Been at this hobby for a long time, probably over a decade now. And what I’ve finally found as a way to integrate chastity is as a personal way to offer myself self care and love. To accept all the ways i am that are difficult to accept. To provide a tangible signal to myself that i love and care for myself, that i am seen as special and valid.

A gigantic shift in perspective for me was when my therapist, who has a sex positive, psycho-spiritual approach called butt plugs and the like “adult pacifiers .” Omg. What a refreshing take on something that has historically been mostly a kink, or a sexual activity. Now it’s a symbol of self care when I’m navigating troubling waters, or need to feel affirmed, loved. A way to hold myself.

Hope this helps someone out there ❤️🥰
 
Thank you, really nice to hear about personal growth.

I found my interest in kink has surprising led me into research on growth, service and being more emotionally open.

I did try professional therapy for a little while, though didn't discuss kinks. I'm luckily in that one of my over educated wife's many degrees is in Psychology. Submission led me to opening up to her more, which I feel helped enormously with achieving personal balance.
