Well my wife did like the look of the Cobra cage more than the cherry keeper, so that's a plus. Unfortunately, I decided I had ordered the wrong size cage so I reordered. The new cage caused an immediate and intense allergic reaction. So I was uncaged for over two weeks to let things settle down. We'll try it again when they come out with a hypoallergenic cage, hopefully in 2022.
Things have been going pretty well on all other fronts, no orgasm for 2 months. Last PIV was Dec. 12. At some point while I was caged, but we were fooling around, she reached down and grabbed the cage and said it made her feel powerful. That's a big change. She has also touched/grabbed a few other times, this is new and encouraging.
I am trying very hard not to tell her what to do. I played Marvin Gaye's "ain't nothin like the real thing" for her after xmas and offered to let her unlock me

She asked me if I wanted to be unlocked...

I simply refused to answer, had I said yes, she would have unlocked me. She thought about it for a bit and finally said, "no, when we first start out you always like to go to extremes, so I'll keep you locked" Right answer! Then while we were fooling around she said "maybe 6 months"

We are both really enjoying me wearing the Vixskin. On the 12th I was close to orgasm and I begged to fuck her with the big cock. She said instead of coming? I thought she meant at that moment, so I said yes. Nope, she meant no orgasm at all, Then the cage was back on, and I've been happily locked up for over 2 weeks.
She has said she's only doing this for me, because I want it. She wasn't really into it.

I told her to lie

She did say I was particularly good using the Vixskin this past weekend.

Maybe that'll change her mind.
So I've got a birthday in Jan., Valentines day in Feb. and her birthday in March. If she waits for March, that will be the longest period of denial for us ever. At that point she might as well add on another month and go for 6 months. It will be interesting to see what she does. I am trying to give her more positive feedback, maybe we'll get to a good place together on this.
Caged 24/7 since March 1,2025. Locked in a Cherry Keeper Stub
