Just under a year ago, I ran across male chastity and cages. I was intrigued even though I am single. So, I bought I birdlocked. Like Goldilocks, it was nice but not quite right. Then I went to a black holy trainer. This is when my girlfriend got involved. She lives 200 miles away and things will move slow as I am a single dad of an 11 year old. Anyway, I have found the holy trainer to be less than durable. It’s time for METAL! So I thought I would ask what you recommend. I started reading your archives from the very beginning and am now up to August 2011. I know you love the steelheart. And you just got the new and improved jailbird. I am wondering what metal you think might is the best or your favorite. Thanks much and thanks very much for your blog. My girlfriend and I both enjoy it very much!
Good for you guys!
Our favorite’s still the Steelheart. This is mostly an aesthetic thing. For me, it’s the real me as opposed to any of the other devices or even being unlocked. When I’m not in the Steelheart, I feel like I’m just waiting to go back in. That said, Mature Metal makes a good device, too. I keep getting feedback that Steelworxx (Dietmar) is non-responsive to email (and, to be honest, he was never much of a conversationalist due to the language difference), so for a first timer who likes the more open styles of MM devices, I’d probably give them the edge at this point.
Good luck!

Ibiza firemen free tourist trapped in sex toy
Medics in Ibiza were forced to enlist the help of buzz saw-wielding fire-fighters on Wednesday to free a German tourist from the clutches of a steel sex toy.
Emergency services needed two hours to cut through the metal ring, described as a type of “armour plating”, into which the man had placed his penis and testicles.
The firemen on hand needed two changes of battery and a second rotating blade for their buzz saw to free the man, local daily Diario de Mallorca reported on Friday.
There were “plenty of sparks” during the operation to remove the sex toy which measured 15cm in diameter.
The two-hour procedure was described as “very complex” because the man became “more swollen” with time.
He was also said to have complained a lot.
To finish the operation it was necessary to administer a total anaesthetic.
The fire crew received their unusual call-out at 10pm on Wednesday after medics at Ibiza’s Can Misses hospital discovered they didn’t have the tools to do the job.
It is not known how the man, a 51-yr-old German, got to the hospital.
This is not the first time that Majorcan fire-fighters have been called upon to free people from sex toys but “never one as big as this”.
After an overnight stay in the Urology department of the hospital the man is reported to have felt fine.
He was discharged late on Thursday morning.
You know, it’s just a matter of time.

I just wanted to drop you a line thanking you for your amazing blog. I have recently begun my own journey into chastity. I find your writing to be insightful, erotic, and pretty damn funny from time to time! I’ve experienced truly agonizing erections within my cb3k thanks to your writing. As I continue on my own journey into subbie-land I look forward to your blog as a source of great entertainment. Keep up the good work!
Thanks, appreciate the fawning praise! Always a good way to start the day. Glad you’re having a good time not getting it up.

Read your article on chastity. Very good run down on the pleasures and foibles of wearing a CB-6000 24/7. I’ve worn the CB-2000 for years until it broke at the tip. You’ll probably recall the locking pin rotated very easily and occasionally allowed the lock to pinch the delicate skin. The CB-6000, which i’ve worn since last September 2012, has a locking pin that is oblong in thickness and does not twist –right?
Yep. It’s oval so won’t spin. Also, there’s the two pins on either side to help keep shit from twirling.
All that said the weakest part of that current security design is the ease of twisting that lock and breaking the pin, or cutting the pin with a pair of small dikes. It’s an easy out of chastity. If I had a machine shop I’d make that pin out of metal. More specifically master lock makes bigger models for electric gates that have the locking pin locking directly into the lock itself. This would change the CB-6000 from an “on you honor” type device into a truly inescapable device. Somehow in my mind I know that at any given time I can get out of it, like my key holder leaving me the key “just in case” makes the device more pointless. Knowing I am truly and inescapably locked away gives me a more surrendered and helpless feeling.
Sure, you could really amp up that lock and pin, but it’s still holding a plastic device together. If destruction of the device (or any part of it) is enough of an “out” for you and takes some of the buzz out of the game, then I’d say you need to consider going full metal (and you don’t mention it, but without a piercing, you can always just pull out). However, as the story above illustrates, full metal with no back-up plan for getting out could put a strain on your local emergency response personnel.
I do get that the hotness of chastity increases with its inescapability, but I think you should spend some time contemplating the meaning of your sacrifice. Why do you submit to the device? Why do you want to be denied? The longer I do this, the more of a weird frantic zen-like satisfaction (if such a thing is possible) I get from the mental part of the game.

I read your review on the Locker 02 and the tips on the CB6000 and have some question about sizing. I have been wearing a CB6000s with 1 7/8 “A” ring and the second to smallest spacer for a 3/8 space between ring and tube. I think this is the same spacer you indicated using with the CB6000 device. Is your 65mm overall length measured from the penisring to the tip of the cage or from the back of the “A” ring? Also did you measure along the top centerline or on the side centerline? I would not consider myself very well endowed – viewing your Locker 02 install video, I think you look bigger than me. Measuring my CB6000s setup, I calculate a 85-90mm overall length (from back of “A” ring measured along the side centerline)- Any chance you have an image of the assembled CB6000s next to the Looker 02?
I measured from the base of the penis shaft to the tip along the top (and more than once to get an average). The length for the Steelworxx devices is measured from the A-ring to the tip of the tube/cage. I don’t have a CB6Ks so I can’t compare them. The S model didn’t come out until after or very near we started to transition to metal.
When in doubt, buy shorter. Good luck!

I’m thinking about getting a Steelheart, and was wondering if you could offer some tips about size.
I’ve got a cb6000. Here, I wear the middle sized ring, the 45 mm one. If I lubricate the shaft of the penis, this ring seems a bit too loose. When I don’t lubricate, it fits perfectly. The next ring that’s smaller than the 45 mm ring fits just barely with lubrication, but is too uncomfortable in the long run.
I find the cb6000 tube itself is a perfect, snug fit diameter wise. With the second smallest spacer, it’s also the perfect length.
From this, do you have any advice about what size ring, and width and length of tube would suit me best?
I found that the conversion to steel required a 3-5 mm reduction in the size of the A-ring. I too wore the 45 mm ring and bought that in steel and it was way too big. Now the Steelheart has a 40 mm ring and it’s probably just a tad too small (mostly because my balls have gotten noticeably bigger over time and the right one in particular has a hard time popping through). The Looker 02 uses a 42 mm ring and is better. A millimeter or two makes a huge difference down there.
WRT to length, I’d measure from the back of the A-ring to the tip of the tube and consider shaving off a couple of millimeters from that. The CB6K has a pointed tip and a steel device will be rounded. If you rounded off the CB6K cage, it would probably be too long (assuming it’s the right length now). This is something else I did since, like you, I found the CB6K cage to be fine. In steel, it felt (and was) too long. Also, it’s worth noting that the CB6K cage isn’t circular like a metal device will be and varies in circumference (tighter lower down the shaft then wider at the end). You’ll want to find a happy medium of the two.
Great site, by the way. Still haven’t had time to look through half of it.
Thanks. Try to only read the good half!
