Chastity and orgasm denial discussion

I wear a spiral steel cage (as shown in my avatar). My KH wife and I have penetrative intercourse roughly once or twice weekly. When she unlocks me during sex, my cock gets erect immediately, but the base ring stays put because it can’t be taken off while hard. This means I penetrate with the device on. Right after we finish, she locks it back up, so the base ring has remained in place for many months now. For those of you using metal cages: do you take yours off? If you do, how do you manage to remove it when your cock is still erect?
