HappilyLockedMan Growing Awareness and Shared Intimacy

I’m quite new to chastity and I really like how my self-awareness is developing. I’ve been wearing a Holy Trainer copy for about a month, usually leaving it on except when showering. My wife holds the key, but so do I; essentially, I manage myself. Last night, though, I noticed some irritation where one corner of the tube was digging into my skin. So, I removed it, sanded that corner down slightly, and gave myself a rest overnight with nothing in there for once—a rare treat after such a long time.

I woke up at 3 AM feeling very horny, so here I am writing this down shortly after waking. Wearing the device does two things: it stops me from touching myself easily, but more importantly, it lowers my urge or need to reach orgasm. Here is how I see it now:

The cage helps balance the difference in desire levels between us. Tonight, if unlocked, I could either masturbate just to relieve pressure or fight hard against it and feel resentful that she wasn’t available for me. Both options would pull my attention away from her emotionally.

When I woke up with an empty head but a full heart last night, I chose to put the device back on. It wasn’t simple because I was quite engorged at the time, but as soon as it clicked into place, that feeling of “need” lessened significantly. It hasn’t vanished completely, but it’s far more manageable.

When I first introduced her to the concept of chastity, she seemed unsure about it, viewing it mostly as just another one of my quirks. And yes, it is a quirk! But there is depth to it too. I now view this practice as something that genuinely benefits our marriage. There isn’t necessarily a “right” amount of sexual interest for any couple; the fact that mine runs higher has historically caused tension and made me withdraw emotionally. By using chastity, however, my desire aligns more closely with hers. This alignment removes much of the resentment and distance between us, freeing me to show her love and gratitude.

Of course, there is plenty else going on as well. I find huge joy in giving pleasure to her. The intimacy and energy are wonderful; without complaint from her side, my hands would likely be all over her twice daily. However, she gently noted that I was exhausting her, so I have dialed it back a bit. We are finding our rhythm together—a balance that shifts constantly.
