Introductions discussion

Hi all - I joined this forum to keep learning about male chastity. I’ve spent the last seven months researching it and talking with my long-term girlfriend, though she hasn’t been very comfortable with it until now. We are currently trying out male chastity without a device, which is quite hard for me as you can imagine. Before, when I did it solo, I managed to hold off climaxing for about 7 days at most. With her support and our shared aim, I hope I can last longer so we can see what impact this has on us. We have an open relationship (both ways), which works well since I’m bisexual and she likes giving back the male attention however she wants. Even if we decide that keeping me chaste is right for us, we won’t stop those other activities; we’ll just be a bit more selective about who my partners are because orgasm denial still needs to hold true even when I am allowed out to play. Some might say this doesn’t fit their idea of how male chastity should work, but our bond relies on equality and mutual pleasure, which keeps us close. This is one reason why her accepting this possible lifestyle has been tough; she sees my orgasm as the bigger win and struggles with why I see holding it back as better for both happiness. That’s a first peek. Also, note that I’m not from Rhode Island—I’m just temporarily here. If you’ve lived there, you get it. Cheers, Animi Firmitas
