Four weeks in chastity

This marks a full four weeks since I first locked on my Jailhouse chastity device (with breaks on Saturday nights). I have also been wearing my collar for just under three weeks continuously plus time before that.

The chastity device is still comfortable most of the time. I am still aware of it some of the time but I've worn it so long that I am more aware when I am not wearing it.

The collar is a different matter. Part of the time it is comfortable. Other times it hurts, especially when worn under a suit or coat. It is tempting to take it off. I am seriously considering gluing the bolt in or otherwise making it hard to get out to reduce the temptation.

Two weeks

Today marks two weeks since I locked on the chastity device. Since then I've had two breaks. The first was Saturday night for less than eight hours. I locked myself up again when I got up Sunday.

I had to put it on twice. I'm not sure that I used the stocking correctly to get in and I noticed that one testicle was free. At the time I assumed that I hadn't put it on correctly.

Thursday night I had a testicle slip free. It wasn't painful. It just slipped out. I took the whole thing off for a couple of hours then put it back on using a smaller ring - the middle-sized one.

I had been planning on trying the middle ring to stop any possibility of pull-out but I was planning on waiting until the weekend so that I would have access to the key in case of problems. I decided to take a chance, anyway.

It all worked out. I've been wearing the middle ring for more than two days with no irritation. In fact, it is more comfortable. Also, there is no chance of pull-out. It is too tight to get a finger in.

I was in such a hurry to put it on before that I hadn't really checked out the construction. At first it appears to be a series of rings welded together. Instead I think it is a series of "C"s

braed to a flat plate. There is some copper exposed on the inside (I can tell by the look and smell). I will keep an eye on my penis to be sure that the skin isn't turning green like happens with a copper ring. It that happens I will have to coat the copper with something.

Another Day

Another day in the Jail House chastity device and still no problems. After two and a half days I'm prepared to declare it a success.

I finally tried peeing while standing up. No problem as long as no one is nearby. It would be obvious to anyone near that I had a lot of metal on my penis.

The big openings mean that peeing is not likely to splatter although it can come out at strange angles if you aren't careful.

I put my collar back on last night so I now have two pieces of steel locked or bolted on my body.

The Jail House after a day and a half

So far the Jail House has been the most comfortable chastity device I have tried. After a day and a half it it isn't rubbing. It has been a very easy device to forget that I am wearing.

It is also the best-looking device I have tried. The plastic CB series just doesn't look that great. My Bird Cage looks pretty good but after trying it on, I like the Jail House better.

The Jail House has seven rings welded at the bottom and with a space at the top. This gives it a curve. The rings hold my penis in place. I had to use a stocking to get into it but my penis has not moved around. The head of my penis stays put in the head of the device.

It has a hole at the tip and in theory you should pee through it. There are six curve bars holding the tip and in practice there is plenty of room in between them for peeing through.

Erections are not painful. They don't feel as good as in some devices, either.

There is no way to come while wearing this. It is too tight to get much stimulation from moving it around and the skin that I can touch is hyper-sensitive. I might be able to slip my penis out but the spacer is way too small to get my testicles through so it would be hanging from my testicles. Trying to get back in would be very difficult, also.

I might be able to take the medium ring but I am going to stay with the largest one for a while so that I can adjust to it. It's been a few months since I wore a chastity device and my skin might need to toughen up.

New Chastity Device

I'm trying a new chastity device. This one is the Jail House from Extreme Restraints. This appears to be from the same manufacturers as one that I got from the Sub Shop last December. Extreme Restraints carries it as the Bird Cage. The Sub Shop only provided one ring which was too small for me. It was very difficult to get on and involved squeezing a testicle. After a couple of days in the device, folds in my skin would begin to abrade.

The Jail House appears to use interchangeable rings so I can try the Bird Cage again with a large ring if I want. For now, the Jail House is quite comfortable. I can barely tell that it is on.

We will see how it works long-term. I can only wear it until Wednesday this week.

I have not been able to wear my collar for the last couple of weeks. My neck was sore and the collar hurt. After that I was doing something in costume most of he week and it would have been in the way. I miss it.

Back in

Not wearing my collar felt wrong so it' back on less than a day after I took it off.

Time Collared

I wore my collar for around two and a half weeks. The skin on my neck got sore so I took it off for five days to heal. I put it back on and wore it for another 15 days. B that point the back of my neck was feeling bruised. I just took it off.

I miss it already. I feel like something is missing. I would put it on already except the constant pressure was getting close to actual pain.

When wearing it, I can hide it under a dress shirt pretty well but it is the least comfortable that way. The shirt presses it down. In a tee shirt I can wear it on top when I am alone and easily hide it under the collar. The shirt doesn't press down as much so I could probably wear it indefinitely once I retire.

Catching Up

I've let this blog sit for months. To catch up:

I've tried several times but I can't wear the Fort more than four or five days. It is square around the hinge and rubs.

After touching up the paint on my collar several times I gave up and removed it with a wire brush. I like the effect.

I did this in July and wore it for a little over two weeks straight. I took it off in early August because of issues about keeping it hidden in public. I finally got around to putting it back on last night.

When I first got the collar I was constantly aware of it every time I wore it. I was usually aware of it when I wore it in July. This time I seem to have gotten used to it. Even though I have only been wearing it for a little over 24 hours I seldom think about it and often forget that I am wearing it.

I did wear it publicly. I went to the Dayton Celtic Festival in kilt and a dark shirt. I wore the collar on top of the shirt. It looked really good. A few people might have looked at it. No one said anything and there were a lot kinkier people there. One person was wearing a full-body (including the face) zentai suit over a kilt.

A Collar

I wore the Fort last week until Saturday night then had it back on again on Sunday. That's my normal schedule in a chastity device so I can probably keep it up indefinitely.

I bought myself a collar. I'm just wearing it as a bit of private jewelry for now. It doesn't mean anything since I put it on myself. I just like wearing pieces of steel that are difficult to get off.

I got the collar from Eternity Collars. It's very nice. I went for their Phantom line which is a dark gray. I liked this better than the standard shiny steel.

It is very well made. The hinge is hard to see, even if you are looking for it. The closure is a tongue and groove with a recessed hex bolt. The end of the bolt is visible since it has not been treated. I colored it with a Sharpie. I will see how long that holds up.

The collar is a couple of inches bigger than my neck. It might have been more comfortable if it was an inch smaller but I wanted to be able to hide it under my shirt and this size works well for that. I've been wearing it since Sunday and I don't think anyone noticed it. Even under a dress shirt it is hard to spot.

It isn't exactly comfortable but it isn't painful.

Since I started wearing the collar I've been forgetting about the Fort. Funny how adding a new piece of steel to your body makes you forget the old one.

I ordered some cuffs but I am getting them from a different company. I want oval cuffs and Eternity Collars only makes them round. I also want a ring that can be used to lock them together. I went with Ring of Steel for these. From their web site their products don't hide the hinges as well but they have oval cuffs. They also offer security hex bolts which require a special wrench. I like the idea of that.

I ordered the cuff last night and they have already been shipped. I'll say more when I get them.

Progress

I realized after I locked it on that I had used the largest and middle rings instead of largest and second largest. I wore this for four days, took a day's break then locked it on again with the largest and second largest (for sure this time). I felt a raw spot and took it off after a day to heal. I put it back on for three days then off for Saturday night through showering on Sunday.

I've been wearing it since Sunday - two days - with no apparent problems. I think that the raw spot was a combination of a fold in the skin and the hinge on the ring. With the larger ring there is no fold in the skin. The hinge gets a little sore now and then but it seems to recover as soon as I adjust it.

To repeat a few things that I have said before - erections are much more comfortable in the Fort than in the CBxxxx series. I think it is because it holds me in place better plus the length of everything including the two rings is nearly as long as an erection.

No way out except for cutting the padlock. This is the weakest point. Any other part would be difficult to cut. I may experiment with alternative locks when it is warmer and I can use my shop.

Different configurations

I kept the Fort on for a couple of days then took a break to prevent chaffing. I'm back in. This time I locked two rings on. The second largest is closest to my body with the largest against the tube. I used two washer/spacers and locked it on.

It feels fine. The extra space from the largest ring make up for the short spacer. There is no way to get it off without the key. The space is way too small to slip my testicles through. The rings are too tight to pull out and I'd never get back in if I tried.

That's a serious piece of hardware locked to my genitals. Except for the weight, it is very comfortable. I can feel the weight pulling on my balls when I'm naked. It isn't uncomfortable but In know it's there.

The hing on the rings may be a problem. That's what was irritating me the most before. I hope that my skin toughens up. Otherwise I will use some type of tape on it.

Cleaning inside the tube is a problem, just as it is for the CB series. That's why I was hoping to be able to use the cage.

UPDATE: The weight doesn't hurt but it makes it uncomfortable to walk. It pulls my balls down in-between my legs. Tight underwear helps a lot.

The inside of the tube is not as slick as the plastic tubes. This is a big improvement. I used a stocking to get the tube on. After that, I stayed in place. In the plastic tubes my penis moves around. During morning erections I always seem to get caught part-way down the tube but not at the end. Others have said that they have the same problem. With the Fort, the tip of my penis stays at the end of the tube. Morning erections are more comfortable and I don't have accidents when peeing. I'm always line up with the end of the tube.

A Day in the Fort

I've been wearing my Fort for the last 30 hours. So far it is pretty good. The hinge on the ring rubs a bit but it has not caused any raw spots.

I got around the problem with the guide posts poking me. I added the largest ring. It isn't locked on. I just put it on behind everything else and fit the guideposts into the matching holes. It adds some weight but otherwise is fine. It looks really serious with both rings on and the weight of the CB pulling my penis down. The weight is not a problem. I can feel it hanging but it feels lighter than it actually is.

The vent holes aren't a big problem but I have gotten pinched a few times when the padlock caught some skin bulging through the holes.

Trying Something New

I gave up on the cage and got a new device - the Fort from Extreme Restraints. This is basically a steel version of the CB-3000.

First impression:

I couldn't believe how heavy the package was. Fortunately most of the weight comes from the extra rings. Like the CB-3000, the Fort comes with four hinged rings. These are heavier than the tube itself. Still, the device is heavier than one of the plastic devices.

The construction is pretty close to the CB-3000. The tube itself has the same shape right down to the air holes. It is more oval than I remember. The outside is shiny. The inside is smooth but not polished. It is not as slippery as the CB series so it is harder to get into. This will also make pull-out harder.

The rings seem a little snugger against the top of my penis but I used the rings from my CB2000 with my CB3000 so I could be mistaken about the fit.

I used the middle ring. It seems comfortable and the spacers will not allow my testicles to slip through.

It only comes with one locking post, a tube spacer, and two thick washers that also work as spacers. Right now I'm wearing it with the tube as a spacer and the washers between the tube and the lock which makes it a bit tighter.

After nearly six hours, it is still comfortable. No pinching or rubbing. At least not yet.

It is very secure. There is no give so I can't slip loose by bending the tube up. It is also very solid. The padlock is the weakest point. If I needed out and I had a bolt cutter that is what I would attack.

It is strange to drop my pants and only see a steel tube. The whole thing gives a different impression than the CB-3000. It seems much more intimidating and permanent.

Flaws - like the CB-3000, it has two posts that come from the tube through the ring. These are longer than the locking post so they stick through. They are irritating. These were easy enough to remove from the CB-3000 but it will take a hack saw and a file to trim them on the Fort.

The air holes in the CB-3000 were painful and I had to cover them with tape from the inside. I will see if these are a problem.

Sanitation may be a problem. That's one thing I really liked about the cage I was trying. It was so open that it was easy to clean through it. This tube fits so tightly that I may have trouble keeping clean.

Still adjusting

I tried rushing the adjusting process and ended up with a raw ring around my balls. I gave it a few weeks to heal and tried again. The first couple of tries were just before bed and I had to take it off after an hour or so. I tried again yesterday and managed to wear it for several hours but still had to take it off.

I'm beginning to wonder if I'm reacting to the metal itself.
