Looking for Those Who Have Moved From Birdlocked to Metal....

Hi,

Yes I could not agree more - BirdLocked is great for not having to much pain when penis is trying to get hard (during the day or night). Like you said if you want to get out of it you just need a pair of scissors and off it is. I for one would never take it off if my KeyHolder would not allow it. But you always know that you can set yourself free if you want and this is the down side of Birdlocked. Other than that for me is a great CD.

This is why my KeyHolder and me just recently went for a full metal device. The main difference is that in one way it offers more comfort and in other it offers it waaaay less. More comfort I experienced with the "ring" part of device. BirdlLocked is kind of wide in this part, so just a solid metal ring around the penis and the balls is much much more comfortable than the "base ring" of the BirdLocked. The way less comfort side is the cage - the sensation is not like you said like gripped by a firm hand but it a solid sensation. I love the feeling of penis trying to get fully errect and presses on every corner of the metal cage. It hurts a bit, but in a good way - this I have not expirenced with the BirdLocked. One more thing I realy like about my metal cage is that I do not need to take the CD off to firmly clean the device and penis. We bought a spiral model so this makes it easy to clean.

I think that the silicon / plastic devices are good for first time users, but when you think you are ready to step to the next level - metal is the way to go.

 

Ask yourself whether metal would be more of a psychological DETERRENT or whether you want a metal device because you find the idea of wearing one more AROUSING. Then ask yourself whether or not you NEED more of a physical DETERRENT. Are you *really* worried about cutting yourself out of the $150 device your keyholder placed you in?

Furthermore, if you're practicing what I'd consider to be reasonably sane and safe chastity (something I'm sure many people don't do), and you are wearing a metal device, you should have access to a key in the event of some kind of emergency. So there goes that increased level of physical deterrence. In fact, there's a good argument in favor of silicone here. Sane and safe chastity in silicone doesn't require you to have access to a key. If you must, you can always ruin the device.

The reasons you gave strike me as poor ones for trying to justify a metal device. Of course, there are plenty of *other* reasons for which one might want a metal device. And if it will turn you or your partner(s) on more, and you want that, that's a fine reason. But I can't see selling this reason under the label of increased psychological deterrent if one is safe and sane.

 

I should add to the above that anyone with access to a hardware store (or who owns a couple of standard tools) can be out of most metal devices in a matter of seconds. It's trivial to cut your PA chain. And it's almost as trivial to cut a padlock.

 

I haven't made the switch (can't afford it), but from what I've read (and I've read quite a lot), a custom metal device is the peak of comfort. There's a problem with getting a custom metal device, however. You need to know the measurements (among other things). And that seems to require most folks a lot of trial and error (and a lot of money). In this game, the perfect fit is HARD to come by cheaply. For now, I'll be sticking with my Birdlocked.

 

The main issue that we need to remember is that if you are thinking of taking the device off without the permisson of the KeyHolder than there is something wrong. Keep in mind, that you must have a set of rules that you have to obey no matter what. That said I never did take off the BirdLocked or my Steel cage without explicit approval of my KeyHolder or based on the rules wich me and my KeyHolder have both agreed in our Chastity contract. I have access to the emergency key all the time, but I would never use it in other purpose than just that - emergency.

Like IWalkTheLine said custom metal devices or a metal device that feets you perfectly is a peak of comfort. For a true custom metal device you will have to pay a "bit" more than for any other device but it will be a blessing for comfort. I have now a choice to wear the BirdLocked or Steel but I stick to steel since comfort level is much better and the cleaning in way less hussle. And the one more thing I like about the steel device is that they alow for to skin to breathe and you are not fully coverd like in the BirdLocked.

 

thats just silly, why get your Mistress to lock you up if after She has you gonna break it off. you might as well not been locked up anyway.

 

I think you misread my post.

 

well if i have, im sorry. :spank:
