Have We Reached the End of Interesting New Chastity Device Designs?

By on Saturday, April 22, 2023

There was a once popular meme with text that read, “Congratulations. You have now reached the End of the Internet.” Today, I’m wondering, have we reached the end of interesting new chastity device designs? Say it isn’t so!

The Dearth of New Chastity Device Designs

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a chastity device review. But it hasn’t been because of a lack of interest. At least monthly, I scour the webs for interesting new chastity device designs, looking for something intriguing enough to buy and review. But for months, it’s been the same old story. I got nothing. Maybe the proverbial well has finally run dry of ideas for creating new chastity device designs. I could be wrong, but I think the 3D-printed Cobra device by Kink3D was the last noteworthy new design, and it has been out for a long while now. Long enough, in fact, that other manufacturers have copied it to death.

Yes, I get it. There is really only one way to attach a chastity device to the human male genitals without the aid of a PA piercing. That alone is a significant creative barrier in designing new devices. Sure, there are full chastity belts. And while I briefly flirted with the idea of trying one of those, after researching them, I lost interest. They are far more complicated to measure for and require a great deal more maintenance than your standard ball-trap device. And if you gain or lose significant weight, a pricey belt may no longer fit.

Of course, there are plenty of existing device styles I haven’t tried. But I don’t buy and review devices simply because they have some cosmetic differences to those I’ve already tried. After all, I have plenty of custom-made, well crafted devices gathering dust in a drawer that fit me and are comfortable to wear without adding a device to my rather extensive collection that I know I’d likely never wear again. So, unless I spot a device I know I’ll probably put some mileage on if it fits well and feels comfortable to wear long-term, I won’t buy it.

As one example, I’ve never had the slightest interest in trying a Cellmate. I can’t imagine they are comfortable at all. Frankly, they look to me like one of those combination lock boxes realtors hang on the doorknobs of houses they have listed. Those devices with a tube that feature a metal cast lion’s head with gaping jaws and teeth and the end hold no attraction for me. I shudder to think what might happen to the tip of a penis in one of those things in the event of a nocturnal erection. And the pink micro chastity devices with molded vulva lips as a cage do nothing for me.

There are a handful of devices that have been out for a long time, made by quality manufacturers, and that have large followings. But for one reason or another, the devices have never intrigued me enough to persuade me to buy them. So, yeah. Maybe we have reached the end of interesting new devices until someone thinks up a new and superior method of attaching a chastity device to the body, what we have is what we get. Frankly, I’m surprised some enterprising plastic surgeon hasn’t invented a method of surgically attaching a chastity device. After all, body modification seems all the rage now.

What's a Chastity Device Reviewer to Do?

Around the end of March, I was considering buying a KINK3D device to wear test and review. I have reviewed several Cobra counterfeits, but haven’t tried the genuine article. And, it seems only fair to the company to at least test drive the real deal. But about the same time, it occurred to me I hadn’t worn my Holy Trainer Nub in a long while. So, I put it on April 1 and immediately remembered why it is one of my favorite devices and one of the most comfortable I’ve ever worn. Like some of my favorite custom made devices, the Nub is so comfortable I sometimes find my hand inside my underwear, making sure it is still there.

There is a lot to love about the Holy Trainer Nub. At least I think so. I like shorter cages because I like the tip of my penis to always be in contact with the end of the cage. And the Nub performs perfectly in that regard. In fact, my meatus (urethral opening) protrudes slightly beyond the generous urination port of the Nub, looking like tiny labia majora. This makes it possible to urinate while standing with little risk of spraying urine all over the place. I easily hit the target every time with no mess. The design of the device lifts the testicles slightly, which means they never accidentally get crushed by the thighs as happens with other devices I’ve worn. Last, the device is just plain comfortable and light as a feather.

Holy Trainer Nub V5

Short story longer, getting reacquainted with the Nub V4 motivated me to pull up the Holy Trainer website to have a look at the new model, the Nub V5. The noticeable difference between the models is the V4 has the traditional Holy Trainer “MagicLocker” while the V5 has a new integrated push-button lock that uses “barrel” keys. I’ve been curious about how that works since the V5 model came out. I have read claims on a few other chastity websites that the V5 has some other minor improvements, but just looking at them on the Holy Trainer site reveals nothing obvious. Anyway, I placed an order for a Nub V5 and expect to receive it early next week. So, I’ll be switching from the V4 to the V5 for a wear test in a few days.

I intend to buy and review a Kink3D Cobra next, for the information of anyone interested. But those devices have been long available and I expect most people interested in them and who want only authentic devices have already got one. So, maybe I’ll only be satisfying my curiosity about how well the knock-offs I’ve tried stack up again the original. But hopefully someone may find a review of the Cobra useful. Meanwhile, look for the Nub V5 review coming soon.

Let’s Talk Penis Piercings and Chastity

By on Tuesday, May 24, 2022

Penis Piercings and Chastity. Love the idea or hate it? Let's talk about it.

Do you have a penis piercing? Have you ever seriously considered getting one?

I don’t have a piercing, but I spend a lot of time vacillating about whether to get one. Anyone who has ever worn a standard ball-trapping chastity device knows that security is an illusion. Sure, a well-fitted, locked cage isn’t going to fall off by itself. But we all know we could escape from a locked device if we wished.

While I’ve never escaped or even tried while under the supervision of a keyholder, I have tried escaping from devices when I review them so I can give an opinion on how secure they are. Some are simply more secure than others. But for a guy who wants true security, a penis piercing, usually a Prince Albert (PA), is a way to get it.

I even know a Pro Domme who won’t take on permanent keyholding for a guy unless he has a PA or is willing to get one. And I’ve read stories from women who hold their husband or partner’s key who persuaded their men to get a PA for optimum security.

So, I’ve thought about getting pierced for the added security, but haven’t reached a firm decision.

There Must Be Sixteen Ways to Pierce Your Penis

We’ll cover the basics since there is no way to know every single person who might read this blog post knows all about penis piercings.

A penis piercing is any type of jewelry inserted into the:

  • glans (head of the penis)
  • foreskin (uncircumcised penises)
  • shaft
  • scrotum

 

At the right is an image I found showing sixteen different types of male genital piercings.

Of course, not all the available options would be applicable to securing a chastity device. The PA is the the most common piercing for chastity device wearers.

Penis Piercing

People get piercings for various reasons, from sexual pleasure to aesthetics. Many years ago, I considered getting a piercing, mostly for the aesthetics. But I was considering a scrotum piercing, sometimes called a “Hafada.” It’s a scrotum piercing that passes through the loose layers of tissue along the scrotum.

Traditionally, this piercing was done in pairs, where the rings rested on either side of the shaft when flaccid. But the piercing now tends to be done along the center seam of the scrotum. It can be done singularly or in multiples. But of course, this type wouldn’t apply to chastity device security, which we’re talking about here.

So lately, I’ve been thing more about getting a penis piercing. While the PA is the most popular piercing for guys wanting true chastity device security, I’m not wild about the idea of having a hole punched through my urethra. And the Price Albert goes in the end of the urethra and exits through a hole on the underside of the penis, where the glans meets the shaft.

While I’ve been thinking more about getting a penis piercing, I’m uncertain about getting a PA, the most popular piercing for guys wanting true chastity device security. The Prince Albert goes in the end of the urethra and exits through a hole on the underside of the penis, where the glans meets the shaft.

There is also a reverse Prince Albert piercing. The names are similar, but they are actually very different. While the PA goes through a small amount of tissue and is quick to heal, the reverse PA is essentially an Apadravya piercing without the Prince Albert. This means that the piercing enters on the top side of the penis (usually centered) and exits out the urethral opening. That makes the healing time for a reverse PA quite a bit longer than for a Prince Albert.

So, yes, the PA seems a little intimidating to me, but I’m not all that squeamish, and I am considering a Prince Albert. But it probably isn’t my first choice.

The Penis Piercing I Most Prefer

The Frenum piercing is what I find most appealing. It’s a common first penis piercing. I’m told they are easy to sit through, and healing tends to be relatively quick and uncomplicated, usually only six to eight weeks.

I like the Frenum from an aesthetic perspective, and it seems it would also work for chastity. It seems the modular chastity device I reviewed that came with a PA hook would also work with a Frenum piercing and a ring. I know some custom chastity device manufacturers that offer hooks specifically for Frenum piercings.

The Frenum is a surface piercing. Traditional placement is through the loose skin on the underside of the penis, slightly back from the frenulum. Placement usually corresponds roughly with the circumcision scar on circumcised men. I’ve read that surface penis piercings are more prone to rejection and migration.

Rejection is when your body treats your jewelry as an irritant and decides to push it out, or “reject” it.

Piercing migration is the process that occurs when a body piercing moves from its initial location. Migration can be painful or go unnoticed until it has progressed. Given enough time, the jewelry may migrate entirely outside of the skin, although it may only migrate a small amount and come to rest.

So far, I’ve only had one short conversation with a piercer. He didn’t seem to know a lot about chastity devices, but after I explained it, he expressed reservations saying he felt concerned that using a Frenum piercing with a chastity device could put too much stress on the piercing since it’s a surface piercing. He also told me that initial jewelry is usually a 10 gauge or 8 gauge barbell, most often 5/8 inches in length. But after healing, I could go to a ring if I was determined to try using the piercing with a chastity device.

So, I’m still vacillating. I love the looks of penis piercings and am curious to try one. But if I choose to get one, I’ll probably get a Frenum piercing first and then maybe that will help me decide about getting a PA later.

 

Now over to you. Do you have a penis piercing you use with your chastity device? Please share your pro tips in a comment below.

In tomorrow’s Thirty Days of Chastity meme post, I’ll share my favorite toy (excluding my chastity device) that I use during chastity play.

BA-12 Custom-Made Stainless Steel Chastity Device Review

By on Tuesday, May 3, 2022

The BA-12 stainless steel chastity device from badassworkroom is bad ass.

After a thirty-day wear test of the BA-12 stainless steel chastity device from badassworkroom, I came away impressed with both the device and basassworkroom’s quality workmanship. After discovering the Red Chili Sissy Cage with its dramatic ninety-degree curve, I was dying to try one. But, after trying to order one three times and learning the company wasn’t taking orders because of their backlog, I gave up. Then I learned badassworkroom manufacturers a reasonable substitute in the BA-12.

No, the design isn’t as artistic as the Red Chili device. No surprise there as Red Chili alone stands at the pinnacle of the “chastity devices as art” niche. But when the BA-12 hit my mailbox, it immediately impressed me. Not only did the BA-12 mimic the dramatic downward angle I love so much about the Red Chili Sissy Cage, it is one beautiful, well-made chastity device.

While badassworkroom is a Chinese company, I’ve never seen this level of quality workmanship in a made in China chastity device. But, of course, badassworkroom is a maker of custom-made devices, not the one-size-fits-all mass-produced devices you find on Amazon, eBay, and other discount retailers. And the BA-12 is every bit as good as any custom-made device I own.

The image above reflects the specs of the BA-12 I ordered and the dimensions correspond with my personal measurements. And I’m happy to say, the device fits me like a glove. Of course, should you be interested in ordering one, badassworkroom can tailor all three dimensions to your specific needs. So you provide measurements for the chastity cage overall length, penis tube inner diameter, and base ring inner diameter when ordering to ensure the perfect fit.

The only measurement you must pay particular attention to is the chastity cage’s overall length. Since I have an average size peen, I planned to order a slightly shorter cage. But before placing the order, I chatted with a representative at badassworkroom and learned a thing or two about cages with a ninety-degree curve.

As he explained, if you want the full ninety-degree angle, there isn’t much flexibility in overall length. If you go too short on the length, they can’t build you a cage that has exactly a ninety-degree angle. That’s not something the manufacturer can control since it’s purely the product of a complicated mathematical formula. There is a minimum length required in order for them to fabricate a cage with a true right angle. So if you order a cage length shorter than the minimum, then the angle will be less than a full ninety degrees.

The rep calculated several length options for me, based on the cage length I had intended ordering and we agreed 82mm was as short as we could go and still get close to the right angle I wanted. That was acceptable since I’d planned to order a cage length of 80mm, anyway. And at 82mm, only 2mm longer, the company could deliver me a cage that has about an eighty-eight degree curve. So, as far as the look and feel, you can’t tell it isn’t a true right angle.

BA-12 Stainless Steel Chastity Device Physical Details

The manufacturer builds the device from Grade 316L surgical stainless steel. They buff the surface before shipping and the appearance of the BA-12 compares most favorably to that of the stainless steel devices I’ve ordered from other custom chastity device custom manufacturers.

The base ring is the standard circular type, though the stock they used to fabricate the base ring isn’t quite as thick as that used for most made in China devices. That is a plus since it reduces overall weight slightly and provides a comfortable fit.

The “MagicLock” supplied with the BA-12, that they refer to as a “stealth lock,” is unique. It’s different from those usually supplied with chastity devices. First, instead of brass, the lock is manufactured from the same stainless steel as the device. I don’t know if badassworkroom builds the locks or sources them elsewhere since I didn’t think to ask. Also, the lock is slightly longer than the “MagicLock” you usually see. So you can’t substitute an ordinary brass “MagicLock” you got with some other device for the one supplied with the BA-12 because it will be too short and won’t work.

The supplied stealth lock works smoothly and since it’s stainless steel, it has the similar anti-corrosion properties as a brass lock. The downside is if you ever need a replacement, you’ll have to go back to badassworkroom to source a new one. Or, when ordering a BA-12, you can opt for one of the other lock alternatives. Besides the concealed “MagicLock” I ordered, the company also offers a padlock, proprietary security screw, or either of those, plus a “permanent lock” option. If you chose that option, you will have to destroy the device to remove it if you ever decide you don’t wish to wear it permanently after all.

BA-12 Stainless Steel Chastity Device Use

The BA-12 is a standard ball-trapping device. You insert your testicles and scrotum into the base ring, slide the penis cage on, mate the two components, and lock up. The BA-12 feels very secure, but by now I’m sure you’ve already heard my standard ball-trapping device disclaimer. Complete security with any of these devices is only illusionary unless you combine a PA piercing with the device to eliminate the possibility of escape. That brings me to the next point.

Like similarly designed open-cage type chastity devices, there is no option offered for PA wearers. I’ve known pierced guys who had come up with some ingenious do-it-yourself ways to incorporate their PA for added security. But the fact remains, this device isn’t designed with any PA option in mind. Still, with the appropriate degree of suspension of belief, I rate the BA-12 as secure as any other stainless steel device I’ve tried. I had no ball slippage issues with the device, which means the standard factory set gap works great for me and probably will for ninety percent of the other guys out there.

Precautions to Consider While Wearing the BA-12

As with any ball-trapping male chastity device, choosing the proper size base ring is important. The worst that can happen if you choose a ring that’s too large is the locked device might come off or be too easily escaped. However, choosing a ring that is too small can cause significant problems, including compromising your circulation. As a rule of thumb, skin discoloration or skin temperature of the scrotum that feels cooler than normal body temperature are indications of reduced circulation. Wearing a base ring that interferes with circulation is asking for a serious medical issue. When wearing a male chastity device, you should always be able to insert a fingertip between the base ring and your skin. If you can’t, the ring is too small and may impair circulation.

Comfort and Feel of Wearing the BA-12

Oh my God, I love, love, love the look and feel of this ninety-degree device. It’s everything I had imagined when I first set my heart on getting a right angle cage. Here are a two images of the device doing its thing, one a side view where you can see the dramatic downward curve.

The device is very comfortable to wear, which might seem counterintuitive since it puts your peen at such a dramatic downward angle. But I haven’t found it feels any different from any other device I’ve worn as far as comfort goes. And my flaccid peen stays in the proper position. It doesn’t, for example, get stuck higher in the cage when it contracts. Once it expands again, the tip returns right back to the bottom of the cage. I’m more than satisfied with my purchase and feel the device is worth every penny.

Hygiene Concerns When Wearing the BA-12

Hygiene concerns when wearing the BA-12? There are none. The open-style design makes keeping the cage and contents clean a snap with a handheld shower head. It isn’t necessary to remove the device for cleaning unless you wish to do so. I wore it for thirty straight days, noticing no unpleasant odors or any skin issues the day I removed it. Ease in maintaining good hygiene is why I prefer open-style cage devices over those that have closed tubes.

Because of the right angle, I didn’t even experiment with trying to urinate while standing. To avoid the chance of a mess, I sat on the toilet to do my business with this device.

Final Thoughts

I can’t say enough about the quality of the workmanship badassworkroom puts into its devices. The quality is every bit as good as that of the two Mature Metal devices I currently own. The company has many interesting designs and I know already this will not be my last chastity device purchase from badassworkroom. Also, their customer service is second to none. I received several emails with updates on my order, and I received the device within three weeks’ time, even though the national Chinese New Year celebration when all businesses in the country shut down for the holiday took place while the company was filling my order.

I paid $230 for my BA-12, but noticed the price has since increased to $250. But even with the increase, compare that with the base cost of a Mature Metal Bird, currently $330 at the time I published this review, and I think you’ll agree that’s quite reasonable for a custom-fitted, high-quality chastity device.

Coming Soon

By intent, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Male Chastity is a comprehensive look at male chastity from all the major aspects. But for a while now, I’ve wanted to offer a companion book for those who don’t care so much about the what, when, and why behind male chastity, but only want a concise how-to book that will take them from choosing a properly fitted chastity device to putting it on for the first time to adjusting to wearing it for gradually longer periods.

I’ve finally written that book. Male Chasity Training isn’t a rehash of the information in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Male Chastity. It’s original writing that focuses only on the basics of taking a guy from beginner to doing male chastity like a boss in four short weeks. This book, a quick start guide to male chastity training, will be a helpful resource both for guys who want to try male chastity and for inexperienced first-time keyholders looking to learn how to safely and effectively supervise their man’s chastity.

At least for now, I’m making the eBook version available only on Amazon because so many Kindle Unlimited subscribers choose to read The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Male Chastity. So I thought, why not make the book available to read free by KU subscribers too? I will also offer the book in paperback for those who prefer to read actual printed books.

If this is a book that interests you, watch for the announcement when the book becomes available soon.

Answered: Your Most Burning Questions About Chastity Cage Safety

By on Saturday, January 22, 2022

The most frequently asked questions about wearing a chastity cage concern whether locking your penis in a device long-term causes any permanent damage. Will it shrink my penis? Will it cause erectile dysfunction (ED)? We answer your most burning questions about chastity cage safety in today’s post.

Myths, misinformation, and downright lies associated with long-term male chastity abound on the internet. That comes as no surprise. Anyone can say anything on the web, which is why you should take everything you read on the internet with a grain of salt. Provided you choose a properly fitting device, and follow some common sense safety and hygiene recommendations, wearing a chastity cage is safe. Very safe.

No medical evidence or scientific studies exist suggesting that wearing a chastity device is unhealthy or unsafe in the short or long term. Factually, no one has done any research about the impact of wearing chastity devices on penis health, but we can infer much from general penis health research, and there is a much of that. First, we will look at the two biggest myths associated with wearing chastity cages, and then we’ll review the common sense safety and hygienic precautions I mentioned.

Does Wearing a Chastity Device Shrink the Penis?

I’ve read plenty of claims on chastity websites and other forums where men claim wearing a chastity device long-term shrank their penises substantially. Here is what a guy posted on one forum I found.

“I’ve been in permanent chastity for several years now. My wife unlocks me every couple of weeks for a deep clean. In my case, I can definitely state that my penis has shrunk considerably, and maintaining an erection is impossible.”

In another post on a chastity forums website, I read a post by a guy who claimed his peen had shrunk by three full inches from wearing a chastity cage.

Sorry, but none of those anecdotal claims are true. Wearing a chastity cage will not reduce the length of a penis, not even wearing a cage that is considerably shorter than flaccid length. Almost always, when you read claims from men that wearing a chastity device cost them length, they will reveal at the end that they are into small penis humiliation (SPH) or being cuckolded. So they want their penises to shrink and convince themselves it happened.

We all know many guys not hung like a porn star have insecurities about the size of their dicks. I read a study where men with average size penises reported believing their penises were shorter than average. Guys like that who believe they have small dicks are the ones who typically embrace small penis fetishes. The facts are 95 percent of men have an average size penis. The remaining 5 percent have larger than average or smaller than average. So, if you’re reading this and feel your peen is smaller than average, it’s probably average.

 

According to one study published in the British Journal of Urology International (BJUI) Trusted Source, the average length of a flaccid penis is 3.61 inches, while the average length of an erect penis is 5.16 inches. So grab a measuring tape and prove it to yourself. You’re probably within the bell curve.

The penis shortens with age because of a loss of elasticity, usually between one-half inch to an inch. Prostate surgery can also cause a loss of length. If you put on a lot of weight or you have a thick bush of public hair, your penis will look shorter even though it isn’t. Men who lose length, or think they have and who wear chastity cages for long periods may attribute it wearing the devices when the explanation lies elsewhere.

Does Wearing a Chastity Device Cause Erectile Dysfunction?

Chasity device wear causing erectile dysfunction (ED) is another claim you find frequently on the internet, but it is all anecdotal. There is no medical literature that backs up these claims. Not to say there aren’t men in long-term chastity who suffer from ED, but it’s unlikely caused by wearing a chastity device.

Erectile dysfunction (impotence) is the inability to get and keep an erection firm enough for sex. Male sexual arousal is a complex process that involves the brain, hormones, emotions, nerves, muscles and blood vessels. Erectile dysfunction can result from a problem with any of these. Likewise, stress and mental health concerns can cause or worsen erectile dysfunction.

Here are some leading causes of ED, according to the Mayo Clinic. Heart disease, clogged blood vessels (atherosclerosis), high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, certain prescription medications, tobacco use, alcohol and other forms of substance abuse, sleep disorders, and low testosterone. One or more of those is probably behind ED reported by chastity cage wearers.

Chastity Device Wear and Nocturnal Penile Tumescence

I have read articles by two different urologists that had concerns about chastity device wear. Their concern was that the restrictions that cages put on nocturnal penile tumescence (nighttime erections) could be harmful. Men typically have 3–5 erections per 8 hours of sleep.

The parasympathetic nervous system, part of the nervous system that controls many of the things that happen in our bodies without us having to think about it, like digestion, urination, and sexual arousal, causes nocturnal penile tumescence. The latest research suggests that the penis needs a fresh supply of oxygenated blood from time to time and that’s why nighttime erections happen. There are other theories too, but what’s important is they happen for a reason and are necessary.

So, I can understand why these doctors feel we shouldn’t stifle nighttime erections by locking our penises in a restrictive cage. However, chastity devices don’t prevent erections completely. The penis still becomes engorged with blood, they just can’t grow into full-sized, normal length, or sometimes girth. While I’m not a doctor, common sense suggests we still probably get most of the benefits from nocturnal penile tumescence even while caged.

I see no reason to believe long-term wear of a chastity device causes ED. I’ve never suffered from ED as an ongoing issue, but like most men, I’ve had erection trouble from time to time. And, as I got older, my erections weren’t always as firm or long lasting as when I was younger. But, while also anecdotal, my experience since I started male chastity has been the opposite of ED. When I’m not wearing a chastity device, my erections are reliably firmer and last longer than I had experienced in a long while before I started wearing chastity devices. So, I have no concerns at all that chastity may cause ED.

Your Love Muscle isn't a Muscle Actually

Contrary to popular belief, your love muscle isn’t a muscle. A penis is an organ and there are no muscles in it. Organs don’t atrophy like muscles from disuse, but only in cases of some wasting disease or malnutrition. That’s why none of the penis exercise stuff you see on the internet will make your penis bigger. Your penis is the size it has been since your teenage years. There is nothing short of surgery that will make your penis larger or smaller.  

Common Sense Penis Care Measures for Men Wearing Chastity Devices

Proper Fit

Size matters when it comes to a properly fitted chastity device. You want a device that is not too tight or snug, and doesn’t rub or pinch any part of your peen. For best results, carefully measure your penis and use the dimensions in choosing the cock cage that fits you perfectly. This is especially critical when it comes to choosing a proper size base ring. It is common to see men go for a base ring size that is too small. Perhaps, they believe that a tighter fit makes the device more secure. But a base ring that is too small comes with serious health dangers to the penis. A ring that is too tight can restrict normal blood circulation and damage nerves. Also, when the ring is too tight, the skin of the penis and scrotum can be bruised, chafed, or broken, leaving behind patches of raw, sensitive, and irritated skin. With time, these sites can attract infections.

Hygiene

The next thing is to keep your penis and cage clean at all times. A clean cage comes with a couple of advantages, the absence of bad odor and skin irritation. A man wearing a cock cage should shower or bathe daily. If the cage is an open-type with sufficient slits, holes, and breathable spaces that facilitate cleaning without removing it, a handheld shower head is usually all that’s needed.

Never wear a solid cage that fully encloses the penis for more than four days without removing it to give both the cage and your penis a deep cleaning. This helps you avoid skin rashes, bad odors, and infections.

Regular Inspections

Examine your penis and testicles regularly to ensure that there is no discoloration, bruises, cuts, chaffing, or irritated skin of any form.

Erections

It’s a good practice to allow yourself to have a normal erection whenever you remove your chastity device for a deep cleaning. This can give you added peace of mind.

Lubrication

Lubrication is important when you are new to wearing a chastity device. A little lube around the base ring can prevent chafing, irritated skin, and rashes. Once your skin acclimates to the device and toughens up, lube shouldn’t be necessary if you have a properly fitted device. There are different lubes you can use from baby to water-based or silicone-based personal lubricants.

Contrary to anecdotal accounts you may read on the internet, there is no evidence that wearing the cock cage makes the testicles or penis shrink, or causes ED.

Cobra Chastity Device Review Coming Soon

By on Tuesday, January 18, 2022

After seeing so many guys on social media wearing the KINK3D Cobra 3D-printed male chastity device and reading an excellent review, I ordered a copycat device for a wear test.

*** UPDATED POST ***

This device has been tested and reviewed. Click the link to read the review: https://cuttothechaste.net/cobra-male-chastity-lock-device-review/ 

Judging from what I’ve seen on Twitter lately, the KINK3D Cobra 3D-printed Chastity is one of the most popular chastity cages going. Thumper wrote an excellent review of the Cobra Chastity this past November. Intrigued by the review, I immediately wanted to take one for a spin. But then I had an idea.

Here at Cut To The Chaste, I like reviewing original devices, but I also try to include reviews on less expensive cages for the benefit of guys who aren’t yet ready to invest in higher priced models. Since I’d also seen a lot of Cobra copycats on social media, I went looking for one of those instead. After all, Thumper has already covered the original Cobra so why not wear test and review a less expensive knock-off model?

After some searching, I found what I was looking for on eBay, Cobra Male Chasity Cage Lock for under $30.

While this isn’t an original KINK3D Cobra Chastity, it is a nylon 3D-printed device that seems a very close approximation. When it arrived in my mailbox today, out of the box I found it to be of good quality. To the touch, everything feels smooth with no rough edges. The base ring has a very smooth surface, which is nothing like the eggshell-like surface of the base ring that came with the first 3D-printed device I tried.

Having never tried the KINK3D original, I won’t be able to draw any comparisons, so my review will instead focus on this copycat device and how well I find it performs in all the usual areas. At more than $125 less than the original Cobra Chastity, I’m interested to learn whether this might be a good option for guys who like the style but don’t want to shell out the $155-$175 required to get the actual KINK3D version.

It will be a few weeks before I’ll have the chance to wear test and review this device since I’m participating in International Male Chastity Day until February 14. I have a key holder and can’t unlock and switch chastity devices until I’ve finished the month. So, look for a review before the end of February if you’re interested.

So I Ordered My First Steelworxx Male Chastity Device

By on Tuesday, January 4, 2022

I've got a new chastity device on the way, a Steelworxx® model, or at least it's in the works. But unfortunately, I won't be getting it anytime soon.

Thunderstruck, thunderstruck—Yeah, yeah, yeah, thunderstruck—Ooh, thunderstruck, yeah (Song by AC/DC)

So I Ordered My First Steelworxx Male Chastity Device

I typically prefer open cock cages since it makes daily cleaning in the shower a breeze and reduces how often I must remove the chastity device for a thorough cleaning. But for a while, I’ve considered buying a closed tube device, and a Steelworxx® chastity device has always been my first choice for a closed cage.

The big attraction of a closed tube is that it allows no penis contact whatsoever, which I suspect can become maddening. And not allowed even a glimpse of your flesh-and-blood dick is probably an interesting mindfuck too. I imagine that the cock cage essentially becomes a part of you, and maybe in your mind, you come to see the steel shell as your actual penis.

Most people recognize this German custom manufacturer, maker of the classic Steelheart, one of the most popular male chastity devices available. I’ve heard only rave reviews by guys who have done business with them.

Well, the time has come for me to try a closed tube device. But since it seems you can find millions of Steelheart reviews, I’ve settled on a different model, the Steelworxx® Thunder.

As you can see from the image, the Thunder shares some similarities with the Steelheart. But instead of the rounded nose, the nose of the Thunder has been squared off. It also features a more generous urine outlet.

While I had planned to order this device in late January or early February, when I checked out the Steelworxx® website, I learned the projected delivery lead time was already six months out. That seems a common downside to ordering custom-fitted chastity devices from European manufacturers, especially the popular ones. It seemed best not to delay any longer, so I pulled the trigger on January 1. I’m looking forward to trying out this shiny, new piece of German engineering, but sadly, I won’t be sharing a review anytime soon.

The Specifications

For the gearheads, here are the specs I ordered:

Cock ring size: 42mm

Internal tube diameter: 35mm

Complete length: 60mm

Gap: Factory set

And in Other News

BA-31P Model

Always on the cutting edge of new male chastity devices, Denying Thumper announced on his Twitter feed on January 2 that he has this new device from badassworkroom.com. Thumper calls it a cross between the Steelworxx Steelheart and the Rigid Halfshell.

Naturally, I’m eager to read Thumper’s review. Had I known about the device before placing my order with Steelworxx, I might have opted for one of these instead because of the long delivery lead time. But since I’ve ordered the Thunder, I probably won’t be in the market for the BA-31P. However, that doesn’t mean I’m not excited about another of the company’s models.

Since they offer both custom-made and semi-custom chastity cages, I expect badassworkroom to become a popular company in the chastity device market.

Here is the model that captured my interest. Meet the BA-12 from badassworkroom. I’m very eager to get my hands on this bad boy. Here’s why. Last year I wanted to order Red Chili’s Sissy Cage chastity device. My interest in that model was the dramatic downward angle of the cage. But, after trying to order one three times and learning the company wasn’t taking orders because of their backlog, I gave up.

As you can see from the comparison images below, the BA-12 has that similar downward angle I found intriguing when I first saw the Sissy Cage. But, of course, part of the attraction of Red Chili chastity devices is what the company advertises. Their devices are customized works of art. The design of the BA-12 is more utilitarian than artistic, but I still think it’s a good-looking device and could certainly provide the experience I was looking for from the Sissy Cage. I’ll be ordering one as soon as the company gets back to me with the answer to a question I asked about the gap set by the manufacturer.

Reflecting on My First Full Year of Full Time Chastity

By on Tuesday, December 28, 2021

Rather than feeling sexually repressed, a full year of full-time male chastity has given me a new kind of freedom.

December 31, 2021, marks the date of my first full year in full-time chastity. Technically, it will have been thirteen months or 396 days since I’ve worn a chastity device continuously since December 1, 2020. So, I actually passed the one-year mark on November 30 of this year. Today, I’m reflecting the effects on my first full year of full-time chastity.

How I Got Here

I experimented with wearing a male chastity device, mostly out of curiosity after reading about the experiences of other men. Single and right out of a relationship, I lived alone and worked from home. So I thought, why not order a chastity device and see what it was like to wear one? And there were other reasons beyond curiosity that motivated me to try male chastity.

After my relationship ended, I came to realize that I had developed a sexual compulsion and an addiction to pornography. I also felt that I masturbated entirely too much, which wasted and consumed entirely too much of my time each day. Frankly, masturbation became boring. So, wearing a cock cage consistently seemed like a solution to the habits I’d fallen into that I wanted to change.

Although male chastity devices come in a variety of sizes, colors, and materials, they all perform the same function. By design, they prevent the wearer from getting a full erection, touching themselves, masturbating, fully ejaculating, or engaging in intercourse. The devices typically comprise three pieces—a ring that sits behind the testicles; a tube or cage that encloses the flaccid penis; and a lock of some type to secure the two other components together.

My Salad Days in Chastity

I bought a device and began wearing it all day, and then while sleeping at night. The self-imposed orgasm denial and inability to get a full erection gave me room to focus on other things. But it was a fairly amateur approach; and usually after only a few days at most, my commitment to remain chaste would wane. When that happened, I’d unlock and return to my old habits.

It seemed having a keyholder to supplement my unreliable self-control was a good idea. So, after some searching on the internet, I met a professional who, to my delight, enjoyed locking men up. She was both knowledgeable and experienced. It was a long distance keyholder relationship, so she kept me honest using numbered plastic locks and frequent inspections where she required me to text photos, proving I was wearing the device and the assigned numbered lock was intact. Soon, my keyholder had me going from days of wearing my device to weeks and then months. While I developed a deep affection for my keyholder and enjoyed the interaction, after a while I felt I had gained sufficient self-control to go it alone and ended our agreement.

My Self-Enforced Full-Time Chastity

After ending the agreement with my first keyholder, I sometimes engaged other professional keyholders short-term whenever I felt I needed the extra support. But for more than a year now, I’ve been enforcing my own chastity. For the past thirteen months I’ve worn a chastity device continuously, removing in only once a week for less than a half-hour for cleaning and a thorough washing of my genitals in the shower. During that time, I’ve allowed myself one orgasm every ninety days, but only when caged. So they aren’t like the orgasms I once experienced. I never masturbate in the usual way, but achieve orgasm only with the use of a powerful vibrator against my cage. 

While I’ve gone from daily masturbation and multiple orgasms to having only four orgasms during the past thirteen months, instead of feeling sexually repressed, I feel a new kind of freedom. I can concentrate more on work and feel more in touch with myself and the world in general.

What's Next

Full-time chastity has changed me and my perspective on many things. I’m still sexually attracted to women, and sometimes miss the intimacy. But I’m not focused on finding a partner for a relationship or to have sex with any longer. I can’t see myself ever desiring another relationship. And since casual sex never interested me much, I suppose I’ll never have intercourse with a woman again. It seems that chapter in my life ended during the past year. But I have no regrets.

Chastity has cured me of habitual masturbation and I no longer need porn. I like being able to look at attractive women I meet now and see them as potential friends rather than possible sexual partners. I’ve always had a healthy respect for women, but chastity has certainly deepened that.

I can’t even imagine not wearing a chastity device full-time anymore. It even feels uncomfortable when I remove my cage for weekly maintenance. The more time you spend locked, the easier it gets as it becomes your new normal. So, I expect to remain permanently chaste for the rest of my life, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

All I Want For Christmas is the Mature Metal Jail Bird

By on Saturday, December 12, 2020

As you may have read in a past post, Male Chastity Devices Selected for 2021 Reviews, I will be wear-testing and reviewing four new male chastity devices in 2021, one device each quarter.

I’ll be reviewing the Mature Metal Jail Bird first as my first-quarter pick. I placed my order today since it takes about six weeks for Mature Metal to fabricate and deliver their male chastity devices. Hopefully, the Jail Bird will hit my mailbox around the first week of February 2021.

The Jail Bird is Mature Metal's Most Popular Device

mature-metal-jail-bird-review

I’ve coveted owning a Jail Bird, Mature Metal’s most popular device, almost since the day I first seriously considered trying chastity. I wanted to order one last year as my first custom-made device, but the key holder I had at the time persuaded me to get the Watchful Mistress instead. I love the Watchful Mistress, but I’ve never stopped wanting a Jail Bird. So, it will be my Christmas gift to me this year.

The Great Thing About a Second Mature Metal Device

Since this will be my second Mature Metal device, I expect the Jail Bird to fit even better since I know a lot more about properly measuring to get the right chastity device fit than I did when I ordered the Watchful Mistress. I should have ordered that one a half-inch shorter, and when I get around to it, I plan to send it back to Mature Metal for the adjustment. Meanwhile, I can’t wait to get my hands on the Jail Bird to take it for a test drive. Look for the review sometime in February.

I want to take a moment to wish all of you who visit Cut To The Chaste a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year. Hopefully, the COVID-19 crap will be firmly in our rear-view mirrors, and our lives will return to normal during the upcoming year.

Also, I want to thank you all for supporting this website. It’s truly humbling for me that Cut to the Chaste has received more than 27K unique visitors from countries all over the world during our first year. You’ve all helped make Cut to the Chaste one of the most popular male chastity websites on the internet.

In 2021, I will continue to strive to bring you unique and useful male chastity information that I hope will add value to your own chastity experiences.

Ten Ways Life Changes When You Start Wearing a Chastity Device

By on Tuesday, December 1, 2020

I’m not going to lie. When you decide to become a chaste man, your life is going to change. Here are ten ways life changes when you start wearing a chastity device.

1. Urinals Become a Thing of the Past

Instead of stepping up to a urinal and whipping it out to pee, you instead have to wait for an empty stall. With most chastity cages, trying to pee like other guys is generally a pray and spray affair. Chaste men must sit to pee, both in public restrooms and at home.

Don’t forget to wipe, girls.

2. Size Comparison Becomes Moot

You stop wondering whether other guys have a bigger dick than you. You can be confident yours is always smaller.

3. You Take Shaving to a Whole New Level

You learn how to shave or trim your genital area properly until it becomes second nature. That is unless you’re the masochistic type who gets turned on by having stray pubic hairs getting trapped and ripped out by the roots.

4. Moisturizers and Lubricants Are Not Optional

You become an ardent consumer of moisturizers, personal lubricants, and baby oil to avoid chafing those sensitive skin areas.

5. Nocturnal Penile Tumescence Becomes a Thing

Medical professionals say that a healthy man can expect to get hard three to five times per night during Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep. Doctors call it nocturnal penile tumescence. You soon discover just how close you come to the healthy man norm once you start caging your cock.

6. Sound of the Tin Man

Thanks to the tap-tap-tapping of the padlock against your cage, you will sound like the Tin Man whenever you’re walking along. Thankfully, at least this issue is going away since security screws, and MagicLocks have begun to replace padlocks as the means of securing chastity devices.

If you still use a padlock with yours, you might want to borrow a play from the military. When I was in the Army, we used miles of black electrical tape on things like load-bearing equipment

buckles and snaps and dog tags, so we didn’t rattle when going into battle. It was called noise discipline. No use tipping off Ali Baba that you were in the AO if he was waiting up ahead to trigger an IED on your ass.

7. You Stop Exaggerating Your Penis Size

Out of vanity, a lot guys new to chastity tend to buy larger cages than they need. Too much leftover space inside a chastity tube or cage means more problems with painful night-time erections. You must decide whether you prefer squished erections or having your balls ripped off by the base ring because you were too proud to buy a shorter cage. The choice is yours, my friend.

8. Ass Play Becomes Acceptable

No matter how you felt about anal play before you started wearing a chastity device, you soon learn that having things stuck up your bum is preferable to the constant ache of blue balls.

9. Orgasms Become a Thing of the Past

No matter how many more orgasms your partner had than you before when you had sex, the number increases by at least a factor of one since you won’t be getting any of that shit.

10. The Silver Lining

Don’t despair. There is a silver lining to be found in all this. You will never have to worry anymore about your partner complaining to her girlfriends how pathetic a fuck you are. You won’t be doing any more of that.

Status Update

On a personal note, I am locked again in my Amicus while I wait for the HT Nano to arrive.

I’ve selected four male chastity devices I’ll purchase and review during 2021, one device each quarter.

The past few days, I’ve been working on the website and tidying things up. I noticed that Chastity Devices I Like and Why is one of the most popular posts. The problem is, when I wrote that post last December, I was still relatively new to male chastity and chose those devices mostly because they appealed to me aesthetically.

A year later, I have yet to try two of the devices I featured in the post, the Jail Bird by Mature Metal and the Holy Trainer Nub (V4 version). So, I intend to correct that in 2020.

I’ll buy both of those devices to wear-test and review during the coming year. Also, I will buy and review the Red Chili Sissy Cage I mentioned in this recent previous post, and lastly, I’ll be buying and reviewing a cage I’ve had my eye on for a while, the Male Chastity Now you coulda been a Contender.

Hopefully, that will give Cut to the Chaste Readers four new devices to consider adding to their collections.

Still Awaiting the Holy Trainer Nano

The Holy Trainer Nano I ordered for a wear review has still not arrived, a week after placing the order. I hope to see it hit my mailbox sometime in the next few days.

I had planned to remain unlocked until the Nano arrived. Then after giving it a proper wear test, I intended to move right into my trial of Mistress Sabine St. Jack’s keyholding service. But I’ve been unlocked for nine days now, and I’m ready to get back into a cage.

I’ll be locking up in my trusty Amicus sometime after midnight, once No Nut November ends, and the calendar rolls over to December 1 and after I’ve savored my much-anticipated release.

What's Coming Next?

In the next post, I’ll be sharing, as promised, my post-six-months locked up observations.

  • Did I experience the dreaded shrinkage?
  • Did I develop chastity-related ED?
  • Is morning wood gone forever?
  • Is ejaculation possible anymore?

 

Please tune in next time when we’ll probe into those questions and more. There was one surprise I wasn’t expecting. I’ll talk about that too. You won’t want to miss it.
