What is Locktober?
Locktober is an annual event celebrated during the month of October, primarily within the BDSM and chastity communities. The concept revolves around the practice of chastity play, where participants (often submissives or those exploring long-term chastity) commit to wearing a chastity device for the entire month.
Key Aspects of Locktober:
-
Chastity Commitment – The main goal is to remain locked in a chastity device (preventing orgasm or sexual release) for all 31 days of October, often under the supervision of a keyholder (a dominant partner or self-imposed).
-
Community Participation – Many people share their experiences online through forums, social media, or fetish communities, using hashtags like #Locktober.
-
Mental & Sexual Discipline – The challenge tests self-control, endurance, and submission, deepening trust in power-exchange dynamics.
-
Variations & Rules – Some participants follow strict "no unlock" rules, while others allow limited releases for hygiene or emergencies. Couples may incorporate teasing, denial, or other BDSM elements.
-
Followed by Other Events – Locktober often kicks off a series of themed months, such as No Nut November (NNN) and Denial December, extending the chastity journey.
Origins:
Locktober started as an informal online challenge in the chastity community and grew into a widely recognized event, promoted by fetish websites, device manufacturers, and influencers.
