I’ve settled into my cage. It’s comfortably in place. I’m not particularly interested in sex right now. Last night, Mrs. Lion removed the cage and we snuggled. It was wonderful but I wasn’t horny. This isn’t anything to worry about. Sometimes I’m just not interested. Mrs. Lion let me run around wild for a few hours and then locked me up before bedtime. It was a pleasant break to be able to pee without worrying about hitting the target.

Mrs. Lion didn’t attempt to spank me. Today is punishment day. As far as I know, I haven’t broken any rules. I suppose it might be a good excuse for a play spanking. Of course, Mrs. Lion could get out the Box O’Fun. that would force us to play. Maybe that will be the jump start we need. Mrs. Lion has written that she wants to continue our FLRD and our BDSM (lots of initials!) activities. My lack of sexual interest could be tied to our inactivity in the power exchange.

I know. How can I claim inactivity when I am sitting here locked in a male chastity device. It’s true that I am. But it’s also true that male chastity is a normal part of our lives. I’m taking it for granted. I shouldn’t. Mrs. Lion can easily fix that.

More likely, the source of my apathy are the severe allergies I’m suffering. The antihistamine makes me a bit lethargic. Allergies have a way of slowing things down. I think Mrs. Lion is right. We need to step things up regardless of my lack of enthusiasm. It isn’t fair to put that on her alone. I know that. But right now I just don’t have anything to contribute. I’m sure that will change. For now, we are in the rare state when I don’t have any ideas.

“Are we ever going to play or is it just ‘lock Lion up for good'”? That was Lion’s question to me last night around bedtime. Bear in mind he was caged about 24 hours at that point. And he’d had an orgasm the night before. And yesterday I’d teased him by saying he’s “broken” butt could be cured by putting it in the sling.

Poor Lion. He’s so neglected. One day locked away in his new, improved cage and he’s already got cabin fever. Of course I’m making fun of him. He has nothing to worry about. He knows he’ll be unlocked and played with. I’ve already ratted myself out for being the reason we don’t play more. I need to get off my ass. Just because we didn’t play one day that’s no indication of never playing again.

Tonight I’ll offer a play spanking again. Neither of us is sure why he hasn’t wanted one. I’m not sure if I should just do it and hope he’ll get into it as we go along. I’ll probably pick another item to torture him with. I have many. I’m sure one of them will work.

Sometimes very small changes make a big difference. My shortened Jail Bird is only 1/4-inch shorter than it’s previous 1-1/4 inch length. This is a 20% reduction in length. I wanted the change to maintain better contact between my penis and the top of the cage. My theory, which turns out to be correct, is that the shorter cage would keep my urethra centered at all times. In any case, I like the modification.

I admit that I’ve had some second thoughts about wearing a chastity device. Sometimes I just get tired of being locked up. I felt that way on Monday night after Mrs. Lion locked me into the modified Jail Bird. It felt pointless.

In the cold light of day, I realize that wearing a chastity device is far from unnecessary. It is the connector that assures Mrs. Lion and I have intimate contact. It’s true that with or without a device we will kiss, snuggle, and she will get me off. But our sexual focus gets blurry when I am wild.

Mrs. Lion admitted that she sometimes gets “lazy” when it comes to BDSM. It’s why, she wrote in a post that she doesn’t do anal play. She doesn’t feel up to the extra activity. The same is true of bondage and using our dungeon. CBT (clothespins, ball tying, etc.) and locking me in chastity are within her energy comfort zone, she said.

Monday night she was willing to give me a play spanking. She asked if I wanted one and I said I didn’t. I was tired and itchy. This inactivity isn’t just her problem. We both need structure to help us build habits. The chastity device has been a big success.

Mrs. Lion does enforce my no spilling and no eating first rules. But beyond that, FLRD has stalled. I’ve stopped suggesting play sessions. I do remind Mrs. Lion about manscaping, but I feel guilty when I ask her to play. This is a communication gap that’s on me as much as her. We need to either decide to stop play or find a way to make it part of our lives.

We’re both trending toward inactivity. From the time each of us comes home, we engage in solitary activities. I watch TV and Mrs. Lion plays games on her iPad. Conversation is pretty limited. I’m not sure we need to make radical changes. But the trend worries me a bit.

My surgery seems to have triggered our return to a less active lifestyle. We had to stop playing or doing much else together. Mrs. Lion used a lot of energy taking care of me. When she had nothing to do, she played her iPad games. I wasn’t great company being under the effects of pain meds.

My recovery was slow, but it is complete and it’s been months since I took any pain medication. But the damage was done. Our habits changed. It’s not that we haven’t tried to spice things up. Mrs. Lion was performing maintenance spankings more than once a week. That didn’t last long because it was just too much for me. We’ve gone from two or more a week to none now. We are both way too easy to discourage.

This isn’t Mrs. Lion’s fault. It’s way too easy to blame the dominant partner for the inertia. We’re both responsible. I stopped asking her to do things to me because I feel pushy and controlling when I do. I’m convinced that our FLRD and enforced chastity are work for Mrs. Lion. Her post the other day made it clear that at least for now, she doesn’t want to do more than lock me up and tease me.

That’s quite a lot. Most guys don’t get that. It may be that my expectations are too grand. I want much more than Mrs. Lion feels good about doing. Until that post, I didn’t realize it. I have a great marriage and a partner who is willing to lock me in a chastity device and make me wait for orgasms. I’m truly grateful for that. Thank you, sweetie.
