Introductions discussion

Hello I’ve spent a good while here but never really felt compelled to contribute. Also figured I could hold off until I had a device that actually worked and some real experience under my belt. But now feels like the moment, even though I still haven’t landed on one that works perfectly. I’m happily married; my wife wasn’t particularly keen on chastity before, but with our latest piece she started getting quite interested (we thought we’d finally hit upon the right model). Our goal is to broaden our sexual experiences through regular chastity sessions. We’re not looking for anything too extreme (at least not yet:-) ) I’ve spent over two years searching for a suitable device. The first was a CB6000, which was fun, but it broke down after just the third use. It also gave me ‘burning balls’, which wasn’t so pleasant. No. 2 was a #12E with a removable shield from Lori. When I first got it, it was tight enough that escape seemed impossible. It served well until one night when my little headall swelled up and took two hours to settle down… ouch… So I sent it back and received it again with a slightly larger front ring. Unfortunately, it became quite easy to remove and I still developed a sore spot behind the glans. I did ask for an exchange to a #2 (Lori was being nice - I’d read about her other side, so I tried to be very careful with my words). No. 3 was a birdlocked unit that I wanted to test while waiting for the next piece from Lori. It didn’t suit me at all; it was simply too small, but I used it for training purposes to reduce sensitivity (paired with a glued CB6K). No. 4 was my #2 by Lori again. I really thought this time we’d found the right device. I even wrote a review on her website (it’s gone now). The only issue was that it was too tight across the head (I’m not circumcised and the foreskin tended to swell). Had to send it back (Lori remained polite) and got it returned fairly quickly. This time, the size increase extended along the entire length, not just at the top (over the glans, as it should have been). However, there was still too much pressure over the top and swelling persisted. Once the tube widened all around, safety became questionable. I couldn’t remove it myself, but that didn’t stop things from happening! The A-ring was swapped to be round rather than oval (not a huge change - just slightly larger), which helped; thankfully the A-ring functioned as intended. The inside of the tube felt sharp though, so it chafed the skin. I commended what worked and asked if I could send it back once more to make the shaft narrower while keeping the top wider and a bit longer over the head. Even though I didn’t explicitly state it, I was willing to cover the cost of these adjustments. Unfortunately, Lori showed her less attractive side; she can be quite difficult at times. I won’t do business with her again and sympathize with others in this forum who have witnessed that side of her as well. Well, we’ll keep looking for a new device suitable for non-circumcised men that is also safe. Perhaps Mature Metal will suit us … English isn’t my first language, but I hope you bear with it anyway ddh067
