    Hi all,

    Been playing with chastity for several months now over isolation, it's taken a few tries with finding a device comfortable enough to wear for more than a few hours. Currently using a knockoff HTV4 Nano, which I do like the fit of but unfortunately I found even with regular applications of lube I would start to chafe. Finally I sanded it down enough that chafing doesn't occur as quickly especially if I remember to lube often, however, oftentimes my foreskin will work its way forward and out the tip and get pinched between the cage and my underwear. Long story short, I like the device but it's not ideal so finally I just bit the bullet and ordered a new cage.

    Using the measurements of the nano to work off of I found a similar sized open-style metal cage on House of Denial. I'd found metal comfortable in the past without chafing or foreskin troubles because I could adjust through the bars except I'd got my sizing wrong so this time I'm hoping the combination of open-metal for cleaning and adjustments plus correct sizing will lead to a more comfortable experience so I can start staying locked for longer.

    In anticipation of my new, hopefully more comfortable, cage I wanted to reach out and get some advice on upping your lock times. I'd like to become more used to long term chastity so I can get a combination lock box and start using chastikey more regularly or even start looking for an online keyholder. So far the longest I've stayed locked is two almost-full days and one night (put the cage on in the morning of day 1 and took it off midway through day 2 due to discomfort), I'll usually then give myself a couple days break before trying again but no matter what eventually the nano leads to some sort of discomfort. I think plastic/resin might just not be for me. Ideally once my new cage arrives I'd like to attempt a couple days in a row just to get a feel for it and was hoping to hear some tips or tricks you all used when just starting out to increase your own lock times.

    thanks for taking the time to read ❤

    Buy a Kitchen Safe for $60 and only lock up during masturbation opportunity times. Maybe put on when you get home and have safe set to open an hour or two after you fall asleep. If you wake up to pee or in discomfort, grab the key and unlock.

    Big thing is to reduce the temptations that lead to masturbation, I.e., porn, erotica, etc. Learn some new things on YouTube and be productive. As the old adage goes, “idle hands are the tools of the devil.”

    Thank you! So far I'm actually close to beating my record, put on the cage yesterday and I think I'm good to spend another night in it because so far no discomfort this time. Since this is the longest I've gone without the device itself bothering me today for the first time I actually had to feel temptation and you're right, it's really about avoiding situations that lead to masturbation in the first place. Gonna keep that in mind when I try to push myself in the new cage and look into getting a kitchen safe in the meantime.

    it may not be plastic or resin that is your problem, take a look at the cherry keeper website for bespoke options, and see how you go from there.

    I guess the key is whether it is just discomfort or some kind of physical damage. If you can make it 24 h plus before and you aren't chaffing or bleeding, keep extending time locked. Discomfort maybe as much mental as physical. Good luck and enjoy.
