Lion and I have this “witty” repartee whenever we see a Viagra commercial. The commercial says to ask your doctor if your heart is healthy enough for sex. Then Lion says his heart is healthy enough and I say it’s too bad he can’t have any sex since he’s locked away. Hey, I warned you it was “witty”. It’s just an example of the silliness that goes on at our house.

We spent yesterday trying to work on our lawn tractor. According to one of our thermometers that sits in direct sunlight, it was 101 degrees. We were melting into the pavement. I’d like to say that if we still lived in NY we would be used to more heat, but I think we’d be hiding indoors there too. We’ve just become more accustomed to the Northwest’s cooler temperatures. We retreated into the air conditioned house and relaxed.

Lion got himself into trouble for interrupting me. Twice. I really, really hate that. So he got his butt swatted. Hard. And it wasn’t even punishment night. He doesn’t like getting punished. He doesn’t like when I remind him that he asked for it. He actually argued a little about it last night. He gave in quickly though. He knows he asked for punishment. He just doesn’t like it when it happens.

The other day, Lion said he was sure he would have an orgasm. I was getting him closer and closer to one and then I stopped. I told him it wasn’t his night. Last night was. Lately he’s been questioning me when I give him an orgasm. “Why did you do that?” he’ll ask. It makes me wonder if he really wants one. I know he likes to wait. I also know he likes to have orgasms. This time I didn’t edge him. I just went for the gold. He asked why there was no lead up. I said there must have been. Otherwise he wouldn’t have come. I did start out slow and build from there. I just didn’t edge him first. Sometimes you just can’t please a Lion. I know he was happy to come. It’s just odd to me that he questions things afterwards. (Not that he needs to stop doing it.)

I was also thinking last night that we haven’t played Zapardy in a while. Sometime this week I’ll have him strap on the shock collar for some fun. Since he’s home all day, I told him it would be cheating if he watched Jeopardy earlier in the day from our east coast feed so he’d know the answers. He promised he won’t. Last time we played he only got zapped twice. Let’s see if he can beat that.

chinese chastity device
The Chinese A89 chastity device is very similar to the Jail Bird for only $30 USD

I’ve noticed that my recent posts are about the current state of our FLR/enforced chastity marriage. Sharing our progress is one of the main reasons we are writing. To help people who want information about a specific aspect of all this, we have our static pages. You can see the list of these if you mouse over the topic bar on the top of this page. Along with that, I like to see if there are more options available to people who want to try out enforced chastity.

Most newcomers spend a great deal of time thinking about chastity devices. I certainly did when I thought about asking Mrs. Lion to lock me up. One of the most significant challenges is finding a device that can be worn comfortably. Almost everyone who decides to continue being caged over the long term buys a custom-made device. A bespoke chastity device should be completely comfortable without the need for any lube or other help. My Jail Bird feels so comfortable, I often forget it is there. I wear it 24/7. It only comes off when Mrs. Lion wants access to my penis. Then, when she is done, it goes back on again.

Custom devices cost north of $300. It generally takes at least a month between ordering and delivery. Most beginners want something right away that costs significantly less. If you’ve been reading about chastity devices you know about the CB6000 and similar plastic devices. There is also a range of off-the-shelf metal devices that are made in China. These devices cost under $50 as a rule. Amazon lists some too, but these products are the same Chinese devices at a substantial markup.

I was unable to find one of these devices I could wear long without a lot of pain. Each one has significant structural issues that end up causing pain. There may be a solution at hand. DHGate, a Chinese site, offers many products shipping directly from China. One of the suppliers has a new model device, the A89. Normally I don’t discuss devices, but this one shows real promise. It looks very similar to the most comfortable Jail Bird device that I wear. It has a solid base ring that is anatomically bent. That alone, means the device will be more comfortable than the other off-the-shelf devices.

There is one challenge: The cage comes in only one, rather small size. It is 1 3/4 inches long and 1 1/8 inches in diameter. Based on my experience, if your flaccid penis length is  2 to 2 3/4 inches long, the length will be fine. A surprisingly large number of guys will be fine with it. The cage diameter is a 1 1/8 inches in diameter. This is quite small. My cage is 1 1/4 inches in diameter. However, given the low cost, it may be worthwhile to wear this, even if it is a bit small, to see if enforced chastity is for you. Fortunately, there is another model with the same design with a much larger cage.  The larger one has a 2 3/8 inch length. The inner diameter is the same as the shorter cage.  It might be a bit of a squeeze, but the cage is rarely the source of discomfort with these devices. Either model has a nice selection of base ring sizes available. You should be able to find one that fits well.

I’ve ordered one of these devices. Once it arrives (it can take 3 weeks to get here from China), I’ll review it and post my experiences with it. Good luck!

It seems Lion is back to himself again. After I finished the manscaping, he asked if I wanted him to put his ring back on so I could lock him up. I told him he could remain wild until I was done with him for the night. He reminded me a few times that he was wild. He was hoping I hadn’t forgotten. Oh, I hadn’t.

Lion never knows what to expect when I bring out my bag of toys. There are some evil things in there: clothespins of various sizes and nastiness, the dreaded Velcro, a length of rope, some clamps, some rubber rings that came from the top of Target prescription bottle, and I’m sure there’s other stuff I’m forgetting. I heard him groan when I grabbed the bag last night. Lucky for him I was after the wooden clothespins with a few plastic ones mixed in for effect.

The wooden clothespins don’t hurt as much as the plastic. They also don’t hurt as much as the wooden ones with the tread surface on them. I was taking it somewhat easy on him since he’s been less than his horny self lately. I don’t know if Lion agrees that I was taking it easy on him, but I could have pulled out more than two plastic clothespins. I could have loaded his balls up with a lot of clothespins, but we were playing “edge and release”. Once I get him to the edge I take a clothespin off quickly. In case you’re not familiar with clothespins, they hurt going on, sometimes hurt while they’re on and sometimes hurt the most when they come off. Every one is different. Every spot is different. If I happen to hit a very sensitive spot with a plastic one, there’s just no getting around it. It’s going to hurt no matter what.

So I put about ten on him and the fun began. It’s worth mentioning that I did get Lion somewhat aroused before I put any clothespin on. He is more difficult to arouse if I hit him with pain first. He had a stripe of clothespins from his perineum to the base of his cock. Once I got him close to the edge I took one or two off. They do tend to get in the way when they are closest to his cock, but that’s also where the most sensitive skin is.

I discovered this game when I had Lion in a similar predicament and I was trying to ensure he didn’t have a ruined orgasm. I figured if I got him very close, or even a little too far, yanking a clothespin off would stop all progress. When he’s not too far it just adds a little (sometimes more than a little) pain to his pleasure. And, after all, isn’t that what playing is all about?

(Saturday, late afternoon) I’m sitting in front of my computer with nothing on but saran wrap and a pair of underpants to keep everything in place. We had a busy day of running errands and when we came back a little while ago, I asked Mrs. Lion if she wanted to do manscaping. This is a biweekly ritual when she shaves me and then uses the Bella Flash hair removal system on me. We bought this device about a month and a half ago. Treatments are every two weeks. We cheated the first week and did it after only one week’s wait. The second time we waited the full two weeks and today is the third session.

The powerful light is far from painless, particularly on my balls and perineum. To help make it more bearable in those areas, I bought some Numb Master gel. This is a 5% lidocaine preparation. To use it, you have to apply it liberally to the areas you want to numb, rub it in, add more on top, and then cover the area with plastic wrap. Then you wait between 30 and 45 minutes tightly wrapped for the lidocaine to take full effect.

So, after Mrs. Lion unlocked me, I applied the gel to my pubic area and in my butt crack (she is permanently removing all butt hair too). The butt cheeks aren’t sensitive enough to need the gel. Next, I wrapped myself up tightly and put on a pair of briefs to hold things together. I could have used packing tape to keep me tightly wrapped, but that would be more trouble for Mrs. Lion to cut away later.

After the wait, Mrs. Lion uncovers one area at a time, wipes off the gel and shaves the area. Then she uses the Bella Flash hair removal system on me. It still hurts a bit, well much more than a bit on my numbed balls, but it is manageable. The plastic wrap, aside from keeping the gel off surfaces I touch, assures it is in contact with my skin and also captures my body heat. The extra warmth helps the anesthetic effect. One side effect is that my penis ends up numb too. It’s too difficult to isolate it from the rest of the package. The anesthetic wears off one to two hours after it was applied. Sort of like a pubic dental appointment.

Does it really work? It does! A patch of hair that was growing directly north of my penis has thinned to invisibility. This area was all that remained above my cock when I had laser hair removal treatments about 12 years ago. Hair remained on my balls too; not a lot but enough to be very noticeable. It too seems to be almost gone. I had never had any hair removal treatments in back. Mrs. Lion reports that there is almost no hair there either.

That doesn’t mean we will be done soon. Hair follicles go dormant and activate on an irregular cycle. Even though we may have killed or badly wounded the current crop, there are dormant follicles that will start producing new hair. This cycle can take up to 250 days to assure that the entire population of hair roots has been treated. That means we have a minimum of 17 more treatments to go. After that is done, we only need to go back if new hairs are spotted.

I like the idea of permanent hair removal; not because it is convenient but because it represents a commitment. Simply shaving or waxing will allow the hair to grow back in a few weeks. This treatment assures that the hair is gone for good. Sure, a few stray hairs might come back over time. But anyone who sees my pubes or butt will know that something intentional was done down there.  I like that. I don’t want to be able to hide my surrender.

So here I sit wrapped tightly in plastic wrap writing this post. It feels quite warm down there. Hopefully the pain will be lessened when Mrs. Lion goes to work. As a former friend once said, “Lions don’t get to have pubic hair.” Oh the price of beauty!
