We had a nice evening watching TV last night. Lion was still basking in the glow of his orgasm from the night before. I don’t know when he’ll be horny again, but I figure I’ll give it a shot tonight. If he doesn’t want any attention for my weenie, we’ll snuggle.

We were supposed to have beef stew last night. I thought Lion was too busy trying to make the lockbox thing work. He kept calling me away from my desk to set up a password or say a phrase. It was taking quite a long time. Aside from that, he said he finally got past a little writer’s block and was busily writing away. We’re having stew tonight, and the house smells wonderful.

On Monday, against my better judgment, I’m returning to work. I like working from home, and I don’t see why I can’t continue. The big boss says they need me there to answer questions. With three offices, most of my contact with coworkers is by email or phone anyway. Since I’ve been home, only my immediate boss has called me, and she’s frequently in the other offices, so she’d be calling anyway. One of the coworkers who share my office says she misses my face, and she’ll be happy to have me back. We talk a lot throughout the day, and we do ask each other questions so that that part will be nice. I’ll get to see other coworkers I’ve missed and coworkers I could do without. I like the option of not getting dressed for work and not wearing a mask. And, of course, I’ll miss Lion. I’m thinking of doing a job search to see if I can find something I can do from home. My boss was shocked when I told her that. She didn’t think working from home was really possible. What have I been doing all this time?

Some time ago, I mentioned that I tested a safe for storing things like keys to a chastity device. The first unit I got was virtually unusable. There were big problems with the setup. It claimed it could be unlocked using voice, but it couldn’t. I complained to the company. They got back to me with a new device and improved software. Now the device can be unlocked using Amazon Alexa voice control.

The Pillar, by Lockedbrands (link to Amazon page), is a high-quality plastic safe. It is unlocked via either a phone app or voice. It isn’t cheap: $100. I think it is worth the money. I set it up so that only Mrs. Lion can open it. She can use our Echo devices at home and say, “Alexa ask my pillar to unlock,” and it will. After unlocking, it automatically resets to locked in a few seconds.

You open it by twisting 1/4-turn and lifting, just like opening a jar. You lock it by putting the top on and twisting until it clicks. There is plenty of room inside for more than just keys. You can store other valuables there too. Obviously, since it’s made of plastic, it can be “cracked” with a saw, but that’s not the point. You can’t open it without wrecking it unless you are authorized.

This device neatly solves the emergency key problem, at least at home. The keyholder can unlock the Pillar from anywhere her phone can connect to the internet. She can do it with her voice through the Alexa phone app or by clicking a button on the LockedBrands app. Think of how useful this could be for a findom or professional keyholder? She could set up any number of Pillars on her phone and unlock them for poor boys as she wishes. They would have five seconds from the time she clicks “Unlock” to open the Pillar and retrieve the key. Facetime is an easy way to assure the key goes back, and the Pillar gets relocked.

The Pillar solves the problem of digging out the key or unlock a box or safe to get it. Male chastity just got a lot more convenient for the keyholder.

The reason the new anal trainer was on the bed is because it just arrived yesterday. I didn’t have any plans to use it. Lion’s legs have been bothering him so I didn’t want to put any stress on them by making him kneel on the bed to shove something up his ass. It is very pretty though.

I started out with snuggling. I was debating whether I should use some clothespins or a rope on his balls. The only evidence that I was making Lion feel good by playing with my weenie is that he’d make encouraging noises. When I asked if he wanted to come out from under the blankets, he moved like the dog does when she knows there’s food around. Get out of the way!

Lion stopped taking boner pills the other day. Having no knowledge of these things, I wondered if his troubles might be from the pills or maybe the pills had stopped working. If nothing else, it would provide a clean state from that point of view. So it was all Lion last night. No enhancements. And, for a while, I didn’t think we’d get anywhere. He was semi-soft. He’s had orgasms when he wasn’t very hard in the past so I kept going. I wasn’t going to stop unless he threw in the towel.

At some point, I decided to use my thumb and finger to trap his balls like I’d tied them. He seemed to like it. I know he likes it, but it seemed to help. Over the course of the next ten minutes or so, I went from trapping his balls and tugging or massaging both trapped and loose balls.

I can’t be sure, but I swear I tasted precum. Of course, I didn’t want to stop to tell Lion. That would have broken the spell. And I swear he started to get harder as we went along our merry way. I could tell by his movements he was getting closer. He hasn’t been that close in a while. I was just hoping it would last. I really wanted him to have an orgasm. As he got closer, he got harder and then he finally made it over the edge.

I have no idea why last night was any different from the last time we tried. Maybe it was sheer determination on both our parts. Maybe the moon was in the right spot in the sky. I’m just very glad it happened. Lion thinks it’s not the end of his troubles. I think we’ll take it one day at a time. I figure he won’t be horny for another day or so, but then I should get right back in there. I’m a stubborn old fool and I won’t give up.

I came across the bumpy, rainbow-bubble glass dildo on Twitter. I think it’s a great butt trainer for me. For me, at least, just learning to accept larger diameter objects doesn’t prepare me for motion or Mrs. Lion’s hand. I thought it would because logically, I figured that if I could comfortably accept a dildo the same diameter as her fingers, then the real thing should work too. I also thought that motion wouldn’t be uncomfortable if I learned to hold the object when it was still. I was wrong.

No matter how hard we tried, the motion was very uncomfortable, and Mrs. Lion could only get a few fingers in. I read that a better way to train is to use a butt plug instead of a dildo. The plug is moved in and out. I have always found inserting and removing a plug uncomfortable. There’s something about the change in diameter that hurts. According to my reading, the real training for pegging and fisting is learning to handle the change in diameter. Size is less important than handling change of diameter.

Last year, when I told Mrs. Lion about it, she tried with a butt plug. It was very uncomfortable the first night, but each successive try got easier for me. Then we stopped. When I saw the picture of this dildo, it looked like exactly the right toy for my anal training. The bubbles get larger as the toy goes deeper. The smallest is 1.1 inches in diameter, and the largest is just over 1-3/4 inches. That’s a nice range of sizes.

Anal play with it should be interesting. In the beginning, I will probably be able to take just the first couple of balls. As the play progresses, more and more will disappear up my ass. Motion is easy for Mrs. Lion since she can get a good grip on the bottom bubble. Over time I will learn to take the entire dildo and eventually accept hard pegging with it. It will take a while, but if Mrs. Lion persists, I have no choice about becoming an expert.

Aside from being very pretty, the Rainbow Bubble dildo is heavy. It’s about the same weight as stainless steel. It’s made of borosilicate glass; Pyrex is the trademarked term. It’s dishwasher safe. It has a nice prostate-massaging curve. The people who sell this are called Crystal Delights. They sell a nice range of penetration products made of glass. The service was excellent. I received the didlo only a few days after ordering.

Mrs. Lion left it on the bed. I suppose that means she intends to test drive it tonight.
