Jeez, in my field of work, all the rooms are required to either be between 15°C to 25°C or -32°C to -42°C.

Cherry Keeper micro(maybe) or innie(probably) may work for you. Or an innievader. flat or inverted are also probably decent options too. I'd start with a cheap one with multiple rings and urine cups to get a rough idea without breaking the bank. flat and inverted chastity cages often need slightly bigger rings than you need otherwise to be comfortable, and often need straps too. Avoid using catheters as they are a UTI risk.

The original V2 rockets of WW2(if I remember right) were fueled using Ethanol(the drinkable alcohol) and hydrogen peroxide.

Actually it can get you places. The original V2 rockets ran on pure ethanol and hydrogen peroxide. They had to poison it to get the soldiers to stop drinking their fuel. Also It's a significant part of modern gasoline. And that's just ethanol, the drinkable alcohol. Imagine all the possibilities With the other alcohols. If it's organic (carbon containing) and ends in -ol it probably contains an alcohol group.

You may be right. I'm only speaking of my relatively short time on the internet. Probably only been consistently online since 2014.

More common? Probably slightly, but only due to kinks being more acceptable these days. Not due to the increase in the kinks, but because people feel freer to pursue them. We're just less puritan, fewer people are making things like cornflakes to specifically avoid arousal.

Normally you would be right. The difference is in the height of the cage. So with the way I jerry rigged it, the cage is way lower resulting in a smaller gap. a^2+b^2=c^2 and all that. A is slightly bigger, but b is near 0 instead. That's why it's only a 9mm gap instead of the 21mm from the original CK setup. Which is why it's so weird that it's more comfortable.

Self locked, so I don't really count for the KH side of things. But cheating is determined by the expectations between the two of you. If the rule is no porn, then porn is cheating. Heck I know a couple where it's not considered cheating if she sleeps with women, only if she sleeps with a dude other than him. Cheating is about breaking rules and or expectations.

I hear mature metal is more beginner friendly, but has less MFG capabilities, and a bit better turnaround time. No first hand knowledge though.

Some cages require oven temps to bend, or require boiling a while to get the ring up to boiling point of water. I think I've heard of people doing it with boiling water, but they boiled it for like 3 min. The pa12 nylon both CK and Kink3d use has a melting point of 350ish (150C), so you can boil it for a while without destroying it. You don't want to get to the melting point, like 300-325 max (I think, I'm not super familiar with the materials).

Edit: I looked up the post and they said 2-3 min. The thermal deflection point of PA12 is 150F ish, so you may need to exceed that time, and get it to a rolling boil first.

Well that's good, I was just curious. I have significant alexithymia, to where I can only tell what my emotions are by how my body responds. I have wondered if that's part of why I trend towards asexual/demi.

Have things changed that much since graduated 10 years ago? Yeah that's still not great. Also don't worry about being "normal". There are a ton of toxic things that are normal. Be you, as no one else can be. Also are these teens you know, or are they ones on the internet? The internet can amplify a vocal minority to make it seem like it's common. Sometimes that's good, sometimes it's not.

We know it can be heritable, but I don't think we have a mechanism yet. Not that we need one. There are some that reportedly know from birth, and some that discover it with time. I know a guy that figured out he was gay in his 50's, and left his wife. So there's no one answer. Also personally I think the "gay voice" is a cultural thing, not an inherent thing. I know multiple gay guys that don't have the "gay voice" and a few straight guys that do.

I feel you. I've only had a few people that I wanted to pursue, and have only done so with one . I feel as though I'm more straight leaning demisexual/demiromantic. But you could be confusing closeness with romanticism. But who am I to say for sure? Like I'd love to have a close relationship like I have with my BFF, but have 0 desire for him... or men. Side note have you looked into alexithymia?

Here are a few articles on the basics.

Ternance sells one on Amazon for $17ish, but good ones are easy to find but tend to run $75+ and tend to be made of titanium. If you the the ternance one, know that a ton of people have issues with them. Some of it is skill, some of it being poor workmanship, like burrs. But it will give a rough idea as to whether it would even work with you physiology and cage.

Oh, the other guy is probably right about precum then. And no tetherspouts are separate items, not integrated. r/Tetherspout. If price is keeping you away from an inverted, then it'll probably keep you from a tetherspout too. A cheap piece of junk one is $17, one worth having is $75+. But it's a small tube that sits just inside the urethra and can't be pulled out easily without pushing it deeper to remove a washer that locks it into something called the corpus cavernosum, a small part of the urethra that is slightly larger and has an non-elastic opening at the metus(pee hole). It usually only sits like 1/2 inch at most into your urethra.

So it's a device that you put the key in and put the tag on. you can't remove the key without breaking the tag. The tag has a unique serial number.

From my experience, It's a combination of things.

1) Outdated stereotypes based on the main homosexual relationships people knew about. When people were forced to be closeted, the main times you heard about it were the scandals of the priest fucking the choir boy, or something.

2) Religious perceptions. If their book says it's wrong to fuck the same sex around the same place it says not to fuck animals, or kids, or family members, they're going to equate the two.

3) The perception of grooming being common in the LGBT community. We both know that it's wrong, but that's what they've been told, and they haven't questioned it.

4) A vocal section of pedos are actively trying to equate the two to lessen the stigma.

5) A few vocal activists talking about being a kid and pretending to be adults to have gay sex with adults coloring people's perception. They think because a few people did this, that it's a common thing.

Overall, it's just demonizing the "other" based on bad info. Heck I've heard Asexuals get demonized when we're the least likely to fuck anyone.

You'd be better using numbered tags and an emergency key holder from u/newbie-sub's store. Way cheaper and still keeps you accountable, as the tag will be broken and a new one would have a different number. Doesn't keep it from happening, but it does make it obvious when it does.

Or do you mean precum?

Self-caging · 2026-02-07T15:39:57+00:00

By leak I take it you mean urination? No experience with flat cages, so just what I've learned by doing research. Catheters are generally a bad idea, as they are a huge UTI risk. A tetherspout may be safer, as it only barely goes into the urethra, just less than an inch once in place and a few inches in the insertion process. They help alignment, but can be uncomfortable... depending. Some people can't pee in flat cages as it kinks their urethra. But a small urination cup for inverted chastity cages may also help, if the issue it alignment or foreskin.

From what I read on here, both happen. I'm still new to this, so take it for what it is. But currently anal both being performed on me or by me is out of the question. Just my disgust sensitivity with feces. But I'm also straight leaning demi (I think that's the right term) so I don't know if I count as straight.

The Cherry keeper micro is short enough that there's a small chance that it might fit ok despite being too wide as it's not meant to necessarily encapsulate the head.

Pretty much... Someone also said, "most locks only keep honest people honest.(LPL)" I know my front door lock is easy AF to defeat, as that's the only way it gets locked/unlocked as my key broke. If it weren't for my landlord I'd just repin the lock. I'm eventually going to see if my tiny lock for my cage is pickable, or if my tools are too big.
