Only Mrs. Lion decides if or when I can ejaculate.

There is much more to male chastity than the hardware. Of course, the obvious loss of sexual control is a big part of it. As time goes by, even that loses some of its importance. Since I don’t masturbate, my only outlet, with or without a chastity device, is Mrs. Lion.

I know that a lot of guys like to think of this as a form of submission. I suppose it is. However, I don’t think I ever called the shots when it came to getting off. From my earliest dating experience through today, the female decided whether or not my penis was going to get any attention. I think that’s true of most men regardless of whether or not they wear chastity device.

This reality is true of almost every animal. The female decides who she will select and when she will allow him to mate with her. A seriously large proportion of sitcoms are based on the lengths a male will go to convince his partner to have sex with him. Let’s face it, we’ve spent most of our lives being sexually submissive. Masturbation is the only outlet we truly control.

When the ability to masturbate is removed, sexual dependence is complete. I can’t say that I mourn the loss of being able to jerk off. It was rarely that much fun. Generally, all it did was relieve some tension. When Mrs. Lion gives me a hand job it’s always much more fun than if I did it myself.

Partner sex is much more complicated than just stimulating each other’s sex organs. Like it or not, it’s an integral part of the bonding process. I know what you’re thinking. Guys often have one night stands and sometimes buy sex from hookers. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone tell me that this sort of sex is particularly satisfying. There is an emotional component missing just as it is with masturbation.

Enforced male chastity is about withholding sex. It formalizes the female control over male sexual release. You would think that practicing it would seriously challenge the bond between the caged male and his keyholder. It doesn’t. In the first place, it’s a consensual activity. In fact, the male asks his partner to lock him in chastity. Being locked up is fulfilling a male wish.

Over time, at least in my case, this power exchange provides a sense of security. I feel Mrs. Lion’s love through her denial and eventually giving me an orgasm. Enforced male chastity has brought us closer than ever. I don’t understand the mechanism. After all, male chastity is a sort of BDSM game. It’s just about controlling the male’s ability to get off. It’s a potentially cruel sex game. Yet, over time it’s become much more than that.

The mechanical parts of the game are pretty much automatic by now. Mrs. Lion effortlessly teases me and eventually fulfills my need to get off. We don’t discuss waiting time or chastity device wearing. Her absolute control over my ability to ejaculate is fully accepted by both of us. If anything, enforced male chastity has focused my lioness’ attention more sharply on my sexual needs.

We’ve extended her control to cover many other areas of my behavior. She accepts as routine her right to punish me if I don’t do as she wishes. Like chastity, this power exchange has none of the BDSM accoutrements attached to it. It’s just a normal part of our lives.

Without the leather trappings and other BDSM rituals, what we do feels to me like the way our marriage should be. It would be hard to imagine Mrs. Lion without her collection of paddles. They are just a normal part of our lives. From time to time readers comment that my punishments seem cruel and brand Mrs. Lion as a sadist. We usually don’t bother responding to those comments. I knew what I was getting into. I help Mrs. Lion become more efficient as a spanker. I celebrate her ability to make it difficult for me to sit down.

No, I’m not a pathological masochist. I’m sure there is some component of masochism in all this. But it’s absolutely not the point. She knows this. She understands that when she is strict I am happier. It’s very easy to apply labels to this. I must be a “sub”. Only on the Internet. I submit to Mrs. Lion’s authority and accept punishments she chooses to give me. I value our power exchange.

I’ve written that I like to be spanked. More correctly, I like the idea of being spanked. I can get an erection thinking about it. I cannot sustain an erection during a spanking. There are guys who really like being spanked. I remember a scene at a BDSM club where a top was administering a very severe spanking to her partner. He had a raging erection from beginning to end. He liked being spanked. That’s very different from me.

I guess you’d have to think about the meaning of the word “like”. I really like the idea of having my butt spanked hard. I absolutely hate it while it’s happening. Later, I fondly reminisce about the spanking. I like it when I have sore spots that I feel during the day after. See? It’s pretty complex. To further complicate things, I am happier if I get spanked regularly.

My reaction to wearing a chastity device is a little different. I know that a reasonably large number of men who wear chastity devices like to be challenged by having orgasms withheld for long periods of time. They like to brag about how long they’ve gone without. They also talk about how frustrated they are.

Our approach to enforced male chastity isn’t based on how long I have to wait. Mrs. Lion is usually unaware of how many days it’s been since my last ejaculation. I know. I keep track in a spreadsheet. She almost never asks me how long it’s been. She knows that I am happier if I wait at least two or three days between ejaculations. My refractory period is probably a day or so at this point. But I feel better waiting a little longer. It’s easier for me to get off.

Other than that, she doesn’t pay much attention to timing. My last orgasm was on June 1. It was after just four days of waiting. The one before that was 10 days. It doesn’t matter to her. Sometimes, it matters to me. Usually, however, I’m happy being teased and waiting until she decides it’s time for me to ejaculate.

Speaking of ejaculation, I’ve been producing little or no semen. I have no idea why not. I can say that the quality of my orgasms is just as good with or without the liquid treat for Mrs. Lion. In fact, I can’t tell if I ejaculate or not. I don’t think this is pathological, but I would certainly like to provide her with copious quantities of semen. I’ve been doing research on this and apparently there really isn’t anything I can do to change the situation.

The point of all this is that what seems very kinky and odd to many people has become a routine and important aspect of our relationship. With or without a chastity device, Mrs. Lion retains full control over my releases. Without any BDSM trappings, she enforces her will and her rules with corporal punishment. I accept this punishment and need it. Labels aren’t important. It’s just the way we are.

One reason I started this blog and we post to it almost every day, is that it gives us a living record of how we got where we are now. If you go back to our 2014 posts, the tone was very different. You could argue that we were playing with the BDSM activity. Over the years, we slowly evolved from play to incorporating this set of activities into our relationship. I would argue that spanking, for example, ceases to be BDSM when it becomes a routine tool used to help me learn. The same is true of enforced male chastity. It has become a formal agreement between my lioness and myself that she and only she controls any sexual use of my penis.

Now that we are in our sixth year of all this, it’s safe to say that we both find a lot of value in the way we live. It may be kinky to you, but to us it’s just the way we are.

While this isn’t us, it’s exactly how Mrs. Lion spanks me.

It’s easy to forget when you read our posts that enforced male chastity and our Female Led Relationship with Discipline (FLRD) isn’t the center of our lives. We deal with all the routine things every other couple has to handle. We work, deal with money, take care of our house and do the thousands of other things everyone in a vanilla relationship manages. So, when Mrs. Lion forgets to spank me it isn’t because she doesn’t think discipline is important. It’s because she has a lot more important things to think about.

You come here to read about one area of our lives. I do the same thing when I read other people’s blogs. It’s important for me to remember that these posts don’t supply context. They just talk about the subject the blog is about.

Physically, there is one exception to the distractions life brings: the chastity device. I don’t think about it every hour of the day and night but it’s locked around my penis 24/7. Most of the time I don’t even notice that it’s there. However, it makes itself known when I have to use the toilet, undress, or feel sexually aroused. You can say that it’s something I’m aware of all the time.

The same isn’t true of my lioness. She has no physical reminder of our power exchange. Sometimes she forgets entirely. This past weekend I’ve managed to avoid punishment. That’s not entirely true. Her Sunday post included a note to herself that I’ve been spilling food and have a substantial backlog of punishments coming. I think I should remind her that she owes me the spankings. After all, I’m supposed to remind her when it’s punishment day, which I forgot Saturday. I should probably also remind her when a spanking is due.

I reminded her yesterday. I was rewarded with two spankings; one in the afternoon and the other near bedtime.

On Saturday night I got a surprise orgasm. It was only four days since my last one. It’s true that I was very horny. I think that the new chastity device and working with the designer on a custom one, focused my attention on my penis. Also, I seem to have emerged from my sexual slump and I’m very interested in getting off once more.

Another reason I hate to admit, could be the renewed interest in spanking me. Put another way, I’ve managed to break a very simple rule over and over. I’ve been spilling food on my shirt. Honest, I’m not trying to do it. I don’t understand my regression. Could it be a subconscious desire to get punished? It’s more likely that my recovery isn’t complete and I’m still clumsy.

Whatever the reason, I’m making up for lost time in terms of getting spanked and punished. I’m also remaining locked in a chastity device full-time for the first time in several months. The chastity device and the punishments are strong signals that Mrs. Lion is in firm control. My horniness is a sign that I’m happy with this.

I think she is well aware of the relationship between enforced male chastity and FLRD with my interest in sex. I find it embarrassing to recognize this relationship. I’m not at all sure what this says about me. I can’t deny that it exists. Saturday night, for example, is clear evidence.

Welcome to my world.

This is a rendering of my custom Cherry Keeper. Notice the sharp taper. Also notice the wide headlock that will keep the head of my penis “locked” inside the cage.

Josie Lynn, inventor of the Cherry Keeper chastity device completed my custom design. I ordered one made for me by Shapeways and it should be in my hands by the 15th of this month. I’m excited. Over the years, there have been very few real innovations when it comes to male chastity devices. In the 1990s the CB 2000 was invented. It was the first base ring chastity cage designed for the mass market. While there were a few base ring devices out there, they were mostly cobbled together plumbing supplies. The CB 2000 was the first of its kind.

Over the years, many designs have come out. They range from very simple cages like the Jail Bird to elaborate titanium works of art. However, they are all essentially the same thing: a tube or cage designed to contain and restrain the flaccid penis. While the Cherry Keeper looks very much like the others, it can be ordered with an amazing innovation.

Instead of being a container in which the penis essentially floats free, the Cherry Keeper can be ordered with a headlock, a shelf inside the cage that holds the head of the penis tightly against the front of the chastity device. Josie Lynn markets this feature as a form of chastity device security. He claims it makes pullout much more difficult. I have a completely different view of this innovation.

I realize that different men have different criteria for an excellent chastity device. I have two requirements that must be met. The first is comfort. I need to be able to wear the device without suffering pain or chafing. The second is convenience. The principal convenience attribute for me is the ability to urinate standing up without fear that I will be spraying urine. It should be easy for me to stay clean and odor free.

penis head
You can clearly see that the head of my penis is larger than the shaft. Yes, this is my hard penis, but the difference remains when flaccid. It’s just easier to see when erect.

The Cherry Keeper headlock feature is a shelf around the inside of the cage that reduces its diameter. The human penis head is wider than the shaft below it. This serves a very useful purpose in nature. It provides a sort of seal that assures sperm will travel the right direction and not leak out before it has a chance to get past the cervix. If the headlock shelf is narrower than the head, and the head is forced past it, it will rest on that shelf and not withdraw back towards the body from time to time.

Until now, I’ve attempted to get the same effect by obtaining cages that are only 1 inch long. That inch barely contains the length of my penis head. The rest of my flaccid penis is pressed back against and into my body. This, hopefully keeps the head in firm contact with the end of the cage and centered in the opening for the urethra.

It sometimes works out that way. My 1 inch Jail Bird keeps the head of my penis firmly in contact with the front of the cage but my urethra “wanders” and generally ends up straddling one of the bars on the side of the center opening. That’s a recipe for disaster. If I don’t take a Q-tip and re-center my urethra, urine will spray everywhere.

By itself, the headlock doesn’t guarantee that my urethra will remain centered. However, the design of the cage can encourage urethral good behavior. If you look at the illustration of my custom Cherry Keeper, you’ll see that the cage tapers sharply at the front. This sharp taper wouldn’t be very good in a cage where the penis is free to withdraw into the body. In fact, it would almost guarantee that the end of my penis would never get to the end of the cage. However, once I force the head past the edge of the shelf (headlock), it has no choice but to fill the full space allotted to it. The sharp taper should make urethral wandering difficult if not impossible.

In fairness to the stock Cherry Keeper, my urethra remains firmly centered against the opening in the head of the cage. The design of the cage is the best I’ve seen so far for male chastity devices. I’ve been wearing it since it arrived. It’s completely comfortable and I haven’t had to adjust once.

The physics of chastity cage design are very subtle. Simply by looking at it, I can’t see any reason why this device works so much better than the others I’ve worn. But it does.

You’ll hear more about my custom Cherry Keeper once it arrives and I’ve had a chance to wear it for a while. In the meantime, you might want to look into trying one of the stock ones yourself. Please let me know how you like it. You can find the shop here.

bruised lion bottom
Bruised Lion bottom.

Thursday is one of our punishment days. Mrs. Lion rarely uses them by reserving punishments until Monday, Thursday, or Saturday. Nowadays she’s much more likely to punish the same day I break a rule. Thursday night I was spanked for spilling on my shirt. I’m not sure which spill was covered since I made three slips within the last week. It doesn’t matter. The offense was the same each time.

This was the second night in a row that I was spanked. It’s part of Mrs. Lion’s new serial-spanking policy. When she came out with a paddle (the spoon -shaped heavy wood model), I groaned inwardly. The spanking I got the other day had a mildly erotic flavor. That was because I hadn’t been spanked in a while and I looked forward to the sensation. Thursday night wasn’t erotic one little bit. I just couldn’t wait for it to be over.

Mrs. Lion started out with bursts of 10 or 11 swats to each cheek. She focused them on the small “sit spot” she favors. You know, it’s the area just below the crease. I have no idea how many rounds of swats she administered. I was yelping by the second round. It kept going on and on. Finally, she started applying single, very-hard swats to different spots on my bottom. I wanted to escape. It took everything I had to stay in place.

Those isolated, very-hard swats produced bruising. That was what Mrs. Lion wanted. Finally she was done. She went back into the guest room to return the paddle to its place and came back with the rough matting normally covering my punishment stool. She had me raise my body and she slid the coconut matting under my bottom. I slowly lowered myself on it feeling the sharp bristles digging into my tender, bruised skin.

I had to remain in position with my weight on the matting for what seemed to be an endless period of time. In actuality it was probably between 30 and 45 minutes. Finally, when she let me move the matting away, it felt like my bottom was corrugated by the sharp coconut mat. Yesterday morning, I had numerous tender spots on my rear.

I still have several daily installments to go for my serial spilling. By the end of the weekend I won’t be sitting comfortably. I’m not complaining. I’m just reporting. It looks like Mrs. Lion has discovered the best way so far to punish me.

My health has been steadily improving. One of the reasons I’m spilling more is that my coordination and balance were affected by the surgery I had in March. I’ve been told it can take up to a year for me to fully recover. However, I’m finally at the point where I can walk steadily without too much wobble. I’m going to begin physical therapy next week to help hasten my improvements.

Lest you think it is unfair of Mrs. Lion to punish me for slips caused by my surgery, I specifically asked her not to cut me any slack. We both need the FLRD to resume full speed. It’s a fortunate side effect of my surgery that I am spilling more on my clothes; it’s helping us continue our growth.

I’m still wearing the Cherry Keeper chastity device. My urethra remains nicely centered. Mrs. Lion took it off last night for a teasing session. I couldn’t get to the edge but certainly enjoyed the attention. Once finished, she put the cage back on.

penis skin overflowing cherry keeper cage
son you can see how some of the skin from behind the head is overflowing the back of the cage.

The fit isn’t perfect. Due to the design of this particular chastity device, the cage may be a bit short for me. Some of the skin from just behind the head is overflowing the back of the cage. It really should be contained inside. You can see what I mean in the picture, left.

I’m working with the designer for a custom cage that will continue to keep my urethra pushed forward and centered while covering the penis skin shown in the picture. My other cages don’t do this. It’s a matter of how the cage is angled and how it relates to the base ring.

I believe the Cherry Keeper orientation is very good. The question in my mind is whether a longer cage will permit the head of my penis to recede into the cage. The designer plans to reduce the diameter of the cage to the actual size of my penis head. I supplied detailed measurements of diameter, length, and circumference to assist in the design.

Because this device is 3D-printed, it’s possible to refine the design in any way imaginable. The possibilities are endless. I’m going to hold off the full review until we have a final custom design. I want to say that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the standard Cherry Keeper models. The design is absolutely solid. The cage I’m wearing now, as shown in the picture, is completely and comfortably functional. I just want to take advantage of the 3D-printing capability to build something 100% perfect for my penis.

If you’re interested in trying one of these, I strongly urge you to resist ordering it in color. Colors are just a die on the surface of the nylon. They will rub off. White is the color of the material itself. This material is a medical-grade nylon suitable for use in implants. It has a 300° melting point, so it’s safe to be cleaned in hot water.

Each cage is available in two quality levels of material: standard and premium. The premium is nearly twice as expensive. Actually, both are the same exact 3D-printed objects. The difference is that the premium finish has been tumbled with abrasive ceramic balls. This tumbling smooths out the rather rough surface 3D-printing produces. I can’t wear a device in the standard finish. It irritates my skin enough to make wearing extremely painful. So far, the premium finish is not bothering me a bit. It looks and feels a bit like an eggshell. It’s not shiny-smooth but it is smooth enough to avoid abrading me. If you’re interested in trying a Cherry Keeper. click here to go to the website. You will be taken to the Shapeways shop of the maker. You are ordering the device directly from the 3D-printer. Shapeways is the biggest, and in my opinion, the best of these public printing companies.

I wonder if enforced male chastity is becoming less of an oddity. It’s hard to tell based on the Internet. Popularity of chastity sites says less about how many people are interested than how good a job search engines are doing pointing people at our particular kink. In any case, I think there is progress being made in producing wearable chastity devices that are comfortable and do the job.

Many of the mainstream off-the-shelf and custom devices are made by people who don’t necessarily wear them. Until very recently, to get into the business of making and selling male chastity devices, you either had to have the special metalworking skills needed to build cages or the design skill and the financing required to create injection molds. The plastic chastity devices are all injection molded. 3D-printed devices are just now beginning to appear.

If you have any experience in computer-aided design, or are willing to learn, you can now become a chastity device maker. Shapeways and other similar companies make it easy to interface your design with their systems. It’s relatively inexpensive to get a design printed. If you are just paying Shapeways, for example, a typical cage and base ring would cost around $50 in the premium finish. That’s inexpensive enough to allow iterative design to perfect a new device.

I think we will see more and more new devices coming out of 3D printers. This is a very profound change in the evolution of male chastity. Before 3D printing, chastity devices had to be built obeying rules that have nothing to do with the male anatomy. For example, my Jail Bird had to be made with a relatively crudely shaped cage. It’s round and tapers toward the front. It can’t taper too much because it would become impossible to polish the metal in a too-narrow space. A lot of compromises have to be made to permit efficient manufacture.

Similarly, products like the CB-series and Holy Trainers have to be designed to allow the injection molds to properly eject the plastic. The same is true of any other metal or plastic device. 3D-printing, on the other hand has no such limitations. Almost any shape you can imagine can be printed. There are rules in terms of thickness of material that must be followed. But, it’s no problem to build a cage shaped exactly like a specific man’s penis. The custom cage I get should precisely conform to my anatomy.

It won’t be perfect since it’s based on dimensions I provide. If more accuracy is needed a 3D-rendering can be made from a series of still photographs taken of my cock. I doubt that will be required. The point is that with a little patience and some design skill, it’s possible to build a device that will be perfect for you and you alone. I consider that an irresistible challenge.

I’ll keep you posted as we make progress on the new Lion Cage.
