Back to my (current) home built: After looking at many devices online, and trying to figure out how they were put together, I came up with my own design. It's really amazing what a fellow can do with a polypropylene cutting board (for the main ring), some plastic pipe from Home Depot, some nylon screws and nuts (for the alignment "pins" and spacers - also from Home Depot), and a 5/16" steel pin. Those materials, and a few ordinary (and not so ordinary) home workshop tools, and I was in business. The device is quite comfortable, and while I COULD pull out if I really wanted to, it would probably be tough, and I really don't want to anyhow.I have been a "lurker" on various chastity forums for about a year now, and have had a greater and greater desire to have my wife of 26 years keep me in chastity for about two years. It was only recently that I settled on this forum as the one whose members and discussions most closely align with my own desires. I first thought about chastity just over two years ago, and began exploring it more carefully (as I said) about 2 years ago, when I built my first chastity device (I am way too cheap, and was way too scared to spend money for something that I might not like). My home-built went through many modifications in the first year, and I finally settled (comfortably I might add) on what I wear today.
It was a secret I kept very closely.
About a month ago, I "came out" to my wife - the beautiful but very sexually conservative love of my life. While not overly enthusiastic about my fetish, she was not very opposed either; sort of "vanilla in the middle" I suppose. We're at the point where she is willing to hold my key (she keeps it hidden), but always lets me out about every 3 days to "play." I absolutely love going down on her and telling her that there is "no obligation" to go further - she holds the key.
It was about 10 days ago that she asked me what I wanted for Christmas. Having done my research, and knowing all of my measurements from having built my own device, I told her that I wanted a JailBird from Mature Metal. I even sent her all my measurements, and sent her the link to the MM site. She has already told me that she's ordered the JailBird for me, and my fervent wish is that it arrive before Christmas Eve so my wife can "give me my Christmas present" on Christmas Eve. I'm counting the minutes, but in a previous eMail conversation with MM, they told me that there was a significant backlog of orders (I guess I'm not the only one, huh?) and that the "welder elves" were working very hard to catch up. I guess I can still hope.
So here's what it looks like:
