Chastity and orgasm denial discussion

What brought you to adopt Chastity? What advantages are you gaining from it? Please avoid fantasy-style answers. I want an open exchange of ideas to build understanding, not just stories like those on Literotica. For me, it happened during a business trip when I was browsing the web and somehow (fate or Karma) landed on “Evoling Your Man.” I started reading about Chastity and masturbation. During our first eight years of marriage, I masturbated at least once daily, unless we had intercourse that evening. Reading that article made me realize how selfish I’d been. I promised to share my love with her completely, including everything—especially my orgasms. I began to see that masturbating without her consent or permission dishonored our marriage; it meant I wasn’t being respectful and faithful. I was enjoying pleasure without her agreement, or more importantly, without her knowing. It felt like cheating because I kept it hidden from her, which made me feel ashamed. So I stopped touching myself unless she allowed it. When I got home, I shared my feelings with her and apologized for what I’d been doing. I promised not to touch myself or ejaculate without her permission. She was quite shocked to learn how often I masturbated; she didn’t realize men could do that so frequently. I told her I hadn’t touched myself in over a week and would stay in Mental Chastity until she gave me leave to cum. During lovemaking, I wouldn’t cum unless she granted permission. I explained that my cock no longer belongs solely to me; it is hers. She looked at me strangely but told me to stop being so odd. But I stuck to my word. I definitely had more energy and started doing all the things I promised. Joined a gym to get fit, began cleaning up the yard, and made sure dishes were clean and put away before bed. I’m more engaged in our conversations, feeling like a better husband. She finally talked with me about it further and agreed. When I mentioned Chastity devices, she had me order one from Amazon so we could try that too. A few days later, she told me I’d get a spanking that night. The flogging session followed by the release was intense. It felt different than any time before. Right now, pure willpower and my promise to her keep me in check. I can ask for a release, but it’s up to her to say yes or no; she holds the power. So far so good. I love my wife deeply. She is beautiful and sexy, and I hate the thought of hurting her. For me, Chastity means staying true to our love and sharing everything with her. Mind Body Soul Orgasm. I will remain faithful.
