Outcomes
I made the decision to lock myself in a chastity cage because of excessive masturbation which was the cause of many neglects in everyday life and at work. Thinking about this moment of pleasure during the day, it caused lack of focus, delays, neglect of more important things in life and work that I left until the last minute. After the pleasure, I felt a sense of guilt due to lack of willpower and lack of self-denial due to giving in to temptation.
When I wear a chastity cage and the keys are locked in the box for a certain time, I know that there is no turning back and I have to stay in it, and pleasure is impossible. Then I focus on the things that I neglected through masturbation, I focus on the implementation of my intended goals and duties, which helps to suppress the frustration caused by the lack of pleasure. I am more attentive, productive, focused, which is also visible at work. Chastity also helps me to exercise willpower when the time of locking the keys ends. If I don't feel uncomfortable wearing the cage, which is becoming rarer, I try my best to resist the temptation to leave and extend the time I lock the keys.
Even though this is the beginning of my journey of being locked in a chastity, I don't regret making this decision because it has brought me many positive changes. And I am sure there will be even more when I give the keys to KH and am locked in 24/7.

I hope you’re aware that 24/7 caging with breaks only for cleaning is likely to result in damage to your penis and associated tissues. It is likely that the real outcome would be developing erectile dysfunction to some extent or another. If you let yourself have a full erection on a regular basis (monthly? Weekly?) it would greatly reduce this risk of damaging your body.
Conrad I am curious. Can you provide any evidence for this? Your claim seems plausible on its face but I am not aware of anything to back it up.
Since the health issue pops up regularly I have asked AI for medical evidence of problems that may arise due to chastity devices. Here is the answer:
Wearing a chastity device by men can potentially cause medical issues, depending on the duration of use, fit, and hygiene. However, there is no extensive clinical research specifically focused on the long-term medical effects of wearing such devices. Based on general medical knowledge, several potential risks can be outlined.
Possible medical problems:
Skin irritation and sores:
- Issue: Friction, pressure points, and prolonged contact of the chastity device with the skin can lead to irritation, blisters, and even open sores. Poor hygiene can worsen these conditions.
- Risk: If the device doesn’t fit properly or is worn for extended periods without breaks, these skin problems can become more severe, potentially leading to infections.
Infections:
- Issue: A chastity device can trap moisture and sweat, creating an ideal environment for bacterial and fungal growth, especially if hygiene is insufficient. This can lead to skin infections, fungal infections, or urinary tract infections (UTIs).
- Risk: UTIs can occur if access to the genital area is restricted, making personal hygiene more difficult.
Circulation problems:
- Issue: If the device is too tight, it can restrict blood flow to the penis. This can result in numbness, tingling, or, in extreme cases, tissue damage due to poor blood circulation.
- Risk: Long-term blood flow restriction can lead to serious tissue damage and may affect erectile function.
Serious erectile problems:
- Issue: While there’s no direct evidence that wearing a chastity device causes long-term erectile dysfunction, prolonged restriction of spontaneous erections could potentially affect blood circulation and penile health.
- Risk: If the device is worn regularly and for long durations, it may have a long-term impact on erectile function, though this has not been scientifically confirmed.
Psychological effects:
- Issue: For some men, wearing a chastity device may cause mental or emotional stress, especially if there’s no consent or alignment between partners.
- Risk: Psychological stress can indirectly lead to physical issues, such as sleep disturbances, anxiety, or depression.
Conclusion:
Although there is no strong scientific evidence that wearing a chastity device inherently causes severe medical issues, complications may arise under improper conditions (such as poor hygiene, improper fit, or prolonged use). The risk of medical problems increases if the device is too tight, hygiene is neglected, or the device is worn for extended periods without breaks.
It is important to maintain good hygiene, ensure proper fitting, and take regular breaks to allow the skin to recover when using such devices. If there is persistent discomfort or signs of irritation, medical advice should be sought.
Hope this may help
Padre I don't generally put a lot of stock in AI as a source of factual info, but everything hear seems like reasonable concerns, though all are also relatively easy to guard against.

I understand that wearing a chastity 24/7 can cause the damage you mentioned. I've read a lot about it and want to minimize this risk to a minimum so I decided not to jump into the deep end and give the keys to KH right away to be locked up 24/7.
I'm in the process of getting used to it and making sure that the cage I'm wearing is the right one so it self-locks at intervals I set, I often double check for skin damage, I take care of hygiene and maintenance and in case of discomfort (which happens rarely) or concerns, I take a break so the 24/7 locking won't happen right away.
But before it's time to lock up 24/7 and give the keys back, we need to agree on a locking policy with KH, including hygiene and controlled breaks for inspections for skin damage and whether I have erectile dysfunction.

As you said, the points seem justified even though they were generated by AI. The risk of damage is high, but it can be easily avoided.
Avery Since I've just started my experiment wearing a belt as a part of a relationship I can only hope we achieve the same result you folks did. I must admit his kind of WTF response to my proposing a contract makes me fear he is not really interested in the nature of our relationship (e.g. like the closeness you mention) beyond the sexual part of it.
Well, since this is the outcomes thread let me respond to my own post and report my outcome is I no longer have a boyfriend. This is OK whereas he does not have the kind of emotional attachment to me that I, or anyone else here, I dare say, would require.
The main point for this forum is I'm going back to a chaste lifestyle using the belt as an aid, so that's somewhat different than many here who are full-timers. I do think there is some value here of having someone here who proffers the belt as an assistance device only and, believe me, it has come in handy on numerous occasions.
Avery Sorry it didn't work out.

It's sad that it has turned out like this, but you have been given clarity. I think that's very important, because in the long term it's not good to be with someone even though you're not really compatible.

If you have the feeling that this is what you want, then do it.
I also see the CB as a great way to achieve your goals. It may help you when you have a weak time. Do you already have an idea of how you want to handle it? For example, do you want to use a time lock?
Joh It's sad that it has turned out like this, but you have been given clarity. I think that's very important, because in the long term it's not good to be with someone even though you're not really compatible.
Completely agree.
Joh I also see the CB as a great way to achieve your goals. It may help you when you have a weak time. Do you already have an idea of how you want to handle it? For example, do you want to use a time lock?
Let's say I see this as a kind of two-stage process.
First, trying to avoid weak times by doing things like showering in the swimmer's wetdown area where one could not touch oneself without risking discipline. Not drinking which weakens one's resistance, not going to places like bars where boys will approach you, no sexy undies which turns one's thoughts to sex, etc.
Second, keeping the belt handy at times when temptation presents itself, e.g. when showering alone is the only alternative, under the bed when the hands begin to wander at night.
I've not used things like a time lock, so far have managed with putting the belt on, locking it, putting the key in a public place like a flower pot on the mantel piece where my giving in would be obvious to anyone present.
A big plus is I WANT to do this so resisting temptation is easier then for those who are compelled to do it.
Also, as I have no boyfriend now I have no object for my desires to well up upon. How @Ines managed with a long-term boyfriend I can't imagine.

You have thought carefully about when it is a risk and how you can minimise it. Very good.

A CB is a good tool for precisely such situations. Your solution is certainly a good way, but there is a risk that someone could take the key. In this case, a box with a time lock is a safe way to store the key and then remove it in the morning.
If you want to give it a try, opt for a box that you can open with force if necessary. For the worst case situation.

Joh opt for a Boy that you can open with force if necessary.
Best typo possible in the context of a young woman who just reported a relationship not working out

Thanks for the tip, I'll keep it in mind. In a pinch, my Mother has a key (she also has a belt, though it is a sex toy and used for that purpose). I recall when my Dad was trying to quit smoking he'd leave the cigarettes in the car or the garage or something. It made it inconvenient to get a cigarette (one often lights up without thinking) and it made it obvious to everybody he was going out after one. With winter coming on soon having to go out in the cold to get the key (especially since I sleep naked or almost) would be a good discouragement.
