Symbolic? Or Actual Masturbation Deterrent?

I think the device is a deterrent. I am currently free and on the honor system. But what keeps me from cheating is being truthful to my love and why she would do to my penis If she was unhappy

 

Chastity devices are only a partial deterrent. Non-pierced guys can usually pull out under given conditions. Unpierced guys can usually hold a vibrator to the cage. Even full steel belts have been defeated by powerful vibrators, especially if the guy is aroused enough.

What keeps these devices working is the "willing suspension of disbelief." Most of us reading this presumably want to be kept denied because we find it to be fun, for different reasons. To make it more fun, we run a script in our head that tells us that the device is inescapable or can't be defeated. Our satisfaction with our lives is based on how much our real life lines up with this script.

I'm not pierced. In a hot, soapy shower, I can pull out. But I have mental and emotional reasons for not doing so. One of which is that I'm not going to break a 3+ year long streak. But also, at 62, I'm a grown adult, and I've had over 20 years experience being locked up, and I'm able to resist a little temptation.

 

My device is a pretty good deterrent. It’s very difficult to get back in after pulling out. So yes, I could pull out and cum, but it’s really hard to get back in correctly - so any inspection and I’d be caught, besides the discomfort on being not correctly situated in there.
I can come from a magic wand, but all the other vibes just feel good but I can’t quite get there. As such, I’ve told my goddess to lock up the magic wand from me.

 

I have zero self-control without the cage, so chastity serves as a pretty good deterrent. It's nice to have it as a reminder any time I'm tempted to fiddle with myself.

 

I have not cheated the honor system but she really likes me in CK Micro cage.

I have gone months without masturbation on honor system but the micro removes the option and I wear it for her.

Currently masturbation at her direction has failed to climax. The only orgasm was a failed one after she rode me externally rubbing me off and only then with her attention to my breasts and nipples. She stopped all motion as I started creating I guess my first ruined orgasm. Told me then that would take care of me for a year or more. With a grin and chuckle.

 

It doesn't keep you from masturbating - unless you want it to, that is. It just keeps you from masturbating in the traditional, enjoyable way as with a full erection and contact with your penis. What I mean by that is, if you really want to, you can pull, twist or vibrate the cage enough to come... in most cases I think. Not all, but most cases. Is it the same? No. But can you get off? Sure.

Of course there will be people who tell you they can't get off that way, and that's probably true, but that's not my point. My point it is that your can still "masturbate" in some way regardless.

 

For me definently a symbol. I would remain chaste for her regardless. She has the control of my orgasmic options which is what we both want.

 

For me, it's a mostly symbolic deterrent, although the cage does prevent the "It's 2am and I can't get back to sleep, maybe a quick wank would help" wanking.

It can certainly be both.

As I like to say, a wedding ring is also symbolic. How well does that work?

 

When I am horny, I feel submissive so can't take off the device. When I'm not horny, I am submissive so don't want to.

 

Both.

 

For me it is both.

Before my near death at the hands of COVID I was in the honor system. I was under control with my will alone.

After the experience, I just could stop myself.

I bought a cage to get to stop.

I am addicted to the endorphin rush and I need help.

I promised myself and my Wife I would do this.

However, the more I wear it, the more of a symbol it is becoming.

So for me it started out as a deterrent and over the last few weeks it has transformed into a symbol of my promise and commitment.

Iso.

 

Same thing here. But I need a lot of strength of mind in some occasions and I feel that my cage is not enough.

As @Tom Allen said, it's both for me too. But more as a deterrent.

If I had a bad day at work or anger with my wife, masturbation at home in front of the computer is a strong relaxation. So it has to be a strong deterrent.

Other days, I take of my cage for shaving, fully horny with fully control of myself. I guess those days would be more symbolic as without cage I would be ok.

So I'm completely unpredictable. Having it 24/7 is the way to go.

Even if it can be defeated too, I would feel way more deterrent with a PA.

 

Device is sufficient not to masturbate. No device means temptations which become more difficult to resist. My biggest issue is when wearing the cage on and off. Most often my Love prefers unrestricted access during the night, so wearing my cage 12-18 hours a day. When getting awake it is then difficult not to touch and I should put on the cage before showering..... When wearing my cage 24/7, the morning wood in the cage is directly remembering my place and no desire to touch at all.

 

Locks keep honest people honest, and are therefore, symbolic. Locks are no deterrent to those who would bypass them.

If one doesn't wish chastity, what is one doing there?

If one does wish chastity, what is one doing attempting to escape or bypass the illusion?

 

Currently: a symbol. Future: Deterrent.
At the moment I am unlocked. It's way to easy for me to pull out and cheat. Though I have resisted that temptation in the past, I don't want it to even be an option anymore. Honestly, I don't want to put the cage back on until I'm pierced.

 

I cheated one time inside my cage. That destroyed everything in my mind about my chastity. I was very sad.

I gave it a break until I kind of reset my mind.

Now I'm back but eventually, I want a PA too.

 

I've cheated with the cage on too. Using the wife's wand, I was able to orgasm fairly easily. Soon, that wasn't an option for me anymore either. The toys were locked in a box and only the wife knows the combination to the lock.

 

I'd say for me, the cage is both -

Its symbolic of my commitment to my wife that she is the focus of my sexual energy, not myself.

Its a deterrent only to the extent that it makes being horny bearable. Prior to wearing a cage, I could only go 3-5 days without an orgasm as the hornyness would mess with my sleeping and rubbing one out helped me sleep better. With the cage on, this is less an issue. My brain knows that there is something attached that prevents stimulation so the overriding urge subsides.

I am still on "the honor system" to an extent, I have the key in my bedside draw, the cage is removed every 2-3 days for gym and shaving. Mrs Sen is still unphased by the cage, take it or leave it, but is entertaining my desire to be chaste and is enjoying extra intimacy too.

 

It’s a Symbolic Deterrent.

It is a symbol of her trust, and control. That deters me from unauthorized access.

 

Actually for me
With a belt and front plate added to cage can't pull out and can't shake manipulate cage to cum

Wand can do it but not pleasant
Wife has locked wand away anyway

I cum only when she desires and that's rarely and always in the cage.
The pens pulses, nothing comes , and then finally a dribble
Not very satisfying but I'll take it
