Flee_market on Reddit speaks on the keyholder/submissive relationship;

"The keyholder/locked person dynamic can vary greatly depending on the people involved. It's different for every instance. In some cases it might just be a friend holding the keys for a couple days, in other cases it could be two people in a committed relationship and the keyholder has complete say over when the unlockings occur, if at all."

● What are the Benefits of Being a Keyholder in a BDSM Relationship?

The benefits of being a keyholder are a lot. But nothing tops your partner being more attentive to your needs. It also means your submissive's penis becomes yours. Depending on how far you want to take things, you may decide to feminise, cuckold or place them in bondage.

● Is it Everyone Locked up in Chastity that is A Submissive?

Being locked doesn't automatically mean one is a submissive, though most people locked in chastity are submissive partners. There are vanilla people as well as even dominant people who sometimes lock up for whatever reason. It's not automatically an expression of submission.

Following these simple, unwritten rules and taking the time to establish a healthy dynamic will ensure that both submissives and keyholders can enjoy a fulfilling BDSM relationship.
