Chastity and orgasm denial discussion

Life has a way of popping up when you least expect it, often bringing its troubles with it. That’s been my experience over the last few weeks. I haven’t worn my cage much recently, which is more than a bit irritating. I enjoy being free, but there’s nothing quite like the feeling of being caged. I got home from work today and all I craved was to be locked away, but circumstances kept me waiting. It never occurred to me that discovering chastity would lead to frustration while UNLOCKED. Now, after a long day, I’m settling in and happily secured until tomorrow morning. Locking up after work is incredibly relaxing for me, which makes me curious. How do you all who can’t stay locked constantly (for various reasons) handle intermittent locking? When are the best times to be caged for you? How do you manage long stretches without a lock? :)
