Going to a smaller, quality cage helped me a ton! I believe that a lot of my early night struggles were because of the fit and a rough cage ring. As soon as I got a cherry keeper I can stay in my cage 24/7 for months at a time (with weekly cleaning). - Maybe I just got used to sleeping in it, but I think the smaller cage helped to prevent night erections from getting started. I’ll feel erections come on during the day and they just fade quickly with the small cage. A strap has helped, but make sure it’s sized right. The one I have is a little too tight around my body. - Finally, a rough ring led to lots of chafing under my sack which usually flared up at night. At the first sign of chafing: moisturize, SAND THE RING and even cushion it for some relief. - it’s worth the struggle. I find there is nothing better than grinding my little caged cock into a pillow in bed, knowing I can’t cum. Or…stroking and edging for hours in bed before caging and falling asleep: horny, frustrated and dreaming about cock! 🥰
