I’ve just passed the first week of being locked. Since I didn’t plan this, I wasn’t sure what to expect or how to prepare. I dove in headfirst on the night of September 18th without really knowing what challenges lay ahead. Overall, it’s been a positive week and I wanted to share these initial observations…
-
I purchased my Asylum 4 cage from a local adult shop. Seeing one up close is different than viewing them online. I picked this model for three main reasons: first, it features an open steel design; second, the downward curve makes it less visible under clothes; and third, I can take out the urethra insert to use that opening with my PA to secure the head of my penis in place. Generally, I am satisfied with this choice. The weight is substantial but manageable, likely because I’ve worn steel cockrings for years and have adjusted to it. However, the cage is pressing against a piercing at the base of my shaft, which feels uncomfortable and might be causing irritation, so I will keep an eye on that area. I am enlarging the ball trap ring to see if it creates more space. If it works out, great; otherwise, that piercing may need removal.

Cleaning cages is tougher than I anticipated, particularly while wearing one. I constantly forget that my enclosed member cannot move freely. LOL The various tips on CM have been useful and I am getting the hang of things.

I haven’t fully adjusted to sitting down 100% for urination. With my PA previously, I sometimes did this but adapted enough to stand up when needed. I am unsure if that will be possible with the cage in place.

It feels quite strange knowing you have a penis between your legs, yet when you touch it, all you feel is steel. I miss feeling my actual flesh.

My routine has become very regular. Around 4:30 to 5 am, I get woken up by morning wood. WOW, an erection trapped in the cage is intense and quite uncomfortable. The harder the erection becomes, the more strain and discomfort there are. It isn’t necessarily painful, but you definitely know when you’re locked in. Again, the advice here on how to handle it has been excellent.

I had to travel to Florida this week and managed to take the cage off just before going through TSA security, then put it back on afterward. It took a bit of effort to manage, but I did it successfully. I wore it while swimming with no problems under speedos or thongs. However, I’ve noticed the brass lock that came with the device is beginning to rust internally. Any recommendations for a waterproof replacement lock would be appreciated.

Regarding the emotional side, I am surprisingly content. I don’t feel angry, frustrated, or like ripping it off to reach my genitals. Also, the strong urges I had before being caged—maintaining an erection, masturbating often, and watching porn whenever possible—are mostly gone. I feel very at ease in this restrained state with no wish to be released.
I plan to post another update within a week or so. Thank you for allowing me to share!!!
