I also do not like using chastity devices myself. I know one submissive who is very much into chastity though and have been following the chastity threads with interest.

Hello. I have just starting serving a Dominant woman who requires me to be chaste. However, we aren't using a device: she wants me to control myself. I am grateful for this, since I don't want to be locked up that way and I am concerned that it could be dangerous in a number of ways.

That said, the chastity I'm undertaking is pretty extreme, since I will not be allowed to orgasm at all: her orgasms will be enough for both of us, for the duration of the relationship, and I will focus exclusively on her pleasure. I had never considered chastity before, especially this extreme form, but here I am--what a guy will do for a Lady!

I would avoid long term chastity device use. A normal functioning male will typically have a semi erect to erect penis at least 3-4 times a night while he sleeps. This is biological and is mother nature's way of actually maintaining blood supply to the penis tissues during rest. (Sleep studies are typically conducted on impotent men to determine physical vs. psychological dysfunction for this reason. If impotence related to physical reasons, then the man's penis fails to become erect during sleep periods. If erections occur with rest but unable to during sexual activity then function of the penis is not impeeded, and has other underlying causes)

Any chastity device that prevents the normal nocturnal functions of the penis could lead to long term damage.

I use the Carrara belt and own two of the devices. My slave is allowed out of the belt twice weekly for deep cleaning and every month or so I may allow an orgasm...occassionally more often for My entertainment.
There have been no long term problems...very occassionally he may experience a small canker type sore on the end of his penis if the weather has been exceptionally hot causing sweating and rubbing.
The one negative physically is that occassionally he will get thickening of the skin from the waist belt but a few days of freedom clears it up quite well. When I do not allow those few days the thickening will also darken the skin.

Long term chastity is one of those things I've always wanted to try once I had a stable partner. Unfortunatley, I also think it is one of those activities that once I was forced into it, I might find it to be something I really, REALLY hated. It's one of those things that I've always felt would be very useful in training me, but at the same time acknowledging that what is useful is not always what is most desired.

Welcome ot the boards, Shadowsdream. I am glad to see you here and look forward to your input!
However, weekly removal of the device, for orgasmic release and thorough cleaning
I have also had boys ask if I will put them into chastity and hold the key. I haven't consented to do this, as I prefer to have the boy under My roof, where I can monitor blood flow and comfort.
I agree with Shadowsdream that having a chastity device might ruin a spontaneous moment here and there, but I am one who can have an equal amount of fun with forms of teasing that don't directly involve the cock and balls. So I am more than willing to trade for the power of controlling his sexuality.

No I would never keep him in chastity for months without at the very least a thorough cleaning of the belt...even if I did not wish to check for any sores due to rubbing or pinching I would still insist on the deep cleanings.
It is not particularly unusual to not allow an orgasm for 2 or 3 months...as a matter of fact I enjoy taking him past his frustration into acceptance.
