To All:

Thank you again for your helpful suggestions. Yesterday I purchased a Bird Cage from Extreme Restraints for my husband. It's on sale there for $79, so I think it's an economical place to start. I don't think I've ever seen my husband so excited (and horny)! The sex was great and he was very enthusiastic when worshipping my cooter. Afterward I let him stroke himself off to release. Is there a recommended method for cleaning a metal cage, especially when new? Is warm soap & water good enough, or should I use something stronger?

Warm regards,

Alex

P.S. That's the two of us in the photo.

Alex,
The device is made from stainless steel. You could drop it into a pot of boiling water for initial sterilization. After that, a thorough soaping in the shower should suffice. If you wish for him to clean it without removal, I recommend the purchase of some foam tipped swabs. Qtips just won't cut it for cleaning. You may choose to unlock him in the shower for a supervised cleaning, then immediately reinstall. I am not allowed to shower unlocked because I tend to engage in self help if unsupervised. You will quickly find what works for the two of you.

Dear Wishful,

Thank you. Boiling it in water sounds like a good idea. It's bad enough having to wash all the fruit I buy at the grocery store, so I can only imagine that these cages are not cleaned at the factory. I require my husband to be clean shaven all over, so the cage will need to come off every so often so that he can shave. I don't want any grime or bad odors.

I am looking forward to the new cage! Last night I told my husband that perhaps I will lock him up for a week and his face turned white. I was only kidding, but don't tell him that! After reading about the difficulty that many have with sleeping and that my husband sometimes has trouble sleeping now anyway, I think I'll put it on for a few hours during the day and see how it goes. I can't wait to poke him through the metal bars! I received an email that the cage has been shipped, so it shouldn't be long.

Warm regards,

LRC has long nails. She will place them against me through the bars and lightly move up and down. Being inside the devise makes me sensitive anyways and I get very aroused with this touch. It's never enough to produce an orgasm but it definitely raises my hornyness level!

She will also move her finger tips like she's tapping her fingers on a desk. This feels like needles and most of the time I will beg her to stop. Yeah, right, she doesn't.

If he has never worn a device before, the only problem you will likely contend with is some irritation and abrasion from the base ring around the scrotum. This is somewhat tender skin and takes some time to get used to the ring. I recommend short periods locked followed by a time out, then on to longer periods. Use some lube at the beginning only if necessary with the eventual goal of using no lube at all. Believe it or not, it will be more comfortable without lube once the skin has toughened up.

The first night of wearing will result in some lost sleep getting acclimated to the device, but he will eventually get used to it and sleep normally. It seems, for me, that overnight is the most comfortable wearing time. I have more comfort issues during the daytime than at night. It is different for everyone. I encourage you to take ownership of the device and have him be honest and tell you about his wearing issues and help him through them. That way, when you decide on a period of lockup, you will know that he can comply with no problems.

Dear Wishful4,

Thank you for your advice. Would Eros silicon lube be good to use with the base ring? We have used this for years with our rubber clothing and it is very slippery and does not dry out like water-based lubes. It also doesn't cause any yeast infections for me!

What is a typical amount of time to start and how long should it be off? I am thinking of putting it on him during the day, especially if I am not with him, to deter him from doing something he shouldn't be doing. I am less concerned about night time, since he is always with me, but it could be exciting to wake up and see him already in the cage.

"I encourage you to take ownership of the device and have him be honest and tell you about his wearing issues and help him through them.

LOL - I own his cock and balls, but this is going to provide an extra level of control and excitement for me. Click!

Alex,

Although I've never used it, I suspect Eros lube should be fine. I just use Aveeno moisturizing lotion. As far as the typical initial lockup time, it's different for every wearer. I'm sure he will let you know when he had had enough time in the cage the first few times. Actually, it is the base ring around the scrotum that will cause the most discomfort from time to time. As wearing time increases, the scrotum will become more used to the ring and will toughen up a bit. Let us know how it goes.

I use Carmex Healing lotion. They sell it at Walgreen's. My base ring has a very rough side that abrades my scrotum if dry, but with this, I can sleep overnight like a baby. Sometimes I have to re-apply the lotion several times.

This is a worst-case scenario btw for a wearable device, and I still manage to make it work.

To get an idea for base ring size, be creative. Pottern Barn sells curtain rods that have ring hangers that are very large gauge and have perfect polished finishes (this makes it more comfortable), and they are exactly 1.5" diameter. Home Depot sells stainless steel rings of various sizes, however, I usually find the welding poor, and any unpolished weld spots are going to cause irritation. You can still use them for sizing however. Generally you want the best comfortable fit that you can wear, get aroused in, and not be in terrible pain. Be careful going too small. Any numbness, coldness, blue / black testicles or extreme pain is not normal, and should be taken off immediately.

To All:

The new device arrived on Friday, just in time for the weekend! It was packed in a small felt bag and I was immediately impressed with how nice it looked. It is nicely made and is smooth and shiny. I boiled it in water and let it air dry on the island in the kitchen, in full view of my husband. I could tell he was very excited, but I only commented on how nice it looked and said absolutely nothing about when I might start using it. We stayed at home Friday night and watched a movie and I saw him glancing at it every time he went to the kitchen, but I purposely said nothing. I think he was going crazy inside, but he knew better than to say anything. He went to bed with me early on Friday and his cock was fully hard, but we were not intimate. Just before dozing off, I told him "Sweet dreams..."

On Saturday I had plans to visit a girl friend in the afternoon, so after lunch, I took my husband and the device upstairs to our bedroom. I quickly realized that I would not be able to get the base ring on by myself and had my husband put it on. I was just not comfortable getting his balls through the ring. Once the base ring was on, he had a raging hard on, so it took several bags of ice and calming him down and several attempts to get the cage on. Every time I would try to put the cage on he would start getting hard and I couldn't get it onto the pins. Finally after talking about finishing our taxes and putting some of the silicon lube on this cock I was able to get it to slide into the cage. Eventually I was able to press it down onto the pins and put on the lock. <Click> I don't think I've ever seen my husband so excited! This device is absolutely lovely, lovely, lovely and I love the way his cock presses out through the bars when I gently caress him and whisper into his ear.

He wore the device all afternoon and into the evening on Saturday. I left the keys at home in plain view in case he needed out, but there were no problems! He was able to complete his chores and even took the dog on a three mile walk with no issues. We went to bed early and I had him pleasure me orally. He was very enthusiastic and I had two wonderful orgasms with him in the cage. Afterward I turned on my side and had him spoon behind me. I could feel the cage up against me and it was nice to not have to worry about his release. We laid like this a while without talking and I wanted him to think he was going to wear it all night! After a while, I turned the light back on and removed the lock. He was hard and I had a hard time getting the cage off his cock. It took several attempts at pulling the cage off and he had to remove the base ring himself because I couldn't get it off. After the device was off, he actually asked for a release! Can you believe that! Needless to say, we went to sleep with no release for him, but I think he was hard all night.

Sunday morning we walked the dog and ran some errands and after lunch and a shower I put the device back on him. As before, he had to put on the base ring and it took several bags of ice and several attempts before I could get the cage on. We went shopping and had a late afternoon glass of wine at a cafe and he wore the cage the entire time. I even had him try on a pair of slacks at Nordstrom. That was entertaining! We bought a silver chain for the key and he put it around my neck, which was nice. I am now a keyholder!

Last night we went to bed early and I again had him service me orally. He was again very enthusiastic and I had several orgasms. He didn't dare ask to have the device removed or for a release. But, I decided it was the right time. Afterward I had him lie on his back and I unlocked the device and removed the cage. As before, it was very hard to get off because he was hard and I had him remove the ring. I then tied him spread eagle to the bed and stroked him to a wonderful release. He was shaking all over and crying out and then came a lot. He had not had a release for three days, so there was a lot. We talked about the experience and how it was for him to wear the device. He said that when his mind wandered and his cock swelled in the cage, it felt like I was gripping his cock and balls! Simply lovely!

My opinion so far is that I absolutely love this device! I love the fact that he can wear it out under his clothes and while doing everyday activities. So far he has not had any chaffing or sore spots. We did use the silicon lube around the base ring and some on his cock to get it into the cage. He also used some baby powder before we went out. He has to put the base ring on himself, but it doesn't affect the dynamic. I enjoy telling him to put it on. I already told my husband that we will be taking the device on vacations and that he will be wearing it underneath his bathing suit and his clothes.

Most importantly, when in the cage, he was the complete gentleman and very attentive to all of my needs, exactly like you read on the Internet. I finally feel that I really own his cock and balls and they will learn discipline! There will be no more masturbating when I am not there. Just as it should be! What a lovely device! He has already learned to not ask me when he can have the device on or off, or when he can have a release. That is my decision now! I have not yet had it on overnight, but we will see. This has been a most interesting beginning!

Warm regards,
