Chastity as Machismo

Tweet

I’m a raw male animal, rampant with desire. The world should tremble at my lust.

Er, well, not really: not even at my youthful horniest.

Something I’ve wondered about enforced male chastity is implied virility plays any role in the psychology of its appeal.

That a man’s sexual desire is ( - should be / must be - ) caged, restrained implies great potency. Let me try expressing this differently. That a guy’s libido is a trivial thing of little force isn’t something most men would care to confess. It invokes the social stigma of diminished manhood.

Not that I’ve ever seen any implication of this in F/m orgasm denial. Gay male slaves are more typically desired for their butchness but M/m chastity lore is scarce.

Perhaps no one does. But gender and sexual identity find the damnest ways of expressing themselves.
