I thought recently about how this all started and I am wondering how many here began on the honor system? We began this way until my KH was confident that I could go awhile without cumming and be trusted. Once we moved to enforced chastity and found the right cage, my KH said she knew the first night I slept comfortably in my device that I was going to be wearing one regularly. In the end, my KH wanted me to prove that I was serious about accepting my loss of orgasms before she wanted me to wear a cage. I had to earn my cage through showing her I could accept being a chaste husband. Did most here end up earning their cage?
I think you're probably pretty atypical. True many prove that they prefer chastity, but usually with the aid of a cage from the start. Glad you persevered to get one.
Cage came first for us. At first the duration of wearing was measured in hours so it was really more of a sexual toy than a true chastity device. I'd say I earned my way into longer term denial via my attitude improvement.
