How Long Should This Go On? Look at My Face!

As we kick off the newest chastity cycle (starting Jan 1st for me), my partner and I have decided that I should grow out a beard to “mark the passing of chastity cycle time”. It’s only been a week, but since my facial hair grows as fast as Scooby Doo’s Shaggy, it doesn’t look great yet. (Once again, I seem to be less of a show-off and more of a grower… This might need trimming down to just a goatee later on, but with “between projects” downtime at work, it serves as an interesting diversion. It is certainly a very visible and fun reminder of our progress—I usually can’t walk around the house naked without feeling exposed, but my KH seems to enjoy this beard growth as a measuring stick for us. It’s less about counting days and more about watching the growth. We haven’t settled on “how long” this cycle will last yet, though that is her decision regardless. Since she likes the fuzzy look, I might be in for a longer stretch this time.

Has anyone else found an interesting or new way to “mark the time”?
