Introductions discussion

Hello all I’m seeking some guidance because I feel unable to stay out of chastity. Even though I don’t currently belong to anyone, I am looking for a partner and it seems remarkably difficult this time around; last cycle wasn’t nearly as hard. Mistress Andrea was the one who introduced me to the lifestyle, and finding daily life without my device is quite tough now. I did connect with a male dominant who wanted me to serve him. He specifically instructed me not to release while I decided whether I could handle serving a man. I haven’t committed to serving him yet, but it made me consider keeping myself locked until I find someone suitable. This leads to my question: should I get a PA piercing and install a lori tube? I believe this is one of the best methods for maintaining chastity without a keyholder. It feels nearly 100 percent escape-proof unless you have the specific tool, and it avoids causing serious harm to myself. The CB range device that my Mistress used on me worked well in terms of fit, but since she wasn’t actively controlling me then, if the urge became strong enough I could cut the plastic around the lock and remove it. However, when I was serving her, she would have noticed because she had engraved and signed the parts; any attempt to tamper with them would be obvious. I never tried that while under her care, but now it’s just me. Even though I’m not formally serving anyone right now, I don’t want to let myself down. My plan is to wear the tube and ensure there are no problems like chafing or rashes. Once everything settles in well, I intend to send the keys to a friend for safekeeping. He already has copies of documents and photos as insurance against things like my house burning down. Interestingly, he knows nothing about my lifestyle; I keep this part private from my social circle. This setup means there is no quick way to release because he lives interstate. Also, his job in mining involves a 2-weeks-on/2-weeks-off roster, so retrieving the keys would require considerable effort. Apologies for the long post! My questions are:

1. Should I get the PA piercing before meeting my new dominant, or wait to see if they approve?
2. Are there any issues with wearing a lori tube (I’m looking at the straight version without the ball ring) long-term 24/7? Specifically, is it okay for an 8 or 6 gauge PA piercing left in place indefinitely until I find a new mistress?
3. What else should be considered regarding keyholder setup? I’d like to give my keys away so that the only way to retrieve them is if my new dominant requests them back; otherwise, I would have absolutely no means of getting them myself.
4. Finally, using my friend as a keyholder seems risky for medical emergencies where removal might be necessary. It could take up to 3 weeks to get the keys back if he happens to be at work. However, I feel like I have little choice because coping without control is extremely difficult right now. Hopefully, this will address that need. I suppose I’ll just have to deal with any emergency when it arises. Appreciate your advice and opinions. Thanks, Servant.
