Chastity and orgasm denial discussion

After roughly nine months of staying in chastity—six of which involved being locked into the same device almost constantly (see the linked community page)—I’ve picked up a few insights I’d like to share with everyone.

1. Having cycled through four or five different devices, I have found my winner. It’s both more comfortable and secure than any other option I’ve tested. It took several attempts and about three months of experience before I reached that conclusion.
2. My walking style has changed a bit. I move with more purpose, slightly slower but with a broader step. My lovely wife/KH remarks that I look like a cowboy who just dismounted from his horse.
3. My cock and balls have “adjusted” to the cage. Initially, I lost some size in both length and width, but things have settled down so now my cage fits perfectly.
4. Standing urination is back on the table. Early on, I had to sit because urine went everywhere. After a few months, it stabilized enough that I can aim accurately into a urinal again.
5. I still occasionally “slip out”—my right testicle slips through the trap, which eventually allows the whole device to pop off. This tends to happen after significant physical exertion or activity. My conclusion is that switching to a PA-type device would be the only way to prevent this entirely. Since neither my wife/KH nor I are keen on piercings (call us traditional), that isn’t really an option for us right now.
6. Going without PIV doesn’t bother either of us much. A few months ago, my lovely wife/KH decided she was done with PIV—and so am I. We have six children, all delivered vaginally. On her best days, she could barely feel me inside her and hadn’t had a PIV orgasm in years. She enjoys pleasure almost nightly via oral/hands/vibrator stimulation, which she loves completely. I get unlocked about once a month, usually permitted to jerk off right in front of her, which gives her plenty of amusement. Sometimes she’ll blow me or give me a hand job too. So I’m quite happy as well. Overall, we’re both very satisfied. Our sexual life had basically disappeared until we stumbled upon chastity and took the leap that it might help. We were and remain VERY vanilla in our everyday lives. No one else around knows about this kink/fetish of ours, whatever you choose to call it. But we love it and have no plans to return.
