Chastity and orgasm denial discussion

Hello,

I picked up my first real chastity device at the start of this month. It’s wonderful and looks great, but I have an issue I’d like to discuss with everyone. Any feedback is greatly appreciated! Here is a photo of it; Steelwerks made it custom for me and the quality is excellent: [[Image: photo.JPG]](the referenced community page)

A few days ago, I wore it from roughly 8 pm until about 9 am the next morning. The reason I removed it was significant pain in my testicles. Initially, it felt fine; when I got an erection, the device would firm up without moving around much, which I really enjoy. However, the aching started, and I had to keep erotic thoughts at bay because of it. By morning, the discomfort became too much, likely due to ‘morning wood’.

The core issue is that I don’t want pain for my chastity; I seek the frustration and denial from lacking an erection. The hurt in my testicles bothers me more than even the sensation of the spiked cap. Earlier today on chat, two people mentioned it might be a slightly tight cock ring but suggested it would improve with time. They also encouraged asking others here for input.

My ideal chastity experience involves tease and denial, which seems hard to achieve right now given these symptoms. So I ask: What is your opinion? Is my device wrong; am I wearing it incorrectly; or do I need to start with shorter periods before building up to days, weeks, or months of being locked while still getting erections without the pain becoming unbearable?

Thank you very much for helping. Sorry for the lengthy post! I tried to include as many details as possible.
