Liberation of the Captive Balls

We have been experimenting with keeping C in chastity for the last month, but have finally had to stop. It's been frustrating, but I have learned a lot from the experience. For the benefit of others, and myself in the future, I can condense everything I learned into these small nuggets:

To reduce chafing in a captive ball device: the tube should be small enough that it is usually full, the A ring should be small enough that it's never loose, and the whole thing should be as small and as light as possible. This will reduce the amount that the device will move while being worn. The A ring should also be loose enough that when the tube does move it slides over the skin rather that rubbing or tugging it.

To securely lock someone in a captive ball device: the gap between the A ring and the tube must be small enough that the balls can't fit through, or the A ring has to be small enough that neither the penis nor either ball can come out while it's locked in place. The gap in the device must also be large enough that it won't pinch the skin or else it can cut off circulation or cause damage.

For these reasons, if a guy has a tight sack and small balls, then it will be difficult to find a captive ball device that fits securely. If you aren't sure, try this: using your thumb and forefinger make a ring around the ball sack between the balls and the penis shaft, then try to slide it off. If it slides off easily with only a slight increase in ring size, then you should consider two other methods for chastity: a piercing-connected device, or a full belt.

Unfortunately for me, I had to learn this the hard way. . .

With a mere two weeks weeks of ball stretching C fit easily into the curve. Not only could he fit the largest (2") A ring, but the 1.75" and 1.5" rings also. I started with the largest ring, slid the tube on, and with much excitement put the lock in place. The excited continued until an hour later when I watched the device fall off with no encouragement. Over the next couple weeks we tried various configurations, but couldn't find one that was both secure and comfortable. The chafing was the worst part, bad enough at times to cause a rash.

Some friends suggested trying a device with a smaller tube, and I had been interested in the silicone based devices, so we got a Bon4 and tried it. C found it much more comfortable, but no amount of tightening the ring could make it secure. And let me tell you, tightening it down as far as we did was not easy. It took the two of us several minutes to put the medium-sized ring in place, and enough muscle to connect the locking strap that I'm still astounded it didn't snap.

Thinking about it now, it's obvious why we had problems. The curve has the longest tube of it's family, this makes it heavier and increases it's leverage on the A ring. While C can fill it when fully erect, it's bigger than he needs, so he'll always have a problem with chafing. The Bon4 is smaller and lighter, but it has a big gap between the ring and tube which can't be adjusted, so it will never be secure for him. Now that I've seen one, I'm not sure how it would be secure for anyone.

I think our next best option is a piercing-connected device, but C is hesitant to get the necessary piercing and I won't force it on him. We'll keep regulating his orgasms while we continue his training, but we'll have to depend on the honour system. I know I can trust him, even with a bit of pushing, but I want to go easy until he's locked in something secure. I'm certain he would tell me if he were to slip up, but I don't want to force him into a situation where he might be unable to resist.
