I’ve reached Week 2 and my Locktober is officially underway. I only get out for proper grooming, which I suspect will become a Sunday routine. Early in the week, two issues were on my mind…1) the cage was pressing against my piercing, and 2) whether my ball trap ring was too tight.
First off, my piercing wasn’t handling the cage well. It was painful and irritated; the jewelry kept catching on the cage bars, pulling at the piercing until it bled. That wasn’t good. I took the piercing out right away as soon as that happened. The relief was immediate. It has healed up nicely since then and is no longer a bother. I gave up my piercing to stay locked in.
As for the ring size, nighttime erections were really tough on me. I found myself waking up three or four times each night. It became unbearable. I upsized the ring to 2 inches. Although this allowed me to sleep through the night without pain, I’d wake up and find the ring had slipped halfway down my genitals. If it hadn’t been for my PA securing my dick head against the cage, I’m convinced it would have popped off completely. That setup just wouldn’t work long-term. So, I went back to the 1 3/4” ring and started tweaking its position around my sack to see if that helped. Moving the ring forward to push my testicles toward the front created enough slack behind the ring for an erection. It worked perfectly. Now I make this small adjustment every night.
The thing that surprises me most is how easy everything feels now. I really love being in this cage and have no wish to switch it out. There’s no anxiety or frustration about staying locked up. It just feels right, like a natural part of who I am; exactly as it should be. My urges to watch porn and masturbate have dropped significantly too. For the moment, I’m not even worrying about release.
I’m enjoying each day with fresh focus and attitude as I head into Week 3.
