Hi guys,
For many months now, we have been regaled by @goldenboy’s prolific blogs entries on Aneros, sex, jocks and cups, erotic dreams and waking fantasies, semen retention (SR), and male chastity which he lives out by wearing a jock and cup to bed. He calls athletic cups, “chastity” cups, a concept I find intriguing.
I have been pondering and reflecting on male chastity for many months now. It seems that there are least two types of male chastity: (1) religious or ascetic chastity, and (2) erotic chastity for the purpose of enhancing a guy’s sexuality either individually or as one in a marital relationship with a wife.
When I think of male chastity in a religious or ascetic sense, I think of the monastic life either in a Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox sense. In the Roman Catholic Church, you have religious orders and the clergy. Men joining such have swear three vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. It was believed for many centuries by that church that masturbation and conjugal sexual relations prevented men from living out a devoted life to God and church.
In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or Mormon church, married couples have to swear to the Law of Chastity, thus allowing a life of utter devotion to marriage (one man, one woman) and the LDS Church.
