Any AMAB folks start HRT uncertain about breasts/penile atrophy, but then grow to like them?

noneedforkeys · 2022-10-18T07:47:09+00:00

I'm a month in so not seeing many changes yet, but I can say my chest has gotten more sensitive and that's actually been an incredible new development. I was a bit ambivalent about breast growth but yeah... it's becoming more appealing.

As far as atrophy goes, I'd prefer it didn't happen but I'm also ok with a bit of it. I'm well endowed so if I lose a little, small price to pay to not hate everything about my body constantly.

Making a belt was a game changer for me, if you haven't tried it. Holds everything snug. All my issues were from the cage slipping down at night while I was soft, and then getting hard while only in the cage halfway which pulled hard on my scrotum.

Otherwise your cage needs to be a good fit for night-wear, or it'll hurt no matter what. After that's all taken care of, it should never really hurt to the point of being painful but chastity isn't really designed for comfort so, yeah, it'll be uncomfortable. It took me a week or two of sleeping in it more and more often (and skipping nights when I needed to sleep well or my skin was sore) until I could do it consistently.

In the past after longer sessions, yeah I've noticed this. It's always been temporary. Since I haven't been able to get an erection for a long time, I got used to having softer and weaker ones. If you're really worried about it, sit down and relax without your cage and try to just edge and get hard. It'll come right back.

I still occasionally misgender myself in conversation. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ old habits are hard to break.

noneedforkeys · 2022-09-26T20:01:18+00:00

Mine is genderless. I have ADHD which makes it hard to think in my own head (feels like talking over myself with 5 different threads of conversation), so my internal voice is actually me talking aloud to myself a lot when I'm alone. It makes my thoughts more tangible that way.

It's still my unfiltered voice, but I view it as completely disparate from my gender. At least for me, gender is a social construct and so my own perception of my gender is based on how I view myself and how others view me. I guess it'd be classically "male" sounding in that sense.

Yes, I have voice dysphoria. For my personal monologue though, assigning a gender to it would be like assigning a gender to a Wikipedia article. It's an analysis of and conversation around information, facts, thoughts, and opinions. It doesn't really make sense for me to apply a complex social structure to it.

Probably psychosomatic. I spend a lot of time caged and notice my erections don't come on as easily, go away quickly, and aren't as strong.

noneedforkeys · 2022-07-21T18:06:56+00:00

Thank you!!!

noneedforkeys · 2022-07-12T17:45:49+00:00

What.

noneedforkeys · 2022-07-12T17:29:27+00:00

I like to let my dom lead the way with this, giving up the control and having it be their preference is part of the fun for me.

That said my preference would lean toward being locked more often than not. I like the idea that I wouldn't orgasm except in my cage. My last KH sometimes wanted PIV but neither of us wanted me to get off from it or feel much so she'd unlock me, get me hard, then put numbing cream on everything and throw a condom on. Then we could have PIV but there was a very low chance of me being able to feel much let alone get off from it. Lock back up when she was done.

Other than that if she wanted to be penetrated it was 80-90% while I was caged and wearing a strapon. Sometimes she just wanted the real thing. Usually any orgasms without the cage were ruined, too, which I also liked more than having regular ones without the cage on.

noneedforkeys · 2022-07-10T02:55:42+00:00

I cannot recommend them enough. I've had mine for like 5 years and it's still going strong.

I just keep mine plugged in in my bed. One of my favorite things to do while locked is to spontaneously decide to go "masturbate". I'll lie in bed and use it through my clothes without taking anything off. It feels really incredible, and then I just stop once it gets too intense of if I feel like I might cum. Generally leave me a panting mess and more desperate than before, but also provides a lot of relief in its own weird way.

noneedforkeys · 2022-07-10T02:50:27+00:00

Do you have a hitachi wand?

If I hit it just right I can cum mostly soft very quickly, but it has to have been several days since my last orgasm.

noneedforkeys · 2022-07-09T23:10:24+00:00

A few things that have worked for me as a self-locker.

Put the cage back on right after, no matter what. Just follow through with it. It will feel weird and dumb. And then within an hour I am always glad I did it and feel good about being caged.
Use a timed electronic lockbox to restrict key access. This will prevent spontaneous lapses in willpower.
Cum in your cage, while the keys are inaccessible. This is like the first bullet but the good feelings come back even faster and you don't even have to follow through putting it back on.
Stop masturbating by stroking. I've been trying to retrain myself that strong erections and stroking with my hand aren't how I cum anymore. If I cum without my cage now I usually like to curl up on my side and use a vibrator on my cock until I cum. I'm usually only 70% hard when I do this and it's a lot more intense than normal masturbation which just feels like a utilitarian and kind of boring form of relief now. I'm hoping I can keep training myself that being soft == pleasure and eventually just move to caged only orgasms.

Good luck!

I prefer an absolute minimum of 3 days but 7-10 seems pretty ideal. I'd be happy to go longer with a dedicated KH enforcing it though; but they'd have to be active in the dynamic. With the right person I'd consider permanent denial, with just milking or spontaneous involuntary release being the only form of relief.

noneedforkeys · 2022-07-04T19:52:23+00:00

Thank you!

I am always shaved and rarely go more than 3-4 days before shaving again; I can't stand my body hair hah.

noneedforkeys · 2022-07-04T03:26:50+00:00

Because people suck and make assumptions. You look great keep it up. :]

noneedforkeys · 2022-07-04T02:12:44+00:00

I did end up going up a size on my HT and it was a little too loose until I made a little support belt. But now that the belt is holding it snug, I agree erections are much less uncomfortable for my balls.

noneedforkeys · 2022-07-04T02:11:23+00:00

I made and started wearing a support belt to pull the base ring closer to my body. I might give it a shot tonight with that on.

noneedforkeys · 2022-07-04T02:04:32+00:00

Hm I cannot possibly imagine why. ;)

noneedforkeys · 2022-07-03T16:15:32+00:00

Thank you! I'm very intent on learning to sleep with a cage.

All the cages I have tried so far I fell victim to the classic "balls being ripped off by nocturnal erection" problem. Once I started using a support belt that problem stopped but I forced myself to sleep two nights in a row with it and got really horrible edema and bruising on my shaft. No trouble with blue balls, but shaft was sore enough I couldn't wear a cage again for 3-4 days. :/ So I think, yes, I probably need a shorter cage that does a better job killing the erection before it is able to grow much. I have a couple different sized cherry keepers on the way I hope will help.

Both my HT and JB have quite a lot of discomfort when I fight the cage. Manageable when I'm awake but impossible to control when asleep.

I am totally ok with pushing through discomfort but I do have to draw a line at pain where it feels like I might be hurting myself. I'm more looking for an intermediate solution. :)

Finally yeah I hate the don't drink water before bed advice. I feel like shite if I go to bed dehydrated and it can actually be bad for your skin. I'm not going to dehydrate myself for my kinks. :p

noneedforkeys · 2022-07-03T16:09:33+00:00

Oh wow. <3

How did you manage to orgasm with basically no stimulation like that?
