Every so often, someone writes that male chastity is rapidly growing in popularity. They say that the vastly expanded availability of male chastity devices is a sure sign of this growth. Go to dhgate.com, and you will find tons of male chastity device offerings. If you look more closely, you will see that many different dealers offer the same devices.

This is not unusual in China. Many small merchants buy their wares from a few large suppliers. The small merchants are who you see on dhgate. There doesn’t seem to be any serious growth in companies that create original devices. The ones on the Chinese sites are usually copies.

For a while, there was a flurry of 3D-printed devices. I tried a couple. Their makers disappeared as fast as they offered their products. Evotion is still around. As far as I know, they are the only 3D-printed device maker that has been around for a while.

The old standbys, Mature Metal, Steelworxx, Holy Trainer, and Rigid, continue. They still make customers wait for months before getting their devices. I’m not attempting to create an exhaustive list of device makers. My point is that there doesn’t seem to be explosive growth in the marketplace. Innovation is minimal at best. For example, Mature Metal hasn’t added a new item in over a decade.

Let’s face it, male chastity device manufacturing is pretty much a mom-and-pop business. The CBx line of molded chastity devices is the closest anyone has come to a true off-the-shelf consumer product. They are relatively inexpensive and widely available in adult shops as well as on Amazon and other online retailers. If male chastity is a growing market, more competition will emerge.

One of the big challenges to growing this market is the lack of understanding of male chastity. Unlike other power exchanges, male chastity remains difficult to learn about. Even though there are quite a few websites that talk about the subject, compared to other kinks, male chastity sites are few and far between.

The other big problem is that almost all off-the-shelf male chastity devices are uncomfortable to wear. Even an expensive custom-made device will force some compromises on the wearer. Compared to spanking, pegging, or bondage, male chastity is much more difficult to practice. For one thing, the male chastity game isn’t played over an hour or two. It goes on for days, weeks, months, even years. We’re in our ninth year.

Given all that, I would be very surprised if this kink ever becomes very popular. Without the Internet, it would probably be invisible.

Lion didn’t sleep very well last night. His allergies have been bothering him. I sent both robot vacuums through the bedroom the other day. They each have their advantages. The first one tends to pull the dog fur up, but not suck it up. The second one is better at sucking it up. He felt better after vacuuming, but I didn’t change the bed over the weekend. I guess when his rug dander issues went away, his bed dander issues came to the forefront. Once I change the bed, he should be fine.

Assuming he snoozes while I make dinner, he may be ready for love in his nice clean bed. If so, I’ll do some dirty things to him. I’m sure he’ll love the idea of some oral attention. Even if he’s not really in the mood, we can have some fun trying. As long as it feels good, I don’t consider it a waste of time. I only stop when one of us has had enough, if he says he doesn’t think he’s getting anywhere or if I start to hurt.

I don’t know if he started up again with his electronic Kegel exercises or not, but I’m looking forward to some Lion cream in a few days. First, I need to get him excited enough. We’re still trying to work out the best way to do that. When I sit on the edge of the bed and try to jerk him off, I don’t hit the right spot. I’ve been doing it that way because other positions were too uncomfortable for me. It’s time to get more creative. I’ll do whatever it takes even if it means putting him back on the waxing table and slathering him with oil again. Of course, he’ll need to take another shower if I do that. It’s a small price to pay for cream filling.

I am still a wild lion since my orgasm three days ago. My locking cock ring remains on my nightstand. I’m not sure why. Mrs. Lion said she hasn’t forgotten to lock me up but can’t remember why I’m still wild. I’m sure that the ring will go on very soon.

You may wonder why I think of a locking cock ring the same way I thought about a male chastity device. From my perspective, they are the same. The male chastity device prevented erections and made it nearly impossible for me to masturbate. Mrs. Lion doesn’t mind if I get hard. I’m forbidden to masturbate. I don’t masturbate. Wearing a chastity device 24/7 for over three years trained me not to jerk off.

I haven’t wanked myself since December 2013. There isn’t much risk I’m going to do it now. That’s why the locking cock ring is equivalent to my chastity device. The ring is heavy, and it keeps my balls front and center. I can’t forget that I’m wearing it. That’s the whole point of male chastity for me. I’m wearing a device that I can’t remove. Anyone who can see my genitals will see the device. Mrs. Lion has the only key.

After all these years, I realize that male chastity is less about masturbation prevention than possession and ownership of my penis. I surrendered all sexual use of it when I asked Mrs. Lion to lock me up. Since then, she and she alone provides my orgasms. The device locked around my cock and balls is like my wedding ring. It is the mark of ownership.

Even though I can be teased and made to come while wearing it, Mrs. Lion removes it for sexual activity as she did with my male chastity device. When it is on, there is no chance of orgasm. When she takes it off, I will be teased and possibly be made to come.

I wouldn’t mind if Mrs. Lion put me in a full cage. The only changes for me would be the loss of the ability to get hard and chances of pee not going where I expect it to land. The pee situation is far more troublesome to me. I’m OK losing erections. So far, she seems content to lock me in the ring. I have no doubt that will change. She likes to try different things.

Update

After I wrote this post (Tuesday), Mrs. Lion locked me up again. Just thought you might want to know.

beef stew

We finally made our beef stew last night. We started after I got off work so it took us long into the night to get done cooking, cleaning, and packaging. It’s in the fridge “curing” before I carve out room for it in the freezer. Now we have a supply of chicken soup and stew to get us through those nights when we don’t know what else to cook or just need some comfort food.

The stew is made in our eight-quart Le Creuset dutch oven. It’s a heavy pot made even heavier by the ingredients. When I lifted it in and out of the oven, I tweaked my shoulders, neck, and anything else that was looking for a reason to hurt. I was tired and achy and sex was not happening. I think Lion was tired too, so I’m not sure he was looking for sex anyway. [Lion — No, I wasn’t.]

This morning, I thought it was Wednesday and Lion thought it was the weekend. I like his idea better. I’d like to be able to lounge in bed for a day or so, all snuggled in close to my Lion. We could watch movies and eat our soup and stew. That sounds perfect to me.

Tonight, Lion should be ready for some sort of attention. He may not get fully aroused, but I can still give it a shot. It’s been a few days. His batteries might have recharged by now. Last time he had an orgasm, he was ready the next day, if I recall correctly. This time around, he had a super long wait because we couldn’t get our act together. This didn’t work for me. That didn’t work for him. The other thing didn’t work for either of us. I won’t promise we’ve got it all worked out, but I think we’ll do better. I’m almost positive he won’t have another 19 days wait.
