Chastity and orgasm denial discussion

I’m curious to hear from any couples here who are open about their chastity with friends, neighbors, family members, or coworkers, and what the responses have been. I am especially interested in those whose lives resemble ours: a heterosexual pair raising children while working and participating in community life, rather than those embedded in the broader BDSM scene. I’d love to know how it has gone for you all. My wife is starting to drop hints to friends that I stay home doing housework when she heads out, and the prospect of general awareness excites me greatly, though it also brings some fear. Insight from Jay would be appreciated.
