Talkin' 'bout shortrifrication

[puddleoflesh]

Lnxus, Glad you like it!

It's been 31 day since committing to the cage. I've grown quite accustomed to it. Now the duration averages more like 45 hours on, 3 off. The routine varies some, but not much.

Have reached the point where the penis feels oddly our of place when released for inspection and to allow it to dry. There's a new sense of relief when the cage again pushes it back inside my body.

Finding it difficult to photograph the package in its warm and relaxed state, with an uncaged penis. As soon as I release the penis, the scrotum tends to pull up for quite some time, shortening the look of the penis significantly compared to my chosen, relaxed-state reference photo. I'll figure something out.

Congratulations with your success with the inverted cage. The longest I wore mine continuous without taking it off was 1 month. I really loved wearing the cage. Likked how it prevented erections and the bright shiny stainless steel when I pulled my underwear down. There was a real sense of security with the cage on. My only problem was that it restricted my urine flow to where my bladder wasn't emptying completely and I got a really bad UTI. The bacteria that is normally in the urine needs to be flushed out and not allowed to colonize.

Thanks for the heads-up @NuderThanNude. So far so good. I make a point to stay well hydrated. So far the frequent flushing seems to be doing the trick.

Not quite two months in the cage, but I thought I'd drop in.

Decided to experiment with a push-back setup inside the tube, to hold the cage and penis in place up higher, while the scrotum continues downward. It's a pain to get the balls in the tube, since the twisted stainless steel device breaks suction until the tube is fully in place. However, once the seal is made this setup works well. I even feel less pressure around the mouth flange of the tube, as some of that upward/inward pressure is being applied against the cage inside, not just against my crotch.

Stainless steel welding rod, twisted and bent into shape. It's plenty rigid for the task.

Put the device in place, then bring the tube up over it, and carefully shove in the balls.

Again, getting the balls started in the tube can be a pain. It's comfortable and highly effective once a seal is made and pumping can begin.

Nothing much to show. The penis seems shorter to me, and hides inside a false foreskin for an hour or more after release from the cage, before finally peeking out. Erections still occur at times, usually during REM sleep, but happens seldom now. I thought I'd wait until the three month mark, before photographing the results of this shortening experiment. The penis gets 2-3 hours out of the cage, for every 72 hours.

Three one-hour pumping sessions over 5 days; the last pump finished about 24 hours before these pics were taken.
29cm, 11.5" around the eggs.

A little extra room in the sac. Balls pulled up a little before the shot.

View from below, a bit fuzzy. No urethra tube in place today.

While not one for caging myself, I’m always intrigued to see how anyone approaches a making a custom setup for their goals. I really like how you think outside the box to come up with a solution…… sitting around thinking …… hey don’t I have some nitrile plugs?? That would be perfect for the urethral wand!

While not in this context, I do much the same thing repurposing items to a new use.

Keep it up and give us progress updates, while I have no desire to cage, I do enjoy seeing others so caged.

Thinking on it and adding your goals to suggestions I’ve made for others. The inverted basket or something similar could be held in place by two barbell piercings at the base of the penis . Vertical and horizontal with the basket (or similar, trapped inside . That MAY make for easier pumping and no steel ring against the scrotum, though I do not know how it would respond to pumping as a chastity piercing .

[puddleoflesh]

I understand what you're aiming at with the piercings. Two reasons I don't go that route: The healing time could take two to three months before the piercings could take the strain of holding in the penis. Even then, during pumping, the part of the package above the scrotum would continue to stretch into the tube and lengthen further, as much or more than the scrotum skin will. As inconvenient as it is to use, the stainless rod keeps that upper portion from extending any further into the tube, forcing the scrotum to take all the stretch.

One could devise other ways to mount a brace/push-back/whatever inside the tube for more convenient use, but I may not bother going that route. If one were to design a tube with such a brace in mind, one that fitted into its hole or slot perfectly, that might be a nice feature. Not likely that enough would sell to make it profitable to the manufacturer. Too many variables involved to make a workable standard model, and few men want to shorten or hide their penis while stretching their sac.

I must admit that looks very impressive . Penis has almost gone, my question is how did you get your balls to hang like that ?

I'm still wearing it. In truth, I don't think the penis is getting much smaller than it used to be, but keeping it tucked in has become very comfortable. The penis now feels wrong when not tucked away. I let it out for a couple of hours every couple days or so and give it and the cage a thorough cleaning.

Erections, though still possible, are softer and short-lived. Masturbation and sex now consist of ball/scrotum fondling and anal play. It's quite pleasurable and multiple dry orgasms are common.

Four + years of intensive weight training is responsible for much of the hang: 2-3lbs (0.9-1.4kg) worn 24 hours a day, five days a week. I don't wear underwear, or any clothing that prevents the sac from hanging free.

I started pumping only afterwards. Pumping definitely expands the sac, but it doesn't appear to help the scrotum hang.

Both weight training and pumping tend to make the penis appear shorter, as the skin and mons pubis tend to stretch, grow, and hang lower, hiding some of the penis shaft underneath.

I just realized I've been wearing this cage for over five months. Wow, time flies.

Backing up in time a bit: Regarding the tapered end on the urethra insert, it became unbearably uncomfortable after 6 to 8 hours. I discovered that my glans just didn't have enough room for good blood circulation inside the cage pocket. After leaving the cage off for 20 minutes or so, it was good for several more hours, but that's not an ideal chastity setup.

I turned down the taper to a straight 11mm (7/16") cylinder shape. It did better, but my penis still could not get used to the long-term pinch effect. Finally, I decided to reverse the insert and push the blunt 9mm diameter end into the hole; the short blunt pipe goes in easily. Whadda ya know! It's now comfortable for days.

Insert comfortably in place.

Here's how it looks today; not fully relaxed. The scrotum has a mind of its own. The package has not been pumped for almost 3 months. I wanted to see what my current normal scrotum size measures up to.

Slightly relaxed and hanging. Photo taken from below, while standing. 26cm (10.2") around the eggs; my new normal.

It's been over a year now.

The penis has grown quite comfortable being tucked away most of the time, coming out for regular inspections and cleaning every couple of days.
In its flaccid state, it seems smaller than it was at the beginning of this trial. If I leave the cage off for a few days, it expands and lengthens some and erections are still possible. The erect penis is not noticeably smaller or shorter than before being tucked away a year ago. Perhaps if I had started this earlier in life, it may have made more of a difference. Maybe not.

I do keep up with infrequent maintenance pumping; the scrotum size is essentially unchanged since the last photos shared here. The stainless steel band is effectively permanent. With the cage portion removed, the balls can't pop back through it. I'm OK with that, and will consider removing it only if medically necessary.

I suppose I could take more pictures, but I doubt viewers would notice any significant changes.

[Lnxus]

Dude...wow!! I love every single Picture!! So nice and Smoothie....WOW !!!

[puddleoflesh]

Thank you, @Lnxus.
Update: My partner and I flew south to visit family for a couple of weeks, a short while back. The band remained, but we left the cage portion at home. One morning, I woke in the hotel room with a full, hard erection. This hadn't happened in quite some time. I was able to measure the top of penis from the root, where it attaches to the pelvis, to the tip. To my surprise, the penis measured much shorter than it once did; 4.5", 11.4cm compared to it's original length of 6", 15.2cm. Pulled down by weights and pumping, the skin has engulfed most of that. Visually, the penis is quite short these days.

Attached are some pics, about 20 minutes after finishing a gentle morning pump. They show just how much the skin of my crotch has stretched over the years, engulfing about 3", 7.6cm of the penis at all times. The uppermost faint line marks the base of the penis.

A pic taken earlier, the cage off for several hours. Usually, the head just peeks out, within a false foreskin, but sometimes it hides inside.
