Chastity Lifestyle Blog

Choosing the best chastity cage for beginners can feel overwhelming, especially with countless imitations flooding the market.  Here's what separates CB-X from the rest: every authentic CB-X kit is completely modular, meaning once you own the foundational components, you can interchange any size & style of CB-X chastity cage that suits your evolving lifestyle. This flexibility is exactly why downsizing to a small cock cage becomes an inevitable choice among our long-term wearers. You're not starting from scratch each time you want to explore new levels of restriction and personal challenge. If you want to skip ahead, you can easily shop all CB-X individual cock cage kit parts to discover a multitude of mix-and-match possibilities. The Problem with Playing Roulette  We see it all the time: chastity newcomers decide to opt for cheaper, inauthentic men’s chastity cages that promise the CB-X experience without the quality. The result? Ill-fitted devices that eventually break, cause injury, or leave you questioning whether chastity is even for you. *Gasp!* One CB-X customer told us that they learned this lesson the hard way.  I started with the regular sized cage and have downsized twice. My goal is to get it all dialed in and then use the measurements to invest in some metal cages. Sort of an expensive way to do it but then again so is buying several cages that do not fit. I will say that now that I have the CBX dialed in a bit, it’s actually pretty comfy. The number one reason people invest in our complete kits? Customization straight out of the box. A different customer shared: The CB system is nice because of how customizable it is out of the box (different rings and spacers to hone in on ring size and ball gap, the 2 most important and difficult to measure numbers). Why We Haven't Reinvented the Wheel Since 1998, we've stuck to our proven male chastity device kit system because it works. We're not reinventing our tried-and-true, patented chastity designs for novelty’s sake. (Well, aside from introducing new colorways like Glow-in-the-Dark and glitter chastity cages.) We're perfecting what already delivers results. Take it straight from another awesome CB-X wearer. We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.  The reason they haven't changed is because the design is solid. There's a reason it's the most copied design on the planet. I wear a CB-X Mini Me round the clock (as do many I know) and it is the most comfortable cage I own. When your most notable design elements become the most replicated in the world, you know you're doing something right. 😉 Pictured: Mr. Stubb Micro Cock Cage Ki in Pink Twinkle Glitter Anatomy of a CB-X Cock Cage Kit All CB-X chastity cage kits include: One durable, comfortable CB-X chastity cage designed for extended wear. Five Sizes of U-Rings: Sizes ranging from 1½" to 2" ensure the perfect foundation fit.

Complete Base System: Base parts 1 + 2 with guide pins create your complete ring structure, designed to snap together seamlessly for foolproof installation. Locking Options: Multiple locking pins & spacers One brass Master padlock with two keys Five numbered TSA-friendly, one-time-use plastic chastity locks for travel convenience and short-term chastity wear. The Extras: One discreet, black drawstring storage bag, one sample of premium System Jo lubricant for easy installation, and one detailed CB-X user manual to guide your journey. As one satisfied customer puts it: "I bought a CB-6000, and am still experimenting with it. It comes with various rings and spacers so you can experiment and figure out what works, and you can buy additional sizes if you need." CB-X Holds the Keys to Success CB-X modular cock cage kits deliver the customization, comfort, and reliability that cheap alternatives simply can't match.  Spending money on multiple ill-fitting devices can make or break your chastity experience.

Let’s talk about oral sex, baby! Some penis owners choose chastity because they know one truth: their partner’s pleasure matters. A chastity cage can be a tool to shift focus away from chasing your own orgasm, and towards becoming the kind of lover who leaves their partner soaked and satisfied. If you’re locked, your tongue and lips might just be your biggest assets.  Here are five tips for going down on a vulva that might just earn you some extra teasing… or maybe even the key to your cock cage.  1. Being Present > Goal Oriented Oral sex isn’t a race to an orgasm. It’s about the journey, the slow build, and the signals a vulva owner sends back. Don’t zero in on the clit like it’s the only destination worth visiting. Trace the entire landscape like the inner thighs, labia, and lower belly. Notice how your partner’s breath changes, how hips shift, or how moans deepen. The beauty of it: chastity can sharpen this attentiveness, because you’re less distracted by your own need to finish fast. 2. Work with Rhythm and Pressure The clitoris is sensitive territory. Too rough, too soon, and you’ll end up causing discomfort instead of bliss. Start light and build gradually. Find a rhythm that syncs with your partner’s reactions. Consistency can be more effective than wild improvisation. If you find something that’s working, keep doing it! Don’t switch it up when their body language and vocals kick into overdrive. That’s one way to earn a frustrated push away instead of a toe-curling climax! 3. Get Comfortable With Wetness Spit is your friend. So is natural lubrication. If you’re locked and devoted to serving your partner, embracing wetness is a non-negotiable. Keep your lips, tongue, and fingers slick so everything glides instead of drags. A dry tongue on a clit? That’s a one-way ticket to “Please stop.” 4. Hands + Mouth…Not Just Mouth Oral doesn’t mean you can’t use your hands. In fact, your fingers might be the backup singers that push the whole performance into chart-topping territory. Gently explore the entrance of the vagina or stroking the inner labia. For those who enjoy penetration, the “come-hither” motion with two fingers on the G-spot paired with clit stimulation can be mind-blowing. Reminder to check in about what feels good. 5. Let Her Lead the Way Some vulva owners want to guide the pace, the pressure, or even the angle of your tongue. Let them! Chastity play is rooted in surrender and giving up control, and that energy transfer can create electric oral sex sessions. Let your partner ride your face if that’s what they want. Let them tell you to go slower, faster, softer, or harder. Nothing signals devotion like following instructions and craving to please.  Oral sex is a playground for a locked penis owner. When your own release is off-limits, you’re free to tune in fully to your partner’s body and responses. Take pride in making her orgasm the highlight of the night (or the day), and you might just find that your chastity cage feels less like a prison and more like a crown. Now go forth. Tongue first.

We've got a lot to share on this subject, so buckle up! If you're looking for a day-to-day game plan for daily accountability, be sure to check out our comprehensive male chastity journal, The Self-Discipline Blueprint.  We suspect that there are two primary reasons that you, dear reader, might be reading this blog at this moment in time.  1: You are about to lock your cock for the first time, and you’re anticipating an unimaginable struggle, or 2: You’ve found yourself riding the Massive Wave of Horniness – a special kind of hell that brings frustration to new chastity wearers generally between days two and five of locked life. 🔐 If you're distracted from the things you’re supposed to be focusing on, that is normal. Most people get slammed by the Massive Wave of Horniness between days two and five. If you find yourself incredibly distracted now, or you anticipate incredible distraction when you lock for the first time, you should mellow out soon. Having a deadline or work to focus on sucks, but you’re in luck.  No matter how frustrated you might be, we want to reassure you: Yes, you will learn how to stop feeling horny in chastity and effective strategies to implement to help achieve mind over matter. Like the ones coming in hot, below. 🤓 Chastity is a mind game. And when you approach chastity as a game, you might realize that obeying your own rules is just a matter of coming up with new ways to trick yourself into doing what you set out to do.  Self-Locked Chastity Tips Tip #1: Keep a chastity journal. Document your goals, challenges, and areas of improvement for the days ahead. For those who need stringent self-discipline, staying accountable every day (with an AM & PM check-in) can really keep you on track. Plus, it can feel extremely rewarding to look back on your progress.  Tip #2: Make yourself cum. Yeah, we said it. Make yourself cum while in chastity. Just get it out of your system. Set a goal to give yourself the most intense locked orgasms that you can imagine...for a limited time. As in, between days one and five only, while riding the Massive Wave of Horniness that we mentioned earlier. Go ahead and stimulate your nipples. Put something (safe) in your butt. Touch the tip of your dick through the pee hole of your vented cock cage. Soon enough, the excitement will fade (it will), and you’ll be left locked up.  Tip #3: Use a habit tracker app.  A habit tracker app provides consistent accountability and visual progress monitoring, helping you stay committed to your chastity goals through daily check-ins and streak visualization. The discrete tracking and data insights help you identify patterns, overcome challenging periods, and maintain long-term dedication to your personal discipline journey. Tip #4: Lock up your sex toys.  All of them. Because if you’re set on orgasming, locking away anything and everything that can make you orgasm is necessary. We recommend a small or large lockable storage container with ventilation. Tip #5: Size down.  More restrictive cages generally mean fewer orgasmic releases. Despite added pressure from a smaller chastity cage, your body won’t react like it’s getting pleasure the same way it does in roomier men's chastity cages.  Tip #6: The Ol’ Mailbox Trick Get a PO mailbox in a different town/city/zip code. Some users recommend up to four hours away from where you live. Mail your chastity key/s to the PO Box.  When you're handling the key, always have an envelope addressed. If and when you get the urge to break your rules, it's easy to stick your key in the envelope and drop it in any USPS mailbox OR leave it in your outgoing mail. The keys will be stored securely, but it will take a drive to get them.  Mailbox Trick Bonus Tip: Follow the Five Second Rule The Five Second Rule is an effective way to keep yourself in line. Originally coined by Mel Robbins, the 5 Second Rule is praised by many as a “life-changing hack” to break bad habits. In the context of chastity, it might just be self-mastery magic.  How it works: The moment you get the urge to unlock or touch your cock, start the five-second countdown. You have five seconds to grab the envelope and seal up the key. Make sure to follow through and leave it in your outgoing mail for USPS. Tip #7: Create a list of meaningful activities that you will actually do. Find ways to distract yourself by making a list of positive activities that will help redirect your sexual energy. Find *literally* anything else to do with your hands, even if it’s drawing stick figures on a piece of paper. This can be a fertile opportunity for some real personal growth, too. Focusing on more intentional or mindful tasks can help improve your day-to-day life, too. Some examples:  Short-Term Activities Organize your phone or computer storage. Delete all of those old photos and screenshots that you’ll never need again.  Get grounded. Go for a walk.  Wash, fold, or put away the laundry. Cleaning clutter in your space can work wonders on your mental health! Write an actual letter to a friend (Yes, the kind of letter that requires stamps. This is how to maximize mileage with the Mailbox Trick. Research “Tantra and chastity” online. Learn about ethical conduct and discipline as essential components.  Ongoing Activities Create a stretching or yoga playlist on YouTube and complete a video when you feel triggered or tempted. Explore free classes on Udemy and learn a new skill.  Generate some cash! Create an eBay or Poshmark seller account and start selling stuff you don’t use anymore. Create a 7-day meal plan & grocery store list. Implement it. Explore themes like “meal plan for heart health” or “meal plan for gut health." Join a free online community like FetLife or r/ChastityTraining and search “self-discipline” for supportive folks.  Find a consenting accountability partner, and stay in touch weekly. Those online communities are great places to start.  Tip #9: Reprogram your brain. NBD. There are only so many tasks that you can work into one day. It's the slow time between distractions that is the most challenging. This is when mindset matters the most. Adopt a mindset that you’re just not into orgasms. (Easier said than done.) We’d love to get into Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) for chastity, but we’re chastity experts, not psychologists! ....Or ARE we??? 😮🤔 Anyways. Recommended research: Neuro-linguistic Programming Techniques you can use every day.  Ways to Hide Your Chastity Key The idea is to build minor (or serious) physical barriers so that you can’t unlock on a whim.  Using a string inside a straw, suspend the key/s from the top of a cup so they're directly in the middle. Fill the cup with water and freeze it solid. (Takes a little longer for the blow dryer to melt through the center this way, as opposed to freezing it in an ice cube mold.) Leave it outside overnight Bury the key somewhere in your backyard. Don’t mark the location.  Use a timed lockbox.  Throw it behind a heavy piece of furniture  Kayak to a nearby island and leave it in a secret spot for the weekend. (True story.) For safety reasons we must remind you to keep an emergency key handy, like at work or in your car. Reminders for the Road We’ll say it a million times: no two chastity journeys are the same. Borrowing tips from others can be helpful, but if they aren’t working for you, you’ll know. Just keep tweaking until you find the perfect fit that flows best with your lifestyle.   What you feel today won’t necessarily feel the same tomorrow, the day after that, or next week. Refer back to Tip #1. Track your progress. You might not think this can be possible now, but denial can ultimately feel more pleasurable than any orgasm. Mental Mastery No matter who holds your key, chastity mastery is all about self-control. You could own countless devices or hide your keys in a hundred different places, but all of that is meaningless without your full commitment and determination. Real User Perspective “In my opinion, there is no point in making the key hard to find because it's all a matter of willpower, if you can't resist and keep unlocking, throwing the key away won't prevent you from popping one ball out of the ring and escaping out of the cage, unless you're wearing a PA piercing, but even then, bolt cutters can still be used. So really, it's a matter of willpower, nobody can force you to be caged, even with a partner, you stay caged because you want to, that's the truth.” If you’ve been locked -- by yourself or otherwise -- was that real user perspective way harsh, or too true? Please leave your thoughts, tips, and tricks for other users below. Curious minds want to know your success stories.

If chastity devices are new to you, the concept of comfortable confinement might seem contradictory, especially when it comes to sleeping while locked in a chastity cage. For those who may be wondering if it's possible to sleep comfortably in a chastity cage, you aren't alone! This is one of the most frequently asked questions that we receive. Here’s the first thing you might not know about chastity cage comfort and sleeping:  A properly fitted chastity device should never cause persistent pain or discomfort, especially during sleep. If you're experiencing significant discomfort at night, it's likely a sizing issue rather than something you need to "get used to."  The truth is, responsible chastity device manufacturers prioritize safety and comfort, allowing you to focus on the psychological aspects rather than battling physical problems. Whether you and/or your partner prefer short sessions, extended lockdowns, or decide that locking your thing in a thing isn’t your thing, all are valid. Your chastity experience doesn't need to match someone else's timeline or experience level. The only “right” approach is the one that works for you, your goals, your body, your lifestyle, and your relationship.  In this blog, we break down everything you need to know about sleeping comfortably in a cock cage, peppered with real user experiences for good measure.  For supplemental reading, we suggest opening a separate browser window and referencing our Chastity Size Guide for proper cock cage measuring tips you don’t want to skip. Should I Try Sleeping in Chastity?  What is your “why”? Before attempting to sleep in a chastity cage for the first time, consider your current situation, and determine your primary reason for wearing a cock cage, alone or with a partner. Some questions to consider:  Are you doing it just for the fun of it? Is chastity something you see as part of everyday life?  Are you doing it for better sex?  Do you prefer day play only?  Are you cool with a little bit of suffering?  Once you determine your primary reasons or ultimate purpose for chastity, discuss your boundaries and the potential benefits of sleeping in chastity.  This brings us to... Why Do People Like to Sleep in a Chastity Cage? There is no universal rule that requires anyone to sleep in a chastity cage. However, many lifestyle chastity enthusiasts enjoy a spectrum of benefits to staying locked in a chastity cage overnight. Here are ten reasons why some folks like to sleep in their chastity device. Sleeping overnight in a chastity cage is less effort for the Keyholder who has to lock & unlock your cage all day.  Mild discomfort while sleeping demonstrates devotion, commitment, and/or fidelity to a spouse or KH. Elevates the psychological aspect of chastity and submission by reminding you that your cock isn’t your own.  The continuity of long-term lockdown establishes control for the KH, can help create confidence, and will give them the warm & fuzzies that come from seeing you give yourself in this way.  Self-locked chastity wearers might enjoy the wrapping/squeezing sensation that happens during the day, and when they're sleeping. Sleeping with a cock cage feels more like an extension of the wearer’s body versus an accessory.  Non-negotiable training tool for the transition from occasionally locked for several hours at a time, to long-term or permanent chastity.  The pleasure of waking up with morning wood straining against your cock cage.  The anticipation of waking up and wondering if you’re going to receive a reward. The ache of nocturnal erections serves as a reminder of an erotic agreement with your Keyholder, spouse, Master or Mistress.  Sleeping in Chastity: Safety Tips Watch for circulation issues like discoloration or severe discomfort. When in doubt, unlock right away. Your safety and well-being is always the priority.  Make sure to keep your cage clean to eliminate any lingering bacteria.  What’s not normal: cuts, abrasions, bleeding, swelling, or discoloration. If you experience any of these side effects, remove the cage immediately and take proper steps to heal your skin before reinstalling your chastity device.  Find a cage that you can sleep in, rather than assume the uncomfortable cage is fine and you need to adjust to it. Unless pain is part of your kink! User Feedback: Personal Preference "I believe that our bodies go through nocturnal erections for a reason, and I don’t want to impede penis health as my wife very much wants her toy strong and able to please her whenever she wants. We’re not into the whole “no more pussy for you” approach. But some are, and to each their own. Tailor your experience to your own needs.” Sleeping in Chastity: Common Issues Common Issue #1: The cage feels way too tight during sleep. “Something isn’t right.” Solution: Before sleeping in a cage for the first time (and we cannot overstate this), triple-check to ensure that your cage size is correct.  Common Issue #2: You experience pinching or abrasions to the skin after accidentally falling asleep in your cage, or attempting to wear it overnight.  Solution: Size up! For example, for those wearing our best-selling CB-6000S chastity device, consider sizing up to the CB-6000. Fun fact: the “S” in CB-6000S stands for “shorter”! Or, if you're wearing our extra extra small Mini-Me micro cock cage, consider sizing up to Mr. Stubb. If you already have the CB-X base ring setup, you can easily swap a new cage without having to start from scratch again. All of our male cock cages are also available for purchase in a cage-only design so you can mix and match to your cock's content! Common Issue #3: You wake up with a painful erection. Solution: Go pee if you need to, roll over on your back, side, or stomach, or try removing sheets and blankets to eliminate extra physical contact.  Common Issue #4: You experience some regret after purchasing a cheap, low-quality chastity cage. Hindsight is 20/20.... Many people choose to purchase a cheap knockoff chastity cage online as a test run before investing in a premium cock cage like a CB male chastity device. This *will* come back to bite (pinch) you on the ass (penis).  We see this scenario alllll the time:  First, the buyer chooses to purchase a cheap replica chastity device from an online retailer that doesn’t specialize in BDSM or chastity (for example, a website that rhymes with Callywahwah). Next, they found that the chastity cage from said website felt too rigid, sharp, and/or painful. Then, the wearer determines that wearing a chastity cage was way too uncomfortable, and they abandon the chastity journey before it starts because of a bad experience -- OR -- the wearer finds CB-X online, researches our materials, quality guarantee, and chats with our customer service team for tips. Ultimately, the buyer decides to purchase a customizable CB-X chastity kit to avoid the issue from happening again. Takeaway: 9 times out of 10, purchasing an inexpensive knockoff–and having a subpar experience–will bring you back to CB-X. At that point, you’ve wasted money and time, and sacrificed comfort and safety. Don’t take the risk.  Solution: Take the leap and prioritize quality when you invest in a chastity cage, because quality means comfort. (As “comfortable” as comfortable can be in a cock cage.) Common Issue #5: You wake up throbbing & feeling unreasonably horny. Solution: Consider wearing a comfortable prostate stimulator overnight. It can help manage those intense nocturnal urges that might otherwise interrupt your rest. Common Issue #6: You wake up in the middle of the night with a potential burning sensation, and feel like the scrotal skin has been stretched to its limit.  Solution: Apply a light layer of long-lasting lube to the u-ring and inside of the cage to help eliminate chafing and ensure comfortable movement during extended wear. We recommend Gun Oil Silicone Lubricant.  User Feedback: Size Matters “You likely won’t know your ring size perfectly until you try a couple of different ring sizes. Get a chastity kit that gives you several ring sizes. The ball gap makes a difference, but knowing roughly your base ring size is a great start.” Bonus Tips: How to Stay Comfortable in a Male Chastity Device Overnight If possible, keep your chastity cage keys handy in case of an emergency.  Avoid drinking liquids for 1-2 hours before bed. Make sure to urinate before getting in bed.  Mist the cock with a fast-acting, topical penis desensitizer that contains lidocaine or benzocaine to help suppress sensations.  Sleep on your back. Alternatively, if you wake up with a nocturnal erection, try rolling over and sleeping on your side.  Sleep in clothing or under warm blankets. Warmth naturally helps the testicles hang looser and lower, resulting in more comfortable positioning. Alternatively, sleeping naked can reduce contact with sheets and eliminate the risk of getting tangled in blankets or having the cage create pressure against the base ring. Know that if you partake in any edging or sexual activity before bed, you’re definitely gonna wake up with an aching bulge at least once in the middle of the night.  User Feedback: U-Ring or Cock Ring? “If the base ring is just a little bit too small, it works like a cock ring. This leads to a vicious circle of getting aroused where my blood flow is restricted by the base ring. It happens more at night than during the day.” Why Choose A CB-X Chastity Device Finding the right chastity cage size for you isn't a one-size-fits-all process. To save you time and hassle, five different u-ring sizes come with every CB-X Chastity Cage Kit, so that you can experiment risk-free. Not sure about permanent chastity? We get it! That’s why we also include a set of plastic disposable locks in addition to a brass Master padlock with keys. All individual Chastity Cage Parts are also sold separately in case you need a specific replacement in the future.  User Feedback: CB-X Love “When I first started over a decade ago, I wore a CB-6000S for over a year 24/7, except for deep cleaning, beyond daily showering and soaking. I recommend the CB-6000S as a good starter cage! You will learn about ring sizes, lubes, and what makes a cage comfortable. CB-X helped my Keyholder/wife and I safely & comfortably learn about the chastity lifestyle, and that we wanted more!” Reminders for the Road Yes, you will get used to sleeping in your chastity cage if it fits correctly. Expect at least 1-2 weeks to acclimate. For some people, it can take years to achieve full comfort during sleep. No, sleeping in a cock cage isn’t supposed to feel pleasant 100% of the time. Yes, a nocturnal erection in a cock cage will likely feel less pleasant compared to an arousal-driven erection. Yes, it is normal to experience occasional pinching or slight discomfort while sleeping.  No, it shouldn’t be “difficult” to sleep in a cock cage if you’re wearing the correct size cock cage. Yes, an I'll-fitted cage can cause injury to the penis.  Yes, it is common to wake up because of a nocturnal erection. No, you shouldn’t lose significant sleep because of chastity cage discomfort. Yes, involuntary erections can be accompanied by minor pain. Your cock has a mind of its own, even when you’re not fully conscious. If this happens, use the bathroom to pee, relax, and try to fall back asleep. Yes, CB-X male chastity devices are designed to keep you comfortable day and night, whether you're hitting the gym or hitting the pillow. Read real, honest CB-X user reviews here. User Feedback: Success Story “The nighttime erections were the worst thing to get used to for me. After years, it no longer bothers me in the least. If you do not have every measurement correct, sleeping will not be comfortable. Most important: Gap ring size, ring shape, tube length (not really that important), and tube diameter. I spent months getting it right. Once it was right, it was fantastic.”  Trust your instincts, communicate openly with your partner, and remember that exploring your desires is about discovering what brings you the highest level of personal fulfillment.  Do what suits you. Nothing more, nothing less.  We want to hear your thoughts on sleeping in chastity. Do you do it? How did you get comfortable, and how do you stay comfortable?

June 9th marks National Sex Day, a celebration that began in Brazil in the 1980s and has since spread worldwide as a day to embrace intimate connection. While this holiday encourages open conversations about pleasure and sexuality, we're focusing on something a little more specific.  When it comes to couples' chastity play, there are no “rules” as to what it needs to be. As long as it’s consensual, of course. So does “sex” go in the same sentence as “chastity”? Maybe. Maybe not. The only thing that matters is if it feels fun/good/hot/thrilling/fulfilling to you. This blog shares tips from chastity couples to other couples who have moved beyond curiosity into actual practice, and the different ways they use chastity as an intimacy enhancer, catalyst for connection, or as a substitute for sex. Don’t forget to explore CB-X premium chastity kits and accessories designed for couples who are serious about power exchange! Chastity Sex Tip #1: Reframe control as a mutual benefit. "My husband found out about chastity and suggested to try it out as it might be a perfect scenario for us: I could limit sexual activity if I'm not in the mood, while for him it could still feel good because for him it's like a prolonged type of foreplay, at least if I also like the idea." Chastity Sex Tip #2: Create an orgasm economy. "Orgasm trading. For every 30 orgasms he gives you, he earns 1 ruined orgasm. For every 60 orgasms he gives you, he will get a proper one. That’s how we do it! 30:1 & 60:1." Chastity Sex Tip #3: Redefine what “sex” means to both of you.  "My spouse and I had sex in my truck last night. She sat in the passenger seat with the Magic Wand plugged into the outlet, and gave herself a big orgasm, moaning and moaning… while I was driving, with my chastity cage secure, and my pants up. My part was to reach over and support the vibe and put more pressure on her clit as she was about to lose her grip from the orgasm she was experiencing. She said that this is the best kind of sex we have now. She orgasms, and I'm only allowed to leak in my cage. I absolutely love this new dynamic." Chastity Sex Tip #4: Make daily connection non-negotiable. "Once we started playing with chastity, our sexual activities changed a lot (obviously). I can’t stress enough how important it is for us to do something sexual every day. Yes, I know this might sound like a lot of work, or counterintuitive, but it changed everything for us! Just plan a little bit of mutual sexual activity like kissing or genital massage, and you will find it becomes very easy to make the locked partner happy. And that helped us serve our chastity purpose initially, as well. Now, he gets what he gets and he has to be happy about it. Much less stress for both of us (except for the good type of sexual tension).  Chastity Sex Tip #5: Small gestures = big impact. "In my relationship, my Keyholder (wife) and I choose one simple task every day, and add an element of sex to it, without actually having sex. One example: we watch TV together every evening, and she simply leaves her hand on my cage without any movement. This is effortless, and makes both of us feel connected. Plus, these tasks can take less than two minutes some days. You can get as creative as you’d like. The rules are defined by you and only you…that’s what makes it so special.” It’s All About the Foundation! If you're not yet exploring chastity but considering it, remember that successful kink requires a solid foundation. Focus on your vanilla sex first—learning about each other's bodies, mastering hand and oral techniques, and building genuine sexual communication. Once you've elevated your baseline intimacy, you'll have the security needed to explore power exchange dynamics successfully. For those already locked up, these real-world strategies from experienced couples can help you align sexually even more deeply. The key is consistency, creativity, and remembering that the best chastity dynamics serve both partners' needs.

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?

Shop the best chastity cage cleaning products and upgrade your chastity hygiene routine today. Is Cleaning Your Chastity Cage "Cheating"? Some may wonder if taking off a chastity cage for cleaning counts as "cheating" or breaking the rules. Here's our take: As long as you aren't breaking a specific agreement in place when you temporarily remove your chastity device, you’re still honoring your chastity commitment, and that is still considered "full-time" lockup. Being locked up is fun and tormenting, but hygiene is key. 🔑 Cleaning frequency will depend on the wearer’s lifestyle, activity level, and anatomy. Some users remove their cage every other day during shower time (limiting unlocked time to just a few minutes), while others do a deep clean once weekly. Those who are uncircumcised may need to clean more frequently to prevent issues under the foreskin. You can absolutely stay both kinky AND safe—the two aren't mutually exclusive! CB-X 5-Step Chastity Cage Cleaning Guide Step 1: Lather Up Start with a thorough cleansing using antibacterial soap. When cleaning your CB-X cock cage, pay special attention to any crevices or ventilation holes, as these areas can collect moisture and residue. For a truly thorough cleaning, disassemble the cage completely to ensure you reach every surface. For an extra level of cleanliness (and peace of mind) in-between full washes, Think Clean Thoughts Anti-Bacterial Toy Cleaner works for a quick clean with just a couple of sprays–no chastity cage disassembly required.  Step 2: Trim or Shave (Optional But Recommended) While this step is optional, most experienced chastity wearers agree that keeping well-trimmed or shaved significantly improves comfort and hygiene during extended wear. Pubic hair can get caught in the mechanism, trap moisture, and make cleaning more difficult. If you prefer to shave completely, we recommend Coochy Au Natural Shave Cream to help minimize irritation. It's versatile enough for use anywhere on the body and formulated to prevent irritation and razor burn in sensitive areas. The conditioning formula leaves skin feeling soft and smooth, exactly what you want when wearing a chastity device. Step 3: Oil Up The pressure of a chastity cage and ring can sometimes exacerbate irritation and ingrown hairs, especially after shaving. Applying a light layer of a specialized ingrown hair oil serves two purposes: preventing ingrown hairs and making cage reinstallation smoother. Apply a small amount to the genital area after cleaning and before putting your cage back on. This oil is light enough not to interfere with the device's fit while providing necessary skin protection. Step 4: Hydrate  Even with regular cleaning, the ongoing contact between your skin and the chastity cage material can cause dryness, especially during winter months or in less humid climates. Applying a light layer of silicone lubricant helps maintain skin health and comfort. JO Premium Silicone Lubricant is ideal for this purpose—it's long-lasting, won't evaporate quickly, and creates a protective barrier that reduces friction and chafing. Note: If you're using a silicone-based chastity device (not CB-X), stick with a hybrid or water-based lubricant, as silicone lubricants can degrade silicone toys over time. Step 5: Device Inspection Inspect the cage and all parts for any signs of damage Check your chastity lock for smooth operation Ensure all joints and connections are secure Verify that ventilation holes are clear and unobstructed For CB-X men’s chastity cages, a soft, clean toothbrush can be used to gently scrub the hard-to-reach crevices and remove buildup in the ventilation holes. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reinstalling.  Chastity Cage Cleaning Routines for Different Wearing Schedules Occasional Chastity: If you only wear your chastity cage for play sessions or on weekends, a thorough cleaning before and after each use is sufficient. Ensure the device is completely dry before putting it away.  Semi-Regular to Permanent Chastity: Those who wear their device regularly should thoroughly clean their chastity cage at least every two days. Some find that keeping the water cool to prevent unwanted arousal works well.  Troubleshooting Chastity Hygiene Issues Persistent odor: Increase cleaning frequency and try an antibacterial soap with triclosan. Skin irritation: Check for proper sizing; a too-tight cage can cause chafing and irritation. Difficulty cleaning: Consider a cock cage design with more ventilation holes like all CB-X cock cages.  Ready to upgrade your chastity cage cleaning routine and make your cage sparkle?
