Nightguy50 Captivating the Ache

I offered a greeting in Hello World, but I will repeat it here. Hello. To begin, I want to say well done and good for you to everyone undertaking this Journey alongside another person. Whether Wife, Husband, Partner, Master or Mistress, you have found someone to share the experience with, to hold your key, and maintain those frustrations. Their role may be minor or major, but equally significant either way. So, kudos to you all. I am glad for everyone. As for me, luck isn’t on my side today. I mostly manage alone, relying on a timer and lock to indulge our fetish for being locked up. But I don’t mind much; it works well enough, though having someone else would be nice. I have been practicing chastity for years now, ever since reading stories about it over ten years ago. The idea of such an intimate part of myself being kept away from me was utterly fascinating, and I felt compelled to try it. I did research before starting, or at least I thought so. Since I read many horror tales of plastic cages and rings splitting or breaking constantly, I began with metal right from the start. Well, not entirely strictly speaking. I did use that silicone Birdlock for a while, but disliked it. It was decent for short-term chastity, yet I kept getting blood blisters, and it started to smell quite quickly. Oh, I suppose I should mention I am uncut, which makes things harder, right gentlemen? So loose foreskin can poke out through holes or between bars or around objects, pinching much more than you might expect. It makes finding the right device a lot trickier. I think I tried about 6 or 7 different ones over the years: some full cages, some half tubes; long, short, and in-between. Figuring out the base ring size I liked, along with the lock type, was key. Experimenting is how you do it, so don’t feel frustrated if you can’t find a perfect fit right away; just try another device. I eventually settled on a full tube with a caged end. I couldn’t tell you its exact name—it’s one of those Chinese knock-offs of some German design—but it turned out to be the most comfortable I have ever owned, and I have used it for three years now, intermittently. It is one of those designs with a built-in lock rather than a padlock, which I really like since I never cared for the noise a padlock made clacking against the tube. The tube is long enough to be comfortable while flaccid, but short enough that anything more than a partial erection can quickly become very uncomfortable. So keeping my thoughts semi-chaste is usually the goal. lol And it is secure enough that although I probably could pull out, the pain would NOT make it worth it. Getting back in would be MURDER! My lock-ups generally last a month or two. I have done six months once; that was a challenge. But shorter durations work very well for me. At present, I have been locked since the first of the year, so well into my second month, and I don’t know yet how long I plan to stay this way. So far, so good is all I can say. Anyway, this serves as a good introduction to this blog. I will write more soon about how it feels, and the reasons behind it. And I thank the Forum masters for giving us all a place to do this, especially us solo lockers. Thank you.
