Chastity and orgasm denial discussion

My partner and I paused our continuous cage wearing for a while due to some mechanical problems with the device and considerable pressure from running our business. We resumed normal routines, but I slipped back into old habits, ending up releasing myself two or three times each day. Now that most of those pressures and hardware issues are sorted out, we’ve decided to return to being locked in permanently. My first release will depend on a coin toss game: every morning we flip a coin; heads means the lock-up timer gets extended by another 48 hours, tails means no change. We started with three days initially, so far it’s been six days total while two more remain pending (fingers crossed!). Previously our longest stretch was thirty-three days, but these past few weeks have felt much tougher than I recall. As my partner puts it, I’m ‘thirstier than the dog.’ The question is: when you take a break for a time like this, do you find returning to full-time chastity more difficult (HA!)?
