Introduction
Chastity play sits at the heart of D/s dynamics—an erotic dance of control, trust, and tantalising restraint. By surrendering access to release, submissives deepen their submissive mindset, while Dommes wield a potent tool to extend control and heighten arousal. Let’s explore the psychological allure of chastity, why clients crave delayed gratification, and how Dommes artfully sustain these dynamics over time.

4. The Domme’s Art: Long‑Term Dominance Through Denial
