a few novice questions

[nervous newb]

Thanks for the interesting posts. I don't know how you folks go so dang long between orgasms! I recently went the longest between than I have since I hit puberty. Had one Wednesday night and then Saturday afternoon. That's a record for me. That was about 70 hours! Now, I've spent over 20 years conditioning my body to have 10 orgasms a week, this last full week I had 3, so I feel like that's a statically significant reduction in a very short time (We've only had the cage on with her in full control for 12 days, so we're just starting our journey.) I do seem to be able to go longer in between orgasms now without discomfort before stuff starts to make me extremely uncomfortable. So we're ditching the cheap $15 Chinese knockoff of the CB6ks and getting the HT V2 short. She's and I also feel like we need to keep teasing at a minimum until I can last longer between orgasms than she can and be modestly comfortable. Ordered up the HT V2 today (Monday), if it's here by Friday I know it'll go on Friday night for a full weekend test. Hopefully with some adaptation by my body to NOT having orgasms whenever/wherever/whyever I want and with a better quality device, I can start to last a little longer and my wife won't have to give me orgasms out of pity for how uncomfortable I am. I know her monthly cycle will start middle of next week, so I'm hoping to be able to last through that without dying. So as for now, my longest lockup has been 3 days using most people's definition as "time between full orgasms." If we go without tomorrow night, then that'll be 4 days.
Good advice from LockedSteve to go slow and try to gradually increase the period of denial.

Good move. This gadget is going to be locked around a very sensitive and important part of your anatomy. You don't want to go cheap!

Good luck with the HT. I have said harsh words about plastic devices on this board, but that doesn't mean they won't work fine for you -- everybody is different.

Also, of the three plastic devices I tried, CB-6000, Bon4-Silicone, and HT, the Trainer was by far the best!

As days go by, I get a constant feeling that I need to pee, I would assume this is due to my prostrate filling up.

Actually that is more likely the start of a urinary tract infection. Fortunately men have a much easier time getting rid of a UTI than women do. http://www.drugs.com/cg/urinary-tract-i ... n-men.html

A swollen prostate, restricting the urethra can result in increased frequency due to the bladder not being completely emptied, the same can occur due to restriction of the main ring of ball-trap devices, add them together. As well, arousal and leakage of pre-seminal fluid can also produce the sensation, add that too.

A UTI is caused by bacteria. If one is keeping clean, avoiding sex with [potentially] infected persons (chlamydia and gonorrhea being the two most common causes), and avoiding unprotected anal sex (risk of e. choli entering the urethra) then the risk should be low. If one is concerned that a UTI may be present, collect and observe the urine. The presence of a UTI will typically be indicated by the urine having a cloudy appearance, untreated it will progress to being dark and/or bloody. The physical sensation is not merely a 'need', but an *urgency*, the feeling that if you don't go soon you will lose control. Often this may be accompanied by a feeling of pain and/or a 'burning' sensation when you go.

If one has the above combination of symptoms, see a medical professional and have it diagnosed/confirmed as soon as possible. A simple test can confirm the presence of bacteria and infection, and determine the *type* of bacteria causing the infection- which is important because if it is chlamydia or gonorrhea then it is likely that one or more partners is infected as well (*somebody* gave it to you) and they need to be notified and treated.

Earlier treatment is better. The longer an infection goes untreated the more difficult it is to eradicate, and more potent drugs must be used- some of these drugs come with their own set of potentially severe side-effects which may be unpleasant, long-term, and/or present additional health risks (Levofloxacin is particularly onerous, with a significant risk of tendon damage remaining for up to several months after the drug is discontinued, as well as potential for heart problems and a number of other undesirable effects). If you think you have a UTI, do not wait to get treated, it WILL NOT go away on its own. An untreated UTI can spread to the bladder, and then to the kidneys...at which point it may be exceedingly difficult to treat and could potentially result in death.

NOTE: The three types of bacteria noted above are not the only possible causes, merely the most common. In people with compromised immune systems, other types of bacteria such as TB may also cause a UTI. In addition, becoming severely dehydrated can result in the bacteria normally present and normally controlled by the body to become unbalanced and out of control, resulting in a UTI (personal experience here).

NOTE: Antibiotics are indiscriminate killers, and your body *needs* certain types of bacteria for normal functions. High-powered antibiotics such as Levofloxacin, Ciprofloxacin and others (cephalosporins and Clindamycin) cause massive destruction of bacteria, including the 'good' bacteria, which can result in unbalanced conditions, particularly in the GI tract. Some bacteria may recover faster than others, in particular c. difficile, which is naturally highly prevalent in the environment and which can form spores that are heat and acid resistant, and are not killed by alcohol-based sanitizers or routine surface cleaning, as well as being resistant to the fluoroquinolone antibiotics (Cipro/Levo). A c. difficile infection is highly contagious and highly toxic and hard to kill.

Bottom line: if you think you have a UTI, get it treated ASAP. Do not delay, do not fuck around, it will only get worse.

Good information above. I've had two UTI scares, once before the chastity play and one during. The first one was incorrectly diagnosed and I was treated with a powerful antibiotic that hurt me pretty bad for a long time. ciprofloxicin(?). The second worried me but ended up being nothing. I believe it's usually a swollen prostate and arousal and the restriction building pressure and swelling everything over time.

Just saying it's probably not a UTI and you definitely don't want to over treat something with powerful meds. But If you are worried definitely get it checked cuz a UTI is potentially dangerous. And like above said, the earlier you treat it the better

Good to know. I had been told that it was likely caused by the pre-cum fluid remaining in my urethra and not draining out which was possibly creating an environment for bacteria to form. I definitely experience it when the pre-cum is just leaking on its own, but that sensation of needing to urinate can exist when nothing is leaking out too. Though I guess it could be leaking into the tube, just not enough to actually leak out of it too.
