Chastity and orgasm denial discussion

There appears to be a range of different perspectives on denial. The two most common seem to be:

1. Denial is simply a short or somewhat arbitrary number of days until I am permitted to cum.
2. Denial is something I crave continuously and do not wish for the ability to cum at all. I lean towards category #2, but unfortunately haven’t yet found a device that can truly stop me. I enjoy knowing I lack the ability to cum even if I desired it. I know there are methods to achieve this regardless of preference, but I want it to be as difficult as possible. To the point where I might ask my wife to lock up the Hitachi wand lol. So why am I a #2 person? Not exactly sure, but ever since I discovered chastity, I just feel that not having the ability to cum is so taboo; maybe that’s the reason. It goes against everything we know as males. The feelings I experience when denied also seem to keep me in an almost high state of readiness and horniness. Why would I want to lose those sensations for a quick and somewhat useless climax? So what number are you, and why?
