Chastity Lifestyle Blog By Experienced Sex Educators

September brings Sexual Health Awareness Month, the perfect time to explore practices that enhance our intimate well-being. While chastity might seem like an unlikely candidate for sexual wellness, this practice of wearing a device that limits direct genital stimulation offers surprising benefits for individuals and couples seeking healthier intimacy patterns. Despite what many might believe, the chastity lifestyle doesn’t purely reside in kinky territory. Chastity addresses three core principles that sexual health experts consistently champion: consent, communication, and mindful pleasure.  For beginners curious about self-control and ways to create more intimacy, chastity play for couples opens doors to exploration that prioritizes safety, intention, and genuine intimacy over quick gratification. Self-Control and Sexual Awareness Chastity can alter your approach to sexual impulses by establishing distance between impulse and reaction. This heightened awareness encourages healthier sexual habits, teaching patience and reducing dependence on immediate release as the default response to arousal.  A chastity practice demands attention to body-safe protocols: selecting medical-grade materials like polycarbonate or quality resin, maintaining a proper hygiene ritual, and ensuring correct fit. Safer sexual habits are the core foundation of chastity play, so locked folks essentially observe Sexual Health September all year round. When approached responsibly, chastity can reduce risks associated with compulsive behaviors, and reinforces consent and mindfulness. Limitations have a funny way of expanding possibilities in the context of chastity play in relationships. What starts as 'I can't do that' quickly becomes 'What else can we try?’ Remove one option, and suddenly you're experimenting with ten others you never bothered trying. Communication Skills A successful chastity dynamic can’t exist without a clear dialogue. For couples, the chastity lifestyle is built on mutual consent, and it requires honest discussions about boundaries, duration, comfort levels, and expectations. This means negotiating *before* any physical play begins. Even selfed-locked chastity wearers benefit from this communication aspect through internal dialogue and journaling. Tracking urges, challenges, and discoveries creates a healthy relationship with sexual needs and patterns. The vulnerability required to discuss such intimate boundaries often deepens overall relationship communication. Intimate Connection Removing the “goal” of orgasm during partner sex shifts focus to the erotic journey as a whole. Partners discover more touching, extended foreplay, creative exploration, and emotional intimacy. The cage becomes a reminder that pleasure isn’t limited to one outcome, and that opens the door to connection that feels richer and more layered. Instead of rushing toward release, you end up savoring the buildup, paying more attention to each other, and finding magic in the moments you might have overlooked before. Chastity and Sexual Health: Lock Up, Level Up ⬆️ Chastity is so much more than a kink. It supports self-control, open communication, and intimate exploration. Whether you’re wearing a cage on your own or sharing the experience with a partner, the habits you build (like clear boundaries, regular communication, and a focus on pleasure beyond orgasm) are the same foundations that support long-term sexual health and wellbeing. 

Earlier this month, we asked the CB-X community to get personal about prostate play and chastity in our Anal August community survey. The data revealed patterns, preferences, and truths that challenged a few of our assumptions. Many responses indicate that prostate stimulation is not a side note in chastity life, but a defining part of how many of you approach pleasure and control. After analyzing your answers, two core beliefs were affirmed for us. Your collective wisdom as a community offers perspective that no amount of expert opinion could match, and your honesty creates space for others to explore openly. Which is exactly why we are sharing these results. Here's what the CB-X community had to say about their real-world experiences with prostate play and chastity. Question 1: What’s your experience level with chastity play?  The majority of respondents identified as intermediate or experienced, showing that the CB-X community skews toward seasoned participants rather than complete beginners. Question 2: How would you describe your current anal play experience?  Most respondents (63%) described their current anal play experience as intermediate, comfortable with plugs and medium toys, while a smaller portion identified as advanced or expert. This shows that the majority of the CB-X community is exploring anal play at a moderate level rather than at the extremes. Question 3: What type of orgasms do you experience most often during chastity? Ruined orgasms and traditional ejaculatory orgasms were the most common, but prostate-only orgasms were reported by more than a third of respondents, showing that prostate stimulation is becoming a central part of chastity play. Question 4: How often do you incorporate anal play into your chastity routine?  Most participants reported sometimes or weekly anal play, with over 60% making it a regular part of their lockup, while only a small minority said they never engage in it. Question 5: If you partake in prostate play, did you decide to explore anal play / prostate orgasms as a result of being locked in chastity? Nearly half of respondents said chastity was the reason they started exploring prostate play, while just over half had already ventured into anal stimulation before locking up.  Question 6: If you have experienced a prostate orgasm, do you prefer them to traditional ejaculatory orgasms (from penis stimulation)?  Almost 45% said they prefer prostate orgasms, while another 44% had never had one, highlighting both the growing interest and the untapped potential of P-spot exploration in chastity. Question 7: What types of products do you incorporate into anal / prostate play when you’re locked in chastity?  Dildos were the most widely used at nearly 78%, followed by anal lubricants and sex toys for prostate play, showing that most chastity wearers are integrating multiple tools into their anal play rather than limiting themselves to one category. —- As a whole, we see that the majority of folks who took the survey are far beyond curious experimentation and into serious exploration. You aren’t just dipping your toes into anal play; you’re living proof that chastity isn’t a one-size-fits-all experience. From strategic ruined orgasms to full-blown prostate-only climax sessions, the data confirms what we've always believed: your chastity journey should fit you, not the other way around. As Anal August 2025 comes to a close, we want to know how these insights landed with you.  Are you more inclined to explore the backdoor, or are you content with your current approach? Drop your thoughts in the comments. Nothing but(t) love, CB-X 

Today we are observing one final sex-positive holiday in July to cap the month off with a bang! Or, in this case, a perfectly ruined one. Thursday, July 31 is National Orgasm Day, a celebration of explosive sexual satisfaction. For the chastity community, this observance hits a little differently. When it comes to chastity orgasms, some say that  chastity"rules" permit orgasms entirely, because "what's the point of being in chastity, then?"  Is it against the rules to have a chastity orgasm?  Depends on who you ask.  We’ve said it once, and we’ll keep saying it until we’re blue in the balls: having a chastity orgasm comes down to personal preference, lifestyle, relationship dynamics, and consent, of course.  For kinky chastity play folks who do include or permit orgasms in their situation or relationship, the approach is often strategic and intentional. All chastity orgasms are not created equal, and understanding the different types can help you explore or discover what works best for your dynamic. How are orgasms different from ejaculation? For male orgasms, there is a difference between orgasms and ejaculation. Orgasms are a result of intense pleasure and pelvic contractions. Otherwise known as the peak of climax and toe-curling release you feel when you come. Ejaculation is purely physical; the expulsion of semen from the penis. What are the different types of orgasms?  Beyond traditional orgasms, chastity enthusiasts explore various types of release including sissygasms (prostate-only orgasms achieved through anal stimulation), forced orgasms (continued stimulation past the point of comfort), nipplegasms (climax achieved through nipple stimulation alone), and ruined orgasms (interrupted climax that leaves you wanting more). Each type of orgasm can serve a different psychological and physical purpose in power exchange dynamics. Enter the ruined orgasm, which can be one of the most powerful tools in a D/s dynamic. What is a ruined orgasm?  In the world of ruined orgasms, the journey outweighs the destination. In a few words, ruined orgasms are typically defined by an unexpected interruption during orgasm. For couples exploring chastity, ruined orgasms offer a fascinating middle ground between complete denial and full release. They're not just about teasing (though there's plenty of that). They're about maintaining that heightened state of arousal that makes chastity play so psychologically compelling.  A ruined orgasm happens when stimulation stops right at the point of no return, allowing ejaculation to occur without the satisfying rush of pleasure. Think of it as your body going through the motions while your brain gets left hanging. The result? Semen release, without the feel-good chemicals that typically flood your system during a full orgasm. The key difference from regular orgasms is what happens next. Instead of feeling satisfied and sleepy, most people remain aroused, frustrated, and ready for more. It's like having dessert that looks perfect but tastes like cardboard. Technically you got what you wanted, but somehow you're left wanting more. What does a ruined orgasm feel like? "Welp, that took the wind out of my sails" might be the most widely-recognized idiom that captures the feeling of a ruined orgasm. Picture yourself sailing toward your destination with wind filling your sails, the anticipation building as you gain momentum with each gust. The refreshing breeze carries you forward, everything aligned perfectly for a smooth arrival at your intended harbor. But then, just as you're approaching the dock with full speed and excitement, the wind suddenly dies. Your sails go slack, your boat loses its power, and instead of the satisfying arrival you were building toward, you're left drifting aimlessly in still water. The momentum that felt so promising just moments before has completely vanished, leaving you stranded somewhere between where you started and where you desperately wanted to be.  That sudden shift from anticipation and building intensity to an abrupt, unsatisfying halt is what defines a ruined orgasm.  What is the difference between a ruined orgasm and edging? Ruined orgasms and edging are two distinct experiences. Edging brings you right to the brink of orgasm (that 9.9 out of 10 feeling) and then backs off completely. No ejaculation, no release. Just pure, concentrated frustration that builds anticipation for next time. Ruined orgasms push past that point of no return but withdraw stimulation just as orgasm begins. Your body completes the physical process, but the mental satisfaction is squashed due to the sudden lack of stimulation. Both serve different purposes in chastity play, and many couples use them in combination to create increasingly intense experiences. "I try to edge myself but keep accidentally ruining orgasms. What should I do?"  Practice edging more, but start further from the edge. Using a 1-10 scale where 10 is orgasm, try staying at a 6 or 7 instead of pushing to 9. As you get better at recognizing the lower levels, you can gradually work closer to the edge. Treat accidental ruins as learning experiences rather than failures, because they're part of the process of developing better control! Why ruin a perfectly good orgasm? The appeal lies in what doesn't happen after. Regular orgasms typically trigger a refractory period where arousal drops and that submissive, attentive energy fades. Ruined orgasms allow for semen release while maintaining that heightened psychological state.  Many couples discover that ruined orgasms can actually intensify horniness and desire rather than satisfy it. Instead of feeling "done," the experience often leaves people more focused on their partner and eager to please. Are ruined orgasms a reward or a punishment? Again, depends on who you ask. Some view ruined orgasms as a reward. They get stimulation and release without losing that aroused energy. Others see them as delicious torture that keeps them focused on their partner. Both perspectives can be right within the same relationship, depending on context and mood. Here are some real-world experiences to broaden your POV: "The ruined orgasms took the edge off how horny he was, but he was still quite horny and had a very satisfying orgasm hours after his ruined orgasm. So, for us, it's not a reward or a punishment. It's an appetizer." "I think it's silly to pretend that there are 'technicalities' here. It is simply a question of the sub's response and perception. I fetishized ruins and would perceive them as a sort of punishment, but it's a punishment that I crave if it allows me to serve the Dom's cruelty more. I know a sub who was ruined after a long session and almost had a mental breakdown as a result. Master later told me that was a harsh punishment for his sub, and he wouldn’t take it so lightly next time. Dom must simply remain aware." "For me they are both rewards. I love to be edged by her or by me. To be constantly horny and aroused is the best. The ruined orgasm is just to release fluids that will come out at awkward times, but still keep me horny and complacent." "Ruining an O is much more detrimental to me personally so it's more of a punishment. Edging is the best! I want her to play with me all the time, and if she never lets me O, then I am staying up and active constantly. It is a win win for me. Short Version: Edging = Reward, Ruin = Punishment with a reward to get there." General tips for ruined orgasms Prioritize communication & consent. Establish boundaries and clear signals or safe words in advance. The sub should be able to communicate their arousal level on a 1-10 scale. Timing takes practice. Don't worry about "ruining the ruin." Remember this: try first, fail second, learn third.  Some find that using numbing agents like penis desensitizing sprays can help with delay and timing.  Three ways to ruin a chastity sub's orgasm 1: Manual hand stimulation only. Sit on your partner's stomach, reverse cowgirl style, and keep him in a flat, laying position. Tease his balls one by one, then start incorporating the penis. Body language is everything. The more he starts to move, the closer he might be to climax. Abruptly stop when he says he's about to cum and enjoy the pathetic dribble. For added humiliation, make him eat his cum from the bed and his cage.  2: Get behind your sub and get close to his body. Start with a wand vibrator on the penis tip only while pegging with an anal dildo from behind. When he comes close, remove the vibration but keep pounding until he starts to ejaculate out of his locked, non-erect cock. Keep penetrating him with the dildo to force out another dribble or four. You'll notice a lil' squirt with every thrust.  3: One couple plays an intense guessing game where the sub is let out of chastity for lengthy tease sessions. The Dom has mastered the line between edging and ruined orgasms so precisely that the sub often can't tell which occurred. Blindfolded and restrained, the sub must guess whether they were edged or ruined after each session. Edge guess correct: game continues.  Edge guess incorrect: punishment involves a full orgasm directly into their mouth, then back to the cage. Ruin guess correct: reward of a full orgasm in their preferred method. Ruin guess incorrect: must consume the ruined orgasm, game over, back to chastity.  To run or not to ruin an orgasm?  There's no universal playbook for chastity dynamics, and frankly, that's the point! What drives one person crazy might bore the next person to tears. The real pleasure often comes from surrendering that control, whether you've locked yourself up or handed the keys to someone else who gets to decide your fate. Happy National Orgasm Day to the CB-X chastity community. May the (sweet, sweet) misery be with you.

In this installment of the CB-X chastity blog, we are sharing ten ways to cum harder, if and when you are allowed to orgasm. (Consider this the hot older sister to our blog Ten Ways to Cum in Chastity.) For some, wearing a chastity device is not all about the permanent denial of sexual pleasure, masturbation, or partner penetration. Chastity serves many different purposes, including self-mastery, self-control, and strategically delaying pleasure and orgasmic release. Part of the appeal is about being continuously turned on, and not being able to get off.  Chastity wearers know that when the cage comes off, you’re loaded and ready to shoot. Unlocked orgasms are usually extremely intense, both psychologically and physically. You can achieve an intense orgasm without even trying that hard.  The Science of Anticipation Immediate gratification is like a candy bar. Denial is like an expensive dinner – you savor every bite and think about it for days. For penis owners, this is where controlled denial enters the picture. Sustaining arousal without immediate release leads to the following biological responses: Heightened physical sensitivity and orgasmic potential Higher testosterone and hormone levels Increased ejaculatory volume More powerful muscular contractions during climax These responses combine to create longer, and significantly more intense orgasms when release finally occurs. Bust Through A Boring Masturbation Routine At one point or another, some might say that they have experienced the underwhelming nature of masturbation. There is nothing wrong with routine; it works functionally, but oftentimes lacks creativity or intensity. For most, the standard approach to masturbation often follows the same, predictable pattern: arousal, stimulation, climax, reset. (Watching porn on your phone or laptop while masturbating can get boring – especially when it takes longer to find the scene that gets you off than it takes to actually orgasm.) Having a familiar routine can lead to diminishing returns, where solo sessions become more mechanical than mind-blowing. By weaving creativity together with the natural anticipation that chastity provides, you can transform predictable pleasure into something remarkably intense and deeply satisfying. Masturbation Hacks for Next-Level Orgasms Don’t touch your penis for 10 days. Unlock. Before you start masturbating, sit on something solid and put a water bottle underneath your butt to put pressure on your prostate). When you’re about to cum, take a deep breath and relax. See you in heaven! Sit on your hands until they go completely numb before you start stroking. (Otherwise known as The Stranger.)  Put on headphones and try SSEM (Sexual Stimulation Erotic Meditation). Click here to listen to an SSEM audio recording that features “intense binaural tones for orgasm enhancement! Intensify your climaxes and break free from sexual blockades with deep hypnotic binaural beats in the delta and alpha range.”  Set a timer for 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or any timeframe that feels like a challenge. Then, sync your strokes with the sound of a metronome. If you are playing with a partner, allow them to control the metronome's speed. You’re allowed to get off when the timer goes off.  Lube is a quick & easy way to enhance pleasure -- just a couple of drops can transform every stroke.. Looking for a long-lasting, thick formula that pairs perfectly with edging? Try a silicone formula like JO Premium Silicone Lubricant. (Note - silicone lube shouldn’t be used with silicone sex toys.) If you want your lube to mimic the feel of natural lubrication, we recommend a body-safe, water-based sex lubricant like Pjur Aqua Body Glide.   No lube nearby? Rub your shaft with your thumb in small circular motions and use your pre-cum as lube. A little wetness helps your hand slide over your head more easily.  Use a male masturbation stroker on your unlocked cock, but wear a hollow harness or a cock sheath over to diminish sensations. For more ideas, explore the best sex toys for chastity here. Learn where your frenulum is and give it extra special attention. (On the underside of the head of the penis). This pleasure point is just as sensitive as the clitoris on a vulva. Tie your hands behind your back, unlock your cage, and make yourself cum without using your hands. Some creative ways for hands-free penis orgasms include dry-humping a pillow, or using a wall-mounted suction cup dildo for simultaneous prostate stimulation. We all know how to crank one out manually, but a hands-free orgasm is an amazing experience during solo play! If you're alone and are in the right place to get loud, get loud. Moan. Grunt. Be super verbal. Go primal. This is good practice if your partner likes it when you’re loud.  If you find yourself reading this blog and you’ve never worn a chastity cage, one way to send your orgasm through the roof when you masturbate is to lock your cock for a day. Try it, and you might come to learn that chastity play can be less about pain and more about pleasure. Wiggle your toes while you climax. The orgasm sensation will travel down your legs.  Note: If you try any of these tips, beware that the next time you urinate, it will likely spray at a minimum of seven different directions. Do with this information what you will.  3 Chastity and Masturbation FAQs "If I masturbate, am I breaking the rules?" Who holds your chastity keys? What agreements do you have in place – with your Keyholder, or yourself? Masturbating doesn’t necessarily defy “the rules” of chastity play. Everyone’s rules are different, depending on what is acceptable for their lifestyle, relationship or D/s dynamic.  "Can I still get an erection in a chastity cage?" Yes. One purpose of wearing a chastity cage is to not get an erection. However, many chastity cages still allow room for erections (unless you’re wearing a micro cock cage). A chastity cage isn’t a barricade to masturbation – it’s just a speed bump.  "Does wearing a chastity cage mean I have to stop masturbating?" Again, who holds your chastity keys? You don’t have to stop - but look at it this way: chastity cages can encourage the wearer to discover creative alternatives to masturbation.

Summer travel season is here, and if you've never gone to the airport while being locked in a chastity device, you've probably wondered about airport security procedures. This topic generates some debate in the chastity community, with varying experiences and occasional conflicting advice from airline travelers.  For this deep dive, we've put together a comprehensive study based on real, unfiltered feedback directly from TSA agents and airport security personnel, combined with real-life travel experiences from chastity device wearers.  This guide on how to travel with a chastity cage presents the complete picture from both sides of the security checkpoint. We present these research findings without judgment, bias, or shame. Just real opinions, lived experiences, and commonly asked questions to help chastity wearers make confident, informed decisions.  For supplemental reading, we suggest cross-referencing with TSA Security Screening Guidelines while reading this blog, which explains everything you need to know about how to travel while wearing a chastity device.  Don't be nervous. A smooth flight is in your future.  Question: “What's the difference between TSA screening methods?” According to TSA’s Official Guidelines, metal detectors only detect metal objects. Body scanners (Advanced Imaging Technology) can detect non-metallic items that differ from natural body contours. TSA PreCheck lanes typically use metal detectors. Standard airport security lanes may use either metal detectors or body scanners depending on airport configuration and passenger flow. Airport security operates on a tiered system that many travelers don't fully understand, creating false expectations about consistency. PreCheck lanes weren't designed with privacy in mind. They often use older technology, making them inadvertently more compatible with certain devices. However, security protocols change based on threat levels, staffing, and equipment maintenance, so today's successful chastity cage TSA experiences don’t always guarantee tomorrow's outcome. The ‘wild card’ element of randomized security screening creates uncertainty for travelers with special considerations like chastity cages.  All airports operate as individual security ecosystems with different equipment, policies, and interpretation of federal guidelines. This helps explain why experiences can vary between airport locations. The human factor also influences outcomes, as some TSA agents strictly follow protocols while others exercise discretion based on experience and training variations across different TSA regions. Question: “Is my chastity cage safe for TSA?” There can be a lot of confusion surrounding chastity device detection and the TSA security process. This confusion often stems from inconsistent information, and varying airport configurations. What many travelers who wear a chastity cage might not know is that TSA screening technology is constantly evolving, with newer millimeter wave scanners designed to detect anomalies in body contours versus just metallic objects. This technological shift explains why some user experiences about "plastic cages are safe" doesn't always universally apply. Airport-specific factors play a role because smaller regional airports may still rely heavily on metal detectors, while major hubs use advanced imaging technology as their primary screening method. The material science behind cock cage detection involves electromagnetic signatures and density variations that create inconsistent results even within the same device category, making blanket statements about "safe" materials unreliable. Traveler Experiences: “I've worn a plastic cage through TSA PreCheck without issue. I knew the scanner would be a metal detector, and that the little padlock wouldn't trip the alarm. The device I wore was the CB-6000 and it's commonly available. I wouldn't want to try wearing it through the wave scanner thing because I imagine it could be detected there.” “I have heard several people say that metal detectors will always find metal. That is NOT true. In fact, my jewelry is never detected and I have 8 ounces of large gauge stainless steel. The millimeter wave scanners will see just about any foreign object - that is where a cage would be difficult to conceal. Get Global Entry or PreCheck to reduce one's chances of tripping a detector. Yet that is not a guarantee to avoid discovery.”  “To my knowledge, wearing a chastity device breaks no rules or laws. In my personal experience, a plastic or resin cage with either a barrel lock or hasp padlock doesn’t set off metal detectors. That said, I’ve seen different airports with different sensitivity settings.  I have PreCheck, I don’t go through the body scanners. (Little known fact, you can request to not be body scanned. They do manual patdown and use the wand.) But always plan extra time (30-60 minutes) if you wear your cage through TSA, in case they ask you into a room to show what you’re wearing.”  “The metal detector was fine. I ended up using the brass lock instead of the plastic one on my trip back."  TSA Agent Perspectives:  "Even if the penis chastity device is plastic, it will still alarm. Our machines aren't looking for only metal. They are looking for any alternative material."  “A plastic chastity device by itself would not trigger an alarm. Get a cage that is metal-free and sign up for TSA PreCheck. The cage won't set off the metal detector and you will very rarely get randomly selected for the body scanner.” Considerations:  Use a plastic or silicone cock cage if you plan to wear it through airport security. Be sure to use CB-X individually-numbered plastic chastity locks, available in a 10-Pack and a 30-Pack (for the world traveler!) Research your departure airport's typical screening methods. CB-X Guarded Galaxy Glitter Chastity Cages are perfect for vacation! However, even though they are made from plastic, the glitter particles might trigger metal detectors. Bonus Testimonies from Airline Personnel:  “I am a pilot. My barrel lock has never set off a metal detector. That being said, traveling without a key or a way out isn’t a good idea in case of an emergency. I use an airlock and a tag. Not once has it been an issue.” “From a sissy flight attendant always in chastity, my plastic cage with plastic locks always goes undetected for me 😜. Zip locks that are numbered on the road from the Mrs. and then a switch to metal lock when home.” Click here to browse Chastity Cages, Locks & Spare Parts for Airline Travel Question: “Should I remove my chastity cage before going through airport security?” The removal debate reflects deeper questions about risk tolerance, relationship dynamics, and lifestyle priorities that extend beyond airport convenience. What makes this decision particularly complex is the intersection of personal autonomy, security compliance, and practical logistics in an environment designed for standardization rather than individual accommodation.  The psychological aspect of temporary chastity cage removal varies significantly among wearers. For some, it can be a minor inconvenience. For others, it can fundamentally disrupt the intended chastity experience. Keyholders may be faced with balancing security practicality with lifestyle goals, which often require negotiations about emergency protocols and temporary modifications.  Traveler Experiences: “A TSA agent’s desire not to see people express themselves is not greater than a person's right to do so.” “Between the flight being a work-booked trip, having several other people with me the whole time, and my cage being metal, I took precautions and did not wear it through TSA. I removed the base ring from its place in my laptop bag. The cage itself I pulled from the inner lining of my suitcase, which made the trip as a checked bag. A brass lock was in my toiletry bag in the suitcase. Lastly, the key was on my key ring with my car and house keys. With all four pieces removed, I started up the water. With hot water running, I cleaned off, before using body wash as a lubricant to slide the ring and cock cage on.” “TSA agents are paid to search you top to bottom to ensure you aren't carrying anything illegal. We have the right to express ourselves even while traveling through TSA as long as it’s not illegal.” “Would you rather speed through security, than have to deal with extra scrutiny?”  TSA Agent Perspectives: “If you wear a male chastity cage and the alarm goes off, it will slow down the process for everyone else. How would you feel if someone in front of you made you wait in line longer? Just from a polite point of view, it makes sense to just put it on after you go through security.” “There is a difference between TSA seeing it in a checked bag, and having to physically see you wearing it. In the bag, the item is not attached to the penis. Even if they have to search your bag, they won’t need to see you wearing it so the exposure to your kink on an unwilling participant is minimal and no worse than having to check a vibrator.” “Do not wear your chastity cage through security. It will set off the metal detectors or the body scanner, and it will be one of the rare circumstances where the passenger wearing the device will be taken to private screening so the officers can make sure it is not a weapon. TSA does not do any pat downs under clothes or regularly ask people to remove clothing, except for situations like this when we need to clear a certain area. It wastes your time and ours, and it also exposes us to your kinks. That is a whole other discussion about the morality and decency of forcing [chastity] onto strangers non-consensually. For our purposes, please leave it in your bag.” Considerations: Coordinate with your Keyholder if necessary about temporary removal protocols. Pack your male chastity device components in separate areas of your luggage for security. Use CB-X brass locks with brass keys if you choose the packing route, or use our individually-numbered plastic locks if you prefer to wear your cage through security. Plan reassembly logistics at your destination (private bathroom, hotel room). Pack a travel-friendly sized lubricant in your carry-on bag for comfortable reinstallation after security.  Question: “What happens If I wear my cock cage through airport security and get selected for additional screening?” The additional screening process reveals the complexity of balancing security, privacy, and dignity within federal guidelines that weren't written with chastity devices in mind! What distinguishes successful encounters from problematic ones often involves understanding TSA agent psychology. TSA professionals deal with potential threats daily and approach anomalies with trained skepticism. They are also human beings who appreciate honesty and cooperation. The escalation protocols exist because TSA agents have limited authority, meaning they can observe and report, but they cannot make final determinations about unusual items without supervisory approval. Private screening rooms serve dual purposes: protecting passenger dignity and providing controlled environments where supervisors can make informed decisions without public scrutiny. The documentation requirements that sometimes emerge during these encounters relate to liability concerns and federal reporting standards. And, while our research does reveal some personal biases on behalf of TSA, that is not the case for every agent.  Traveler Experiences:  “I’ve been through security in steel, titanium, and plastic (all within the last 2 months). The plastic and titanium caused no issues and didn’t trigger the machine. The steel 100% will. The airports I went through were easy and professional for the patdown, but that will vary based on the agent. On top of that, the pat down adds an extra 20-30 minutes to your security time. So if you’re transferring between flights, it could cause you to miss a connection. I recommend plastic if you 1000% can’t be delayed.” "I mentioned 'I have metal I can't remove…’. They were confused by this but took me to a private room."  "They called for a supervisor, I showed it to him too, explained again, and he let me go on my way." TSA Agent Perspectives:  "You will receive a pat down. The officer will feel that, and even if you tell them it's a chastity cage, we aren't paid to take you at your word."  “If you come through the scanner and it alarms on your groin, just tell the officer "I've got a chastity cage on, so we are going to need to go to private screening" or something like that. Don't just stand there getting patted down and be like "nope, nothing there" when what we are feeling is very obviously not the normal equipment.” “Officers get no enjoyment from patting people down (except for the few officers that have power trips, and I can't do anything about them sadly). Personally, I do not view someone with a chastity cage or other device that locks as forcing their "kink" on me. I view that as just who that person is.” Considerations:  Arrive at the airport early, and add 30-45 minutes to your normal timeline. Before going through the body scanner, alert an agent: "I'm wearing a personal device that cannot be removed" if questioned. Request a private screening if you prefer discretion. Ask for a supervisor if you feel uncomfortable with the interaction. (De)parting Thoughts From a broader perspective, the “chastity and TSA” conversation is one example of how the kink community navigates mainstream institutions and public systems that operate on standardized assumptions about human behavior. Still debating whether to do it or not? Here are a few closing words from the chastity community: “If the government (TSA is the part of the government) is forcing my body to be inspected, I don’t think the government should have the right to tell anyone not to wear a cage.” “It's nothing they haven't seen before.” “TSA consented when they took the job of seeing things.” Just like wearing a chastity device in your day-to-day life, wearing it for airline travel is a personal choice. What we do know, thanks to consistent, honest user feedback, is that CB-X chastity cages and parts are the next best thing to naked.  Is your chastity TSA travel routine on lock?
