CB-2000Submitted by: BondisanI have been wearing one for the last 12 days. It works well. The only problem that I have had in the last 12 days is that I am so horny I could scream. In general I like it a lot. It is the best chastity device I have tried so far. The following paragraphs outline the difficulties I have had although please note that it has been very satisfying (read: sexually frustrating!) in general. The only real problems I can report is that I can see it through some of my dress pants and erection attempts during the night wake me up. The former I hope to solve with a shopping trip while the latter I don't know what to do about. The erection attempts during the night have only been a problem for the last couple of days and I suspect an attempt by my body at a wet dream. Erection attempts don't hurt like they do with my birdcage (another trapped balls chastity device) but they can cause a burning sensation where the A-ring contacts my scrotum. More on the last problem later. Major pluses for this device are that it is light weight, hygienic, does not restrict movement significantly, and is comfortable. Minuses are that there is no option of cage sizes, it is not as visually striking as a steel device, and it does make a noticeable bulge in your pants. I also thought that the brass padlock it was delivered with was a joke. We replaced that with another brass padlock of similar size with a real key that was bought at a local hardware store. The pants bulge is far worse than a belt type chastity device and indeed worse than my birdcage, which is not noticeable at all. The birdcage, though, starts to smell after a couple of days, has pinching problems, and erection attempts get painful. I have not noticed any problems with odor and feel clean. I have not had good luck trying to use a urinal and prefer to sit to pee but a bit of toilet paper cleans everything up nicely. Since my most beautiful goddess Mistress (who is watching me write this and suggested that description of herself!) is very sensitive to odors (both good and bad) she would have told me if there were any bad odors I did not notice. It can restrict some movement, namely if I bend way over at the waist I have to spread my legs to allow the cage between them, but this is far less restricting than the Tollyboy knockoff I fabricated a few years ago. If you are an ultimate security buff, this probably isn't the device for you. I could probably pull my penis out if I tried hard but I don't think I could get it back in without removing the device. The CB-2000 would still be locked to my body because I can't get my balls out between the gap. Indeed, pull out with the CB-2000 is more secure than my Tollyboy knockoff since I can pull out of it, masturbate (with my penis sticking out to one side) and reinsert without detection using the Norbert stocking trick. In theory, the lock could be cut or the A-ring itself could be cut, but realistically, I doubt you would be considering it if this was a real concern. I don't think I would be willing to try to break the cage with my penis still in it but the use of a polymer does mean that cutting can be done with less than a blow torch. While the ultimate in security it is not my most beautiful goddess Mistress would know immediately if I was a bad boy. I primarily need a reminder to be good while we play chastity/power exchange/bdsm games. She usually lets me take the cage part off when I go to work, especially if I have a customer visiting. We leave the A-ring on and I put the cage on as soon as I get home from the office. I have not worn it while traveling on a business trip yet and I resist wearing it to the office. At this point, my main problem with wearing it to work is that I feel that it is too obvious through most of the dress pants I currently wear. We plan on going shopping soon to look for slacks that do a better job of hiding the bulge of the CB-2000. Besides the bulge, I can see the bars and whatever is being used to lock it (padlock or plastic lock) through one pair of dress pants. Jeans are no problem, especially loose cut jeans. It would be obvious through sweats. Once the dress pants problem is solved I expect to be wearing it more. I did wear it back from a trip that we both went on that combined a business trip with a week of vacation. My most beautiful goddess Mistress had to come home several days before I did because of professional obligations. Fortunately, the conference was very relaxed and very casual clothing was encouraged so there were no problems wearing the CB-2000 at the conference and home (with a plastic lock). There are some security fixes that have been suggested for the pullout problem. One involves flipping one of the extra A-rings over and using it to reduce the space available for pulling out. I tried this, but found the hole for the locking shaft to cause problems. I have not had access to the keys long enough to try again and may plug the hole in the smallest A-ring and try again. It is possible to either leave the extra security ring whole, to have a grab handle, or cut it flush with the top of the A-ring that best fits. It is important to wear the smallest A-ring and use the smallest spacers you can stand to wear. Don't wear an A-ring so small that it cuts off circulation and you should have access to the key for a week or so while you learn what works and what doesn't. I'm not so sure I would want to add the maker's "rings of intrigue" unless I was intrigued by painful erection attempts. One problem that has been reported is that the skin of the ball sack feels like it is being pinched or burning. I believe this is because the body is trying to regulate the temperature of the balls and is attempting to pull them closer by contracting the scrotal skin. My solution to this problem is to apply talcum powder on the bottom of the A-ring (making sure it gets underneath the A-ring) twice a day. I have also used lotion, which works better but for a shorter period of time precluding using this method for a day out of the house. I also pull my balls up reasonably tight (not so tight it hurts!) to the gap between the rings. Occasionally I need to adjust to relieve a bit of discomfort, but this is not a real problem and is much better for me than a belt type chastity device. I have also experienced the same problem with my birdcage so I suspect that this is typical of a trapped balls chastity device. One last minor problem to report. My most beautiful goddess Mistress locked a chain dog leash to the end of the CB-2000 for a couple of days. I had to put the leash in my pocket when we went out, unless she was holding on to it (like in the movie theater!). The lock she used to secure it (similar in size to the one that is locking it on me) could pinch and scrape my scrotum if I was not careful. It also made peeing without making a big mess a little more challenging, especially in public restrooms. She complained that *I* was taking too long in the bathroom. I found that sweat around the A-ring could cause chafing or a rash. I solved this problem by wearing a soft cotton cover I made. The best part of the cover is that was made by cutting the top off an old athletic sock and slipping that over the CB-2000. Since I had a plentiful supply of old athletic socks with holes in the toes, I have a plentiful supply of these cock cage covers. The most beautiful goddess Mistress likes me to wear one when we sleep so I don't scrape or chafe her skin when we cuddle. I have been happy with the one I have and so has the most beautiful goddess Mistress. I think she would say she has gotten her money out of it in the last two weeks alone. My most beautiful goddess Mistress ordered one for me (her?) on-line and we had it in less than a week. I suspect that they make many at once since this device is made using what appears to be an injection molding process and I am sure they want to take advantage of economies of scale. Bondisan
