There are two varieties of chastity play depending on their duration and affiliation with BDSM; Long-term chastity play and Short-term chastity play. Let us take a look at both variants;

Long-term chastity play is often associated with BDSM relationships. It involves one partner wearing a chastity device for an extended period of time, usually several days, weeks, or even months. During this time, the submissive partner is not allowed to engage in sexual activity or masturbate without the dominant partner's permission. Long-term chastity play can be a powerful way to explore power dynamics and establish trust between partners.

On the other hand, short-term chastity play involves wearing a chastity device for a shorter period of time, usually a few hours or a day. It's a fun and exciting way to spice up your sex life without diving into the deeper waters of BDSM. Short-term chastity play is always a great way to explore your sexuality with your partner. 

Effective_Print on Reddit talks about short-term chastity play;

"What's your short term? A couple hour, a couple days, there are some that a couple weeks would be a short term. Make him put it on in the morning, then go about your day, maybe just a bit sexier than normal while reminding him of what he can't do. If he pleases you, take it off. If he doesn't, make him sleep in it. If he's never done that before it will be an adventure for him."

Lucas Fielding on Quora talks about the effect of chastity play on relationships;

"As a man who wears a chastity cage 24/7 for his wife, I think it’s great. The reason why I think it’s great isn’t so much that I’m happy to know there are other couples practicing male chastity, but rather that I’m happy to know that someone else is being true to who they are and that they’re in a relationship in which they feel free to be open and honest with their partner."

• HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET USED TO WEARING A MALE CHASTITY DEVICE?
  It varies from man to man. It might feel awkward at first, but after a while, ranging from a few hours to a few days, you will become more used to it.
• DOES LONG-TERM CHASTITY PLAY HAVE ANY NEGATIVE LASTING EFFECT?
