I was pondering lately the range of reactions I have when sentenced to extended periods in my lockup. These feelings vary from arousal and frustration, through sullen impatience, up to a sense of rebelliousness. But what did I wonder is the correct reaction for a submissive? My takeaway: When faced with punitive extensions of time locked away, a man ought not whine, complain, sulk, or rebel; instead, he should feel and behave as though chastened. The term “Chastened” means subdued, humbled, or restrained through some corrective measure. It carries the idea that one is conscious of their fault, accepts being somewhat in the wrong, and adopts a suitably low-key, apologetic demeanor because of it. The words “chastity,” “chasten,” and “chaste” share a common origin: castus, the Latin term for “pure.” This purity is mainly sexual—a person is chaste who abstains from sex. “Chastise”, deriving from the Latin castigare (similar to “castigate”) shares with the verb “chasten” its original meaning of “to make pure,” specifically through some form of punishment. Today, “chastise” leans more toward physical correction, while “castigate” is usually used for verbal reprimand. So men who select key holding can be described as seeking to correct their own “impurity” (which is their desire for intercourse). The partners ruling over them and imposing these periods are making them pure; if they also engage in corporal correction, that constitutes further chastisement—meaning one should feel chastened. End of etymology lesson!
