What is Keyholder?
By Mara Vale · Reviewed by Elena Ward · Last updated
A keyholder is the dominant who holds the key, literally or symbolically, to a submissive’s chastity and decides when it ends.
Keyholder in context
Keyholding turns release into a privilege the submissive must earn. The keyholder sets rules, schedules check-ins and decides the terms of any unlock.
With an AI keyholder the key is symbolic: she keeps track of the arrangement in the story and reminds you who controls it.
