Participating in NOVember

Greetings all and happy holidays.

I missed out on finishing LOCKtober this year due to some doctor visits, so I stayed locked until the 24th before putting it back on that evening. I’ve decided to tackle NOvember from day one. Things are going well so far; I realize many members might find my approach a bit odd since they wear their cage constantly, but I actually go over 300 days annually without release. However, doing an entire consecutive month without any orgasm or sexual activity is rare for me.

I’ve found it fascinating to be mindful of not reaching orgasm, nor unlocking (or being permitted to unlock). So far, I’ve swapped my cage once—taking the old one off and immediately slipping on a different one just to mix things up. The urge for a quick jerk was quite strong in that moment. LOL

I’ve now put my regular daily cage back on with a timed lock box that resets every day, having learned from past experiences. It’s curious how the desire to unlock grows as days pass simply because I’m constantly thinking about it.

My everyday cage doesn’t allow much stimulation; the glans ring tends to chafe and hurt quickly when stimulated, so while it’s on, there are no shortcuts or release options. If NOvember goes smoothly, I might aim for a Christmas release date. But I’m cautious bringing this up with my key holder—be careful what you wish for! So we shall see.

Is anyone else participating in NOvember? Mikel
