31 Days of Chastity Meme Day 21: Keys on Ice

The 31 Days of Chastity Meme Day 21 concerns emergency keys. Where and how one might store their emergency key, method of access, and any situations where it has been used.

How do you deal with the need for key access in an emergency? Wax? Ice? Left-Luggage Locker? If you’ve ever had to use your emergency key, write about what happened.

Access to an emergency key is a plan everyone wearing a chastity device should have, whether you have a partner as a keyholder or, like me, have a distance keyholder. Emergencies happen. A partner could be at work or a great distance away when something goes haywire. A remote keyholder might be unreachable. You must have a way to unlock and remove the device if a situation demands it.

I’m familiar with all the methods the prompt mentions for storing an emergency where you could access it in a genuine emergency, but that is inconvenient enough that you won’t feel as tempted to use the key during a moment of weakness. Probably because I have always had remote keyholders, I’ve never used of those methods. That’s because I’ve always used plastic, numbered locks.

In a genuine emergency, I could always destroy the plastic lock and set myself free. It would then be necessary for me to explain why I felt it necessary to destroy the lock, since my keyholders have always recorded the numbers when locking me. That keeps me honest, and I’ve never felt tempted to destroy a lock just because I craved a little relief.

I used to use the plastic locks directly on my devices when I had the type that used the tiny padlocks. But once the “Magic Locks” became popular, that wasn’t an option. So, for a while, I used a “key safe,” a key shaped plastic container I could insert both keys into and then secure them inside with a plastic numbered lock. I then held the secured key safe in any photo frame when taking proof photos my keyholders required so they could see the keys were secure and the lock intact.

After buying my Kink3D Cobra, I purchased the company’s Airlock accessory. This plastic pin type device replaces the integral brass lock, sliding into the lock channel and locking the cage and base ring together. You then secure it in place with a plastic numbered lock, which prevents you from removing the pin without your keyholder’s knowledge and consent. I think it’s the ideal system when you have a remote keyholder because they can easily see whenever they ask for a proof photo or video that you haven’t tampered with the numbered lock. And even with a partner keyholder, it would work just as well. This system renders keys irrelevant and again, in an actual emergency, I could destroy the lock to remove the device.

Another great thing about the Airlock is no metal at all with your device, not even a lock. While I’ve yet to try it, I assume you could pass through metal detectors at airports, government buildings, or concert venue gates without having to remove your device. Others have attested that some metal detectors are sensitive enough to alert on the brass integral lock and that an impromptu “show and tell” ensued for them, along with a conversation with security personnel that most of us aren’t eager to have.

As I’ve shared, my newest acquisition is the Hera 3D-printed chastity device available exclusively from the House of Denial. One of the first things I investigated was whether my Kink3D Airlock would work with it. It doesn’t. The channel design differs just enough that the Airlock won’t go completely into the lock channel. I’ve already asked them if they could fabricate something similar to the Airlock, and a representative told me they are already working on it and hope to have a similar accessory available soon.

So far, I’ve never had an emergency requiring me to unlock. Twice I have had a testicle escape the base ring, but always contacted my keyholder and advised them of the situation before destroying a plastic lock to correct the problem and received permission before cutting the lock.

Wow! We have already arrived at the end of the third week of Locktober 2023, and our meme. Hopefully, you’re still in the game as we have only ten days to go after today. Here is the prompt for 31 Days of Chastity Meme Day 22:

What do you think is important in keeping a Chastity relationship healthy? Would this be any different in a non-Chastity relationship?
