Hi all, I’m launching a journal to document my journey into Chastity. Originally started as an experiment on the masculine side, it seems life gets more interesting when you step away from the norm. For me, that means strapping a cage around the penis and spacing out orgasms.
I’ve always enjoyed guided meditations that naturally evolve into erotic hypnosis—I’m sure many of you know what I mean. The idea of chastity caught my attention some time ago; it was thrilling to consider controlling orgasm through abstinence, sometimes even going without a cage for that purpose. Browsing the web revealed there’s actually a substantial market for male Chastity devices. So naturally, when arousal hit, I decided to commit. After a year of “committing” (LOL), I finally bought my first cage.
That purchase was eye-opening regarding cost: it felt like they were saying, “We are expensive!”
Being poorly informed and unsure where to begin, I grabbed an inexpensive device that was barely large enough for my penis. Standing 6’2” (1.87 meters), I always considered myself average in the genital department. But just as women have varying bust sizes, men come in many shapes, girths, and even colors. This first experience taught me that there is no true “baseline.” Slapping a MED or LRG label on something doesn’t guarantee it fits everyone’s Chastity needs.
So I tried again. Reading some poorly written forum posts and websites (some of which seemed to want to crush your testicles for $19.99 a month), I measured up, did the math, and ordered a silicone cage. Since my previous hard plastic one was tight, I thought something stretchy would improve comfort.
WRONG! This new fit was completely off. Not only was it too long, but the base ring was so tight it chafed my scrotal skin until it started to split due to the rubber’s grip. As many men know, the scrotum expands and contracts with temperature changes. The cremaster muscle did its job, causing movement that made my scrotum rather unhappy.
Just as I was losing hope, I spotted a random forum post featuring a picture of a simple cage that looked appealing. It was called the Cherry Keeper. I found the name clever and later learned it’s 3D printed at an affordable price compared to pricier alternatives. Having had two failures, I’m hesitant to spend big until I’m confident in the size. I tracked down the creator here!
After lurking for a month, I decided it was time to make some effort and go for it. I created my account and simply asked for help. The creator responded quickly, helping me understand the sizing numbers. Today, I ordered my device and clicked the lock for the first time.
Let me walk you through this experience—and myself—step by step.
First things first: Shower! A quick shower works well. I already had an erection and felt a bit scared and stressed about the whole idea. The device looked much smaller than the others I’ve tried. [[Image: Exploration.JPG]](the referenced community page) (left to right on my cages)
But, I want this to work! After some playtime and cleaning, I managed to get the base ring on. I chose the oval ring because it felt more organic, and I’m glad I made that choice. Doing it in the shower helped lubricate everything; I didn’t want to slather my scrotum in oil just yet.
I put on the cage, and I can’t stress enough how true this statement is: “You know when it fits because it will just fit.” It fitted perfectly with no discomfort at all.
There’s an app found within this forum that lets you have a “keyholder.” It’s a fun little tool called Chastikey. I set it up and locked myself for anywhere between 2 to 8 hours, letting time pass. My cable lock works wonderfully with the Cherry Keeper, though the device has an add-on feature for padlocks which I still need to order.
After a few hours of minor adjustments, I wore Boxer Briefs to provide support and prevent excessive dangling. This was my first real fit, and while I remain skeptical, it felt right.
I finished my first session feeling excited and aroused. The weight provided a pleasant reminder that wasn’t bothersome. Wearing the ring helped me identify chafe points. If you’re new here reading this (and I did lots of research myself without noticing this before): where the ring meets the scrotum, it rubs and moves just like with my silicone experience. HOWEVER, this time is nothing like that earlier struggle. I took some sandpaper to smooth out the plastic’s surface and applied a bit of coconut oil. Now friction is significantly reduced.
I’m sure I’ll get used to it over time, but one tip repeated constantly was: learn your limits and take it slow. Lube up if you think you need to—even if you don’t!
I am already ready to upgrade to a better plastic version since I’ve found my fit. Not sure if hyperlinks are allowed here or if I can mention the creator directly, but please let me know! I’d love to discuss these details and create a conversation while expanding on my experiences.
While I’m not “submissive” in the traditional sense most people consider, I locked up for myself—to cultivate self-awareness and understand pleasure beyond the simple act. Today was Day 1: my experience and mindset. Perhaps they will evolve or grow as I write more.
Thank you chastitymansion for being classy, respectful, and a great source of good information.:) The next question is: what’s next?
-TheStirringLion Maybe I should change my name to the Locked Lion? LOL
