Simply, why?

. "that certain" intimacy that chastity enhances.

Yes that is it in a nutshell. The outside world doesn’t get it.

Long-term denial is better because it shows us, teaches us, men, a different way - a better way

Yes baby!

No worries about the very long post. You raise good and interesting points.

I like the idea of "togetherness" and the shared experience, The words "it works best for both of us" are true, aren't they?

Interesting too how you missed "that certain" intimacy and that there is a "strict version" or “chastity persona” to your keyholder. I wonder if I have have a different persona now compared to pre-chastity days. The answer must certainly be yes.

The serious elimination of self-pleasuring habits must surely be a positive for all caged males too. I like that, and that milking leaves you still ready but also frustrated.

Like you say, for us the cage is an “always on” thing now. Removed only when necessary, and when I say so.

Thanks for all your points.
I recognise many aspects of what goes on. The question of why is the most interesting of all though.

The smaller the cage the better...we have a very small cage coming in the mail.

The "smaller is better" is a good rule of thumb for finding the 'right' size in the first place I think.
Many fall into the trap that we did of believing the websites and getting something that easily accommodates a relaxed cock.

With more experience, there are benefits to squashing it into a smaller space.

I don't think it's quite as clear cut as "small as possible is absolute best" though and there are pros and cons to different cages.

Herbs is squashed into 2cm at the moment. He would say the downsides are having to take much more care when going for a pee and that it's not so easy to keep clean.

But the plus is that he is held tight and firmly in place, no movement, no stimulation, and I like that. I think it still frustrates but not in the same way?

His 3.8cm has different pros and cons (even though still smaller than his cock when relaxed).

So many things to take into account makes it difficult to decide on a 'best' I guess.

Of course things go into play..the smaller the better is based on the man and cage. Its what "suitable" and workable for him.

Thank you so very much for that. I am feeling like I have an opportunity to get back into your "good books". I'd like that very much

The question of why is the most interesting of all though.

It absolutely is.

I suppose the true answer is in the physiological make up of the male. The way our hormones react to not climaxing for an extended time.

From what I remember reading somewhere in the multitudinous posts, @KnownAsHerbert is about 25mm shorter than me in flaccid state. I'm around 85-90mm flaccid

The difference is that while he is young and fit, I am older and flabby. There is therefore a fair amount of fatty chunk around my cock, and fat doesn't squish like un-tumescent sponge. If I were to lose about 4 stone (56lbs to our non-metric friends) I may be able to squish into an HoD S99 Standard, but as it is only 32mm internal width, currently most of my shaft flab would squish up behind and stop me getting the prongs into the holes. And that is painful - I've tried it with the Bondage Masters model I purchased first (and yes, that one is about 25mm too long)

You can’t use stone and call it metric man!

Oh yeah!
