lion's penis in double cock ring
Lion’s locking cock ring. I meant to get it on him last night, but with all the other things we had to do, I forgot to put it on him.

I didn’t have much luck getting Lion excited last night. It was late and I was tired. I’m sure he was too. We had some errands to run after I got home from work and then we had dinner at Panera. I still have too many things to do to get ready for our trip so when I finally snuggled in with Lion it was 9:30.

Lion reminded me, in the midst of my chores, that I owed him a spanking. Oops. I would have forgotten. I made sure to give him harder swats and more of them. I think I was a few swats short of drawing blood. He had the tell tale spots forming on his right cheek. When we snuggled he said his buns were still warm.

I was going to lock Lion in the locking cock ring, but by the time I was done with the dog’s ice cream and letting her out, I was feeling a little out of it. I was probably just tired, but I forgot all about the ring. As a result, Lion is still wild. I’m not really sure how much the locking cock ring does for him in terms of feeling my control. It’s true he has something locked on him but it’s not the same as the Jail Bird keeping him from getting hard.

It probably doesn’t make too much sense to lock Lion away now anyway. We have a few days before we leave and being locked up causes more trouble than it’s worth when we’re camping. When we get back, I’ll lock him in something. I don’t know if it will be the locking cock ring, the Jail Bird or the new Chinese cage. I just know Lion needs something to make him feel all warm and fuzzy.

Until he has to pee, that is.

Just a slight misalignment in the chastity device creates a messy urine shower.

I’ve been having an interesting conversation with JosieLynn, the maker of the Cherry Keeper 3D-printed chastity device. He pointed out some issues with my idea to keep my urethra centered at all times. My funnel concept would still cause troubles if the urethra moved to the side and was essentially facing into the funnel wall it would cause messy spray.

The holy Grail in chastity device design is to immobilize the head of the penis so that the head is pressed firmly against the front of the device and the urethra is fully exposed at all times. The problem with the current designs came home to roost in the Lions den last night. I just couldn’t keep lined up and urination was truly a mess. Mrs. Lion tried to line me up without removing the device and couldn’t. Finally, she removed it and left me wild for the time being.

Even though I know that a 3D-printed device will have a rough finish I may have to sand smooth, the process represents the only possible way to customize a device sufficiently to fully immobilize the head of my penis without creating other problems by being too tight. Having said that, the HT Nub offers a fairly good off-the-shelf solution. When I wore it, my urethra poked through the small hole in the center of the tube. The device fit very comfortably. However, over the course of a day, my urethra did wander and I found it was no longer poking out. I managed to get it back in place with some wriggling of the device, but it was a pain.

After all these years of wearing a chastity device, I’m really tired of dealing with this problem. Mrs. Lion is fine with me remaining wild. I don’t want that. Wearing the device gives me a sense of security. Dealing with urine spray is a total turn off. Fortunately, there may be a light at the end of this messy, smelly tunnel. Once I’ve tried the standard Cherry Keeper, I’ll have a better idea what to do next. JosieLynn charges a $75 custom design fee. The cost of the custom device itself is about the same as the standard model. As I recall, the cage component is about $40 for the deluxe finish. This is a reasonable investment to solve what has become a deal breaker for me.

In the meantime, I’ll probably go back into the Jail Bird after our Memorial day camping trip. When the standard Cherry Keeper arrives I’ll try it and get a better idea about whether or not customizing it could be the solution to the problem. JosieLynn made a custom device for himself that narrowed the very tip of the cage and featured a wide shelf to lock in the head (the headlock feature). He said that prevented any movement whatsoever and everything remained where it belonged.

Chances are, for that to work that shelf would need to be pretty wide. That means the head would have to be forced through a fairly small opening in order to get into the cage. Since there is that notch below the head, once inside the cage, there wouldn’t be undue constriction on the penis. The combination of pressure holding the head against the end of the cage and a narrow tip, should lock the urethra in position.

I imagine that Mrs. Lion will have to use the old “nylon stocking” technique to get me into that cage. If you’re not familiar with it, you take a nylon stocking and thread it through the opening in the cage, then put your penis into the stocking and get it into the cage is much you can. Then use the stocking to pull your penis into position. Once in position, continue pulling the stocking and it will slip off and leave you correctly positioned in the cage. I had to use this technique with the Lori chastity tubes I reviewed years ago.

I wish I had the 3D design skills to tinker with this concept myself. I have software that will do it, but I have no real idea how to use it for this purpose. Also, no matter who does the actual design, new and accurate measurements will be required.

I admit that I never really gave a great deal of thought to the anatomy of my penis. Even when I’ve worked to get a properly fitting device, my energy was principally spent on figuring out the shortest length I could use. Now, I realize that the construction of the flaccid penis offers opportunities I hadn’t considered. The most significant one is the fact that the head of the penis is wider than the shaft it sits on. That means a “shelf” inside the cage can hold the head firmly in place regardless of how the shaft may change in the course of the day.

This is how my flaccid penis measures. The head is almost half an inch wider than the shaft beneath it.

I did a quick measurement to get some idea how this shelf might work. The head of my penis is 1.12 inches in diameter and the “neck” is .7 inches in diameter. That means there’s about 1/2 inch difference at the neck. So the shelf could be 1/2 inch smaller in diameter than the cage. I suspect it could be even narrower without causing any problems.

We all know that the flaccid penis gets shorter and longer depending on our body position, temperature of the air water, etc. We also know that the shaft is very flexible and can comfortably be compressed or stretched within reasonable limits. I think this property is the key to building the chastity device that will finally make urination completely trouble-free. As long as the head of my penis is firmly locked in place, it doesn’t matter how the rest of my penis moves inside the device.

Lion had two little (approximately five inches) round rosy spots on his tushy after the first installment of multiple punishments. He was squirmy and yelping while I was swatting but said the effect wore off shortly afterwards. Either I didn’t hit hard enough or 200-ish swats are not enough to leave a lasting impression. Of course, Lion’s hide is notoriously difficult to harm.

[Lion — Much as I hate to say this, I think harder swats and more of them would make a stronger and more lasting impression on my bottom. I’m not claiming last night’s spanking didn’t hurt. It did. But it was considerably gentler than Mrs. Lion’s experiments.]

This, of course, is a sort of experiment. I have no idea if Lion will respond more favorably to multiple days of punishment. Furthermore, should today’s punishment still be spanking? Would a mouth soaping be an alternative? Or corner time? Those last two have been used as “dessert” but can they effectively be used on their own?

So I had an idea for a new rule percolating in my head yesterday but I couldn’t remember what it was until this morning. As you’ve probably read, Lion bought a new cage. I’m expected to lock him in it when it arrives. And that brings me to the rule. I’d like him to talk to me before buying things he wants me to use. This can also head off any issues of having four paddles that are sort of what I’m looking for but not actually it. Obviously, if it’s a gift or a surprise then he shouldn’t have to discuss it. But did we really need two Fleshlights that don’t really work the way I’d hoped? For someone who is advocating for downsizing, Lion still buys a lot of stuff.

Lion and I will discuss this new rule to see if it is viable. I don’t want to cut him off from every purchase but he gets a little fast and loose with toys and cages sometimes. Maybe I need to lock his credit card in a cage so he can’t play with it.

When everything is lined up; my urethra peaks out of the center opening. Peeing is not a problem then. Should it slip down a bit, there will be a messy spray.

Mrs. Lion seemed surprised when she read about my decision to order a Cherry Keeper 3D printed chastity device. After all, I do have a large collection of these items. So far, the only one I wear regularly is the Jail Bird. Part of the reason I do is that it’s out and available when it isn’t on me. The main reason is that it fits perfectly and is very comfortable. I suspect that Mrs. Lion also likes the steel better than white nylon.

The Jail Bird is an old friend. I’ve been wearing it since 2014. It’s gone through several modifications, primarily cage shortening, to improve the fit. It’s very unlikely that any off-the-shelf product can fit as well. Having said that, there is one issue with the Jail Bird that I wish could be fixed: the alignment of my urethra in the cage.

Each time I’ve had the cage shortened I expected the firmer contact with the front bars would keep my urethra centered and unobstructed. Now that the cage length is down to just 1 inch, the shortest Jail Bird can be made, my urethra still wanders a little bit. All it takes is for it to move slightly behind one of the bars to produce an unfortunate, messy spray of urine.

It may turn out that short of a urethral tube, no device will provide continuous, trouble-free alignment for the urethra. A partial solution is to sit when peeing. That way, messy spray is contained inside the toilet. Of course, if the alignment is off my balls get an unwelcome urine shower. My solution is to keep a Q-tip handy at all times. I can use it to realign the head of my penis so that spray is eliminated.

I really want a trouble-free device. Our collective experience with very short cages suggests there may be an opportunity to build devices that effectively hold the penis head position and, of course, provide protection from sexual arousal. The market dictates what’s important when designing and building male chastity devices. Until the last few years, there’s been very little feedback to the makers.

Thanks to blogs and forums, it’s possible for people who will design and make male chastity devices to keep their fingers on the pulse of the market. Discussion of security is more and more infrequent. Guys are maturing and recognize that they are wearing these devices because they asked to. That means, one of the major considerations in chastity device design: security is very low priority. With our discovery that cage length can be very short without compromising comfort, another formerly important fit issue has fallen by the wayside.

As my one-inch Jail Bird illustrates, the cage itself only has to contain the head of the penis. The flaccid body comfortably collapses upon itself and lives behind the cage and in front of the base ring. That means we can get a design that fits the head like a glove and has a mechanical mechanism, like the headlock in the Cherry Keeper, that doesn’t allow the head to pull back at any time. This fit should guarantee there won’t be any more migration causing those unpleasant sprays.

The Nub is a good example of a device that’s on the right track. Its 1 inch tube tightly holds the penis head and the urethra pokes through the single front opening. In my experiments wearing it, I find that the urethra can at times wander away from its position. Getting it back in position can be problematic.

I have an idea. What if the very front of the cage has a short funnel-like structure. If the head can be held firmly in place inside the cage, the short funnel can encourage the urethra to remain centered. The walls of this sloping shape can form a sort of seal between the head of the penis and the opening. This will assure proper alignment. I’m not suggesting that the funnel taper to a small opening. It doesn’t have to. It just needs to provide a little extra encouragement to keep the urethra where it belongs.

Once you stop worrying about security and somehow encasing the entire penis in a cage, you can think about the issues that make long-term chastity device wear more practical. I think it’s worth a try.
