Locktober is a mere two weeks away! Are you in? This month-long October chastity challenge invites participants to remain locked for 31 consecutive days, testing commitment, building self-discipline, and exploring the mental aspects of extended chastity. During Locktober, proper preparation and realistic expectations make the difference between success and frustration.  Are you ready to get into it? Let’s go.  Tip: Pay extra attention to the nuggets o' wisdom we've noted in bold.  What is Locktober? TLDR; If we had to sum it up in one sentence, Locktober is basically a dick gym that trains your brain instead of your biceps.  In all seriousness, Locktober is an internet-born chastity challenge that emerged from kink forums around 2015. Ten years later, it' is a highly-anticipated events for chastity wearers, kinksters, and sex-positive people.  The concept is straightforward: lock up on October 1st and maintain that commitment through Halloween. Participants face a month of testing willpower, exploring denial, and discovering mental resilience through extended chastity wear. Talking to You, Locktober Newbs There is no pressure to jump into a full month-long challenge starting day one. Locktober is a great intro to extended lock time, because it can enhance confidence to explore chastity in a community-driven, supportive environment.  The beauty of Locktober lies in its flexibility. Since CB-X pioneered modern chastity devices in 1998, we've seen a slew of ways that people approach their Locktober challenges. Some follow strict denial protocols, others incorporate controlled releases or ruins, and lots of caged folks use it as an opportunity to explore creative chastity dynamics with partners or Keyholders. You’ll find various online communities that support each other through difficult moments, celebrate milestones together, and discover that mental endurance usually surpasses physical limitations. The challenge combines patience, self-control, and playful exploration in ways that make the month as rewarding as it is demanding.  To quote the late, great Charles Bukowski: “What matters most is how well you walk through the fire.”  We aren’t saying that your cock will burst into flames during Locktober. We are saying that you’ll most likely feel uncomfortable at times because you’re testing mental and physical limits. But you can handle the uncomfortable sh*t.  Say it with us.  “I can handle the uncomfortable sh*t.” Locktober FAQs  Q: Why do people participate in Locktober?  A: Locktober's extended chastity experience offers an opportunity to explore self-discipline and mental focus. Many participants find that 31 days of commitment helps them develop better awareness of their sexual patterns and impulses. Some benefits of Locktober include better concentration skills, more patience, and creating space for different aspects of intimacy, sexuality and/or day-to-day goals. 31 days allow people to move beyond initial adjustment periods and discover what sustained chastity feels like. Q: Can I do Locktober if I'm not caged 24/7?  A: Yep! Locktober welcomes participants at all experience levels, from complete beginners to long-term chastity folks. The month-long challenge is adaptable. You can modify the approach based on what works for your body, schedule, and/or relationship dynamics. The goal is finding a sustainable approach that challenges you while respecting your limits & wellbeing. What this means: you can stay locked for 24 minutes or 24 hours, as long as you're locked every day. Some wear their male chastity device only during specific times of day, others take breaks for work or sleep, and many adjust their approach as they learn what works. If you decide on 4 hours daily, stick to that schedule. If you prefer weekends only, commit to that pattern. Steer clear of comparing your Locktober goals to someone else's. We're all on a different path. Four Essential Locktober Safety Guidelines Safety is always, always, always #1 for any chastity experience. Here are a few core principles to ensure your 31-day journey stays a wee wee bit challenging and safe: 1. Before You Lock Follow consensual kink principles, establish clear boundaries with partners, and start with shorter sessions before attempting extended wear. Always keep emergency chastity keys accessible and use only body-safe materials like medical-grade polycarbonate, ABS plastic, silicone, or stainless steel. 2. Daily Maintenance Clean your cock cage, your body, and any chastity accessories thoroughly during daily showers, ensuring everything dries completely before re-locking. Apply skin protectants like Aquaphor or cornstarch to prevent chafing in high-friction areas. Are you wondering if it’s “cheating” to take off your cage in the shower? The answer is no (according to us), as long as you lock up right after your shower. Same goes for sleeping. 3. Listen to Your Body Monitor for irritation, excessive discomfort, numbness, or unusual pain. These symptoms indicate the need for immediate device removal and evaluation. Your body's signals provide the necessary feedback you need to maintain safety and long-term lockup. Listen closely.  4. Red Flags to Watch For Remove your chastity device immediately if you experience persistent pain, numbness, discoloration, cuts, swelling, or any signs of circulation problems. When in doubt, prioritize your health. A consistent, safe practice >>>>> pushing through warning signs. How to Prep for Locktober Success 1. Assess your chastity gear.  Ensure your chastity device fits correctly, because discomfort that seems minor on day one can become unbearable by day ten. Test your setup the last week of September at least, paying attention to pressure points, hygiene needs, and comfort during sleep and daily activities. 2. Search for your support system. Like, now. Identify an accountability partner, find Subreddits like r/Locktober, and/or establish a check-in routine with your partner or Keyholder. Having people who understand your journey provides motivation during the challenging stuff. Stock up on lube, a chastity cage care kit, a key lockbox, and any comfort accessories you might need throughout the month. 3. Imperfection is perfectly acceptable, so set realistic expectations.  Plan for difficult days, unexpected challenges, and moments when your willpower feels shaky. Locktober success comes from persistence, not flawless execution. (Yoda would totally agree, assuming he could figure out how to work a chastity cage with his tiny hands.) What to Expect Each Week During Locktober The first week typically brings excitement mixed with adjustment challenges. Your body and mind adapt to the new routine while novelty keeps motivation high. Sleep patterns might shift, and you'll discover which daily activities require tweaking. Week two is usually when the biggest mental hurdles arise. The novelty of Locktober wears off, and the reality of commitment sets in. This phase separates casual participants from serious challengers. Expect increased, laser-like focus on your cock; heightened awareness of arousal, and frustration. Weeks three and four deliver surprising mental clarity. Many participants report improved focus, reduced sexual distraction, and a greater sense of accomplishment. 🏆 The final 7-day stretch combines anticipation for completion with genuine appreciation for the mental strength you've developed. Locktober Self-Discipline Techniques Urge Surfing Meditation When intense urges arise, observe them as temporary waves rather than emergencies requiring action. Breathe deeply and remind yourself that all urges naturally peak and subside without intervention. This technique can take overwhelming sensations into a manageable experience. You can do this. Environmental Control Remove tempting apps from your phone, use website blockers during vulnerable times, and keep yourself busy with hands-on activities. (But hands off your penis.) Create friction (distance) between yourself & potential triggers. Keep devices in another room during high-risk times and maintain clean, organized surroundings that support your goals.  Emergency Distraction Toolkit Write a list of engaging activities before you need them. When you put your phone in another room during vulnerable moments, have immediate alternatives ready that will shift your mind & body to something stimulating & engaging (but not sexy stimulating). “What would keep me occupied on the toilet if I didn’t have my phone to look at?” is a good place to start. Give yourself plenty of options, because you’ll be working to outsmart your brain. Minute by minute. For 31 days. 😇 Keep a Locktober Chastity Journal Whether you're using the CB-X Chastity Self-Discipline Blueprint Workbook or a regular ol' notebook, racking your thoughts and challenges every day creates accountability that willpower alone can't provide. Document your daily struggles, victories, and patterns so you can identify what triggers difficult moments and celebrate the progress that might otherwise go unnoticed. Locktober Prep Starts...Now October 1st will arrive whether you're ready or not, so you might as well show up prepped instead of scrambling to figure out basic chastity hygiene on day three. If you want to know the truth, most people who attempt Locktober don't make it to Halloween. But most people also don't do the prep work, ignore the safety guidelines, and think willpower alone will carry them through 31 days. You're not most people, because you’ve made it through this entire blog. Thank you. We love you. And we aren’t worried about you one bit. The cage locks the same way for everyone. What happens in your head during those 31 days? That's up to you. But…perhaps you actually are the person who finishes projects, sticks to goals, and doesn't crumble at the first sign of discomfort.  Game time starts in two weeks. Time to surprise yourself.

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 

Our second blog installment for Anal August 2025 focuses on the best wearable anal plugs designed for extended wear during chastity play. Our in-house Certified Sex Educator intentionally selected each prostate toy on this list to achieve the trifecta of comfort, safety, and that sweet spot stimulation for a next-level chastity experience.  These plugs are expertly contoured and designed to target the prostate from inside, offering a completely different dimension of pleasure than traditional penis-focused stimulation. Why Combine Prostate Play with Chastity? The Mind-Body Connection. Adding anal play to your chastity routine opens up an entirely new physical and mental dimension unlike familiar penis pleasure. Instead of focusing on what you can't touch, anal play shifts your attention to your anal canal and prostate, creating a powerful psychological shift. Many chastity players find that wearing a butt plug while caged creates the perfect mental conditioning. Your brain becomes accustomed to seeking pleasure from your prostate instead of expecting traditional stimulation like ejaculatory orgasms. Prostate orgasms, often called "Super O's," are full-body experiences that differ completely from ejaculatory orgasms. The angled tips of quality prostate massagers allows for hands-free orgasms because they hit the P-spot precisely. Simple movements like rocking or shifting while wearing them can trigger intense prostate climax without any manual stimulation. The best part? After experiencing prostate-only orgasms while caged, you won't lose your horniness. Unlike traditional ejaculatory orgasms that result in a refractory period, prostate orgasms can maintain the sublime arousal state that makes chastity play so psychologically compelling to begin with.  Without further adieu… Top 5 Wearable Prostate Toys for Chastity  #5 - For the Beginner/Minimalist B-Swish Bfilled Basic Prostate Massager  Perfect for P-spot play newcomers, this beginner-friendly prostate plug features a comfortable size and ergonomic design specifically shaped to target the P-spot.

Mmmm. 2 weeks edged and built up already so I'll be begging for it." The Ultimate Chastity Experience Awaits The beauty of combining prostate play with chastity goes far beyond the physical sensations (though those are incredible). While your cock cage keeps one pleasure center off-limits, these plugs unlock an entirely different kind of experience. Fair warning: once you experience hands-free Super Orgasms while locked, you might find yourself questioning everything you thought you knew about pleasure.  Your move.

We get tons of questions about prostate play, especially from chastity wearers who've discovered that locked-up pleasure requires some creative problem-solving. This Anal August, we're breaking down everything you need to know about prostate pleasure. Your regular equipment might be out of commission, but your P-spot is ready to step up as the A-player. If you'd rather skip the pep talk and get straight to the butt stuff, browse our curated Anal August 2025 Product Guides to find exactly what you're looking for.  Best Vibrating Prostate Toys for Men Best Non-Vibrating Prostate Toys for Men Pegging Sex Toys for Couples Best Anal Play Toys for Beginners Anal Sex Toys for Sissies Fun and Unique Anal Toys to Putt in Your Butt 1. The Prostate is a Second Pleasure Center (And It’s Way More Powerful Than You Think) Here's something that might blow your mind: the penis glans has around 4,000 highly concentrated nerve endings, making it incredibly sensitive to direct touch. However, the prostate connects to entirely different nerve pathways that can create full-body sensations. What that means: the prostate's connection to the pelvic nerve and hypogastric nerve means it's deeply wired into your body's arousal and orgasm systems in a different way. This creates a fundamentally different type of pleasure. Let that sink in. While penile stimulation is intense and localized, prostate stimulation taps into nerve pathways that can trigger whole-body responses and multiple types of orgasmic sensations. For chastity wearers, this is particularly revolutionary. While traditional penis stimulation might be off-limits, prostate orgasms offer a completely different type of release. Unlike orgasms that typically result in that familiar post-climax crash, prostate orgasms can be multiple, longer-lasting, and won't kill your arousal or submissive energy. Many chastity couples report that prostate play actually enhances their dynamic rather than disrupting it. The locked partner stays engaged, attentive, and eager to please while still experiencing incredible pleasure. It's the best of both worlds: intense satisfaction without losing that focused, submissive headspace that makes chastity play so psychologically compelling. 2. Prostate Orgasms Are Wildly Different Than Traditional Orgasms Here’s the truth that you might not be ready to hear yet: Many men report that once they perfect prostate stimulation, it becomes their preferred method of climax. Male orgasms are often described as more intense, more satisfying, and infinitely more interesting than what they experienced before. If you're expecting prostate orgasms to feel like regular orgasms, prepare to have your expectations completely shattered. Some men describe prostate orgasms as a full-body experience that starts deep in your core and radiates outward. Instead of the quick, intense spike of a traditional orgasm, prostate pleasure builds in waves that can last significantly longer. For couples exploring chastity dynamics, this discovery can be relationship-changing. The locked partner gets to experience incredible pleasure while maintaining that psychological state that makes them attentive and focused on their partner's needs. And – no refractory period means the fun doesn't have to stop. That heightened arousal can continue for hours, or even days. 3. No, You Don’t Need to Be "Into Anal" to Enjoy Prostate Play Here's where we bust the biggest myth about prostate stimulation: you don't need to identify as someone who's "into anal play" to unleash your prostate's pleasure potential. Many men who never considered themselves interested in anal stimulation find that targeted P-Spot massage feels completely different from what they expected. The key difference is intention and technique. Prostate play isn't about penetration for its own sake. It's about accessing a specific area that responds to pressure, vibration, and targeted stimulation. Many prostate toys are designed specifically for this purpose, with ergonomically-curved shapes and targeted vibration patterns that focus on pleasure rather than just penetration. For beginners, focus on external massage before moving to internal stimulation. The prostate can actually be stimulated externally by applying pressure to the perineum (the area between your testicles and anus). This can be a great way to explore these sensations without any penetration at all. Essential Best Practices for Prostate Play Always, always, always mind rule number 1: Invest in proper anal toys. Prostate-specific massagers are designed with the right curves and safety features. Look for toys with flared bases to prevent any unwanted disappearing acts, like the fist-shaped dildon't pictured in an unfortunate X-ray image (photo credit unknown). Try a set of anal beads and work your way up over time.  Never go without lube again! The anal area doesn't self-lubricate, so quality lubricant isn't optional. Silicone-based lubes tend to last longer and provide better cushioning for extended play. However, silicone lube isn't compatible with silicone sex toys, so be sure to use a hybrid lube (water-based + silicone or aloe) if you want the thicker, longer-lasting texture that silicone is known for.  Start slow and communicate constantly. Whether you're flying solo or with a partner, pay attention to your body's responses. What feels good? What doesn't? This type of play requires patience and self-awareness. Don't hold your breath. Seriously - exhale through your mouth for a count of 4-5 during each thrust. Deep exhales help the body relax and loosen up, so focus on your breathing during anal sex to maintain comfort.  Hygiene matters, but don't overthink it. A simple shower and basic cleanliness are usually sufficient. Enemas aren't necessary for most prostate play, especially with smaller toys.  The Bottom Line Do you hear that? Listen closer. It's your prostate, and it's saying "put me in, coach!"  Your prostate has been patiently waiting for an introduction, and Anal August is the perfect reason to finally make its acquaintance. Remember: good things come to those who go deeper. 

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.
