"Chaste" means "pure" and has little or nothing to do with orgasm control. But then, humans can fetishize anything, including stuffed animals. I don't mean to sound judgemental and I don't care what kinks people embrace, I'm just concerned about blurring all the lines of our language until words mean nothing.

Tom-There does seem to be a fetish for everything. I've never had anyone ever use the term abstinance on a call before. Must not sound sexy or something.

Many of our callers want to wear modern male chastity devices--like the chastity belt. I think our kinksters are making appropriate use of a term and its layered meanings. “Chastity,” like the vast majority of words in the English language, has multiple meanings, including “abstinence from all sexual intercourse” and including its attributive use with “chastity belt,” which is a belt designed to prevent a woman from having intercourse.

Sera. The meaning of chastity is not having sex for some higher purpose, not Tantra. There's already a "kink" for orgasm control. Call me old-fashioned, but this is not the meaning of "chaste," and if you used the term around anyone outside of kink-land, they'd either laugh at the usage or think it depraved. I don’t agree.

I'm not discussing "chaste," but "chastity." Language itself is not pure, and it is moreover not based on some higher plane in which meaning is handed down; meaning develops from usage. Thus, the OED lists words from their first appearance in English through their connotative mutations in English. Anyone outside of kink-land would think most of what any of our callers talk about depraved. A word’s root and its current connotation are not inexplicably linked.

But they probably wouldn't understand sissies, cum buckets, doggie whores or gimps either. Sera-Agreed. A lot of the things we say would be incomprehensible to the mainstream.
