keyholders” or “chastity keyholder service” if you have a website. They will also find you on social media platforms like Twitter if you maintain a social media presence. If you start a keyholding service or already have one, if you fill in the form on my contact page and let me know, I’ll be happy to list your service and contact details free right here on this site.

Online chastity keyholder services address a growing niche market. If you’re looking for a side gig to earn extra money, you might want to consider starting your own service.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Male Chastity

By Chaste on Friday, May 29, 2020

My labor of love, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Male Chasity, is now in editing. It will be released on Amazon July 14, 2020. In the future I may make the book available on the sites of other online booksellers. But for at least the first six months it will be available exclusively on Amazon so that it can be offered free to those who subscribe to Kindle Unlimited. The book will also be published simultaneously in trade paperback.

I have attempted to put together a comprehensive guide with everything you need to know in one place about male chastity in the 21st century. When I first got involved with chastity, I couldn’t find a book like this. I still can’t. There are books for new keyholders, books for male chastity within the dynamics of full on female led relationships, books on chastity devices, and tons of male chastity erotica. So, I decided to write the kind of book I wish had been available when I was new to chastity.

I have divided The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Male Chastity into two parts. Part 1 is aimed at guys interested in learning more about male chastity who are considering trying it. I have devoted Part 2, to women whose male partners have asked their wives and partners to put them in chastity devices and to become their keyholders.

Want to know more? You can click on the “Chastity Guide” tab on the menu above to go to the book’s page on this website, or you can visit the Amazon product page.

Note: The free preview link below will not show a preview until July 14 since the title is currently on pre-order status.

male chastity device reviews

A269 Bird Hook Cage Device Review

By Chaste on Monday, May 18, 2020

Having found myself with some time this afternoon, I decided to post a review for the device I’ve been wearing the last few days, the A269 Bird Hook Cage Device.

Mostly thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, the frequency of my posting here has dwindled. Other things of higher priorities have consumed my attention. Things like trying to save my retirement accounts from complete destruction, finding new sources for toilet paper, etc. I’m sure you get the drift as I’m sure anyone reading this has their own pandemic war stories to tell. To be fair, I’ve also been spending a lot of time on my writing. I have a slew of books I have to have ready for publication in the fall. So there is that, too. Now, on to the review.

Intro

Don’t get too wrapped up in the terminology here. This device it seems is available from just about everywhere on the planet that sells made in China metal chastity devices. Most suppliers have their own name and model number for it. Some have none at all. But, given its rather distinctive appearance, it’s sort of like porn. Maybe you can’t define it, but you sure as hell know it when you see it.

I’ve been wanting to take this micro-chastity device for a test drive ever since reading Thumper’s review of it on his blog, Denying Thumper. I actually ordered one way back then and have had it for months, but only got around to trying it out this past weekend.

The device is manufactured (at least the one I have) from medical grade stainless steel. The device is available either with or without a plastic urethral tube. The assembled tube has a threaded connection at one end that passes through the urination hole in the nose of the device, and the usual connection on the other end designed for insertion into the urethral opening of your Johnson.

If you want the urethral tube, make sure you read the fine print on the site where you intend to purchase the device. Many of the places I’ve looked at didn’t include it. Where it is offered, it is generally included in the price.

The Bird Hook comes with one solid steel base ring available in the three usual sizes, and an integrated brass “magic lock” with two keys.

Meet the Bird Hook

a269-bird-hook-review — A269 Bird Hook Cage Device

The Bird Hook is another standard ball-trapping device. There is a female receiver welded to the top front of the base ring that accepts the male part of the locking mechanism. Once they have been joined together, the “magic lock” slides from left to right into the channel formed by the two parts. There are also steels pins welded to the cap on either side of the locking device that gets inserted into corresponding drilled holes on the front of the base ring. The purpose of these pins is to provide the necessary gap between the base ring and cage and maybe for some extra stability when the device is locked in place.

As a review, here is the parts list for this medical grade stainless steel device:

Solid stainless steel base ring.

Stainless steel (shower head style) cage with a center urethral opening.

Integrated brass “magic lock” with two keys.

Plastic urethral tube with end fittings (Optional)

Fit

Because it is a micro-cage, to join the cage, which is like a large, cupped stainless steel button, to the base ring, it requires your flaccid penis to “turtle” up inside the body. This is something I first experienced with my Cherry Keeper cage, which works similarly. I find it quite comfortable. Since the cage (or cap as I call it) does little more than cover the head of the penis, I think it’s realistically a one-size-fits-all proposition, and most any guy could wear this device without problems.

The Bird Hook Doing It’s Thing

micro-chastity-device

Comfort

This is seriously one of the most comfortable chastity devices I have ever worn. After three days, and two nights wearing it, I hardly realize I even have it on. It is a hefty piece of steel, yet given the small footprint, you get the satisfying feel of solid steel between your legs without any feeling of heaviness. I absolutely love the low profile, which doesn’t produce a noticeable chastity bump, no matter what you’re wearing.

As you can see in the image of me wearing the device, my urethral opening is perfectly aligned with the urination hole. I don’t know if it was pure luck that happened when I put it on a few days ago or not since I’ve not removed it and put it back on. But, as a result of the alignment, I can stand up and pee like a real boy without spraying the entire toilet. I get a predictable, steady stream whenever I need to urinate. There is a beveled edge on the interior side of the cage where it slips over the head of the penis, and that seems to hold the head in place. This is the reason I believe my urethral opening has remained perfectly aligned since I put the thing on. That begs the question about the usefulness of the urethral tube.

Personally, I’m not a fan of shoving things inside my urethra. Especially in this COVID-19 era, I don’t want to chance an infection right now. Having some experience with penis plugs, I know from experience that you can do everything right and still sometimes end up with an infection. Ordinarily, it’s no big deal, but right now isn’t a great time to make an unnecessary trip to the doctor.

The thing I dislike most about the urethral tube supplied with this device is it comes in separate parts—two detachable stainless steel fittings that you press into the ends of the short length of rubber tubing, and the tubing itself. This is not something that is ever going inside my urethra. However, remote the chance, in the worst-case scenario, the insertion bit could become detached from the hose. I’ve heard a few horror stories where that exact thing happened. In all but one of those stories, an embarrassing trip to the ER was required to have it professionally removed. If I ever get the urge to use a tube with a device, I’ll stick to a solid piece of stainless steel tubing. And, as mentioned earlier, if you get things lined up correctly, the tube seems completely unnecessary.

Security

The device seems as secure as you could reasonably expect from any ball-trapping device worn without a piercing. I suspect there is a Harry Houdini or two out there who could find a way to slip it off while locked. But for most of us who put on a chastity device for its intended purpose and not as an escape attempt challenge, the Bird Hook offers ample security.

Hygiene

In my opinion, this device will likely have to be removed periodically to perform effective cleaning if it is worn for extended periods. The cage (or cap) completely encases the head of the penis, and directing water at the tiny holes in the nose won’t likely come close to allowing for effective cleaning. On the other hand, the “turtled” shaft of the penis resides inside the wearer’s body so that part of things probably won’t require frequent cleaning. I’m picky about hygiene, and regardless of what kind of device I’m wearing, I always take it off weekly for a thorough cleaning, anyway. So, I don’t consider this a shortcoming of the device or any major inconvenience.

Recommendation

For someone who enjoys or would like to experience micro-chastity, I think the Bird Hook is an excellent choice. I really love how it simply makes my Johnson disappear, leaving behind only a shiny stainless steel cap pressed tightly against my testicles. I love the sleek profile, and as mentioned, I find this device exceptionally comfortable to wear, even while jogging.

As I said at the beginning, the device is available from just about every supplier of metal chastity devices, so they aren’t challenging to find. For a made in China chastity cage, I am very impressed with the quality, and they are very inexpensive. I think I got mine from the Wish website, but prices are pretty consistent across all the sites I’ve seen. I paid $10.95 for mine several months ago. Today they range from between $12.95 to $16.95. Amazon has them for $14.95 with free expedited shipping for Prime members.

As always, this review represents my own opinions. I purchased the item reviewed from my own funds. Prices provided were accurate at the time of publication, but may have changed. I hope you find the review useful, and comments are always welcome.
