Locktober on DomBound: how to take part
How to join October's chastity challenge, how scoring works, what medals there are, and how a Dom enters his subs while setting the punishment for missed checks.
Reviewed on
Locktober is October’s chastity challenge: hand over the key and last the month. On DomBound it has its own section, its own ranking and its own medals.
Joining
Go to Locktober from your panel (during October you will also see the banner «Locktober: the month of chastity») and press «Join Locktober». You will see «You are in» and the number of participants.
If you have no chastity running, start with starting a period: with no time under lock there is nothing to score.
How scoring works
Three things add up:
- Time under lock — the days you accumulate during the challenge.
- Checks — the proof you submit.
- Validations — the backing those checks get from the community.
In other words: being there is not enough; you have to prove it and have others endorse it. It is all visible in the ranking, with separate Subs and Doms tabs.
Medals
By accumulated endurance:
- 1 week
- 2 weeks
- 3 weeks
- Full Locktober
If you are a Dom: entering your subs
Under «Enter my subs» you can sign up those who have authorised your control:
- Press «Enter» on the sub you want.
- Set the punishment for missed checks: for example, extend the chastity by X days per miss, applied every N misses.
- Pick an existing punishment template or create one right there.
- Confirm with «Enter».
The sub is entered and his checks start counting — for him and for your leaderboard.
Requests from your circle · free in October
During Locktober, anyone in your circle can request a check, not just your Dom. One request per person per day, and none after 22:00 your local time.
Outside October this is DomBound+; during Locktober it is free for everyone, because egging each other on is half the point of the month. Validating other people’s checks is free all year round.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to be locked all October to take part?
No. You score on time accumulated, checks submitted and validations received. Lasting the whole month earns the top medal, but scoring starts on day one.
When can I join?
While the challenge is open. Joining later means less accumulated time, not being left out.
Do Doms appear in the ranking too?
Yes, there are two leaderboards: subs and Doms. The Doms' one reflects the control exercised over their entered subs.
If I use emergency release, do I lose Locktober?
It costs you no reputation. What stops is the time you were accumulating, because you are no longer locked. Safety comes before the leaderboard.
