Pros and cons to each cage.

CB6000s

Pros:

Tucks neatly under most clothing. Virtually unnoticeable even in tighter street clothes.

Comfortable. Once the correct ring and pin is selected, you all but forget that it's there.

Cons:

Hygiene is more particular. Areas that are difficult to get to do not clean as easily, and parts that are completely covered do not dry out. This leaves the skin moist all the time and softens the skin to the point that it is easily abraded.

CB-Curve

Pros:

For the average guy, it is much more comfortable due to its size and length. The same applies to ring size and pin length as far as overall comfort.

The more open design of the cage portion allows for more thorough cleaning and drying which helps protect the skin.

Cons:

The biggest drawback to the Curve is also its biggest asset.... Size. While it may be more comfortable to wear along with being easier to maintain cleanliness, it doesn't mask very well under tighter clothes.

Both units lend themselves to what I call "lock knock". Vigorous activities and certain movements can cause the lock to bang against the cage. This noise may be more perceived to the wearer than noticed by others. This can be easily addressed by using one of those elastic bands that ladies use to pull their hair back. Double the band over the cage and pull it up over the lock. No more lock bounce, and not noticeable to the wearer.
The thickness and width of the rings is an unavoidable consequence. Because of the material used (acrylic) the rings have to be considerably larger than the metal counterparts. In my opinion, the ring is the least comfortable part of the whole set up.

Manual transmissions and the CB-6000s

How I have managed to make as many entries as I have so far, and not mention driving is beyond me, but here goes...

There are times when it is down right miserable. Like when your nuts are swollen and nothing you do will relieve the pressure.

Other times, it's not too bad, so long as everything is adjusted right.

Automatics aren't so bad since there is no clutch pedal. Mashing that pedal to the floor, effectively mashes your stones.

Just a little over two weeks straight now.

I changed out the cage yesterday morning, and didn't swap back into the Curve when I got home. Like I have experienced with the other two rings, the first few nights are pretty restless, and by morning, my balls are so swollen that it is uncomfortable to move. Not painful, but very tender. After being up for a while, the pressure tends to bleed off. By the time I get to work, everything should be fine.

I have been up for about an hour and a half, and while everything is still tight, it isn't painful any more. By first break, everything should be loose and comfortable.

Now for the not so pleasant bit. After two weeks without a physical release, be it sex or masturbation, I am experiencing a marked increase in discharge. There is the normal amount of male lubrication (pre-cum) that occurs when a guy is aroused for some time, then there is what I have noticed. Let's just say (for the sake of not being disgusting)... Considerable.

One more thing to mention: a small padlock is by far the most secure way to ensure that everything stays put. However, you may want to keep some things in your front pockets that can rattle around a little, or find some way to silence the lock. It will bang around a bit, and while you may not feel it bang around so much, it will make a little noise. Now in the production environment that I work in, that isn't really all that bad, and I have a bunch of rattley things on my belt, so the little bit of noise that it makes isn't even noticed there. On the other hand, in a quieter environment, such as an office or church, the sound may wind up drawing some unwanted attention. Thus the knick-knacks in your pocket.

Just created this blog and updated it with previous entries made on my phone. I will be going back to edit and clean up the posts later (translation from stock phone application to this didn't translate very well in some cases).

Today marks two full weeks locked in. We have been changing out rings and cages over the last few days, but that is mainly due to trying to "train" everything into the next smallest ring. The third ring in the series is just a little too small for sleeping, but once I am active, the pressures seem to diminish as the morning goes on. By the time I make it to work, everything is about as "normal" as things are going to get.

What we have been doing is: I will go to work with the second largest ring and the 6000s cage. When I get home, I will shower and clean up, then wait for her to get home (on the days she doesn't work from home). Then she will give me the key and permission to remove that set-up and change to the next smaller ring and the Curve. That will stay in place until bedtime, when we swap the ring back out for the larger size up. In the morning, back into the 6000s I go, and off to work. I think it is time to change the cage and ring out to the smaller ring and 6000s for work, and sleep in the larger ring. May just have to do that tomorrow and see how that goes.

Just for reference, here are the ring sizes:

#1 - 2"
#2 - 1 7/8"
#3 - 1 3/4"
#4 - 1 5/8"
#5 - 1 1/2"

I still find it amazing that 1/8th of an inch can make a significant difference in the way everything fits and feels. From the rings to the pins, which also get shorter by 1/8th inch increments with 1 1/4" being the longest, to 1" being the shortest. That 1/8th of an inch can also mean the difference of staying put in the cage, or the boys being able to pull through at very inconvenient times, and most often quite uncomfortably. I had such a moment at work the other morning. Rather aggravating too, since I had had a key for just such a reason for the last few weeks. In case it came off during the work day, I had carried the extra key so that I could take the unit apart and get back into it. I had gone a couple of weeks without a pull through, so I returned the key to my wife so that she may have the full control. That next morning, I pulled.



A little back story to enlighten why and how we have come to this point. I have had interest in chastity for many years. It started off as a female chastity curiosity from something I saw in a touristy museum as a kid. When I got older, I learned that many of the devices found in those museums were generally made up and never really existed in the eras that they were claimed to be from, excepting for the ones designed to be a torture device.

A little more research turned up that the majority of chastity devices were designed not to keep the woman chaste, but to keep the man chaste. This is where the interest went from spark to fire. Suddenly, I find myself reading more and more about the devices and learning how they worked. I knew then that I needed to experience such a device if for nothing more than to feel it. The cost of these items were the most prohibitive part of it all.

My wife was able to come into a CB-Curve through a trade with a friend of hers. Now, my original thought was that it could be a fun toy to be used from time to time to add another facet to our sex life. However, knowing my bride as I do, I also knew that if it didn't become at least semi-permanent for a short period, that it would wind up in the bottom of our toy box and never get used. It would be a tragic waste of money. What I figured would be a week on, week off, week on, week off routine, quickly has become nearly 24/7 with very little break in the off times.

In all honesty, part of me likes the fact that she holds the keys. Another part of me just wants to jerk off once in a while, as well as have sex. Now, I don't have that option, and it is exciting, humbling, and frustrating, all at the same time.

All the more reason to "graduate" to a more permanent device. One of the phrases tossed around in the chastity community is: "If it ain't steel, it ain't real.", meaning that true chastity devices aren't made of leather or acrylic, but are metal and designed to be as inescapable as possible. Personally, I want one of the metal devices more for comfort than for security, and could care less about being part of some "club". Because the metal devices are more durable, the rings can be thinner, which will allow for a more comfortable fit than the acrylic which needs to be thicker for strength.

02 August 2014 CB-6000s Five days in the cage (longest thus far has been 8)and 9 since my last release. The physical pressure that has built up is pretty amazing (especially in the mornings. Much of which I attribute to being a stomach sleeper.). I haven't gone this long without taking matters into my own hands since I was fifteen. I am currently in the third ring of the five ring set, graduating down as things stretch and become loose enough to pull through the cage. I plan to stay on top of it to keep from pulling through as the pain associated with it has grown more intense each time. I can't really speak to my mental or emotional state. I honestly don't see much of a change there. There is the frustration associated with not being able to touch myself. What does seem to help is that so far she hasn't taken too much advantage of teasing and torturing me just yet. I'm looking forward to when she does, but perhaps she is still giving me an opportunity to grow accustomed to the cage before she does. Or maybe it's her that needs to grow accustomed to it?

Tuesday, July 29 2014 CB-6000s Yesterday morning I had an almost knee buckling pull through first thing in the morning. Happened as I was walking into work. For the first few hours, I remained uncaged. Lunchtime found me able to get back into my device, where I remained until I returned home. Last night after my shower, I fitted myself with the next ring size down and the longest pin. After a few minutes, I had almost forgotten that it was on. We'll see how it works out at work today. I have noticed that my mind is a lot quieter when it's on than it is when it isn't. And much more than before we began this journey/experiment.

18 July 2014 CB-6000s Early this week (Sunday or Monday) I noticed that I was getting incredibly itchy. I found it odd because I am very conscious of hygiene. We decided to remove the device to investigate the reason why. This is when I noticed a little bit of irritation on the shaft. A couple of days of rest were in order. Still don't know if the irritation was a reaction to the silicone lubricant, or if the area was just never permitted to dry properly since it had been eight straight days (sweating and showering). The new plan is to remove daily (the 6000s doesn't provide as much circulation as the Curve does) for hygiene purposes and then back in. I still love it when she puts the loc back on. I can't explain the feeling like I can with bondage. When I have been bound (really has been a long time), I feel vulnerable and helpless. Contrary to how that sounds, it is really quite comforting. I am allowed to focus on me, and not be the pointy end of the spear for a while. My unbound personality is the protector. The front line of defense. The one thing that stands between my family and whatever may cause them harm. When she puts the lock back into the cage and clicks it closed there is a feeling of suspense that goes with it. When am I going to be let out for release? Is there going to be a release? How am I going to be allowed to have that release? I find myself craving her touch or touching her more. She has never been a very touchy-feely kind of person, so most intimacy has been initiated by me over the years. I find that I don't look for sex so much as I do just touching her body or her touching mine. I do look forward to her doing something though.

Mon. 7 July 2014 CB-6000S Made an alteration to the setup sometime before the weekend. Had yet another pull through. This one really wasn't pleasant. Went down a size on the ring, and up one on the pin. Starting to really "fit" in the cage now. With the smaller ring, there is almost no movement at all. Honestly, now, I completely forget that it's there most of the time. I have found a couple of rough edges that I will be taking care of tonight. Maybe radius the inside of the ring a little. The edges are rounded, but the ring is wide and flat on the inside and the skin gets a little sticky, especially with the smaller ring.

Thursday, July 3rd 2014

Thurs, July 3 Had a little issue at work on Monday. Both boys slipped through the ring for some reason. Not entirely sure why. Once I got home from work, I showered and attempted to get back into the device. My wife suggested that we reset both timers at the same time. I have one set for duration of time spent in the chastity, and one for time between releases. Coincidentally, the longest time in thus far has been 5 days, with release being over seven. Yesterday while at work, I was very conscious of the device since I was paying very close attention to how things were fitting since the last pull through. She has allowed me a key in order to reapply in the event it is needed, and I have taken a smaller ring just in case, so that I can change out if need be.

Monday, June 30th 2014

Mon, June 30 We decided to remove the chastity for a shooting match I was participating in yesterday. Thought it might be a little difficult to explain if something were to have happened. Fortunately, I am happy to report that I came back from the match the same way I went, and no extra holes. When it came time for bed, we were both so wiped out from the days activities (she had hers, I had mine) that we passed out without reapplying the device. This morning, I woke up late, and didn't have time to. It has been a rather awkward day. Kind of amazing how quickly one can become so accustomed to something that seems so uncomfortable and abnormal, and lost without it. Now I wait. I have come home from work, showered, shaved and trimmed. 6:10pm The opportunity presented itself earlier than expected. The cage was replaced and she closed the lock. Once again giving her the control over my orgasms and erections. Feeling what has become a familiar pressure as I settle back into the cage I can actually say that my mind is coming to rest. Although the cage was off for the last two days, it has been one week since my last orgasm.

Thursday, June 26th 2014

June 26 2014 I thought I had mentioned it previously, but I don't seem to be able to find anything about it, so here goes. Saturday night, we ordered the 6000s and the "Points of Intrigue". Today, they came in. After getting cleaned up from work, I experimented with the points before the smaller cage. I think those things may be more fun than I had previously thought. Now for the cage portion. It is small. Considerably so compared to the Curve. It does require a little more finesse to get in to, but not terribly difficult either. Once on, it will take a few minutes for everything to settle out. The cage diameter is smaller than the other, as well as the length. So, it is tighter in every aspect. So, after my shower and drying off, we immediately put the 6000s to use same configuration as with the Curve (large ring, medium pin). A couple of brief trips into town and the first problem popped up... or I should say out. The second did the same thing when I got home. A setup change was in order. Large ring, 6000s, and the short pin. Thus far, that seems to be the right setup. Now, off to work.

Day 7 June 24 2014 From this point on, I don't suspect that I will be doing a daily update. I figure the acclimation period is pretty much over. I have become relatively comfortable with the device in place. Still some pinching from time to time, but I figure it is to be expected considering that my intimate parts are encased in acrylic. I have done a lot of reading and research from others who have gone before me, and have taken to much of their advice. Some of it I have wound up discarding. For instance : some guys make note of underwear choice. Boxer-briefs being the consensus as to the greatest in comfort and support. I tried this for several days. Personally, I have found going sans to be the best method for me. I understand the principal of the support and keeping things from moving around, but I have found letting the unit hang in a more natural way to be the most comfortable and with the least amount of pinching. Mentally, I haven't seen much in the way of change. Emotionally, nothing is really different. Perhaps as time goes on, and duration between release is increased, these things will change. I must pay attention. I do miss mastubration as a sexual release or as a way to pass time. The last couple of times has been to simply become flaccid in order to get back into the cage. This is just another one of those things that I'm sure will pass with time.

Monday, June 23rd 2014

Day 6 June 23 2014 Let's reset the clock. I am now one full day in... Again. Hopes are that I can manage to be in for as long as she sees fit... I may have mentioned this yesterday, but I have changed the setup slightly. I used the mid length pin when we put it all back together. It was definitely the right choice.

Sunday, June 22nd 2014

Day 5 June 22 2014 This should be a short update. The only thing I can think of worth mentioning for now is a slight change in the configuration. I decided to use a slightly longer locking pin and spacer. A world of difference. Much less pinching and I can imagine a lot less chafing. We'll have to see as the day progresses. Alright, holy SHIT!! Earlier in the day, I sent her a text saying that I wanted to get her home and fuck (we were around a bunch of kids). Well, we did. After the kids went to bed, she had me lick her until she was ready. Then we pounded until I came. She instructed me to clean up and get back into my cage, then finish her off. My jaw is still sore.

Saturday, June 21st 2014

Day 4 June 21 2014 Last night (or more appropriately, really early this morning) ended with a great fan fare. With a little influence from an outside source, she was a little frisky last night, and there was some teasing. A guy friend of hers wanted to see the cage. It's not often I am included in her play. Sometimes, I'm not in the mood when she is "prompted" to include me (usually because I am cranky from a lack of one on one attention that I have been craving for a while), but when I am included, I usually enjoy myself. Last night/this morning was no exception. The play was pretty intense which involved her trying to ride the cage as well as grinding on it with her clit. Even though the cage is to big, I wasn't permitted to achieve a full erection at all. I stayed in kind of a half way between hard and flaccid. Then the call was interrupted. His girlfriend walked in while he was watching the whole thing over video chat. While we were waiting to see if he would come back or not, we continued to experiment. I have read in some places where guys have pulled out of the cage portion to masturbate. Out of pure curiosity, I decided to try. With a little struggle I was able to. That is something that I feel certain would be excruciating if the "Points of Intrigue" had been in place. Now, this is where things get interesting. I was erect... Hard... A little thicker and longer. She allowed me to jerk off in order to be able to get back into my cage sooner. As soon as I touched myself I found out that I was incredibly raw. A combination of the shaving and the jerking she did when I was still caged had rubbed my shaft raw. She allowed me to go without my cage for the night to heal. I went most of the day without the cage for a couple of reasons. One was to heal. The other was to measure for the proper length cage. Once we measured, we went to the CB website and ordered the 6000s and the "Points". Really looking forward to this package to arrive.

Friday, June 20th 2014

Day 3 June 20 2014 I must have slept on it wrong last night, because when I woke up this morning, man!...was the back of my scrotum sore. A wash of the area and a healthy application of silicone lubricant later, and things are feeling MUCH better. A challenge was afforded me last night. If I were able to get her off orally, I would be released long enough to jerk off. Now I know my brides body chemistry pretty well, and considering how close she is to her monthly visit, and how screwy her how her hormones get, I wasn't holding out much hope. I wasn't disappointed. Looks like it might be another week. Did have a related dream last night. She started to tease me a little, then decided that with the device in the way, she was having no fun. She looked at me and said "I'm going to let you out so I can play, your hands must be tied so that you can't touch yourself." After a little bit of play time, she looked me back up and went to bed. Of course, I didn't get to get off at all. Spent roughly 25 minutes out of the device for cleaning and a shave. The moment her fingernails touched that bit of skin to remove the lock was intense. I could feel an erection coming on and had to fight back the urge. In the shower, between the heat of the water, and the direct jets of water hitting an area of my body that hasn't been touched for two days was stimulating to say the least. Soaping up for the shave was also quite arousing. I did avoid excessive messing around in that area, and chose to stick to the task at hand. Once out of my shower it was a quick touch up shave, dry off the device and reapply with the necessary lubrication. As she replaced the lock her fingernails grazed my skin once again. I'm just glad I already had everything together, because there would have been one hell of a fight to get it on after that. As for getting around: bending, crouching, sitting, shifting gears and walking (to some degree) is definitely more measured. Not paying attention to where it (the device, and in turn, your junk) is, can result in a moment of attention getting discomfort. Otherwise, after a couple of hours you almost forget you have it on at all. Mind you, the CB series of chastity devices are acrylic, and therefore rather lightweight, it stands to reason that it could be forgotten if not for the bulk of it all. Really starting to ponder the Jailbird. I have read raving reviews of that unit for some time now. Another thing that I have given some consideration is getting CB's "Points of Intrigue". Little spikey things that work in conjunction with the device to discourage the wearer from attempting to pull out of the cage, or to reinsert later. I have no intention to pull out, but rather interested in experiencing the sensations associated with their employment. As of this moment, I am actually enjoying this whole locked up in chastity thing. Of course, it HAS only been a couple of days, and there hasn't been any play of any sort that may influence a change of heart either. I can only hope that if I do decide to want out, that she be strong willed enough to deny me.

Thursday, June 19th 2014

Day : 2.
June 19 2014

The lock still remains closed. It has been two days since I last masturbated. Normally in a weeks time I will have masturbated about three or four times. This is Thursday, and I have only done it twice this week. No telling when I will again. She has not indicated when she will let me out, or for how long. At this point, I really haven't thought much about it. So far, I haven't experienced any real issues with stimulation and discomfort. Could be due in part with the large size of the cage, and that I don't get a hard on whenever the wind blows. Truth be told, I don't often get erect when giving my wife oral. Not that I'm not turned on by it, because I am. It's more mentally stimulating for me to be in that position. I could honestly stay there for hours and be quite content. One other thing I noticed yesterday, is my choice of underwear was wrong for the environment I work in. Being hot and sweaty is not where you want to wear a spandex based undergarment... Especially when you have to take them down anytime you go to the restroom. Another thing I have learned about lubricating the area : lube up areas that MIGHT become in contact. Nothing really different from yesterday so far, regarding difficulty wearing the cage and ring. A little more information regarding the unit itself : I am using the largest ring with the shortest pin. It is a comfortable set up for everyday wear. I know that the cage is too big, but I have no fear of slipping out, although there are times where I feel like I am. The Curve is the largest of the CB lineup with the 6000s being the smallest. Looking at myself in the Curve, I feel that the 6000s might be too small, but other reports I have heard, many guys feel that is a great setup. I can almost fill the Curve on a regular basis, but there is still a considerable gap. I may choose the 3000 as a compromise. I will have to discuss it with my bride. By day end, I had experienced no unexpected discomfort. We have now completed day two.

Wednesday, June 18th 2014

Day : 1
Wed, June 18th 2014
Device : CB-Curve

I have played with the device for a few days prior to today, and have found no real discomfort when wearing it. Today, however, I feel like is a real test of the device and my stamina while wearing it. Per manufacturers recommendation, I placed the unit on last night with a quality silicone lubricant. My bride closed the lock as we went to bed. Being on my feet all day in a large production facility has proven to be physically exhaustive, but thus far, no other complications. A couple of things to note : the Curve is meant for someone rather large. Unfortunately, I am not one of those people. Coincidentally, there is a lot of movement. I would like to get one of the smaller cages to limit the amount of movement. Prior to leaving for work this morning, I reapplied the silicone lubricant instead of a lotion or cream. Perhaps tonight after my shower I will use lotion. ------- Noon. Sitting down for lunch. A little discomfort on the back of the scrotum. Nothing terrible, but I will make certain to lubricate the area better tomorrow. Not something I am terribly surprised by though as I noticed a little irritation there during my brief experimentation. Bedtime. Thoughts on the day : In general, nothing worse than I had experienced in the brief time I had played with the device. A little pinching and pulling in the areas I had experienced. Now that I expect them, I should be able to take care of that before it happens again.
