Chastity device reviews discussion

I’ve dabbled with chastity over the years, coming and going, so I’ve likely tested most of the products out there. I’ve gone through all the plastic versions, quite a few steel ones; I tried the exo belt and even bought a Tollyboy. They all had their issues, and none felt truly secure, not even the Tollyboy. The longest period I wore one was 13 days in an inexpensive steel model that I adjusted so much it basically needed to be destroyed to get off. It’s been over a year since I last considered chastity, and honestly, I’m reaching an age where sex doesn’t cross my mind much at all (I think I’m 45, heading into the change). Recently, I picked one of these up for a bargain price of £25. The quality impresses me; it’s definitely stainless steel rather than coated zinc, which makes it hygienic. When I first got it, I was intimidated by putting it on because I didn’t realize just how large the urethral tube is with a 10mm end ball. I gathered my courage to try fitting it, and trust me, it took some coaxing to get it inside. This was only a trial fit; honestly, it did sit okay, but I was still anxious about leaving it in place and had it off just minutes later. Excited at the prospect of wearing a cage again, I gave it a tug but ended up bleeding. Needless to say, I haven’t used it since then, though I’ve had no other issues either. While it was on, I quickly realized how severe this chastity device really is; trust me, you won’t pull out of it easily. The only weak spot seems to be the cheap padlock supplied. However, the hole for the lock should probably accept a larger diameter one. I’m not very interested in sex right now and miss being horny, so I’ve started thinking about this lock again. I’m not too worried about the blood issue as I have had a piercing done before; when that was out, I bled quite a bit indeed, but urine is a great antiseptic and heals things quickly. My question is: has anyone else experienced something similar with bleeding? Has anyone pushed through it despite this? I was completely clear afterward when using the toilet and have had no problems since whatsoever. I think it was simply stretching the urethral tube so much on that first-ever attempt that caused the bleed, and I’m sure if I left it on, my urine would soon resolve any issues (bleeding). I keen to give it another go as this happened a few weeks ago, but the last thing I need is to cause real damage. Any advice is welcome.
