First Steps in Jail Bird

Last night was definitely OUCHY, as I woke four times with erections.

The first wake up was the most painful to date, as it coincided with my "longest erection" to date, putting painful pressure on my right testicle.

Most of my penis was erect within my body, and very hard, momentarily.

I was dreaming, don't recall about what, but woke and felt intense pain, and wanted it to end immediately. If I could have gotten the cage off instantaneously I probably would have.

I was able to relieve intense pain somehow, moving things around I guess, and later by urinating.

Having been dreaming, my thoughts were a jumble.

I put lotion on penis, inside cage with cotton swab before going to bed, for the first time, and I don't know what impact this had on everything.

Last evening I applied threadlocker to the screw and nut, as they had started to come loose a couple times recently. It is a strong version, so the cage may be semi-perminently in place.

I applied a very small amount, so hopefully if I need to unscrew the screw and nut I can, without having to file myself free.

The other erections, I also recall being more ridged than was typical recently.

I have no idea why my erections are becoming more intense.

Went for a walk after eating breakfast and drinking coffee at local places, and then picked up fresh pastry this morning.

No problems, but Prince Albert piercing is still very tender, inside urethra, where ring is in contact with mucosal tissue.

 

I recall waking with erections three times last night, without sharp pain, like the night prior.

When I woke this morning I found my genitals looking like The Purple People Eater.

The coloration quickly returned to normal.

My Prince Albert piercing was very tender. I decided to switch to the larger diameter ring, but once I had the ring removed I could see how irritated the skin was. I ended up leaving all jewel out, to allow things to heal for a few days.

There is a chance my body will not tolerate the PA. The piercing is over 30 years old, but is easily irritated.

 

Two weeks continuously locked completed.

Nothing new and exciting to report. Things are rather boring actually. I don't know if that is a good or bad thing.

Still getting 3-4 erections per night, which wake me, and sometimes I get up and urinate. Not terribly uncomfortable. Firmness of erections varies, and as a result the discomfort.

During daytime scrotum and testicles have become accustomed to being kept outside the body. Luckily, no chaffing has occurred using the Jail Bird.

The outside temperature is warming nicely, which helps I am sure.

The standard gap 3/8 in (9.5 mm), and the base ring size chosen using the sizing rings, 1 5/8 in (41.2 mm), appear to be perfect for me.

The flaccid length of my penis varied from about 2.5-3 inches, and I decided to go with the smaller size. 2.5 in minus 0.25 in, for a final length of 2.25 in (63.5 mm).

With caged held snugly against body by underwear, penis comfortably fills cage.

At the moment I can't feel the cage or my genitals.

Tried to put Prince Albert ring in yesterday, couldn't get things aligned. Today I realized I had over expanded ring, and had to squeeze it closed a little. Got ring installed but found the tissues still very sensitive so took ring back out for a few more days.

Screw and nut haven't come loose since I applied threadlocker, which I don't recommend unless you aren't planning to remove cage anytime soon.

I'm sure if my libido was what it once was it would likely be more of a challenge to wear 24/7. I look at porn regularly, but seldom feel aroused as a result.

 

Recall two nocturnal erections, but there may have been more.

When I got up to urinate the second time I found the head of my semi-erect penis wasn't in the tip of the cage, perhaps because I was wearing lose fitting underwear.

There was some discomfort, as my testicles were being pushed away from my body, and my penis was as a result being directed downward, while also being pressed back into my body.

Was feeling a desire to cum this morning. I wrote a little erotica, an ongoing story series, and read my prior installment. After urinating I realized I had been leaking precum, without realizing it.

At some point my hand reached for my penis, but I realized it was futile before it made contact with the cage. I wasn't erect, but would have made an effort to masturbate to orgasm, if I could have. It was an automatic reflex in the moment.

Lucky the cage is installed, semi permanently, perhaps. The only way to know is to attempt to remove the nut and bolt.

Installed the 5/8 inch captive bead ring. While only an 1/8 inch larger than the 1/2 inch ring, it is significantly larger in size; diameter. I intentionally installed it around the upper horizontal cage bar, as I accidentally did with the prior ring.

Walked at least 7 miles today, wearing my tight boxer style underwear under running shorts with built-in brief. Was only aware of Prince Albert ring when walking up slight inclines.

 

It was 3 weeks ago today that I started wearing the Jail Bird 24/7.

Yesterday, I unexpectedly had to remove the cage, but within about a half hour or so it was back on. There wasn't a problem with the cage or my genitals.

While cage was off inspected everything. There were several small areas of redness on penis, in areas concealed by the bars of the cage, or bottom of penis where scrotum is near or against it.

My penis normally fills cage, so not easy to clean entire penis.

The area around Prince Albert piercing was very red.

Cleaned everything well.

Also trimmed pubic hair with beard trimmer and scissors, which I had started doing the day prior, but couldn't get at it all.

Will likely remove the cage weekly or biweekly from now on, to inspect and trim hair. Hair on pubic area was being pulled by cage, so better to keep it short.

Not fun to remove cage, mainly because of captive bead ring in PA and red threadlocker. Threadlocker held nut in place, but didn't seem to make removal more difficult, once Vice-grips were locked on tiny nut. Had to replace nut, as it now had rough edges.

Nocturnal erections are still strong, if not getting more ridged over time. Not a great deal of pain or discomfort, except for tender Prince Albert.

Waking 3-4 times each night, and trying to sleep in longer.

Doing Kegel contractions makes erection momentarily harder, and feels kind of nice, as long as strain on testicle or PA not painful.

Caged erections feels kind of nice, perhaps because I can feel penis being constrained by steel cage.

I don't know that I would want an erection lasting an hour while sexually stimulating a woman to orgasm, which would likely be torturous for me. So hats off to the guys and sissy that do.

 

Have reached the 4 week mark, locked continuously except for less than an hour, a week ago.

My Prince Albert piercing has settled down and is no longer causing any discomfort or pain. I looked at it yesterday and it seems a 4 ga ring would easily fit, but it would be more difficult to remove, unless it is a circular barbell.

I'm often not aware of cage during the day, though at times it can be a little while before things settle in while walking. I experienced this when walking to the store a day or two ago. Felt a need to slip my hands into my pockets to adust things. Didn't apply lotion after shower, which could be why. Lotion can almost make cage move, i.e. rotate, too easily.

At night, waking 3-4 times with ridgid erections. I'm not getting a good night's rest, which isn't new. I will being taking part in some type of sleep study, and may have to remove cage, as it will raise awkaward questions and answers; unexplained reasons for waking during nocturnal erections. I may also have to remove it at night if my body doesn't begin to suppress erections in the near future, so I can attempt a full nights rest.

I've started sleeping naked, as constantly sweaty balls isn't enjoyable, or hygenic. I sleep on my side, so the cage is supported by my thigh, if not between my thighs.

The past couple of nights I have used a section of thin rope wrapped around my waist to support the cage while sleeping. It does keep the cage high, but also changes tension points when I become erect. I'm not sure that I like it. I'm feeling more discomfort on left rear side of scrotum. It feels as if chaffing is occuring, but when I inspect everything, all looks okay. It is the result of the pressure the base ring is placing on scrotum when erect.

Feeling a little horny at times, and want to masturbate, but don't, obviously. Haven't masturbated since January. Have though about getting a njoy for Kegels and anal pleasure, but not orgasm.

 

Another week has passed. Not much to report except on the hygiene aspects.

Have been trying to remove hair without having to remove the cage; it is a mental thing, and the challenge presented by the captive bead ring.

I have used a beard trimmer with an adjustable guard to trim most of the hair. Use nail clippers to trim a few stragglers. Scrotum is challenging enough with the bars of the cage in the way. Probably just need to trim more often, but I am lazy.

I have just read the thread about hair removal products and may have to give them a try, but I have sensitive skin.

When I wash my penis, I had learned I could pull much of the loose tissue, on my flaccid penis, from the base of the cage, with the head of my penis still being held in place by the captive bead ring.

This week in the shower I realized I could slip my pinky finger inside the cage and wash the bottom side of my penis. It is a tight fit, but it is doable, especially when everything is wet and soapy.

I also use my pinky turned sideways to wash the tissue in the upper cage.

Once everything is rinsed well I have to stuff the tissue back in the cage, with body lotion helping to lubricate things.

Experiencing strong morning erections, which seem a waste, not utilizing them to masturbate. LOL

Oh, I came to realize some of the pain I experienced during nightly erections was the result of the base ring pressing on irritated hair follicles, or more specifically, the associated sebaceous glands. If one of those glands fills with a firm grain of sebum, it can be the cause of pain.

I was looking for chaffing, because of the pain I was experiencing, but didn't see any, because the cause was under the surface of my scrotum.

 

When I am writing or proof reading erotica, my hand goes to my genitals and I momentarily caress my steel cock. ;-)

It is an interesting experience, as I can't touch my penis, what I touch and feel instead is the steel cage. I'm always hard, but my soft penis is useless, as far as sex goes.

But, my testicles still work, as my nocturnal erections demonstrate.

I still leak precum. No masturbation or orgasms since January.

Walked about 8 miles today, with no problems, barely aware of the cage, except when I bent over to pick something off the ground. Quickly learned to spread my legs and bend at the waist. LOL

 

Have reach the 6 week (42 day) point. Yeah!

Not much to comment on.

Still have a sore or sensitive area on left rear of scrotum. Examine and nothing visible, except perhaps a couple small varicose (blue) veins, about 1/2 inch long (12mm). Generally it doesn't bother me except when experiencing rigid morning erections.

Haven't commented on urination, I believe. Since I still have the bottom part of my foreskin, it tends to trap urine, and I have to either retract foreskin by pulling it out of the cage before urinating, and/or dry with toilet paper after I finish urinating. Leaves paper residue on penis.

Especially with nightly erections, urine can be trapped inside my penis, and I have to hold toilet paper to my penis until erection subsides. If I don't, I tend to dribble urine.

Same happens sometimes when urinating during the day. When urinating in public I have to be more careful to make sure penis is empty.

Erections haven't been too intense the passed couple of nights, luckily.

Trying to get in the habit of trimming pubic hair more often, and taking time to trim the hard to reach spots.

Also trying to be more thorough with washing penis, as it is caged 24/7 and don't want unexpected irritation to develop.

 

I have completed week 7 locked 24/7, 4 weeks without a break.

Sunday evening I decided to experiment again with a rope harness to support cage while I slept. After putting it on as I usually did, I noted there was a lot of play in rope and cage.

In the past, when I got an erection with the harness on, my penis would point downward, putting pressure on scrotum.

I decided to secure cage slightly higher up on my body, so there was much less movement possible.

The end result is my erections now point outward, and much of penis is pushed back into body. Erections feel harder, but this may only be because they aren't allowed to grow as much before restriction takes place.

Seems harder <oops accidental pun> to get erections to subside, even after urinating. Cage is definitely less enjoyable to wear when you have an erection that doesn't want to subside quickly.

Feel discomfort in rear scrotal area when erect, but no chafing appears to be developing.

I have worn rope harness every night beginning with Sunday, and will continue to do so.

Hopefully, the greater restriction will suppress nocturnal erections sooner rather than later.

Taking more time to wash and rinse caged penis, and trim pubic hair, as I don't plan on removing cage unless forced too.

 

For health reasons I am going to have to remove the cage at night, as I am waking up every couple of hours with an uncomfortable full erection, and having to urinate and wait for my erection to subside.

I am seeing a healthcare professional weekly, and they ask how I have been sleeping; not well I tell them. I have not mentioned the cage, and don't want too, as they will obviously tell me I need to take it off.

I have removed the screw and nut, which took some effort with the red threadlocker. I put on more than I thought. They weren't going to accidentally come free. It is a little disconcerting to be using a screwdriver near your penis, while applying considerably pressure, to turn the screw. I didn't want to slip and stab my thigh.

I also removed the captive bead ring from my Prince Albert so I don't have to fool with it at bedtime.

I plan to install the captive bead ring and the cage in the mornings. I will not install ring around the bar of cage. Hopefully, there is room in the cage for the ring. I might need to use the 1/2 inch ring instead of the 5/8 inch.

 

I removed the cage for the first time in over four weeks, prior to a shower tonight. There was no areas of redness or irritation. Everything looked normal. Penis felt normal.

When I removed the cage after three weeks, four weeks ago, there was some areas of slight redness where the bars pressed against my penis.

I have been more thorough with washing recently. Retracting penis as much as possible from cage, and running pinky around inside the cage, to wash all surfaces. Then rinsing well.

Testicles quickly retracted into my body. Poor guys.

Applied lotion and put cage back on, until bedtime.

 

Installed 1/2 inch 6 ga captive bead ring in Prince Albert last night, after removing cage prior to going to bed.

Didn't wake with any erections overnight, but also didn't sleep well. Which is typical. !@#$^

Was playing with penis a little this morning, but not exactly masturbating. Bad boy! LOL

Lubed penis and put him in his cage after urinating. He was a little plumped up so took a while to get him settled in.

Locked cage on with padlock. The weight of lock and absence of captive bead ring holding cage to head of penis means cage tends to hang lower, unless supported by supportive underwear.

 

This should have been my two month (8 week) anniversary of wearing the Jail Bird 24/7, with only one break 5 weeks prior, but reality stepped in. Sigh.

On the plus side, sleeping much better now. Only waking a couple times, and sleeping longer between wake-ups. Back to normal.

Yesterday morning, I was playing on the computer and realized I forgot to cage the bad boy. Put the cage on at that point. This morning had things I wanted to get done early so cage was put on immediately on getting out of bed.

Flaccid penis seems so small without all that metal adding to its apparent size.

Have fondled penis a little when outside the cage, while in bed, but haven't attempted to masturbate. Penis is so smooth. I hadn't been removing pubic hair for several years prior to wearing cage.

Much easier to wash, and trim pubic hair, without the cage in the way.

Since I am no longer wearing cage 24/7, it made it easier for me to volunteer to do some potentially hazardous cleanup in a hazardous environment tomorrow. A wildfire went through a nearby neighborhood and many people are volunteering to help those affected with cleanup. So, no cage tomorrow morning. I wouldn't attempt this caged, too much strain on testicles and pinching when bending over.

 

Not much new to report.

Didn't wear cage at all last Saturday, as I was helping clean up debris from houses that were totally consumed by a wildfire. Basically shoveling soot and debris into wheelbarrows and depositing that in large dumpsters, and hauling large metal pieces to a scrap pile. To add to our fun, while breezy all day, gusts nearing 40 mph were sandblasting us in the afternoon. We got done in a hurry during the afternoon shift, even though everyone had the option of leaving. All that remains when we are done are the foundations, and heavy equipment will later remove that.

Doing the same tomorrow. I also have a doctor's appointment in a distant town next week so another day not wearing the cage.

Was late putting cage on yesterday, as I wanted to shower with it off, and it was a cold morning; below freezing outside.

Feels nice to be caged during the day. Can't touch penis, with it on. Haven't masturbated, ejaculated, or experienced orgasm since January.

Did put the cage on this morning when waking up early, then fell back to sleep and woke with a caged erection. That is why I can't wear it all night long, though I would like to.

 

Volunteered again last Saturday so didn't wear the cage all day.

Had an early appointment on Monday and while on the way there I realized I hadn't put the cage on. I wasn't awake when I left the house! I put it on once I was home.

Thursday I had an out of town medical appointment, so wasn't able to wear the cage until the late afternoon.

I am truly missing wearing the cage 24/7. You don't have to wonder or think about it, it is always there.

If it weren't for the chronic sleep deprivation...

Finally did the sleep study last night. It is a single night thing, at home. Woke up plenty of times even without the cage. Bummer. But at least I didn't have to record that on the form I had to fill out. That would have been interesting, for all!

Not volunteering this weekend or the next, but will the following.

 

Had an interesting (minor) experience earlier today.

I meant to take the Jail Bird off prior to getting in the shower but didn't, after putting it on earlier in the morning. While in the shower I pulled on penis to retract it slightly so I could wash it inside the cage, and my entire penis just popped out.

I believe this was because my penis was a little cold, and shrunken. The cage was left dangling from my scrotum and testicles. I washed everything in that state, and stuffed penis back in the JB.

The Jail Bird without a Prince Albert piercing definitely doesn't prevent masturbation.

When I first started wearing the cage I almost pulled my penis free during a shower, but there was some resistance, so it didn't come completely free. I didn't want to have to stuff it back in, so didn't pull it totally free.

Soon after that experience I installed a ring in my 30 years old PA, which prevented pullout and turtling.

Recently, when my penis has been free of the cage, at night, I have touched it, and felt a slight urge to masturbate, but haven't. Seems like a wasted erection. ;-)

All these things contribute to a desire to remain locked 24/7 with a PA ring. If I am ever able to get my sleeping routine healthy, I will be eager to try it again.

 

I didn't realize how long it has been since I posted an update, almost three weeks, mainly because there is nothing major to report.

Went for a long walk/hike several days ago and this was the first time I recall having to pee next to a tree while caged. Not many people on trails, so unlikely to be seen, but people tend to appear out of nowhere, and there was no thick foliage nearby.

A couple days ago the stalls in a public restroom were occupied for a while so decided to use a urinal. There was a large barrier between urinals, so unlikely to be seen. Once the flow started and urine began to spray, I was concerned about pissing on myself, but luckily didn't.

Have left cage off all day when doing physically demanding volunteer work. Also left it off when going to a government building when I didn't know what type of security they have in place these days.

Sometimes am slow to put cage on in morning, in part because I fail to notice it isn't on. Especially with things being hot outside, it is easy to overlook you are wearing cage, and when not.

I have a couple times pulled out to urinate, so as not to spray urine and make cleanup easier and quicker. I then stuffed penis back in cage, which isn't super easy, as my penis tends to fill the cage.

The sleep study revealed I experience sleep apnea, and I'm awaiting treatment of some kind. There has been a recall of associated equipment, which limits supply. I'm not eager to do a Darth Vader impression while sleeping.

Still haven't masturbated or experienced orgasm since January.

I did go back to bed one morning a couple days ago while caged, and woke up with a very painful erection, and it was a bit of a shock. My body is totally unaccustomed to being caged during erections. I didn't remove cage.

I would still prefer to be locked in it 24/7, but that seems unlikely anytime soon.

 

I was taking a nap late Sunday morning and was awakened by an alarm on my smartphone telling me there was an immediate evacuation a few miles away because of a new forest fire. It took a while for me to locate on a map the full size of the evacuation area, but could see I was currently upwind from it.

I started to prepare to evacuate in the unlikelihood the wind changed directions. I stopped, after putting a few things together. Then later got more things together, just to have the practice, as if you haven't done it before, you may not pack things you should have. You get tunnel vision when rushed.

When doing the second larger packing I decided it was best to remove the cage, just in case. I believe if I had had to evacuate immediately, I would have forgotten to take the keys to the cage with me. Yikes.

Received like four notices of additional evacuations that day, including in the area where I and others had been helping people cleanup their houses that were burned to the ground during the last fire.

Spent a couple days uncaged as a result of this.

The past couple of days I remained uncaged because of an activity that required me to ride my mountain bike at least 10 miles round trip to attend each day.

I was visiting some websites after my return home today and had an intense desire to be locked back up, and so I am. I was also thinking I really want to be locked back up 24/7. The desire is strong.

My PAP machine has been ordered, so hopefully I wont be woken up so often at night, and can wear the cage at night again. They said I was experiencing an average of 19 episodes of obstructed breathing per hour, so have a moderate cause of sleep apnea.

 

This post is off topic so most will likely want to skip it. There is no mention of chastity.

It concerns medical care and privacy, or actually lack of privacy in the medical community today.

Those who have trouble sleeping may find this information of interest, as will those concerned with their privacy, or lack of privacy.

As I have mentioned prior, I have trouble sleeping, which prevents me from wearing chastity cage 24/7 as I would prefer. I was recently diagnosed with sleep apnea, and was prescribed a couple treatments. One is fancy nose plugs, and the other is a PAP machine.

When speaking to the woman who prescribed the PAP machine, one of her comments peaked my interest and concern. She said she would program the device after I had received it.

When I got the device I immediately dug out the manual and visited the manufactures' website.

I learned the device has a built in cellphone chip and automatically provides all my data to the company that manufactures the device, as well as my care provider, and insurance companies and anyone else they choose to allow. The company openly brags about how much data they have collected on patients, like the medical care version of Google. They claim "not to sell" the information, but it is clear it is readily available to many. They are free to share the information with just about everyone they interact with on a business basis.

In addition, when you sign up on their website, they combine the information you provide with whatever publicly available information they can find on you, including from social media sites, to creates some type of marketing profile.

After you signup and disclose your information, you can opt out.

You can put the device in airplane mode, but then your care provider can't access your information either. Keep in mind you have already disclosed your personal information prior to this.

On a related note, I was talking to someone thousands of miles away, about treatment options, and it was clear they had access to my medical information. With all this digital medical inter-connectivity politicians are bragging about, you have no privacy, as everyone can see everything from everywhere. In days long gone by, your information was kept on paper in a folder, and people had to physically access it. Today...

I've also had a medical provider pass information along to a 3rd party who presumed they had a right to use my contact information and added me to their text messaging and email platforms. When opting out, after the fact, I learned they had the option of sending me advertising. Lucky me.

This is nothing new, as this company started adding cellular chips to their products a few years ago, and some insurance companies "require" them for "compliance" reasons.

Most people simply don't resist this loss of privacy, and go with the flow. Someone said we no longer hand privacy and to simply accept the fact.

I called the woman who prescribed the machine and told her I refused to use and to let me know where to ship it. I didn't open any of the sealed packages.

Some day the internet will crash, or China or Russia will erase all the data, and all our information will be permanently lost, as there are no longer paper records.

Sorry for the rant, but I felt folks should know the ugly details, if they don't already know. I'm a little behind the times I guess.

I may need to go back to living off the grid, which is almost impossible, as my bank now requires me to have a smartphone to make deposits, etc.

Please don't reply this this post!
