Chastity cage - Health related question

Hello to anyone who might take the time out of their busy day to read this ~!!
(I apologize in advance if this is the wrong place to post this sort of content)

So I've been dabbling and ''testing the waters'' with chastity cages for the majority of the past year with my partner. Since it's relatively a fresh thing I haven't had the opportunity to wear and try lots of different cages, so for the majority of the time I experimented with wearing a CB-X MiniMe cage. Recently my partner expressed her desire to see how a steel one would look (since we have made the decision to get a custom cage in the near future to enable more ''permanency'' in our relationship).
Since I'm on the small side, I've always had a relatively easy time pulling out of my cage, no matter how small the ring is, so I've always been slightly fascinated by cages with urethral inserts (because supposedly they're harder to pull out of, and peeing in them seems much cleaner, and I'm overall into how they look)

So long story short, I got a small cage with a urethral tube (silicone) from a HoD website to test out the waters and figure out things that I can use for creating my custom cage in the near future.
Once I got it, I immediately cleaned and disinfected it to the best of my ability, I put it on and honestly I fell in love immediately with the overall look and feel of it.
After wearing it for a whole day and going to the bathroom multiple times, I realized two things I disliked about it:
1. It's too heavy (which is expected since it's a cheap cage, something I could address when getting a custom one - titanium)
2. Urine gets stuck in the silicone tube (also understandable, quality of the silicone and all)

After removing it for the first time, I noticed there was a certain white substance covering parts of the tube, which I originally credited to being cum/precum (because of how deep the tube goes)
I tried wearing it again the next day again, this time I didn't go quite as far with cleaning it, but I still believe I did a decent job and that no complications should happen, and after removing it, the same white substance was there (which worried me now, because I was allowed an orgasm the prior night, so there shouldn't be a cum buildup in my opinion)
Even after a full day of not wearing it, I found myself able to ''squeeze'' more of the substance out of my penis with applying enough pressure

I went down the rabbit hole that is Google and got scared that I've caused myself an infection, so I've put the cage away for a whole month. I felt no ''symptoms'' of an infection (burning sensation, feeling tired, feeling dizzy and pain when urinating)

After a month, I've built up the courage to try again, this time I put on the cage without the urethral tube (again having an orgasm prior to that). I wore it for a few hours, went through one painful teasing session and I decided to take it off to inspect things. Once I took it off, there was legit a blob of what looked like cum (but I have a gut feeling that it wasn't) and slight ''pain'' in my penis (which could be just because I was trying to desperately get hard in a super small cage).

I cleaned up, put the cage away, and went to sleep. This morning I woke up, and to test the waters, I squeezed my penis from the bottom all the way to the top, and a tiny bit of that white substance came out (I urinated multiple times before this)

As an additional piece of information, I'm circumcised. The fact this happened both with and without the urethral tube, and that I've never experienced it with my previous cage (which was relatively bigger and less constricting) just leaves me with mixed emotions and fear to lock myself up again.

So I'm turning to you all experienced veterans of the chastity lifestyle in hopes you might share your experiences and wisdom with me. I'd like to repeat, that I've experienced no symptoms of having an infection, and In my opinion, I haven't done anything to give myself one, which is why I'm reluctant to go to the hospital and have tests done to confirm whether my fear is real or false.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, I'm sorry for making it so elaborate and long.

 

Thank you for your reply, it definitely helps.

As I said, I've counted out the possibility of it being anything related to semen mainly because I had orgasms before noticing these things, but your comment definitely makes me think twice.

As far as the urethral tube is concerned, one of the custom cage designs my partner is into (she's super picky as to how a cage looks) includes a titanium tube (Steelworxx Looker 1), but I'm not exactly into the idea of having to remove it that often.
I'd be okay with removing it once a week, at most twice.

We have already agreed to the idea of getting a PA piercing in the future, but I hoped I could play around with this in the meantime.

Cheers ~!!

 

Yes, might be a duck. I never asked for a 100% confirmed answer from anyone, I just asked about their own personal experience with ducks, since I haven't seen many (any) in my lifetime since I'm new to this.

As far as willpower and being able to pull out of a cage, I don't think there is a cage/ever will be that a human mind couldn't find a way out of. But knowing that it's much more difficult than not is one of the aspects of locking that we both enjoy. At the end of the day, the entire ''You can't touch yourself unless I allow/unlock you'' is fairly abstract, and there is no cage stronger than a human's willpower to be obedient and follow the lead of their keyholder.

We have already discussed this quite a lot and agreed that I'll get a PA piercing to solidify the entire thing a tad bit more, but as I said, I was hoping to play with this till that happens.

Thank you for your beautiful duck speech, cheers ~!!

 

Ayee that was the plan. My partner is absurdly picky with how a cage looks and it's such a difficult thing. I've showed her like 50 different designs from verified custom producers and she didn't like a single one. The Looker 01 isn't fully her cup of tea either, but she says it's better than nothing.
Ironically enough, she's super into the ''Flower'' design (Flower Top or smth) that I've seen in a bunch of chinese knock off cages, sadly I didn't notice any of the custom manufacturers offering this type of design.

 

Yeah that's the one .
Sadly the website references that the cage part is imported from China as well. I'd prefer the entire thing to be custom-handmade (most likely out of titanium).
I've debated trying to contact steelworxx and ask if they can make this type of design custom for me, I wouldn't mind paying an additional fee if it means my partner is going to be completely satisfied with it.
But I haven't gotten down to it yet ~!!

 

Main reason why I doubt it could be an infection is because I really did my best to keep things as clean as possible, and because it was only a two-time thing.

The reason for my concern though is that after a month of not wearing a cage at all, I put it on again (note: without the insert, just a normal cage) and the ''discharge'' as I like to call it happened again.

Thank you for your insight though, cheers ~!!

 

I've never considered smegma to be an option, because I was under the impression it formed outside of the penis, not inside.

 

Did you get an infection after a prolonged use, ooor like immediately at the start?
But yeah I'm most definitely done with this entire thing, it's not worth the risk

 

As far as my keyholder is concerned, she's not quite fully decided on what she wants to do with me as far as orgasms are concerned. The only thing that's for certain is that she wants me permanently locked and as securely as possible in my daily life, which is why I've already discussed the PA piercing idea with her and she's super into it (to the point where she demands it).
The only reason why I haven't taken the first step towards it is because we are currently forced to be apart (I had to move countries due to my uni) and we agreed she would be present when I get my piercing done, since we consider it an important moment in our relationship.

So as soon as this issue is cleaned up and I'm able to be together with her again, I'll most definitely go down the road of getting a PA piercing.

I'm definitely able to control myself through her commands alone, but as you said, having a cage makes it psychologically easier (and harder at the same time ), but that's one of the important aspects for us as well.

 

Yes definitely, I never expected an actual Yes/No answer, and even if someone gave me one, I'd still doubt it.
I'll observe the situation a little bit more and most likely go to the doctor if anything changes.
