Holy Trainer has been making male chastity devices for many years. Their products are knocked off by cheap Chinese imitators. These cheesy products flood the Internet and Amazon. The authentic Holy Trainer devices are worth the cost. The current price for a V5 device is $165. It’s worth it!

The latest version (v5) features a novel lock. It’s fully integrated into the device. Prior versions used the standard “hitch lock” that required inserting a locking pin using the key. The new, integrated lock doesn’t require a key to lock it. You put the device on and press the lock down. It clicks and you are securely locked in. Very cool. This new lock will slow down the Chinese copycats.

About the nano

I tested the v5 Nano. This is the second smallest version. The Nub is the shortest. I used that one in the past. The Nano has a bit more room than I need but seemed like a good choice for this review. My base ring size is 45mm (1-3/4 inches). This is also the most popular base ring size. Remember that the base ring should fit snugly (you should be able to insert one finger between your skin and the ring), but not too tight. If you need to lube in order to wear the base ring comfortably, it’s too small.

The authentic Holy Trainer is made from a special plastic that is derived from plants, not petroleum. It has a fairly low melting point. The manufacturer claims this improves comfort and safety. I believe them. The ring is anatomically shaped. Over the years, this shape has been refined. The current version is very comfortable.

The penis tube has one opening at the end. It’s generously sized but not big enough to encourage mischief. The entire device is sturdy while being very lightweight. Manufacturing quality is excellent. This device is molded, not 3D-printed. That’s important. The molded product has a much smoother finish and is much stronger than the printed products.

The device comes in a strong plastic pouch. Prior versions were packed in a fancy box intended to provide storage when not in use. I never kept it. I keep devices in zip-lock bags. Apparently, a lot of other people do too. The Holy Trainer is made in Switzerland. Shipping is free and very fast. I received mine in just a few days.

Wearing the v5

The first thing I noticed was how easy it was to put on. Every other device I’ve tried is difficult to put on. Attaching the tube to the base ring of most male chastity devices is a struggle, including pinched skin and badly aligned locking mechanisms. The v5 base ring has a wide top that protects tender skin during assembly. The tube slides over the base ring with no fuss or pain. Once the tube is firmly in place, press the lock. It clicks, and you’re locked in. No key is required. I had no problem putting it on.

The first thing I noticed was that I was completely comfortable. The fit is perfect. There was no pinching, and it’s so light I forgot I was wearing it. It’s invisible under clothing. My problem came when I had to pee.

The biggest issue with tube-type cages is that urine gets trapped in them. If you are lucky and the tip of your penis is firmly touching the end of the tube, almost all of the urine will go where you want it. I’m not that lucky. My penis can shrink and find the head halfway down the tube, even with the Nano.

That means my urine stream isn’t going straight out the hole in the tip. It went everywhere. I had to sit on the toilet. After I finished, I had to stay seated to allow the tube to drain. After I got up, I needed to rinse above the device where some urine escaped. It didn’t take long for the device to smell. If I had the Nub (maybe I need to try one), there would have been no mess or bad smell. Even in that situation, an odor will develop over time. That’s the nature of closed tubes. A flexible shower head and liquid soap can let you clean up every day. Even so, the device needs to come off at least every week or two for a more thorough cleaning. This isn’t an issue just with this device. It’s true of all closed tube male chastity devices.

If you prefer a tube rather than a cage, I think the Holy Trainer V5 is the best off-the-shelf choice. There are enough options for most guys to get a very good fit without the time and expense of ordering a custom device. Service is excellent, and the quality of this device is amazing. Best of all, the integrated lock offers the keyholder the ability to give the device to her male and have him lock himself in without ever going near the key. The new click-and-lock system is convenient and secure.

I know it is tempting to buy a cheap knockoff. Don’t do it. Aside from it being unethical, the knockoffs are made from cheap plastic and don’t feel as good as the real thing. I can’t explain it, but the authentic Holy Trainer (This website) feels soft against my skin. It doesn’t feel like plastic. It feels good.

I got the Nano because it is the most popular size. I should think about trying the V5 nub too. That may solve my shrinking penis problem. No matter what size you get, the Holy Trainer is the most comfortable male chastity device I’ve ever tried.

The device I tested was provided to me free of charge for the purpose of this review. We do not receive any commissions or other payments in return for reviews or sales of products we link to our posts.

As promised, I set up the massage table so we could play. The straps didn’t work out. One issue is that there are cables that help stabilize the legs and those can get in the way. Another issue is the length of the straps. One is a little too long for the spanking bench, but it’s too short for the massage table, which is wider. I’m sure I can figure something out. It’s just a matter of measuring and possibly permanently attaching them. I’ve had that thought for the spanking bench too, but I haven’t done anything about it.

Despite not being strapped down, I decided to use some nasty-ish clothespins on Lion. The have tread tape on the pinchy parts. That means they grip harder and also hold on a little bit longer on removal. Ouchy! I don’t know how many I got on him. I just made a stripe from back to front, straight up the middle. I know there are a few spots that are super sensitive. I’m sure I hit them because Lion doesn’t have a very good poker face.

I made sure I had him a little turned on before I started with the clothespins. He wasn’t completely hard, but he was well on his way. I even put a clothespin on each of his nipples. He swears he doesn’t like that, but Mr. Weenie gives him away. He’ll protest and Mr. Weenie will reach for the sky. Can’t fool me.

Lion’s tied balls.

I wasn’t going to give him an orgasm. I just wanted to get his motor running after not playing for about a week. Of course, I didn’t tell him that. Why ruin the surprise? He needs to think he’s going for gold every time otherwise it won’t be as fun. For me. It’s never fun for him when I stop short of the promised land. Well, that’s not true. He enjoys it on some level even if he is disappointed, and usually out of breath. I got him nice and hard and breathing heavy. And I left him hanging. What a bitch! Yup. That’s me.

Tonight, I’m thinking about tying his balls up in a nice little bow while I suck him. I like tying his balls and making them bounce. I just like his balls, period. And sucking him is my favorite form of torture. It’s not a torture? It is if I don’t take him all the way. Poor Lion.

Mrs. Lion finished waxing me on Wednesday after work. It puts a strain on her back and shoulders. She was out of commission for other activities. In her post yesterday (“I Feel a Spanking Coming On“), she observed that I’ve gone unspanked for a long time, 49 days as of Thursday. That is because we were sick and I’ve been careful to follow all my rules.

Spanking serves several purposes in our lives. It trains me to follow rules, it reminds Mrs. Lion to observe my behavior and continue our domestic discipline, and it satisfies my kinky sexual need to be spanked. When we go too long without spanking, these things fade into the background. Our marriage loses some seasoning. It’s like cooking without salt. The food is still nutritious and tastes good, but something is missing.

I’m writing this post on Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Lion hasn’t indicated whether she plans on giving me a “just because” spanking today. I’m pretty sure she will. She’s obviously been thinking about it. If she does, there won’t be any sex tonight. That isn’t a rule, but I’m usually too uncomfortable to get very turned on, and Mrs. Lion doesn’t want me to associate sexual pleasure with punishment. A “just because” spanking is punishment. Maybe she won’t spank me today so we can do something sexual. We haven’t since my orgasm four days ago.

What will she decide to do? I vote for sex. Big surprise, right?

My vote doesn’t count. My prediction is that I will have a sore bottom. That’s the most overdue activity. I can be wrong. Mrs. Lion likes to be unpredictable.

Our current situation is the perfect example of why we needed to add “just because” spankings to our domestic discipline. For a long time, we waffled on the subject. It seemed unfair to punish me if I didn’t break any rules. I don’t think we had the best understanding of the importance of spanking. I need it because it’s the way I’m wired. Play spankings would be enough to satisfy that need. Domestic discipline fills a much more important role.

Whether she chooses to use it or not, Mrs. Lion can spank me for upsetting her. If I don’t respect her opinion or make her feel that I am disregarding her, she knows that she can spank me. So far, she hasn’t done much spanking for that reason, but she can. She also knows that I don’t think being spanked is fun. That means it is an effective and healthy way for her to express displeasure. Punishing me is an overt and agreed-upon way to handle my misdeeds.

It isn’t easy for her to use this tool. She knows she has it and knows how to use it. I’m confident that she will use it at some point. In the meantime, the knowledge that she can easily spank me prevents destructive, indirect expressions of anger. She’s told me that the “just because” spankings give her a chance to punish me for times I upset her but she doesn’t want to punish me. Fair enough. A blistered bottom hurts regardless of the reason I get it.

When I finished Lion’s waxing yesterday, I told him if I ever talk about waxing his legs again, he should tell me to shut up. He has my permission. Just shut up. On the other hand, I could always shave his legs. There’s no rule saying I have to wax him or nothing. I used to shave him. I used to use the light gun to remove hair. If his legs start to look funny, I can mow them. Both ways get rid of hair. Since his legs aren’t involved in play, except for restraints, there’s no reason they have to be smooth as a baby’s butt.

Today is a very cool day. It’s overcast and fairly dark outside. It’s perfect weather for some fun. There’s a “just because” spanking looming too. However, I need to get back to the fun part first. That’s more important. When I waxed him, I did run my hands all over his body, and I paid a little more attention to his crack than I normally do, but I didn’t give him an oily hand job. I didn’t really turn him on. Of course, the purpose of waxing isn’t to turn him on. I’ve just taken some liberties when it comes to cleaning him off. He’s lubed. Why not have some fun?

Since I gave him a play spanking a few days ago, I think he can hold out for another day before I blister his butt. Plus, tomorrow is my half day of work. I have time to spank him early and play with him later. Or vice versa. I know Lion would prefer the play early. There’s time to figure out the logistics. Tonight, I’ll set up the massage table in his office, and we’ll have some fun. I might even be persuaded to strap him down either with the spanking straps or the restraints. The spanking straps will be easier to find. Either way, he’ll be at my mercy. Mwah ha ha.
