I got my first cage on Monday. It’s an inexpensive plastic model from China, a knockoff of the Evotion Wearables design. The tube runs a bit long, but for a starter piece it has met and even surpassed what I hoped for.
Issues so far: this thing clamps down hard when you put it on. I’m still figuring out the best way to get it seated with minimal hassle. Sometimes it takes a little time to sort things out. My testicles are somewhat sensitive (I imagine most men are in that regard), so guiding them through the ring can be a bit nerve-wracking, but I’m getting used to it. For the first two days of wear, I used the largest ring included. On day two, one of my balls slipped out, so I switched down to the next size smaller. So far, that’s working well. My boys tend to ride high, which can be a bit uncomfortable given their sensitivity.
What I like: I’ve read plenty of stories about people having trouble with these cages, but it seems I’ve dodged most of those pitfalls so far. From the start, I’ve been able to wear mine overnight without pain or issues. It’s very comfortable once secured. There isn’t much weight to it, though I do notice its presence (perhaps because I’m hyper-aware since it’s new). I can go out wearing it without any problems. Because I prefer looser clothes, the cage doesn’t show through easily. Even though my penis tucks in rather than filling the cage completely, urination hasn’t been a problem, although I do have to sit down.
My Objectives: I lock myself up currently. At this point, I’m not seeking a keyholder or any kind of relationship (check my intro post). When I eventually decide to enter a new relationship, I’ll bring it up early so they know and accept me as I am. Since I masturbate frequently, being locked helps curb that habit. Also, because I carry extra weight, I’m using chastity to help motivate weight loss. I’m still tweaking my goals and frequency; I don’t want to unlock too often. But just like someone on a diet who can’t cut out all treats without falling off the wagon completely, I also don’t want to go too long between releases. Right now, I weigh myself every Saturday (and during the week). This Saturday’s weight must be lower than last week’s. As long as that holds true, I’ll unlock and keep it off until morning. I’m open to advice regarding targets, timeframes, rewards, and punishments. Even though I self-lock, I don’t see a problem with cuckolding because I genuinely enjoy the feeling of being locked up.
I did order a new cage (the Vice Mini) to see if it handles pinching better and fits length-wise more appropriately. It should arrive by next week. When I relock tomorrow, I’ll stay locked until that new device arrives.
Looking forward to seeing where this journey leads.
