Oxy Shop Monthly Keyholder Service Update

By Chaste on Monday, May 16, 2022

I’ve completed the second week of the Oxy Shop Monthly Keyholder Service trial, and here are some early impressions.

After completing the second week of the Oxy Shop Monthly Keyholder Service, the jury is still out until I have benefited from the full month. But here are a few early impressions.

First, I believe this service fills a valuable niche, as I know there are many guys out there who don’t have anyone to act as their keyholder and want an inexpensive remote keyholding service option. So, I hope I’ll be able to give the service a positive review at the end of the month and feel I can recommend it without reservations. But expect an honest review, just like those I do for chastity devices. So far, there are things about the service I’ve liked and haven’t.

Proof of Lock System

One thing I don’t particularly like about the service is the proof of lock system Oxy Shop keyholder service employs. I mentioned a little about how it works in the previous post. But I’ll restate it here. Clients must send a proof of lock photo daily and proof of lock video every other day. So, fourteen days into it, I have sent heaps of photos and videos.

In and of itself, that may not sound completely unreasonable. And I’ve started to have a little fun with it by getting more creative with the videos and photos hoping it amuses the keyholder. But what I like least about the requirement is the keyholder provides no acknowledgment she has received any of the photos or the videos. So, pretty quickly, it can feel you’re only emailing stuff into a black hole, and no one looks at any of it. That’s not very motivating. In fact, it can feel quite like a “lock and forget” system, a very unsatisfying keyholding arrangement, to say the least.

Of course, I understand a $35 per month service isn’t going to offer daily interaction with the keyholder. But I’ve never had a remote keyholder who didn’t acknowledge receipt of required proof of lock photos.

The more I’ve thought about it, the more I’ve come to believe the photo and video requirement isn’t about preventing cheating. I think it’s about giving chastity clients something to do every day to keep them engaged and to distract them from the lack of any real interaction with the keyholder. And there isn’t much of that. So far, I’ve received three emails from the keyholder. One was a task assignment, and the other two were instructional.

Let’s face it. Give me or any guy a remote keyholding system designed to prevent cheating, and we can think up at least a half dozen ways to defeat it without evening thinking that hard. To be fair, I can’t imagine why anyone would pay for a keyholding service and then cheat, but I’m sure some people do. Maybe it’s only a lack of willpower. Regardless, I don’t see a requirement for seven proof of lock photos and four videos a week being any more effective than a requirement for one photo per week. Does the keyholder need to know immediately if a guy cheated? I don’t think so. So, if she doesn’t find out until a week after the fact, I don’t see that as a big deal. The guy is the one who wasted the opportunity and his money when he cheats. It doesn’t really affect the keyholder, especially with this type of service that’s frankly, quite impersonal.

The Missing Personal Touch

To be fair, I wasn’t expecting loads of contact with the Mistress since the very nominal charge for the service is only $35 per month. And just acknowledging receipt of the photos and videos would require a lot of emails. And as I understand it, the Oxy-Shop has only one Pro-Domme supervising every guy who signs up for their keyholding service. And who knows how many guys that it is. Even if it is only fifty locked guys at any given time, that’s too many for one woman to give personal attention to.

What makes the service feel less than satisfactory is that I have engaged several Pro Dommes as keyholders, and while I’ve paid considerably more for their services than $35 per month, I’m accustomed to a more personalized experience. Someone who hasn’t had a professional as a keyholder previously might find the lack of the personal touch far less problematic.

The Positive

My purpose isn’t to throw shade on the Oxy Shop service but only to share my objective opinions about my experience with it. I’ve told you what I haven’t liked about it, but now I want to shift to the positive.

First, as with every time I’ve ever engaged a pay-to-play keyholder service, the Oxy Shop service accomplishes one thing very well. It has elevated my libido. As accustomed as I’ve grown to self-locking, it never compares to chastity under the control of a keyholder. I’ve only had remote keyholders, so that’s the limit of my experience. But even that is a game-changer.

Something you tend to forget when self-locking is like with any form of chastity, your arousal level remains consistently above whatever may have been your normal baseline before exploring chastity. But that soon becomes your new baseline, and you don’t really notice it. At least, that’s been my experience. So with time, chastity becomes easier because you grow so accustomed to continuously elevated arousal. But once it peaks, the curve flattens, and elevated arousal is just your normal state, and you don’t think about it.

But once you find yourself under the control of a keyholder, that all changes, and you become acutely aware of your arousal. I think it’s because suddenly unlocking if you wanted to is no longer an option. Instead, someone else decides when you can unlock, when you can touch yourself, and when or if you get to orgasm. The Oxy-Shop service accomplishes this as well as any remote keyholding service I’ve used in the past.

All in all, the Oxy-Shop Monthly Keyholder Service doesn’t suck, and the price is very reasonable. There are other services out there where you can send your keys in or buy a lock where they keep the keys for an agreed length of time, pay a keyholding fee, and surrender control of your keys that way. This service definitely beats that kind of an arrangement, hands down. And as said, if you’ve never engaged a Pro-Domme and received a more personal touch, you might find the Oxy-Shop service meets your needs for a keyholding service without breaking the bank.

Update: badassworkroom

Attempts to contact badassworkroom through the company’s website continue to go unanswered. I’d love to order another device from them, but I won’t place an order until they are back online. You probably shouldn’t either.

OXY Shop Monthly Keyholder Service Try Out

By Chaste on Wednesday, May 4, 2022

My one-month Oxy Shop monthly Keyholder service try out has begun...

Did you think I forgot my promise to try out the Oxy Shop Monthly Keyholder Service? Well, if anyone did, I can’t blame you. I purchased one month of the service back in February and had planned to start the trial on March 1. But stuff got in the way. First, I had several chastity devices to wear-test and review. Then, my annual check-up with my doctor came in April. She is a super nice, insanely attractive woman who I like very much and wouldn’t dream of springing the surprise of my male chastity lifestyle on unannounced when it comes time to drop your pants, turn your head, and cough. So, I always unlock for the hour or so I spend at her office. Then I procrastinated a few more days after that, and finally, I emailed the Oxy Shop on May 2 and told them I was ready to start.

Impressive Customer Service from Oxy Shop

I’m trying this remote keyholder partly to satisfy my curiosity about how well it works but also as a service to readers who don’t have a keyholder and might be interested in a month-to-month remote service. Once I complete the month, I’ll post a full review of the service with my honest opinions. But I’ll provide updates as the month progresses when I feel it’s warranted.

Things got off to a great start with my future review in mind when I received a quick response to my emailed request to begin. I emailed Oxy Shop in the late evening on May 2 and received an email from the supervising Mistress on the morning of May 3. I always appreciate good customer service.

How the Oxy Shop Monthly Keyholder Service Begins

In the past, when I’ve used remote keyholder services provided by Pro-Dommes, I’ve always used the plastic numbered locks and sent “proof of lock” images. Some require you to hold up a newspaper to verify the date in the photo. Then, they make unannounced checks by requiring you to send another proof of lock photo from time to time to keep you honest. The Oxy Shop service uses a slightly different system which I’ll explain later.

Frankly, I’m not too fond of the numbered plastic locks. Most of my stainless devices tend to rotate excessively when not secured with the lock provided with them by the manufacturer. And you can’t use them with most devices that use a MagicLock. Something that impressed me immediately about the Oxy Shop service is they give you a free stainless steel key safe and a supply of numbered plastic tags when you sign up for your first month. You insert your key into the safe and secure that with the plastic numbered lock, which leaves you free to use your usual lock on the chastity device.

Now, back to the system, the Oxy Shop Mistress uses for lock verification purposes. In the email I received from the Mistress, she required several things as proof of lock.

The expected image with the chastity device locked on. And she required I write a phrase on a sheet of paper and hold it up while taking the photo. Also, I had to hold up the key safe in the photo, showing the key inside was secured with a plastic numbered lock.
The Mistress also required me to send a video of me locking up. This is the first time I’ve ever had a pro keyholder who required that.

So, the keyholder at Oxy Shop requires a little more at the start than the other professionals I’ve used, but I didn’t find the requirements unreasonable. The only problem was I rarely make videos. While I know how to shoot videos with my iPhone, they are very large files, usually too large to attach to an email. And my simple one-minute video was far too large. So, I had to quickly learn about video compression and source an app to do it with. But, again, I didn’t find it particularly burdensome to make the video and then compress the file so I could attach it to an email reply. But wait, the periodic checks aimed at keeping you from cheating are also different from anything any Pro-Domme has ever required me to do before.

The Periodic Checks

Daily I must submit proof of lock photos while holding up a sheet of paper I’ve written other required phrases on (different each day) along with the key safe to show I haven’t tampered with the plastic numbered lock. And, every other day, I have to submit another video showing I’m still locked securely and that I haven’t tampered with the plastic numbered lock. Okay, it’s not particularly onerous, but that’s a lot of verification. During my thirty days of enforced chastity in February, my Mistress only required one image per week, proving I was still locked securely. And she required no videos.

So, if you consider using the Oxy Shop Monthly Keyholder Service, know that they are serious about preventing any cheating.
They also want control of both keys. But I found only one key fits inside the key safe they supplied. The instruction email from the Mistress said to secure both keys in the safe. So, I broke my spare key in half to render it unusable and included that in the video and the photo and hope that meets the requirement. It should since now the only key I have that opens the lock is secured inside the key safe with a numbered plastic lock.

The Mistress also explained in the instruction email that she “may ask” me for additional evidence I’m still securely locked at any time to prevent cheating. So, yes, they are serious. But I’m okay with all of it since it only serves to make the experience more interesting and I never cheat when locked for a Mistress, anyway.

More Fun Stuff

In addition to the keyholding, the Mistress ended the email by promising “a few” tasks during the month to keep things interesting. I’m curious to see what’s in store and how many teasing tasks she provides. I was under the impression the keyholder only offered one teasing task per month, but “a few” obviously means more than one.

I know I’ve been a little vague on a few points, which was intentional. I don’t feel it’s ethical to share any of the Oxy Shop or the keyholder’s proprietary information related to the keyholder service even when I write the full review. And I know from past experience with Pro-Dommes, that they don’t want you sharing specifics about how they do their business. That’s understandable because they don’t want Betty Lou setting up a pro keyholder service, copying their specific system, and maybe charging less for it. So I intend to respect the rights of Oxy Shop and the Mistress to their proprietary work product by painting with a broad brush rather than publishing detailed instructions I receive. But I will give readers enough broad information to make an informed decision about the service’s usefulness and whether I think it’s worth the cost.

If getting a professional remote keyholder at a very reasonable price is something that interests you, stay tuned for future updates and expect a full review of the Oxy Shop Monthly Keyholder Service the first week of June.

Are You Struggling to Find a Remote Chastity Keyholder? This Might Be Your Solution

By Chaste on Friday, February 18, 2022

I’ve often wondered why some chastity device manufacturer or retailer hasn’t launched a simple, inexpensive remote chastity keyholder service. With growing numbers of single guys sliding into male chastity, it seems a no-brainer way of driving device sales. But, wait. It looks like one company has done just that.

The problem for many single guys interested in practicing male chastity is the difficulty of finding a chastity keyholder. Finding a remote chastity keyholder to enforce your chastity via the internet is an option. But that isn’t always exactly easy to arrange either. And it can be expensive. But one BDSM/sex toy company, Oxy Shop, has stepped up to the plate and now offers a simple, inexpensive chastity keyholding service like the one I’ve always envisioned. Are you struggling to find a remote chastity keyholder? This might be your solution.

Sure You Can Practice Self-Locking Chastity, But...

I’ve spent far more time self-locked than time in chastity with a keyholder. This works for me because the mental and psychological benefits of the male chastity lifestyle are what I find most appealing. And you can gain those benefits just as readily when you self-lock as you do having a keyholder enforcing your chastity. But I know from experience that chastity is far more intense and meaningful on so many levels when someone else holds the key to your locked device.

One reason is that having a keyholder is the only way to experience the control aspect of chastity that so many of us crave. So, whenever I’ve felt my motivation lagging, as a single guy, I’ve always turned to a Pro Domme for keyholding services for a month or three to help get me back on track.

I’ve always believed that having a partner you’re in an intimate relationship with as your keyholder is the best way to get all that male chastity offers. Yet having a pro as a remote chastity keyholder is a close second for men who don’t have a partner. I’ve always been very pleased with the professionals I’ve used. The woman who remotely enforced my chastity during the 2022 month-long version of International Male Chastity Day was one of the best keyholders I’ve had thus far.

The downside of engaging a Pro Domme for keyholding is that their services don’t come cheap. And I’m not arguing that they should. These women are knowledgeable professionals with a set of specialized skills. It must also be said that the services of Pro Dommes are a luxury, and luxuries are typically expensive. So, while I’ve never begrudged paying a professional for her services, not every single chaste male can afford to pay for professional keyholding.

I know Professional Dommes that charge as much as $450 per month for keyholding. But I’ve never paid anything near that amount. With a little homework, you can find professionals willing to hold your keys for $100 per month, and sometimes for less than that. But here we’re talking basic services. No teasing activities are usually involved. They lock you, require periodic proof that you’re staying locked until you complete the agreed-upon period, and that’s it. Yet even $100 per month for basic keyholding might not be in the budget of every guy who wants a keyholder. But what if you could find a Mistress willing to hold your keys for only $35 per month, $95 for three months, or only $200 for six full months? Oxy Shop, a BDSM/sex toy retailer that does business worldwide, offers such a service. It’s done remotely via the internet, and Mistress Elena manages chastity enforcement, a Professional Domme the company has engaged to manage the service.

The Oxy Shop Chastity Keyholder Service

Before delving into the actual service they offer, it bears mentioning why Oxy Shop seems perfectly positioned to offer an online remote chastity keyholder service. As the company says on the website, most adult toy retailers primarily market their products to women. I suppose this makes sense since I’ve seen many surveys that say women are more likely to use sex toys than men. But Oxy Shop is not your average sex toy retailer. According to the website, they focus on products for submissive males—from chastity cages to the most extreme CBT devices. And the company offers a wide range of other products for men beyond that.

I discovered Oxy Shop while looking for a chastity key safe secured with a plastic lock. I’ve acquired several devices that have integral locks instead of padlocks. Unfortunately, they don’t work with plastic locks for remote keyholding, so I needed a way to secure the keys instead so a remote keyholder can feel confident I can’t remove a chastity cage without her knowledge. That’s when I stumbled upon the company’s remote chastity keyholder service.

Using the service is simple. First, you purchase the service here at https://oxy-shop.com/products/monthly-chastity-keyholder-service after selecting your preferred period—one, three, or six months. Next, Oxy Shop posts their chastity keyholder service set to you, including twenty numbered plastic locks and a key container to use with the locks. The set is free with your first paid month of the keyholding service. The key container and plastic locks allow you to use either a device that has an integral lock or a padlock.

Once you receive the chastity keyholder service set, you must email the company at tasks@oxy-shop.com once you are ready to start. Then Mistress Elena enforces and monitors your chastity. She will inform you when to lock yourself and later when to unlock. Mistress Elena will require “proof of lock” images periodically. As a bonus, she will send you a monthly kinky task to perform. All communication is by email.

With only one task per month, there isn’t a lot of teasing provided with the service. But you will experience the control and enjoy the uncertainty of not knowing when your keyholder will set you free or allow you release.

It sounds like a bargain to me. So much so that I’ve already purchased a trial month of the keyholding service for a test drive. I’m waiting for the keyholder service set to arrive and hopefully will be ready to start March 1. At the end of the month, I’ll post a review with the details of my experience.

Disclaimer

I am not an Oxy Shop affiliate and have no connection with the company beyond being a paying customer. Since I haven’t yet tried the online keyholding service, this post is not an endorsement of the service or any recommendation to try it. Once I have tried the service, I’ll post a complete review, including my opinions and recommendations. Like all the chastity devices I review, I purchased the service using my own funds so that readers can feel confident the forthcoming review will represent my honest, unbiased opinions.
