Something I just realized that I have found interesting.

Alright, it has been a week since I last masturbated, and two since we last had sex. I have remained locked up since I jerked off a week ago. Not entirely strange except what seems to happen mentally from day to day.

Day one seems to be that transitional period where you have become accustomed to having access to your dick, and suddenly you don't anymore. There is a period where you tend to tug at it and pull at it. Seems like every move you make gets hung up on clothing, or you find yourself banging it into everything.

Day two is a little less of day one, and day three is even less.

Day four seems to be about the time that it is starting to sink in that your access to your own body is limited. This is primarily true in the evenings and at night when things are settled down. This is when I begin to notice the weight and the gentle pull. This is when I find my hands unconsciously reaching to that area. Of course, the extra attention causes a little arousal which in turn causes pressure within the cage as the penis attempts to get hard. It's that bit that I like the most. The inability to get erect despite any outside stimulus. 

Heading into the following days, the above plays out over and over, again and again. Each time being just a little more pleasantly frustrating. After a while, that too will become common place and eventually come to an end.

Part of the reason for this play coming to an end is, I am the only one showing any interest.

Post initial comments about the new cage.

I have been wearing the unit almost non-stop since Friday evening. I have only taken it off a couple of times to adjust or address an ingrown hair. I did experience a little discomfort on Saturday while running some errands, but I attribute that to acclimation since this one sits differently from the CB series.

I have been doing some research online comparing similar units, and have come to the conclusion that this is the same unit sold by several online and adult stores for five or six times the cost. It is usually called the birdcage chastity. Thus far, I am happy with the purchase, and think that within a few days, I should be turning the keys over to my Queen permanently.

I have also been toying with locks. The one that is supplied with the unit seems rather flimsy, but sits better on the unit. The Master lock that came with the CB is definitely a more solid lock (considering that it is little more than a luggage lock), but rests sideways on the chastity, and tends to snag on clothing.

Last night, I decided to commit to this device full time. I had originally planned to do daily spot checks on myself and the cage, but at the rate that I have been getting used to it, I figured turning over the keys was just the best ideal. She now holds the keys once again. I can only hope that she decides to take interest in it this time. She did allow me to masturbate before my full commitment.

Now, the appropriate timers have been reset.

New cage is here.

Alright, so my last post was regarding what was hopefully to be an upgrade to the CB series cages that I have been wearing. Well, it finally arrived (much earlier than projected).

Initial impressions:

Packaging was simple but effective. Just a plastic mailing envelope with an address label. The address label wasn't terribly impressive. Yes, it got to me, but the return address didn't disguise the general contents. Personally, I am not concerned about it, but I can imagine how some might be a little more than embarrassed.

The contents were well wrapped and protected. The cage, ring and lock were wrapped in tissue paper. That was placed in a black, drawstring bag. All of that was in a plastic bag, then wrapped with plastic padding, and finally shoved into the plastic envelope with shipping label.

The ring portion that I chose is nearly identical in internal diameter as the CB series ring #2. That is what I have been wearing for the most part since we started this several months ago. It has a single post welded to it with a hole for the lock to pass through, and two smaller holes to accept two smaller posts on the cage.

The cage part is slightly longer than the Curve. The only downside to this is the same as it has always been.... I am not exactly endowed enough to warrant a cage this long. However, it seems that unless you are custom ordering, there is a bit of a "one size fits all" mentality.

Construction seems solid, although some of the welds appear marginal, there are no sharp edges or jagged points. Nothing apparent that suggests that it might cut, poke, stab, slice, or otherwise make me bleed.

This finish appears to be uniform.

So far, for thirty five bucks, I'm rather impressed.

Now, to try it on... I took off the Curve (I have been wearing that in order to get used to dealing with the longer cage for about a week or so) and took a shower. Beforehand, I soaked the new unit in alcohol to ensure its cleanliness.

I put the ring portion on (as with any solid cock ring) balls first, then shaft. Centered up the post and proceeded to slip the cage on and locked it into place.

The ring is very comfortable, and the cage is almost unnoticeable. I'm rather surprised that the whole unit isn't heavier. When we think of a metallic object that is roughly the same size and shape as a similar item manufactured from plastic, we assume that the metal version will be heavier. This isn't noticeably heavier, but it is markedly more comfortable.

Given that there is more access to the penis (all things considered), sensation is restored. The CB series units encompass so much of the flesh, and deny sensitivity at all, makes it seem as if there is a void where the penis is. This new cage doesn't prohibit sensations, so being able to touch and feel it, is actually a little alien considering what I haven't been able to feel over the last few months.

Well, with the aid of the Internet and a pair of headphones, I attempted an erection. No luck. So, I guess it works as advertised?

Pulling my penis out is rather easy (it was with the CB series as well), but the point isn't whether you can get out or not. There are devices that are certainly more secure, but definitely they will cost much more.

New cage coming...

Apparently, my skin is rather sensitive. Especially in the area effected by the cage. The CB-6000s doesn't really breathe all that well either. How some guys can say that is a permanent cage for them makes me wonder how.

After about two days in, I start to get a little sensitive at the base of the shaft where it meets the scrotum. Day three brings a itch that I obviously can't reach because of the limited access to that particular area. By day four, the itch turns into a burn that just won't subside. Day five is unbearable. I have to take it off, and I find the skin on the entire length of the shaft to be raw, broken, and bleeding from time to time. This is supposed to be fun and tormentingly torturous, not Crusades Era convert or die torture.

Coconut oil was recommended to me, and it does help immensely with the healing, but doesn't really provide much for long-term use while caged.

Hand lotion worked well for a while, but still only provided for three or four days until I could take no more.

Wet silicone lube was the best for longevity, but even at that, only gave me a few extra days.

We finally decided to take a chance on a steel cage. We understand that it is a Chinese knock off, and don't really expect much out of it quality wise. It is more of an experiment to see if there will be a similar issue.

If this experiment fails, then we have spent $30 and have learned that we have to take small breaks to allow the skin time to recover.

If it is a success, we will likely spend the money and get a high quality unit (I have been looking at the Mature Metal Jailbird). This also means that I could possibly be in the thing forever.

There is a part of me that kind of hopes it doesn't work. I mean, I do like my freedom from time to time. Recently, however, the only real freedom I get is when I am healing. Once the wounds are gone, I promptly throw the cage back on, like a good little boy.

I have had periodic releases in the last couple of months, but I really do miss jerking off. I could use a long, slow session right about now. Don't get me wrong. I love sex with my wife. But there's just times that doing the work yourself is quite fulfilling.
