Chastity and orgasm denial discussion

I’m wearing a CB2000 for the long haul (having already exceeded three months without an orgasm twice). Over time, I notice myself spending more and more hours watching online porn and engaging in various activities that provide some genital pleasure—just not enough to count as an orgasm—without my keyholder knowing. It turns into a sort of compulsion, like an “irresistible urge” that falls short of having her monitor me every single hour (which is obviously impractical).

I want to use the Points of Intrigue to stop these cheating time-wasters because my goal in chastity is to enjoy zero sexual genital pleasure outside of my partner. However, I’ve discovered that wearing the POI for more than 48 hours leads to broken skin, and I’m hesitant to let this continue given the somewhat unhygienic environment inside the cage.

I tried filing down the sharpest edges on the most severe set, but I still get cut. The mildest set doesn’t bother me at all, so they aren’t useful for my goal. The middle intensity ones do cause broken skin.

Am I being a bit of a wimp here? Could I really handle this with careful sanitation while locked (hoping not to have to take the cage off more than once a week)?

I’m eager to hear suggestions or shared experiences, and equally interested in any horror stories resulting from efforts similar to mine.

Thanks ahead of time! Extra info: I have solid experience with CBXXXX wearers (though not specifically POIs), having used the Curve intermittently between 2002 and 2008. Since June this year, I’ve been using the CB2K and occasionally a POI.
