Chaste Life Monthly Newsletter Vol. 1, Issue 2
Welcome to the November 2020 issue of the Chaste Life Monthly Newsletter.
A Cautionary Chastity Tale
Imagine that your keyholder tells you to unlock for some teasing. Or that you want to remove your cock cage for a routine thorough cleaning. But to your horror, you discover the lock is seized up! Suddenly, like it or not, you’re stuck in permanent chastity! The other day I read a Twitter post by a guy who recently experienced just that.
The integral lock on his device had seized up and he couldn’t unlock and remove the cage. The culprit? One of the repurposed brass furniture locks Holy Trainer calls the “MagicLocker.”
Holy Trainer was the first to popularize use of the integral locks as a replacements for padlocks on chastity cages. The guy admitted he had recently noticed the lock was corroded and not working smoothly. But he had cleaned and lubricated it before locking up and used it anyway. Only a week later he discovered he couldn’t unlock it.
Holy Trainer provides a quality MagicLocker with their devices manufactured by the German company Burg Wachter. Like most German products, these locks are precision engineered from quality materials and reliable. But when the interest in chastity devices exploded, Chinese manufacturers developed a knock off version of the Burg Watcher lock that is furnished with the inexpensive chastity devices made in China. These locks are notoriously unreliable, often even when brand new.
The Twitter poster didn’t identify where the lock came from. But chances are, it was one of the cheap knock-off versions which are also sold as replacement locks on sites like eBay and Amazon for under ten dollars. In comparison, the Burg Wachter originals go for around twenty-five bucks.
Lessons learned? Never use an integrated lock with obvious corrosion or that you have already had problems with. Twenty-five bucks is cheap compared to the potential issues you will face from a failed cock cage lock. I’m pretty competent with power tools, but speaking as someone who once accidentally drove a screw through his finger when my trusty DeWalt slipped, I don’t want a power drill anywhere near my junk.
If you have problems with an integral lock, don’t be a shit sandwich. Throw the damn thing away and buy a new one. And only buy a Burg Wachter original. You can get the Burg Wachter ME/2 from the Holy Trainer Online Shop for $23 or from a Virginia company called Steinlock for $24. That’s way cheaper than a visit to the ER.
Unlocked
As planned, I unlocked this morning, November 21, after having my cock locked for 180 consecutive days. While I haven’t “celebrated” yet, I have spent time getting reacquainted with Mr. Happy.
I’ve been observing No Nut November as a follow-up to Locktober. There are only ten days left in the month, so I plan to carry on without an orgasm using willpower until the end of the month. I’ll content myself with edging until December 1.
One-hundred-eighty-days doubled my previous longest streak of consecutive days locked. So, now it is time for a new goal. But I won’t start that until January 1. I admit after six-months, it feels weird with my penis free of its cage. But I think it’s healthy to take a break. That’s not to say I won’t be locking up for some of the time before the end of the year. It just won’t be an unbroken streak.
After my junk has adjusted to its newfound freedom in a week or so, I’ll publish an after-action review post. I’ll discuss things there like any shrinkage observed, whether nocturnal erections have returned to normal, and whether everything else seems to be working properly after six-months of continuous chastity. These are all concerns for a lot of guys about long-term chastity. I’m pretty sure I already know the answers. But I’ll give things a week and then give you my honest observations.
Holy Trainer Review Coming Soon
Ever since my review of the CB-6000, I’ve wanted to do a head-to-head review with the Holy Trainer. I’ve heard from many people that the Holy Trainer is arguably the most secure and comfortable off-the-shelf male chastity device available on the market today. It’s time I judged that for the readers of Cut to the Chaste and myself. So, yesterday, I pulled the trigger and purchased a Holy Trainer V4 Nano for a wear-tested review. I expect it to hit my mailbox late next week. So, maybe I won’t have to depend on willpower alone to make it to the end of November. Look for the review around the first week of December.
