Constant state of arousal question.

I am fascinated by the science behind male chastity, have enjoyed just reading the 'Reuniting post'.

I am currently locked by a Pro Domme, on approximately a fortnightly unlocking regime as part of my sessions - though I expect she'll extend it at some point as we've talked about sessions where I won't be unlocked at all!
We have a small amount of teasing phone messaging between sessions, and she sometimes sends me little clips to keep me on edge.

I guess it's probably different when it's more of a remote relationship than if you live with your KH and see them every day, but based on my regime so far, my experience after being allowed orgasm is roughly:

Day 1 to 4 - very gentle arousal and mild feelings of wanting to orgasm, but mostly a calm period

Day 4 to 8 - increasing arousal with some strong short peaks of frustration, straining in the cage, and brief leaking, but then calming back down as the peaks pass - I feel it's like cresting a wave in a ship

Day 8+ - a plateau of constant moderate arousal (still with peaks), slight persistent leaking for most of the day, an increasing feeling of heaviness in the balls and pressure in the groin area.

I find that after I've been on that plateau for a few days, I sort of adjust to it. That is to say I remain aroused almost as a semi-permanent state of being. I can mentally put this to one side if I have to do something that requires 100% concentration in my vanilla life, but that requires effort. It's wonderful but I can find it quite exhausting too.

Before I met my keyholder, I use to masturbate a lot to porn - often femdom and chastity porn appropriately enough. Getting use to periods of denial has been hard (rightly so!) but so rewarding.

By the time I get to a session with my keyholder, I'm like putty in her hands, and a lot of the soft limits we agreed on at the start of my sessions have gone out the window, I enjoy pleasing her so much I've agreed to many of her personal kinks. At my last session, we also spent time just cuddling, as I felt very warm to her as well as panting for release, which mirrors what's described in the Reuniting article.

I wish I could tell more of my close friends who are married to give chastity a try (maybe they have - who knows?) it must be amazing if this is with your wife and/or girlfriend, and you both love it.

Is it more fun than being a unlocked Alpha male who can dominate and have sex when you want? I wonder?

 

I hit my plateau in about 3 days or so, then constant state of arousal. When we do it, it is for 10 days straight each time.

 

It varies from day to day and even with a day or part of a day

Obviously at times your mind is preoccupied with something else. Driving work household stuff usually when its best to be focused on whatever you are doing but sometimes it feels really good and quite often it feels much better.

I believe I have reached a point where I prefer being the ongoing sensations of being denied and all that goes with that to the prospect of having some kind of release that lasts at best a few seconds followed by the Drop.

 

As others have said, it does vary in intensity, but that lovely feeling is always there to some extent.

Also, I find that it has the added advantage of getting me more fully aroused at the drop of a hat; or at least the site of my wife getting dressed, or my t-shirt rubbing against my nipple (which seem almost permanently erect when caged) etc. make me far more instantly horny that when not caged.

So I use this to advantage. If the background buzz has dropped a little, I rub my nipples deliberately, or give the wife a passionate kiss or fondle, or watch a little porn, etc. to "recharge" it. I guess its a little synonymous to edging. It really helps keep it more intense the whole time.

And damn is that constant arousal addictive.

 

Thanks @Dominant In Chastity - I just read the article you found and linked to. Very interesting - it seems to explain exactly the feelings and rollercoaster I get with periods of enforced chastity. It's also true that an orgasm is a lot like I'd imagine a hit of class-A drugs to be: great for a short-term hit, but with a long withdrawal period afterwards.

It makes me wonder how the science of discipline feeds into this - when I'm several days into a denial period, I begin to crave the feeling I get after a strict spanking. I don't crave the pain that it entails so much as the after-glow and it's odd that when my SO increases the intensity of the pain, I feel closer to her afterwards. It must feed into the Oxytocin, Prolactin and Dopamine cycles, with a good bit of adrenaline added into the mix as well.

(Thanks also to @bondinchas for mentioning the article in the first place)
