Initial Moves and Unexpected Findings

I bet some people will find my modest experiment amusing, but as I weigh whether this lifestyle suits me and if I should mention it to my wife, I’m trying to determine its viability. For the last few evenings, I’ve slept with a snug steel cock ring that stays put regardless of arousal level. It seems like the sensation from both the cage base ring and the cock ring might be comparable for everyday use.

I have to admit, the morning testosterone surge shows up quickly; each night I tested this routine, the outcome was consistent. Sometime past 5 am, a distinct tightness beneath my scrotum signals that a morning erection is underway—a feeling more acute than usual. It isn’t quite painful, but it’s persistent and intense enough to rouse me from sleep. What used to be a minor daily chemical occurrence has become a major event, keeping the ring in place until things subside. This differs from using the ring during sex, where I typically wait for the hormonal peak to pass.

I envision adding a cage into this mix and suspect it might feel simply agonizing, making waking up quite unpleasant. Perhaps that is precisely the point; maybe I’m just not grasping it yet.

I assume the cock’s reduced ability to “fully inflate” keeps tension on the base ring lower, but I have to wonder: is this experience truly as harsh as I currently picture it?
