Does it hurt? Does it physically stop you getting an erection or do you train yourself to stop to avoid pain/discomfort?
Wearing a cage does not hurt if it is sized correctly. Actually, the tighter the cage the better it will be for heading off those nasty erections. The cage just tends to make one submissive to whoever holds the key to it.!
In the beginning there can be discomfort but after wearing it for a while your Willie decides it is home and is only comfortable while in the cage.
A cage has a greater psychological impact than physical. Knowing you no longer control your own sexual needs takes adjustment. Attempts are getting erect are more of a reminder of this loss of control than painful.
Well my cage is small, so I only swell up a bit, but i do think I still try to have same amount of erections. They just fail to get very far. For example, i always get a early morning attempt with or without cage. But if i'm properly caged, it is just a short reminder that i no longer have permission to become fully erect. That only some swelling and tightness are allowed.
The best way I can describe it is: take your index finger. Let it "hang" downwards like a penis. Now "encase" it with your other hand--while not altering the shape of your "hanging penis". Now try to extend your index finger (cock) without allow it to by your other hand. If you only mildly try to extend your finger, it doesn't hurt. If you try with all of your might to overcome the strength of your entire hand with one finger, it will hurt. That's what being caged feels like.
another example: if you've ever done leg extensions (while seated) at the gym using far too much weight. Your quadriceps contract attempting to extend your leg, but you cannot.
Cheers everyone, I really appreciate the responses. I do get that it’s a psychological thing, I was curious about the physical perspective. I think I get it, brilliantly described
Eventually, the body sees this effort to become erect as futile and no longer tries as hard to become erect.
Speak for yourself! After 7 years of being locked my penis still tries to get hard. And it is wonderfully prevented from do so! I think it proves that my brains aren't in my cock, it would have learnt not to bother if they were!
After a LOT of trial and error with different cage designs/shapes/sizes, I'll try to explain how it 'feels' once I wound up with a properly fitting cage... This is kind of a good way to describe 'it'... For me, my cage is the same 'size' as my flacid penis. That said, when relaxed, there is just enough room to pass a q-tip in from the front to dry things out.. When at all aroused, and 'cage swelling' occurs, there is no room. It doesn't hurt at all, just doesn't 'go anywhere', and 'quashes' any chance at an 'erection'... Even with the right kind and amount of stimulation, it feels like 'he' is being squeezed from all directions. In a way, it's like the opposite of pain or hurting. The 'squeezing' is just an un-yielding pressure back on what is trying to swell up and break free from the confines of the cage. It's a very physical 'feeling', but it's also where a physical thing crawls up in my head and fuels the mental side of chastity. At that point, the feeling becomes a security, or comfort thing... Then, it circles back to the physical and I enjoy the pressure created by the walls of the cage... The discomfort and 'pain' associated with chastity for me isn't inside the cage, but underneath it. When my scrotum tries to shrink in reaction to my bits being trapped, that tends to 'hurt'.. A little skin shifting/tugging/realigning and that relaxes things. This is part of chastity 'maintenance' and just part of the deal... Hope that helps answer the question?
It can't get as hard or for long without stimulation, and it goes down quicker if the stimulation stops. When I get an erection out of chastity it reaches a point where I have to play with it until i come. In chastity I never get to that point without continued teasing. It is usually comfortable when flaccid but cold sometimes can make me need to adjust myself. Just over 7 weeks and I feel naked without it
It's most definitely physical! Most of us are used to being aroused and becoming partially or fully erect a few times per day and becoming fully erect several times per night. Our erections are as natural as eating and enliven us, they all feel so good and make me ready to cum. Now, in my small tight cage, they are all thwarted, and the bars of the cage tease the penis and make him throb, reminding him of his desire, the throbbing itself being and replacing the former pleasure of erection. And then the loss of my erection becomes psychological, opens the mental doorway to my submissiveness.
It stops me getting erect, and it hurts when I try to! Mainly due to my device being spiked in the inside! So any unauthorised hardons are punished instantly.
The cage feels like someone holding onto your package the whole day. A firm and tight grip. At the same time it feels like a cage as it should be, to prevent touching and growing, more in the mind than bodywise. I must say, caged feels better...
I can't say you'd never notice it wasn't there, but after a while it becomes second nature. Like a plaster on your finger or something. You're aware but it doesn't really bother you.
When it is cold, it can be a bit uncomfortable due to the testicles attempting to pull up into the body. For the most part, if a guy can do a week comfortably, he can do a month. If he can do a month, he can do 3. That said, it is still good to look for abrasions that can still form from it just being on a long time. Once he gets comfortable in it, in time, he will forget about not having it on (at least that is true for me). I never wanted to have to get used to my releases in the cage...but most of them are now this way...and I am used to it.
For me...Wearing a cage never hurt. When my Wife(KH) teases me while I'm caged, it's uncomfortable but doesn't hurt. Same at night when you get the night time hard on, most times it will wake me up, but I just let it get soft and go back to sleep...
For me, it commands obedience. When I know that she is using it as a "middle man" in our spectrum, I feel as if truly owned by her. As if she is leading me about by her will and nothing else. That she alone decides the if, when, and how... As if I have given it as my cursed little kinky gift, to do with as she chooses, and on her timeline. It's the giveaway of power. That really does it for me.
I equate wearing a cage to having a cast on after a fracture. There are days when it’s one on your arm, you only notice it when you reach for something or have to use both hands. Then it’s like one on your leg, every step you take it’s there, every time you try to get comfortable in bed the sheets are catching. then one days it’s removed and you feel vulnerable......
