Chastity and orgasm denial discussion

I believe I’ve finally nailed down my routine for getting through the night. I purchased some quality compression shorts from a sports retailer, and if you’re struggling with overnight wear, I’d suggest trying them out. They pull up high enough to keep my cage tight against me, which is excellent. No more painful nighttime erections where the device slips about a third of the way down your shaft while you sleep. This is one of those classic hurdles for people starting long-term lockup, and it feels good to be making headway; just wanted to share.

My KH has been incredibly supportive as I move toward 24/7 wear. She wants me to keep the cage on during sleep, but she’s okay with me waking her up using our safeword if things get too uncomfortable physically. There have been a few times I’ve needed this, and other times I’ve just asked for an unlock before bed without trying to sleep in it.

Tonight, I told her I wanted to try sleeping caged again, which she liked. We had a large Sunday dinner and went to bed reasonably early. Around 11:30, an erection woke me up. It was uncomfortable but much better than the severe pain of previous nights—this was discomfort rather than sharp pain. Sitting on the toilet, counting down from 100 back up, and peeing helped it go away nicely. I’m really pleased with this; if I don’t unlock before roughly 9 PM tonight, I’ll beat my record for continuous wear at nearly 36 hours! That previous attempt was a real grind and quite unpleasant, whereas this feels more like a rewarding process.

Of course, there’s always something new. Our bodies and minds aren’t perfectly suited to easily adapt to a chastity device. I lay in bed for hours after that erection but just couldn’t drift off again. It’s day 7 since my last orgasm, and my mind is full of fantasies as well as the conflict between wanting release and preferring to stay locked longer. Here come more erections. Count to 100, count back down. Sit on the toilet. Repeat. After about three hours, I gave up on sleep for now. It’s nearly 2:30 AM here. True to my word, I won’t wake my KH or ask for an unlock unless genuine distress forces me to. I’m happy with how well this method curbs those nasty nocturnal erections, but I am frustrated by the inability to fall back asleep initially. An hour of sleep between toilet trips is fine, provided you can actually get that first sleep. I worry there may be some long nights ahead as my body continues adjusting.
