They spanked me, like they always did when we misbehaved. I also wasn't allowed any release until they were sure I was "not addicted to masturbation anymore".
Neither Jake or I wanted to be locked. I agreed just because I knew that I needed it. Of course, since I shared a room with Jake at home, he could see that I'm locked and knew very well he would end like me if he masturbated too much.
Unfortunately for him, given his relationships with girls, our parents wouldn't allow him to move out to study elsewhere unless he was caged.
Robin once mentioned that he was allowed at the end of each semester, but that was more than a year ago. Although we talk about our cages sometimes, we don't discuss that at all.
At least for me and Jake, it's not about being denied any relief completely. After all, normal masturbation is not unhealthy. The problem is when the masturbation starts to interfere with your normal activities or there's possibility that you could have sex. That's why we're caged. But maybe you have different opinion this?
My bf is a year older, he's 20. He isn't caged and I'm fine with that just like he's fine (and actually helps me) with me staying locked.
