Is teasing better when locked up or out?

First things to consider: For over twelve months now, we’ve been going through menopause. If you’re a regular here, you know this is about us as a couple. Each person in the pair feels it differently, but my wife (who holds the key) has seen her drive drop quite a bit. We are navigating that together and will find what works for both of us, though our chastity dynamic has shifted because of it. Now to ask: Given these changes, she mostly teases me while I’m locked up. She doesn’t tease me as much when I’m out anymore. My questions: How many others have this setup? Does it work well enough for you personally? I certainly miss the feeling of being touched without the cage around my penis, but I know better than to grumble. Any thoughts or advice welcome.
