Locktober: Month-long chastity challenge

Locktober: Month-long chastity challenge

 

In October 2025 the month-long event Locktober—where participants (often submissives) engage in chastity play, sometimes under the control of a Dominant partner—gained increased visibility. 

Key points:

• The challenge involves wearing a chastity device (cock cage, chastity belt) or abstaining from orgasm, often under a keyholder’s control. 

• According to a major fetish-content platform, chastity was named the “Fetish of the Year” for 2025, with large increases in content and interest. 
  This shows how dominance/submission elements (especially female-led control) are becoming more visible and mainstream-adjacent. For someone interested in femdom culture this signals growing communities, more content, and potentially more negotiation around consent and safety.
