CB-X Chastity kits

Forget Hallmark Holidays. National Kink Day is here on October 6! This year feels especially relevant for CB-X and our community because of a major reveal about kinky preferences across the United States. Earlier this year, Clips4Sale released its 2025 Fetish of the Year report. If you’re new to the name, Clips4Sale is an adult clip marketplace where independent creators sell kink and fetish content to audiences worldwide. They’ve been a major pay site in the industry since 2003, long before free tube sites like PornHub reshaped adult video consumption.  Side note! Before we dive into the C4S insights, let’s clarify kink v. fetish terminology. People often use “kink” and “fetish” like they mean the same thing, but they’re different. In this blog, we will stick to “fetish” since that’s the word Clips4Sale used in their findings. What’s the Difference Between a Kink and a Fetish? A Kinkster Explains “A kink is a turn on that is typically ‘out of the ordinary’ that enhances sexual pleasure. A fetish turns you on regardless of context. I have a kink for feet because, for me, pretty feet make a girl hotter. I don't have a fetish because I don't get turned on just by seeing feet and I don't ever find women attractive solely because they have pretty feet (pun intended).” (All semantics aside, our kink = transforming numbers into narratives. If data makes you horny, too, browse a huge catalog of various PornHub Insights or C4S’ recap of how online sex has changed the world over 20 years.) From Niche to Numero Uno If you guessed chastity was the big winner, give yourself a gold star! Out of all the leather, latex, feet, and rope devotees, chastity snapped the lock as the Top Fetish of 2025! For context, PornHub Insights has shown Hentai holding the crown as the most-searched keyword in recent years. However, as an adult content paysite (not a tube site), C4S’s data offers a different lens by highlighting the p0rn clips that people are actually buying. And that’s where things get interesting. At first glance, the results might surprise people outside of the kink community. Chastity has been considered a deep-cut kink, tucked away in the corners of online forums and sex toy shops for a long time.  Chastity emerging from the dungeon and into the daylight? We love to see it. Worried chastity might lose its edge because it’s trending upward? Nah. It’s less like a bandwagon and more like your favorite indie band finally getting the recognition they deserve.  Silver & Bronze The two runners-up: cuckold and gooning. Cuckold play continues to draw attention for the way it blends voyeurism and power dynamics, which resonate across mainstream porn and personal relationships. Gooning has exploded in popularity over the last few years, moving from niche forums into the larger kink conversation. Its focus on edging, trance-like states, and obsession with porn consumption has created a subculture all its own, reflecting how far people are willing to push the boundaries of arousal and control. The United States of Fetish Clips4Sale also compiled the highest-searched fetishes on their porn clips across the U.S. in its "Fetish Map of the United States". We see you, Nebraska!  More Kinky Data: Clips4Sale’s 2025 “United States of Fetish” Map - a separate report that revealed the most searched-for fetishes in each U.S. state. Variety is...the Whole Point What we learned from the findings: more people are leaning into the dynamic power exchange of lock-and-key play. A chastity device is a symbol; chastity play is an act of surrender, discipline, and erotic curiosity all rolled into one. And when you think about it like that, it’s no wonder chastity is having a mainstream moment.  Celebrating National Kink Day means shining a light on the spectrum of interests that make up kink culture. Some gravitate toward high-gloss latex and rope suspensions, others to roleplay or spanking. And now we know there’s a growing wave of people who’d rather click a lock shut and see what happens when orgasm isn’t the end goal.  Curiosity wins, discovery wins, acceptance wins.

T-minus one day until Locktober, the 31-day chastity challenge where self-control meets creativity. Many chastity wearers report that the first half of the month is about finding your rhythm, pushing limits without burning out, and learning how to channel frustration into focus. To keep you locked in (literally), consider this blog your Locktober Week 1 + 2 survival toolkit: 14 daily Locktober chastity games, 5 affirmations to repeat when your resolve weakens, and 5 distraction strategies for when your brain is screaming for the key. Three things to know about the CB-X Locktober Challenge: If this is your first Locktober, these beginner-friendly chastity games work whether you're locked for a few hours, a few days, or the full month. Our focus for Locktober 2025 is mindfulness. All chastity activities are designed to make you more aware of the cage during your day-to-day routine, building mental discipline and intentionality. The goal is to connect your Locktober practice to bigger themes like patience, control, and delayed gratification.  A Keyholder or partner isn’t required to participate; all activities can be modified to align with your lifestyle. If humiliation is the name of your game, grab the CB-X Locktober Challenge Workbook for a full 31-day guided experience with daily prompts, reflection exercises, and accountability tracking. 14 Chastity Activities for Locktober Weeks 1-2 Week 1 The Stopwatch Sit: Stay locked on a hard chair for 20 minutes without shifting. Discomfort builds mental endurance, and teaches you to sit with frustration instead of fixing it. Hands Off Challenge: Watch 10 minutes of your favorite X-rated clip of choice. Then go take a cold shower. No touching. Controlled exposure to temptation strengthens resistance and proves you can handle arousal without acting on it. Mirror Check: Spend 5 minutes caged in front of a mirror repeating: "I'm stronger than my urges." Verbal affirmations rewire your internal dialogue and reinforce self-discipline. Ice Cube Hold: Hold an ice cube in each hand until they melt completely. Cold focus redirects blood flow and mental energy. Cage Inspection Ritual: Examine your chastity device for fit, hygiene, and comfort. Clinical assessment mode might extinguish any sexual charge. Chastity Workout: 20 squats and 20 push-ups while locked. Movement forces your brain to focus on form and breathing rather than desperation. The Timer Test: Lie perfectly still for 10 minutes with no lower-body touching. Stillness training amplifies awareness of your body's signals without giving in to them. Week 2 Key in the Freezer: Freeze your key in a block of ice. You can access it if truly needed, but not impulsively. Timed Edging (Mental Only): Set a timer for 5 minutes. Think about whatever turns you on most, but don't touch anything. Train your mind to handle arousal without relief. Cold Shower Challenge: Take a 3-minute cold shower while locked. The shock can reset your nervous system and kill urgency quickly. Keyholder Letter: Write a detailed letter to your Keyholder (real or imaginary) explaining why you're doing this challenge. Articulating your "why" will strengthen your commitment. Locked Yoga Session: Follow a 15-minute yoga video while locked. Stretching, breathing, and focus can help override a horny brain. Progress Journal Entry: Write 3 things you've noticed about your self-control today. Document the mental shift, not just the physical restriction. Public Outing: Run a normal errand (grocery store, coffee shop) while locked. The secret adds psychological intensity without anyone knowing. Bonus points if you wear the tightest material you’ve got. 5 Locktober Chastity Affirmations I am stronger than temporary discomfort. Challenging moments help me discover resilience. I can sit with uncomfortable feelings without escape. My commitment matters more than a passing urge. I’ve handled worse before, and I can handle this now. Locktober Distraction Toolkit: 5 Tips Move your body. Exercise redirects energy. Cold shower reset. Five minutes under cold water ends the bargaining spiral. Journaling. Write down the frustration—naming it weakens it. Swap cravings. Redirect horny energy into chores or tasks. Play with toys: Not those kinds of toys. A puzzle or game keeps your hands busy and mind off your cage. A little prize for our Locktober curious friends and dedicated participants, use code OCTLCKTOBER1 at checkout for a special discount. The Long Game Keep in mind, these challenges aren’t impossible! The first two weeks of Locktober are setting the foundation.. They’re designed to keep you locked, engaged, and mindful while your cage does its work. Stay disciplined, use the toolkit, and repeat your affirmations as needed. The payoff will be worth it on November 1.

Two kinky challenges, one question: which will break you first?  Locktober and No Nut November both demand commitment, but in two very different ways. One relies on a chastity device, self-discipline and/or a Keyholder’s authority. The other is fueled entirely by self-control; no chastity cage required. Think of Locktober and No Nut November as tools versus willpower, physical versus mental.  We've seen No Nut November get dragged by internet critics over the years, but that’s not our style. We aren’t here to dim the spark of curiosity, or 💩 on anyone's personal preferences. Our opinion: Self-discipline in one area of your life can build willpower everywhere else: work, fitness goals, relationships, and/or general goal setting. Even if these challenges sound ridiculous, they might open your eyes to new perspectives on arousal, control, and release. #DontKnockItBeforeYouLockIt 🔒 Why do Locktober and No Nut November sit back-to-back on the calendar? Some might say it’s the work of a secret cabal of Dom/mes plotting two months of collective torment. Others might shrug and say, ‘I wouldn’t know, I’m not a masochist.’ Whatever the reason, one truth stands: subs live for being teased and tested.  If you’re curious about Locktober Vs. No Nut November, our guide breaks down the biggest differences, hurdles, and payoffs of each. What is Locktober?  31 days locked in a chastity device for any duration of time every day Often requires advanced planning and an accountability component (Keyholder, habit tracker, lockbox, etc.) Physical enforcement does the heavy lifting Niche challenge within a fiercely dedicated chastity community Chastity orgasms permitted (case-by-case basis; depends on the individual) What is No Nut November?  30 days without orgasm, pure honor system No chastity cage needed Relies entirely on mental self-discipline High-volume mainstream participation  Completely self-regulated, no accountability component The Real Difference: Where Each Challenge Hits Hardest Locktober’s Biggest Hurdles: Physical adjustment: chafing, sleep, and comfort take time Daily logistics: the gym, travel, or tight clothing become complicated Privacy: explaining your “accessory” can be tricky if you’re traveling. Or, in various scenarios where your package might be at risk of exposure. Cost: $80-$200 for a quality male chastity cage if you’re new Hygiene: cages require daily cleaning and care (not limited to Locktober!) No Nut November’s Toughest Tests: Constant temptation without any barrier Every single moment demands active choice No accountability, no verification, just you Requires stronger mental discipline than most expect Easy to rationalize “just once” and fall off Our verdict: For chastity men, Locktober is physically harder, while No Nut November tests mental discipline to the max. Which Challenge Is Right for You? Choose Locktober if you... Want external enforcement through a device Prefer accountability from a Keyholder, built-in community, or lockbox Struggle to rely on willpower alone Like the idea of gamifying your chastity experience Enjoy the mix of physical and psychological play Are interested in unlocking more intense orgasms Choose No Nut November if you... Want to push the limits of pure self-discipline Need privacy and zero equipment Prefer a free and accessible challenge Thrive on internal motivation Would benefit from practical strategies for handling unwanted arousal  Both challenges push different limits. Locktober leans into physical endurance, and No Nut November challenges mental fortitude. The way we see it, the "tougher" challenge is simply the one that targets your biggest weakness. Instead of picking the “easier” challenge, why not pick the one that scares you a little? This is where real growth happens.  Have you tried either challenge? Which one tested you more?
