So, I've been wondering. When you count how many days that you have been locked, how do you count the time being released for cleaning? I mean, for example, I'm only unlocked for 10 minutes daily, tops. Does this cleaning time make the counting clock start over or is it just accepted as part of being locked? Thoughts?
The count continues. I only count times when it is removed and I get to have an orgasm. I have been locked constantly since March during that time I have had 3 orgasms have not had one full night free from cage
For us, any time it is off for cleaning/inspection or because my Lovely Wife wants it off for a short time to tease/torment/use/humiliate me in a way not possible with the cage on, the clock keeps ticking. ~subrick
You are overthinking this... as long as everyone is happy, communication is open, and everyone is honest.... that is the time you should be counting.
I agree, cleaning time doesn’t stop the clock, for us it only stops if I am allowed to touch myself of madam touches me.
Pretty much the same with me. When I was first locked 24/7 I counted my lockup in days, later in weeks, then in months. I am now approaching a full year and have long since stopped counting.
My wife encouraged me to stop counting on 2020 November 15th. I finally agreed to let go. It was after a month of struggling against her will. She made a decision; she would never allow me to self-pleasure my cock again. She found my behavior off-putting when I had argued she should let me stroke to orgasm. My argument was that it had been so long since, it would be so good. She came down hard on me. She said I acted entitled. She said that it doesn’t matter how long it had been. She was not going to let that happen. And regrettably, she made it definite. That’s it. It’s over. It’s her decision. She knows this is best. It doesn’t matter if I’m sorry. There’s nothing I can do or say. My last became my final. So she encouraged me to stop fetishizing over how long she keeps me locked. I would track it to the minute. She felt I was pushing her by counting and recounting the days, months and years. So now, entering into 2021, I’ve surrendered completely and will no longer count days or months. She’s telling me she’ll keep me locked all the time, except for the brief times she wants to play with me. Anyway, the answer is this: I used to track my time in chastity to the minute. My wife didn’t like me focusing on that. I now don’t track the amount of time out. Right now, she unlocks me once on the weekend for less than an hour. We proved I can stay caged for three months straight without removal. Her logic is I proved I can stay caged indefinitely, so I don’t need to achieve any more goals. They only served for an excuse for me to try and lead. This way I live in the present, let go of expectations for the future, and let fade the memories of what will now forever remain in my past.
Peter Rabbit's keyholder makes a super point: "Her logic is I proved I can stay caged indefinitely, so I don’t need to achieve any more goals. They only served for an excuse for me to try and lead. This way I live in the present, let go of expectations for the future, and let fade the memories of what will now forever remain in my past." I used to try to count by the hours.....now I only count a calendar day. If I have it on during the day, I count it.
To me being locked is mostly a way to achieve chastity. It does affect how i feel and act, but the primary issue is remaining chaste. So I consider a brief removal unimportant as long as there is no orgasm involved.
I understand the points folks are making about not counting, but i do like to count days locked and other stats to validate our FLR dynamic and help Mistress in Her control. I guess it's from the old adage, "what gets measured gets managed". As a practical matter for the OP, as long as i'm in more than 12 hours, it counts as a day caged. I'm almost allways caged, but if i get out to clean or heal up, that guide comes in handy. asa
