Tethered Male Chastity - has anyone tried this?

I gave the nitrile retainers a try tonight (first time) using the dental floss insertion method. After 2 hours, a few scares, and some blood, I'm giving up for a few days.

My thoughts:

See attached diagram. Even with various types of lubrication, from what I can tell, the soft nitrile ring binds very easily on the stainless steel tube if it tilts even a tiny bit (see the red dots). I'm sure you can probably get around this with more practice. I'd liken it to rubber gloves holding onto a piece of steel...there is simply more friction than steel on steel.

As I'm typing, I'm thinking that if I were to get the retainer aligned and seated properly, I'd be scared it'd bind attempting to remove. Obviously, @N23orMore had better luck/skill.

I also tried the smaller elongated retainer ring and struggled for 30min to remove it. I eventually used the forceps to get it out, but not after some praying along with thoughts of an embarrassing trip to the ER.

At this point, once I get brave again, I'll order the stainless steel retainers. I'll also consider the vendor's recommended forcep installation method. I think I'd rather pay a few times over for the stainless variety (assuming I screw up the sizing) v.s. a trip to the ER. Honestly, I'm not sure what the ER would do besides slice-n-dice unless they used something to "see" the situation because they'd be running blind (paranoid non-medical opinion). At least by myself, I can feel the inside situation.

So my unverified thoughts so far:

• shows promise
• buy the forceps
• buy the stainless retainer rings
• be gentle

I'll repost sometime in the future if I get it resolved.

 

I've never bothered with the nitrile retainers. Besides the potential for binding to the spout that you illustrated, I have read reports of them flexing enough under load to actually squeeze out (painful). Another issue with them is that you may have to cut/sand out residual edges caused by the molding process. The steel retainers have none of these problems.

And I also second your advice of buying the forceps. They are inexpensive enough (5 bucks!) that it is worth the extra peace of mind. That said, I've used them only once, when I was learning the ropes and had managed to get my floss tangled up around the retainer.

 

@detainee I agree with your thoughts ... I also started with the nitrile rings, with the intention of finding the correct size and then buying the Stainless rings. The nitrile rings in my opinion are nothing more than a cheap way to narrow down to the right size and as you pointed out are not really a true representation of the fit you get once switching to Stainless.

 

Zorglub are you still using this method? If so do you have any more insights?

 

I'd really like to try the tether, but have yet to find the removal instructions on the site. Could anyone clue me in, or send a link please ?

 

pretty much more than you need to know at http://tetheredchastity.blogspot.com/2015/08/introduction.html?m=1&zx=26fff82893ded1db

 

Oh yes i am still using the spouts. In fact, I don't wear a cage without one anymore. Besides the pullout prevention aspect, I find it more comfortable because it eliminates any issues with the typical retraction-extension cycles that occur during a normal day due to variations in penis volume or body movements (such as retraction when bending over). I had issues before because my foreskin would inch forward (I am not circumcised) and would often end up pinched at the front. When using a spout, I can retract the foreskin when putting the cage on, and it stays in place, even after multiple weeks of continuous wear.

Mind you, things have evolved quite a bit since my last Tethered Chastity blog entry. I haven't posted on the blog though because I originally intended it as a help for other experimenters, but the stuff I build nowadays requires too much tooling for the typical reader: I now machine my own spouts, retainers and lock blocks in 316 Stainless Steel or Titanium. I posted a couple of pictures of a recent design in my gallery (see https://www.chastitymansion.com/for...ing-system-allows-the-use-of-a-stopper.19215/)

 

Do you sell any of your machined ones ?

 

Your information is really well done- you are quite a great research find. All your information is detailed- Thank You for your Time!!!!

 

Looks fantastic, would love to have your set up for a cb6000s.

 

I'm not making a business of it, but I have in the past provided a couple of individuals with wire hooks and polished spouts for cost of materials, shipping and a token fee. That was with original TetherSpouts and wires of the same grade stainless steel (it has to match to avoid galvanic corrosion).

Machining a spout takes significantly longer than polishing an off-the-shelf one, but currently the real issue is the retainers: the elliptical profile is difficult to get right. I have an idea to make a specialized lathe tool that would allow me to turn them more easily, but it's going to take a few weekends at the machine shop before I can try that out...

 

Are you referring to the cb6000s hook pictured in my gallery (https://www.chastitymansion.com/forums/index.php?gallery/photos/tetherspout-locked-on-cb6000s.14672/)?
Do you already have a TetherSpout?

 

Yes to the one in your gallery and no to having a tetherSpout

 

Zorglub, are you able to use the cage without any rings when using the spout? Did that take a lot of getting used to?? Does the weight of the spout and cage resting all on the inside of your penis start to wear on you after a while?

I really want to find a solution that doesn't involve a full belt or a ring around my balls. If this solution would work, it would be worth a try.

 

I was wondering how long you can wear the stainless steel insert. Dors it cause soreness?

 

Since I don't have a piercing, the only way for me to wear the Lori #5 shown in my gallery is with a spout (otherwise it tends to fall off on its own). Now, a Lori #5 is heavy (mine is 8 ounces), which requires good support from one's underwear and makes it, unfortunately, far from optimal for strenuous activities. That itself takes some getting used to, but it would be the same if it was locked with a Prince Albert piercing.

I've walked around for a few minutes (and taken showers) with the Lori unsupported, but I would not care to do that for too long at a time. With proper underwear support, on the other hand, I've worn it 24/7 for over a week. Note that, for uncircumcised people like me, the foreskin tends to facilitate movement of the tube over the glans ridge, causing more stress on the spout than would happen with a circumcised penis.

One important caveat: a shaft-only device does not deal with erections the same way a ball trap device does. It does not contain them, it just restrict the girth of the encased part. My experience with the Lori is that I get a full blown erection, except that the part of my penis within the Lori cannot inflate. That has no effect on the shaft behind the tube, where normal girth can be achieved. That is actually a bit of an issue in that device with the tetherspout. Because the erection is not stifled and goes to full power, pressure builds up in the glans, squeezing and causing some discomfort around the tetherspout's retainer. Some may see that as a positive, but I've come to dread erections when I am wearing the Lori. I don't think that would happen with a piercing...

 

I think the longest I have worn the original TetherSpout continuously is slightly over 2 weeks. I did not experience any soreness due to long wear with cages that put minimal pressure on the spout (I can't say the same about the Lori), I did notice a bit of corrosion at the tip once when I was using an attachment prototype that put pressure on the spout's cross holes (it never happened with simple hooks). Nowadays, i use implant grade Titanium and even with tight attachments there's no issue: I've had my MM Watchful Mistress on for a month (except for a brief 1 day interlude to try a new HTv2 setup), and it's fine.

Some users on Fetlife have reported being locked with cage and stock TetherSpout for over a month.

Wow, that is one serious chastity device.

 

Thanks @zorglub - I now understand the device (which I didn't after encountering the original website). I'm inclined to give this a try as my experiments with long semi rigid urethral inserts have run up against the issue of flutter while trying to pee - something I'm sure the tetherspout, like other short inserts, does not suffer.

 

Certainly looks different ,
I'm not sure I want anything in my pee hole on a permanent basis though .

 

We are only into short-term play so it's not so much of an issue for me. However, I think that even for the short-term play the psychological difference between an insecure device (or one with a tell-tale system) and one that (short of cutting metal) is secure is significant and worth a bit of experimentation. since it is possible to leave the tetherspout in situ with the cage removed it raises the interesting challenge of PIV sex without cumming while subject to the additional stimulation of a urethral insert in place.

 

Watching that video made me cringe
Awhile back I was looking into sounds for BDSM play.
The recommendations for safety made me decide that I'd only do it with someone who had experience and really understood how to do it safely.
This just seems very unsafe to me after all the research I've done. Maybe I'm wrong. But I'll pass on the risk of the UTI

 

Well, as I have posted on this forum before, urethral play needs to be approached with some caution and respect so there is a learning curve to be gone up and I would not suggest this tether as a first foray into urethral play. However, for someone who is experienced and practised with sounding etc I don't think this presents a major risk.

 

So how do you get it back out??
