The (highly pervertable but not designed for self-bondage) Kitchen Safe time lock safe

A time lock safe!

The Kitchen Safe is a relatively inexpensive mass market time lock safe.

That is to say, it has a lock controlled by a countdown timer.

Make no mistake. The Kitchen Safe is not designed as a self-bondage key safe.

Frequently Bought Together!

The website, which I won't link to for fear of embarrassing the no-doubt very vanilla company, makes a big thing about how the safe helps with impulse control and mental addiction.

The FAQs are full of questions about whether it will take a game controller and so on. I am certain most of their sales are for people who want to, say, lock up the chocolate cookies until 5pm the next day.

Even so, when Amazon - where I bought mine - shows us frequently bought together, guess what we see?

Because though it has many worthy, normal, vanilla uses, the Kitchen Safe is also the Holy Grail of self bondage and male chastity...

(And if you ended up on my blog because you are worried about your chocolate addiction, and don't feel comfortable with BDSM, then now really is a good time to go elsewhere!)

Cheap mainstream timelock bondage safe

Ha, somebody is going to get rich with this "kitchen safe". I wonder if he realizes...

Interestingly, it stays locked with flat batteries, but you can replace them when it's locked and then the countdown timer continues. That would be a great way of creating a cooling off period before release.

A better option for time lock chastity

If only there was a CB with bio-feedback like in my novel!

If you read my blog, or my femdom self help guides, you'll know I'm a great fan of using timelock software to control your chastity instead of turning your partner into a keyholder.

Sure, if she likes the idea of holding the key, that's different. However, if your chastity is really about you being chaste/neutered-lite, then the key itself is just another responsibility for her.

Better to use timed encryption software to do the job. This isn't as much of a fiddle as it sounds:

How to use encryption software to timelock your chastity belt

Buy a combination padlock and learn how to set the combination without looking.

Each time you enjoy a period of lockup, set the combination, scan it into your PC, then encrypt the image.

Easy? What about the encryption software

Free timed encryption software for chastity belt use

There are several free programs knocking around. The one I've now started using is PictureLoKiT, which is not only free, it's also straightforward to use. (I'd still rather have an actual keysafe, though...)

Time lock safe for timed chastity etc?

If you've read my femdom how-to guide, you'll know that I'm a fan of not giving her the keys (unless she wants them). Turning her into a keyholder shifts the focus from being locked up, to when she will decide to release you. That's a lot of pressure for an inexperienced dominatrix, and rather distracting for you - it's hard to relax into the experience if you are wondering whether she'll suddenly "relent" in the heat of the moment.  Better for her not to have the keys in the first place!

The cheapest way to do this, is using free timlock software. However, that involves a little preparation, including scanning in your padlock combination. A better option would be a time-locked safe.

I've only found one, and until yesterday, I hadn't seen any reviews of it.  It's called CapturedDiscipline, and has a quaint website that earnestly pushes all the possible non-erotic uses :)

It's only USD 99, or a abotu GBP 100 including postage. However,I've no idea how good these guys are, or how reliable.

Does anybody have this? Or, has anybody seen any reviews?

How to timelock yourself in a chastity belt

Sometimes male chastity is about being locked up,  rather than the locking and unlocking.

Sometimes your lady is happy to have a locked up partner, but doesn't want the fuss of managing the keys, or the responsibility of deciding when to unlock you.

Sometimes, she enjoys being in what I've called the Send Only and Shutdown modes.. she wants to ignore your experience completely and not even think about the key.

In the old pre-Internet days, chaste men used to leave the keys at work, or post them to themselves. The downside of this is that you end up locked in for days at a time - there's not much fine control.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a simple timelock? Or a timesafe? Something you could set for, say, 8 hours?

Doesn't exist, or at least not for any price I'd be willing to pay.

The good news is that you don't need a safe or a complex gizmo, just a combination padlock, a  PC and a flatbed scanner.

Setting a new combination on a padlock
You may not realise this, but most combination padlocks enable you set a  new combination. Just turn the U-bar to a particular point, push it in, and then adjust the number barrels. It's pretty easy to do this without actually looking at the padlock.

So now you have a padlock with a combination you don't know. The next problem is to record that combination in such a way that you can encrypt it. For this you will need a flatbed scanner...

Scanning the combination

Flatbed scanners are great for this. Just plonk the padlock, combination down(!), on the glass and scan. Make sure your software doesn't flash up a big image onscreen, otherwise it rather defeats the purpose.
(It's a good idea to practice this stage a few times, to make sure you really are capturing the combination in readable form!)

So, now your combination exists as a file on your computer. All you need is to encrypt it for a few hours or days. Fortunately there is free timelock software for this.

Timelocking your lock combination

Dead easy. Just download and install  PictureLoKiT. It's not very pretty, but with a little fiddling you can learn how to encrypt a file for a set time.
Make sure that your computer has Internet access, so the software can read the timeservers (no, you can't cheat by dicking with the internal clock!). You don't have to leave the computer on - the software catches up on itself whenever you run it.
You can then use the combination padlock to lock your keys aware somewhere secure, for example in a toolchest.

WARNING: Get the padlock installed before triggering the encryption. There's nothing more annoying than - say - dropping the padlock and losing the setting.

All this is harder to explain than do. Once you get the hang of all it, it's quick and easy. Whirr... click... click... CLUNK. "Look honey! No cock!"
