Locked-In Love: How Two Weeks in Chastity Can End the Barter System, Renew Courtship and Make a Better Husband.


Book Description

Author Key Barrett started out writing a journal for chastity. He decided that he wanted to be locked up in chastity for seven days in order to better understand the motivation behind chastity and the emotional aspects so he could write about it with greater understanding in both his fiction and nonfiction. So he spoke with his wife and she agreed to let him go seven days in chastity with her holding the key, only unlocking him if he needed it for safety reasons, to make sure everything is working properly, or if she had sexual interest in freeing him. What started as a simple one week journal quickly blossomed into something else entirely. By the third day he was feeling butterflies just when his wife touched his hand. By day four, she noticed he was much more engaged in their household and being an active and proactive partner. What started as a week for him quickly became two weeks for them both to journal. Through chastity and communication, they identified a sexual trade-off that existed in their marriage, a 'barter system' wherein every action he engaged in had an undercurrent of sexual pressure, a literal tat-for-tit. Freed from it through a chastity device, they were able to enjoy each other on a more meaningful and trusting level. And in lowering the quantity of sex, they raised the quality. This book takes what they learned, plus surveys and research derived from male chastity users, and shows couples how they too can end the barter system, increase communication and bring back the courtship phase, butterflies and all. Learn what you can do to improve your marriage, increase intimacy, feel more connected emotionally, and make her daily life easier with a simple, sexy, fun exercise in chastity.




Unlocking the Love-Lock


Book Description

A padlock is a mundane object, designed to fulfil a specific – and secular – purpose. A contemporary custom has given padlocks new significance. This custom is ‘love-locking’, where padlocks are engraved with names and attached to bridges in declaration of romantic commitment. This custom became popular in the 2000s, and its dissemination was rapid, geographically unbound, and highly divisive, with love-locks emerging in locations as diverse as Paris and Taiwan; New York and Seoul; Melbourne and Moscow. This book explores the worldwide popularity of the love-lock as a ritual token of love and commitment by considering its history, symbolism, and heritage.




Love Locked In


Book Description

At thirty, Aristide, Duc de Savigne is quite literally Lord of all he surveys – including the countless women who throw themselves at his feet, only to be trampled by his arrogance and disdain when he grows bored with them. He may be the darling of Paris Society, but in the eyes of family friend, the Cardinal de Rochechant, his shocking behaviour is “defaming the name of Savigne and making it a byword for every outrage, scandal and vice”. It's high time the Cardinal and the Duc’s mother decide that he is to be married, mends his ways and produces an heir to save the family fortune and legacy. Duped into believing that his mother is dying, the Duc agrees to marry whoever the Cardinal finds for him. And, when the beautiful young innocent Syrilla instantly agrees to be bride to a man she has never met, the Cardinal is amazed. Even when she finds herself bride to this embittered man, obsessed with his long-lost love for a murdered Chère amie, Syrilla adores her ‘White Knight’ with unstinting passion… Can it be that her pure unsullied love is the key that frees his long locked-in-heart?

Unlocking the Love-Lock


Book Description

Explores the worldwide popularity of the love-lock as a ritual token of love and commitment by considering its history, symbolism, and heritage. “[T]his is an eminently enjoyable and thorough investigation of a popular phenomenon through the lens of heritage and folk tradition.”—Sara De Nardi, Western Sydney University A padlock is a mundane object, designed to fulfil a specific – and secular – purpose. A contemporary custom has given padlocks new significance. This custom is ‘love-locking’, where padlocks are engraved with names and attached to bridges in declaration of romantic commitment. This custom became popular in the 2000s, and its dissemination was rapid, geographically unbound, and highly divisive, with love-locks emerging in locations as diverse as Paris and Taiwan; New York and Seoul; Melbourne and Moscow. From the introduction: I was distractedly perusing the photo frame aisle, my eyes skimming the generically sentimental stock pictures of happy families smiling at the camera, pretty landscapes, cute pets and couples walking hand-in-hand, when I came across one that jumped out at me.... I recognised the image instantly as a photograph of love-locks: the padlocks that had been appearing en masse on bridges and other public structures on a global scale since the early 2000s. And, having been researching the custom known as lovelocking for about five years at that point, it was with a peculiar sense of pride that I realised love-locks had accomplished the status of a stock image.
