Been feeling very vanilla recently and had nothing to do with kink or chastity for a few months. Did my longest periods locked though towards the end of the year, 11 days in October and 14 days in November! I had an online keyholder online, she lives close but work abroad most of the time, who was very experienced and encouraging. However I wasn’t able to get on with my life and found the whole experience very very distracting to the point I couldn’t think about anything else. Far from what some chaste boys report of freedom to put all their energy to other things they love in life. I’m sure if I had a partner, who was into locking me I would continue. Not sure if I should continue or to leave the whole thing behind me.
All depends on what you are trying to achieve. Even without a KH you can use this as a way to change your own behaviors. 11 and 14 days seems like a lot but you may need to go longer to find the point to which you are no longer distracted by the cage. Mine is on 24/7 and I barely know it is there most of the time. That first 2-3 weeks were insane but eventually it worked out. Good luck.
