Chastity in vanilla life discussion

Hello everyone. I have a question to share with you all. It has been six months since Mrs.B and I began exploring the Male Chastity lifestyle. During this period, my daily routine has changed significantly.

1. I can no longer Masturbate whenever I want. I need permission from Mrs.B before receiving any release. Usually she says yes, but not always.
2. My Groin stays hairless almost constantly because we both attend Waxing appointments regularly. Previously, I would trim or shave it irregularly. Now I have to wait a full month for even the slightest hint of regrowth. Despite that, I really enjoy the smooth sensation, particularly on my Balls.
3. I got Pierced with a Prince Albert ring and moved up from a Holy Trainer to a custom MCN Contender equipped with a PA hook for absolute security. The PA was my very first piercing Ever. When I first stepped into my new cage, it felt a bit overwhelming realizing this device wasn’t leaving without the key!!! Over these six months Mrs.B has shifted from being nearly resistant to the whole Idea of keeping my (her) penis locked away, to now “sort of” accepting it and enjoying herself. She remains cautious about pushing too far and upsetting me; there have also been disagreements on both sides that resulted in arguments. My Question is: To those more experienced in this lifestyle. For Women who start as Vanilla, do they still feel some hesitation towards going fully into “DOM” mode after being locked for a while? Of course BDSM play relies on consent, and no one should act against their comfort zone; I believe KHs are included in that too IMO. Lockees ought to be patient when handing over control if the KH isn’t ready to take charge all at once. What I’m really asking is: Was Control given up entirely right away or did it happen step by step? I’d love to hear feedback from you gentlemen and ladies.
