Did you skip any days during this LOCtober, whether planned or not?
I spent the final stretch of September feeling annoyed (for reasons other than the usual ones) because a minor sore appeared and I knew staying unlocked for the first few weeks of LOCtober was inevitable.
Good news: I’d bought a locking cockring beforehand. I wore it while healing, but didn’t fully lock in until October 5th. This means my current cycle runs through November 5th. That puts me starting NOvember late! Plus, my buddy and I went on an impromptu mountain biking trip over the weekend of the 17th and 18th. There was no safe way to keep the cage on while riding for most of our time out there; we hit trails rated Blue and Black. My wife/KH let me take her key, so I kept it around my neck on a chain throughout the trip. To be honest, when I’m cycling, playing with Mr. Happy is far from my mind. If I leave the cage on during rides, though, I usually end up with some minor skin irritation. After each ride: shower, relock, then dinner and drinks. We did this for Day 2 as well, everything worked out. But I feel like I need to wait until at least November 6th or 7th (maybe extra time for penalty?) before starting NOvember properly. …which means Denial December starts late too. …I’ll likely stay locked into January.
