Advice for your younger self regarding denial?

Many of us here lean toward being “mature,” and we’ve found that staying locked enriches our relationships in new ways. If you could go back to when you were twenty-something, what advice would you give your younger self? And how do you think your younger self would react to it? I remember my first encounter with chastity devices; I immediately thought, “Absolutely not! Why would I sacrifice sex and orgasms?” It’s hard for me to imagine explaining the dynamic between Mrs Edge and me to that older version of myself.:lol:
