Odd pain issue... Need some suggestions?

[dmxrobot]

I may be providing more information than necessary, but I figure the more info, the better.

So I wore my jailbird for 4 days without ANY discomfort at all. I mean, seriously, I've been unbelievably comfortable! I went to sleep for the first time a couple nights ago without underwear. When I awoke, I noticed a SLIGHT discomfort in my testicles. I threw on some pants and off to work I went. During the course of the day, I grew increasingly uncomfortable. It felt like slowly, the pressure on my testicles was increasing. I got home and had to take the device off. I did notice that the pants I wore the past couple of days was pulling the device in different directions due to less space in the crotch than I'd expect.

I kept it off that night and awoke feeling pretty good again. I gently felt around and everything had pretty well returned to normal. While in the shower, I gave everything a thorough washing as I wanted to be squeaky clean for the kh. (Who knows when luck will strike and she may want to play, right??) I carefully dressed and out the door I went. While driving, I felt GREAT - thought I was back to 100% and it was just an odd wear issue. After about 3 hours, I was feeling some strain and discomfort again. I took the device off around 11:30 - and it was really sad to do so.

I stayed out the rest of the day. I got home around 7 and fiddled with things, but nothing definitive. I've emailed William at MM a couple of times, and he's been WONDERFUL. He had a couple of suggestions such as decreasing the gap size. Sounded reasonable, however, I have one more piece to add.

Tonight when I got home I thought - put the base ring on and see how that feels. That will tell me if it's pressure from the gap / cage that's the cause of the pain. Guess what? After just a couple of minutes, the beginnings of fatigue / pain started to set in again. The uncomfortable feeling seems to be coming from the bottom of the scrotum / balls.

Have any of you experienced something like this? I was really surprised as I mentioned as the first 4 days were wonderfully comfortable. Could the base ring be too small?? It's not overly tight, and the base ring has never caused real pain...

Am I just trying too fast? Any input would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks so much!!

One other note- I have some soreness ABOVE and to both sides of my penis- sort of below or on the sides of my bladder. When the tenderness behind my scrotum flares up, the soreness near the bladder flares up too, but generally lags behind. It's a soreness sort of like if you did way too many stomach crunches, but slightly lower.

Is this your first CD? If not, did you have any issues with a different device?

dmxrobot - always better to give more info than less, so don't worry about the details. Have you considered that the soreness of your "bladder" might be blue balls - have you experienced that before? Its generally a dull lower abdomen ache - and for me, it can be caused by denial of 7 days or more - but things like extra teasing, or sitting in a way where the blood flow can make it happen much earlier.

As to the overall pain, it might be that the device base ring is too small. How experienced are you to chastity? Have you tried different types of underwear to see what might work best for you? I find that depending on what I'm doing (sitting around vs moving around) that wearing different types helps either protect against pressure by allowing more movement when I'm sitting (looser boxer briefs), or protect against too much movement (tighter regular briefs.)

Thanks so much for the reply!!! I have hope from your suggestions!

I'm not experienced AT ALL. Literally this is the first device I've ever owned. I wore for maybe 24 hours starting Thursday the 21st of feb. I took off for maybe 24 hours, and talked to wife. She was on board, so Saturday night (2/23) I went back in. She teased me lots Saturday night. I wore continuously until Tuesday night. Tuesday night i went to bed naked, so no support at all. device could have been pointing due south all night for all i know. Now, Tuesday morning, the wife really got me turned on by demanding i please her before work. obviously no release for me, but i was intensely turned on. Tuesday night i removed when I got pretty uncomfortable. It built through the day. I did add a shoelace to the top of the device Tuesday afternoon and that seemed to relieve some pressure. It really felt like I had been lifting weights with my junk. Just soreness above and to the sides of the penis. Really the muscle tissue.

I woke up Wednesday feeling about 90% better. While in the shower I slipped back in. I remember driving to work thinking "man I feel 100x better!" After about 3 hours I was fatigued again and had to release. I stayed a little tender the rest of the day. I had a nice bath with wife as well as some t and d without the device. Really sore in the muscles again afterwards. Thought I had done about 1,000 stomach crunches last night, just lower muscles were sore, but similar fatigue / aches. After a night of rest (lying down always brings relief), I was back to 90% this AM.

I have purchased 2 different types of underwear to try some options. Also, it's ENTIRELY possible I'm sitting funny with the device on- truly straining those muscles to protect / add space for the larger device and balls. I did some reading and it sort of sounds like sore pelvic floor muscles?? I'm hoping I can rest / relax a bit longer and give a fresh start either later this weekend or first of next week.

Wife and I are scheduled for some play time tonight. I'd love to be locked away, but may have to forego that for another couple of days.

Being under lock and key Saturday -Tuesday AM was absolutely AMAZING and I desperately want to get back to that happy / satisfied place fast!!!

Since you're so new to it, I would like to encourage you to give it some time. Try out different underwear, ways of sleeping, adjusting more when sitting (if I drive for more than an hour, I make sure to stop and take time to move around a bit every couple hours, minimum.)

For the great majority of us, adjusting to life in the belt is not nearly as most fantasy stories where it's "locked up and all good" from the get go.

I wrote an FAQ years ago for beginners, it might have some helpful info: http://www.aarkey.info/chas/

Give your body time to adjust to it, its not like wearing a watch

Pardon the pun but this sound KEY to me. I also agree that you should try different styles of underwear. For me, high and tight works, others like a looser feel.

Bottom line is you started out with a great CD so take it slow and let your body adapt. Also keep William in the loop as to your issues since he is a wealth of knowledge.

Thanks for the feedback! If nothing else, it's nice to have done good input from experienced people. I agree I took it pretty fast, and I am realizing that even though I felt great this AM, I was a little sore with no wearing today. I probably didn't help anything by jumping back in so fast yesterday.

William has been a good resource, however, he admitted he was not familiar with the soreness I'm experiencing. I am starting to think I probably have the right sizing based on conversation, but I've probably jumped in a little quickly.

I did ask about the benefits of a double base ring, so perhaps even while not wearing the device, at least I can still spend money on the lifestyle!

Seriously, thanks to those who have taken the time to respond with thoughts and suggestions. Aarkey, you have a lot of resources on that page. Thanks for putting that together!

As to the overall pain, it might be that the device base ring is too small.

Years ago, experimenting with snap straps of various types and sizes I learned that having a tight constriction around the base of the penis and scrotum can cause an ache such as described. The tighter the constriction and the more arousal experienced, the more intense the ache. With a tight enough constriction and being teased to erection it can become unbearable, yet despite the pain the erection remains. I can see this could easily be used as a means of compelling someone to do something they wouldn't normally do- in fact, I have little doubt that in a situation like this with my hands restrained and Mrs. Twisted teasing, there would be a point at which I would do practically *anything* to make it stop.

You might need a larger base ring...at least for a while until you become a little more 'used to' being locked up and the intensity fades a little. When Mrs. Twisted and I first got into this together, I made the mistake of using the smallest ring with the CB3k because it was the only one I couldn't 'pull out' of...and the feeling when she drove away to work with the key was so intense that it was very painful. I managed to last only 3 days (and nights) until it became so intense that I *had* to get out of it, the extreme pain and sleep deprivation made it impossible to continue.

You might be on to something. Mentally it makes sense that I may just be built a little "different" and need just a hair larger size.

I'm intrigued by coupling the next larger size with the idea William presented about a double base ring. Until I have the single size figured out, and since double base rings cannot be resized, I think I'll hold off for now on that upgrade. I was debating ordering a second larger base ring as I've heard some like a slightly different fit between summer and winter.

Thanks for chiming in! I'm not the ONLY one, and it feels nice to be in good company! Thanks so much.
