A Dominant partner who controls whether or not their submissive partner can orgasm or receive sexual stimulation, through chastity. Often this is achieved by locking the submissive partner in a chastity belt, chastity cage, and/or chastity plug and 'keeping hold' of the key, implying that the submissive partner's genitals are owned or controlled by them.
Holding the key is symbolic - it’s about owning control, building anticipation, and deepening the connection between partners. Some Keyholders wear the key (as jewelry, for instance) to reinforce their authority and celebrate the bond.
