Introductions discussion

I finally made my introduction here after staying silent for far too long. Apologies for the delay… My interest in chastity goes back over twenty years when my girlfriend introduced me to a tale from rec.arts.erotica titled “The Chastity Belt”. It followed a man who accepted a full year of being locked up. That dream has stayed with me ever since. I married her some years later, and we’ve had plenty of fun experimenting over the time, yet chastity wasn’t really part of our routine initially. We owned one device made of leather with pinchy buckles, plus another from Northbound Leather featuring a zipper. Once the CB-2000 was released, I picked one up almost immediately and found it excellent. However, I could only manage to wear it for a weekend at most. Jump ahead past numerous devices (CB6K, CB6Ks, KTB, HT, HT short, DHGate’s models, Pedro’s KHD v2, PA5k, Steelheart) to right now. You folks starting your journey in chastity today are fortunate indeed. Currently, I’m using a custom metal prototype from Male Chastity Now (which I’ve reviewed here), along with his Contender model. Although I am mostly unlocked and operating on an honor system, 2014 saw me achieve a record-breaking amount of lock-up time. I give much credit to MCN’s Contender for that success… alongside my own willpower and experience regarding how devices fit. More significant than the hardware itself is my resolve starting in December 2013. I voluntarily stopped masturbating… lasting ninety-one days straight… and also stopped allowing myself an orgasm… reaching one hundred and sixty consecutive days. In spring, she joined me to have my cock pierced, so now I wear a handsome 4ga PA. At her suggestion, we took a break in 2014 while I readjusted to having the piercing, but by July I restarted, and I’ve reached twenty-seven weeks without an orgasm unless directed. Last year she was very generous, granting me nearly one hundred orgasms. She required me to wait for ejaculation once every week fifteen times, twice as often over two weeks, and eventually hit a personal best of three weeks between releases. This year, I vowed to go the full twelve months without caveats or exceptions. No six unsupervised orgasms, no eleven instances of self-masturbation like in 2014—just zero. For all of 2015, I would neither masturbate nor reach an orgasm unless she directed it. The best part is that she agreed warmly with a smile. We didn’t strictly define limits or frequency beforehand. I am trying hard not to push the boundaries too far in either direction. I spent considerable time getting myself into the right mental state for accepting this. However, given all that indifference toward whether my period of no ejaculation lasts long or short… I am proud to declare that as of today, I have had zero full orgasms so far this year—twenty-five days in. She has granted me two ruined orgasms already, and my last proper ejaculation was sixteen days ago. It is truly in her hands now, but I am steadily moving toward four weeks without an orgasm, perhaps even four weeks without a single ruined one. I am living out a long-held fantasy. She is happy; I am happy. I look forward to 2015 with anticipation. Thank you all for reading!
