Friday night, as Mrs. Lion described in her post, I experienced a symphony of pain and pleasure. Her application of equal quantities of wooden clothespins and plastic clothespins had me whimpering with pain. As she put them on, she masturbated me. By the time she finished putting them on my balls and perineum, I was very close to orgasm. Just as I thought I would reach the promised land, she stopped jerking me off and pulled off a clothespin. Clothespins hurt more coming off than they do going on. The combination of stopping just as I was ready to come and the sharp pain of the removed clothespin was very intense. My interest in orgasm disappeared immediately. 2.0 resumed masturbating me and when I was again ready to come, off came another clothespin. She repeated this until she was out of clothespins and I was a lion puddle of unfulfilled sexual need.

She’s been edging me every night for over a week now. I’m hornier than I can ever remember being. This isn’t the first time I’ve had to wait for more than a week. It’s also not the first time I’ve been edged every day. The difference this time is that 2.0 seems to really enjoy seeing me desperate to come. She takes no prisoners. She edges me over and over while teasing me about wanting an orgasm. If in the past I was super horny, Mrs. Lion would get me off. 2.0 has no interest in that. She wants to keep pushing me and enjoying the horny lion show. I hump the air, whimper, and groan loudly when she stops stimulating me. I get the feeling that the orgasm I had on March 10th is the last I will see until April. I’m sure that no matter how badly I need to come, I won’t get one before the scheduled “maybe” date of March 23.

Twice yesterday, I earned a penny which 2.0 deposited in the lion bank. Each penny is good for a cluster of swats next time she decides to punish me. Each cluster is at least eight hard swats. Before becoming 2.0, Mrs. Lion would let up or stop if I was too uncomfortable. Those days are gone too. I’ll get my full share of hard spanking.

As a former top, I know how difficult it is to be consistent with rules and discipline. Observing and punishing for offenses is distracting and takes up time better used for other things. 2.0 is apparently willing to make the extra effort. I respect that consistency. It helps me. I think the reason I am so out-of-my-mind horny is the combination of consistent discipline and teasing. Add the sure knowledge that she won’t let her soft heart stray her course, Mrs. Lion is deeply affecting me.

I got a sample Depends adult diaper in the mail yesterday. I saw an ad about a month ago for free samples and a coupon and figured it would save some money. I have no illusions that there are no diapers in my future. It’s just a matter of when 2.0 decides to make me wear them again. I wonder if 2.0 will be stricter about diapers as well. Mrs. Lion let me sleep without one and when we went out, let me take the diaper off and wear regular underwear. It is more difficult to sleep in a diaper. It’s hot and I sleep (and do everything else at home) naked. So, my soft-hearted lioness let me sleep bare. She also worried that a diaper would show under my jeans when we went out. I’ve had to wear one under my jeans in the past and no one noticed. I remember peeing while standing in the middle of an aisle at Target. It was a truly odd sensation. But no one was the wiser.

It may be my personality, but I prefer not having many exceptions to rules or orders. I really like consistency, even when it makes things harder for me. Of course, sometimes exceptions have to be made. One example is my collar. I find it hard to wear in bed. My neck starts to feel itchy. Maybe I just need to get used to wearing it. 2.0 has been kind enough to let me remove it when it bothers me too much. That’s the sort of exception that makes sense to me. I am grateful for her understanding.

It’s a fine line between lenient and sensible. A strict 2.0 isn’t lenient, but she is very reasonable. I suppose it is a function of training for me to stop needing exceptions. But then training takes thought, time, and energy. My lioness has a limited supply of all of those things and has to decide for herself where to apply those very scarce commodities. That’s purely up to her. I can say that from a sexual perspective she has me tree-humping horny all the time. What’s more, she clearly likes keeping me that way. As far as I can tell, this translates to a lot less opportunities to ejaculate from now on. I can deal with that.

Since we are into our third year of enforced chastity, I was pretty sure that we wouldn’t change much.  But things are definitely changing in the lions’ den. Thursday night, 2.0 gave me a maintenance spanking. I liked it.  I usually hate them. Then, later in the evening she unlocked me, commanded me to get hard (which I did with some help from her hand), and she lubed me up. Oh, I should mention that after the spanking she inserted the Njoy butt plug which remained in place about 90 minutes.

Anyway, with a silicone-lubed penis ready for her attention, 2.0 edged me. This edging is different than she had done in the past. Each time I was sure she would let me come. Each time she stopped right at the very edge of orgasm. She didn’t give me any rest. She began again as soon as the danger of me coming receded a bit. This went on and on. I was humping air. Some of the time she maintained a light grip and I humped her hand. She always let go before I could get off. I have no idea how many times she brought me to the edge. eventually she stopped. The entire session couldn’t have taken more than fifteen minutes but it felt like hours. As soon as I calmed down, she told me to put my base ring back on and then she locked me up. 2.0 only leaves me wild just long enough for her to take care of business; then I’m back in the cage.

It’s only been nine days since my last orgasm, but it feels like a very long time. I wonder about my personality changes during these very horny waits. Other couples report that the male becomes more gentle and manageable. Am I? One change that I can detect is that I like that I am being spanked. I’m not talking about the play spankings where I am uncaged and hard as I am paddled. I’m talking about the maintenance and punishment spankings that I hate. I find myself wanting her to administer them as often as possible. I want to feel her control and authority.

I think this is related to the stricter 2.0 and the much more intense and consistent edging she provides. 2.0 is much more direct with me. When she unlocks me, she gets right down to business and when she is done, locks me up immediately. She wastes no words when she wants to spank me. Just, “Roll over,” and off she goes. I have been getting on my hands and knees for spanking so that she has an easier time finding the spots she wants to hit. She hasn’t asked me to do that. It just seems like the right thing to do.

2.0 has been threatening to punish me at the time I commit an offense. I believe that will further increase my feeling of being controlled. It feels to me like the baby steps are over and 2.0 is proceeding as she wishes without too much consideration of whether or not I will like what she is going to do or make me do. It’s what I asked for. It seems to be working well.

I only have one suggestion for her (uh oh, Lion is at it again): When I display grumpy behavior, I think it means I need immediate correction. I need to be kept in the here and now and not allowed to recede into self pity or impatience. Impatience, in particular, needs strong correction. I don’t like that I can be that way and I know it upsets Mrs. Lion. 2.0, it’s time for direct consequences, I think. Of course, she will do exactly what she wants. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I think things are getting back to normal. I’m still tired and battling the remnants of the Black Death that knocked us both for a loop, but there’s light at the end of the tunnel. It’s been weeks since I did any manscaping and Lion is a furry mess. He likes to be bare so I’ve got my work cut out for me. We’ve also, just within the past few days, gotten back into playing.

Last night was a trifecta for Lion. I gave him some maintenance swats. I shoved the Njoy butt plug in him. And I edged him into a sniveling puddle. I think he was at the point where a stiff breeze would have sent him over the edge. He wants to come so badly, but at the same time, he wants to wait. It’s a fine line to walk. At some point he will start to lose interest. How far can I push him? Not only each night, but how many days?

I guess we’ll find out. This weekend we’ll play more. I don’t have any specific plans, but I have been thinking about the fucking machine a bit. He’ll probably need more anal practice before we use it, but it’s a goal we’ve had for a while. Maybe I’ll just stick to anal play without the machine until I’m sure he’s ready. I don’t want to hurt him. At least not any more than he wants to be hurt.

At this point, Lion has at least five more days to wait for an orgasm. Will 2.0 take pity on him? I don’t know. Last night she was happy watching him work so hard to go nowhere. I’m not even sure she’d be taking pity on him if she gave him an orgasm. She may just decide it’s time regardless of his feelings or needs. She may even know that he wants to wait and give him one anyway. She doesn’t care what he wants. Deep down she knows what he wants. He wants her to do what she wants. She can do that.

I’ve been grumpy the last couple of days. I’m frustrated and really want an orgasm. It’s only been a week since my last one so I’m not sure why I’m not just horny. I’ve been questioning what I am doing in enforced chastity. That doesn’t mean I would masturbate to relieve the frustration if I were unlocked. I wouldn’t. I need to feel aroused to actually want to come. I can feel frustrated that I’m not aroused and I can’t come; or I can feel frustrated I’m aroused and can’t come. Either way it’s frustrating.

For me at least, there is a big gap between aroused and frustrated. Frustration results from not being able to do or get what I want or try. It’s a normal feeling that we all have at times. It isn’t productive in enforced chastity. When I’m frustrated I am not looking for ways to satisfy my need. I’m just annoyed that I’m not getting something. When I am aroused, however, I want to satisfy that desire and I will try to find a way to scratch that itch.

Ideally, both feelings are manipulated by a keyholder. Arousal is fed by teasing, verbal and physical. Reminders of what I could have turn me on. Being teased gives me the feelings that mean an orgasm is close. It keeps my interest in pursuing an orgasm high. When I am edged, and reach that moment when  just one more stroke would get me to the promised land and she stops, I am both aroused and frustrated. My hope is renewed when she starts again and then I am frustrated as I hump the air.

This is the positive combination of arousal and frustration that makes enforced chastity fun and interesting for both of us. The effects of this last about twenty-four hours for me. So, my sexual battery is fully charged with nowhere to go. That’s frustrating in a good way.

I don’t know why it happens, but every so often frustration overtakes arousal. Wednesday night after being edged a couple of times it started. The frustration persisted on Thursday. I wanted to come. I also realized that if I were unlocked I wouldn’t do anything about it. I have no idea why I felt that way. I wanted 2.0 to give me an orgasm.

I always want Mrs.Lion to get me off, so that wasn’t different. I just felt tired and sad that there was another week to wait for that chance to come. Then I got annoyed at myself for making such a big deal about an orgasm I asked to delay. Illogical, horny, frustrated lion. I can’t be too much fun when I feel this way.I start questioning why I do this. I act like I can stop anytime I want. Mrs. Lion, when I mention it to her, doesn’t say I can’t stop. She just discusses it with me in a way that suggests that I do have that control. I don’t say anything at the time, but it makes me worry that enforced chastity is just something I can control at any time. I don’t want that. I want to hear a firm, “No, we aren’t going to stop even if you are tired of it.” Maybe 2.0 or 2.1 will be more definite.

All this frustration started me thinking about how long I should wait between orgasms. Everyone has an opinion on this. When I am feeling that negative frustration, no wait seems right. But after over two years of this, I have some idea of what works. I am most horny on the 5th day. That suggests the bare minimum wait has to be more than that. After three weeks my interest falls off sharply.I think Mrs. Lion has a good handle on my schedule. My current wait is at least 13 days. It will probably be somewhat longer than that. It’s enough time to maximize the effects of her teasing and play and for me to get desperate for release. Have we reached the point where two orgasms or less per month is right? I don’t like thinking about that, but based on 2.0’s comments, this might be my future.

I don’t think I acted badly because of the recent funk/frustration. But I know Mrs. Lion was aware of it. It’s times like this that I most need her to be firm, even strict and to let me know that I can’t quit or change things. Maybe the frustration is my need for boundaries.  I trust 2.0 will help me get back on track.
