Introductions discussion

My wife and I had a serious discussion last night regarding our new chastity lifestyle. We decided to stop the full-time commitment after taking a break, turning it into an occasional practice instead. This decision was driven by negative impacts like worsening my insomnia and depression—conditions that were previously stable during shorter chastity periods—as well as some skin irritation caused by the ring rubbing against my thighs and scrotum.

Another issue is that we both felt like we were performing roles: her as the dominant partner and me as the submissive one. After 45 years of living opposite to these dynamics, it was difficult for us to take each other’s new positions seriously. Although she teases me about my penis size, I actually appreciate how well she handles oral sex with it since she is a petite woman with a small mouth, even though we no longer have intercourse. She tried feminizing me to enhance submission, but wearing panties and makeup just made me feel foolish; it didn’t really help her either because she rarely wears makeup herself (I might actually know more about applying it than she does).

There is also the matter of starting diuretics this week, which means I will urinate even more frequently than elderly men do. It is already a chore to keep my CB6000s clean enough so they don’t smell, and now I face double that effort. My wife’s long-standing medical issue has returned as well, requiring her attention, and we feel it is time to return to our normal lives because chastity feels too distracting right now.

We might come back later since my wife did enjoy teasing me week after week when she didn’t have to worry about messed-up sheets. However, after 11 months of this lifestyle, I need more frequent orgasms due to the stress of managing three projects simultaneously and dealing with some health issues on my own.

I might pop in occasionally, but for now, we are going back to a regular sex life with just enough kinkiness to keep things interesting without it crossing into our daily lives.:) I really like the people here; this is the only forum where I felt truly comfortable. I know I said goodbye before, but we wanted to give it one more shot first.
