Pursuing my experience with chastity cages it become obvious that it help me better feel what could be life without a dick.
Actually in my last two periods of chastity, just around ten days each, in the Christmas and new year times and in the last week, I used a flat cage and now an Holly Trainer nub (which is very small). With those "enclosed" tube you never feel the penis and after a few days it's like living without it.
I will go on like this for a while to see how my feeling evolve. For now it gives me the impression that I no longer have a dick and I feel very happy like that. It seems that the experience is like a test for a diskless life. My big surprise is that I like it very much. I'll see for the future.
The cage is also very helpful to get away from masturbation. Being in an enclosed cage is helpful to get rid of a bad habit. Last jerk off Nov 19th.

Thank you for sharing this experience, though it does somewhat what LT used to say back on EAv2 that there was no really good 'test drive' method for trying what nullification is like. I have no experience either way, so can't venture an opinion, however at the very least it seems like it is better than nothing.

Presumably (and somewhat speculating here) since chastity alone wouldn't stop T production, to really do a good simulation one might need to combine it with some form of chemical castration in order to get as close as possible to what a full nullo experience would be like.

One of these days this will be one of my next goal I guess.

Certainly not trying to push you into it, as always wait until you are really sure! But if you do take the step it will be interesting to know how well chastity actually does match the nullo experience...

I discovered male chastity a few years ago and while in consultation with my sex therapist the topics came into the discussion. She told me that the use of chastity cages was consistent with psychological castration. At that time, I didn’t use them very often (the adaption curve is long) but from the more consistent use in the last six months I felt what she really meant.

I have to say that my use is basically to control masturbation and is rather oriented towards an attitude of castration compared to couples who use the device more as a sexual play or domination/submission. In this context, I must say that I feel it nice not to feel my cock while it’s trapped in a small cage (about one inch or less, depending on the model I use). I associated the “non feeling” of the penis and the serious reduction of erection to some kind of castration. Which could relate to the psychological castration explained by my sex therapist.

Although it’s very different by the fact that all my T is still there and my sexual drive active but not seeing and feeling the penis for days, and recently for weeks, brings in a strange feeling of wellness without it. Much less desire to play with it, considering it absent from my live. I think I’m experiencing an entry into the psychological castration. Is it possibly an adaptation step toward the complete fixing? Maybe.
Has anyone experienced something similar?



The discussion is open

I like chastity devices, but that's only a kink and I normally don't go more than one day with it. It's horrible to use at work. Hypothetically, it could give a sense of castration, but it depends on how you deal with it. I believe It's much more likely to make one get even more sexual, since he'll always stay with something in his genitals. Hormone production won't stop nevertheless.

I heard of two gay guys that the extended use of those devices, specially the inverted cages, can cause permanent damage for the penis, making it dysfunctional and shrink. I don't know if that's a trustworthy information, considering that there are important psychological effects on that matter that personal experience won't gather.

Not sure of permanent damage, but lack of regular erections does lead to shrinkage. It may be permanent, if it is long term.

Never used one, or wanted to, and now no point in trying and I don't think I could, so opinion only...

I suspect how using a chastity device works for a person is probably going to be a question of what their expectations / reasons / attitudes about it are, and possibly the sort of device design.

I hadn't seen any real discussion of injuries from using them, other than the occasional tale (usually with rude remarks) about some guy getting a device (usually a cock-ring) stuck and having to go to the ER and get it removed. However just out of curiosity I decided to do a StartPage search on "injury from use of chastity cages" I found a good bit ranging from AI summaries, to forums on chastity, to articles posted by places selling them.

Essentially most said there is not a lot of risk from a properly fitting and made device, used with proper care for cleaning, and monitoring for any signs of problems. Most of the problems amount to sores and other skin issues. However if a device is to tight or otherwise ill fitting, and not watched for signs of issues, you can get damage from loss of proper blood flow.... All of the sites that advised on 'how to' emphasized the need for proper sizing and extreme attention to hygiene...

All of this seemed pretty intuitive, and was about what I expected just from thinking about what wearing just about any sort of snug fitting item on any part of the body.

It's real that getting accustomed to a chastity device could be an ordeal. The size, the quality, the material, the conception so much parameters to make it possibly comfortable or the opposite. All depending on your motivation and anatomy. I could say that it took me more than a year to really get comfortable with some of the one I had purchased. But it's now, and in the long run, that I got this nice dickless feeling with the small cages. Those cages, are in my opinion, the one's that are compatible with the search of a pseudo castration experience. I agree that there is a lot of kink in the use of chastity devices but again, in my observations on dedicated web sites, the kink is mostly searched by sexually active guys (gay or strait) and the type of cage used could then also be different. They would use sizes that give a little more room compared to the flat cages and with some space between the bars that gives more contact with the clothing, maintaining some arousal. When using this type of cage, with a younger age, with a stronger sexual drive, the kinks are more than welcome. It becomes a complex sexual play.
About the damage to the penis it could also depends on many variables. The longer the worse of course but with a smoother approach it could be with no effect for years. But it largely depend on the individuals and their age. For myself near the seventies, the sexual drive is much lower compare to my fifties and I have the motivation, with the help of the device to engage in a more deeper thoughts for castration. If longer encaged period brings me dysfunctional erection it would be more than welcome. I would feel it as reason to get castrated for good.

You made very good points Wheely. Especially in the above quote. My reasons, expectations are very of my own and may not fit the ones of another guy much younger in a sexual active relation. What I feel as a pseudo castration using a small or flat cage is accordance with what I live and feel in my life right now. It will evolve in the near future and it would be my journey with my feelings and my decision. For now I'm happy with that dickless feeling as I woke up every morning with a smile on my face. A kind of pleasure to put away the sex drive. How it really works I don't know, but by not seeing, feeling or touching the penis it like it's gone away in a certain manner. Needless to say that the older age is quite helping I guess.
