Answers to recent chastity questions submitted by readers in this edition of Cut to the Chaste Mail Call for January 2022.
I always enjoy getting questions and comments from Cut to the Chaste readers. While I try my best to read and answer every question, I’m aware there is a glitch in the matrix. For a reason I’ve yet to figure out, my email provider doesn’t seem to like emails generated by my contact form. So, I have to check my spam folder regularly to rescue them. I also often wonder if all reader submissions even get through since I suspect my email provider may reject some instead of dumping them to the spam folder. On one level, I understand this because for every legit question or comment sent through the contact form are about nine actual spam submissions, mostly phishing schemes. If you want to improve the odds of getting a reply when sending me questions, you can send them directly to my email account. The address is available on the About me page. And now to this month’s questions.
Male Chastity and Running
Good Morning Chaste,
Great website, my wife and I have been practicing MC since June and sites like yours are very helpful, thank you. I was reading your about page and notice you enjoy long distance running. I am a marathoner. I was curious if you run locked? If so, do you have a recommendation for a device? It has been the hardest part of being locked for me, thanks for any feedback.
P.S. great article on side-gig, my wife is pondering this, but wants more time and experience keeping me locked first. Happy Holidays.

Hello JR,
Thanks for the question. Yes, I do enjoy long distance running, and was once a marathoner too. I completed several full marathons and a few half-marathons years ago, but am now a fitness runner. I still do weekend long runs besides my daily shorter runs, but don’t rack up the mileage I did when training for marathons.
First, please accept my congratulations to you and your wife. I always enjoy hearing about couples who are sharing the MC lifestyle. And now, to your question.
Yes, I always run locked and have for quite a while now. While training for a 10K, I purchased a Cherry Keeper chastity device specifically for running. I have run in all of my custom fitted metal chastity cages with no issues. But the lighter weight Cherry Keeper felt great.
The only problem is that it’s a 3-D printed device and has an eggshell-like finish instead of a smooth one. While I experienced no real chaffing, that became uncomfortable on longer runs. So, I sanded the inside of the base ring with high grit sandpaper and that helped, although the surface still wasn’t completely smooth. Then, I tried Holy Trainer devices and now the HT Nub V4 is my go-to device for running.
I don’t always take time to change to the Nub for shorter runs, but I always wear it for weekend long runs. I find that good support is also a key to running comfortably while locked. In the past, I never wore underwear beneath my running shorts, but now I do. I have tight-fitting, moisture wicking underwear for running that gives the support I need to keep things from bouncing around. Wearing biking shorts, either alone or beneath running shorts is another way to get the needed support. Thanks for writing, and I hope you and your wife had great holidays too, and that 2022 is treating you well.
Issues With Third-Party Holy Trainer Device
Hello,
I have a holy trainer V4 nano that I purchased from a 3rd party and wonder if you have noticed from your holy trainer that the sections at the top of the cage ring that holds the lock in place to the cage seems to slowly over time spread itself apart leading to either the lock not being accessible and also then the lock springing out and the cage breaking.
PS
Hi PS,
No, I haven’t had the problems you described. As noted in my reviews of the Nano V4 and Nub V4, I purchased both devices directly from Holy Trainer. From the manufacturer, the devices retail at $165, so I understand why some guys choose to buy “Holy Trainer” devices from third party retailers because you can find them all over the internet for anywhere between $20 to $40. The problem is, those are knock-offs, not authentic Holy Trainer manufactured devices. As one of the most popular plastic chastity devices, Holy Trainer devices are also some of the most widely copied. As a result, quality of workmanship and materials is often lacking in the counterfeit models. I suspect that is where your problems lie. I don’t think you would have the issues described with a device purchased from Holy Trainer. Many third party retailers who sell the knock-offs blatantly advertise their devices as authentic Holy Trainer cages, so it is easy to get taken in by the false claims. Thank you for the question.
Do you have a question about male chastity or chastity devices? If so, please send it to Cut to the Chaste. I’ll answer it, or if I can’t, I’ll find the answer and then we’ll both know.
