Hello folks,
I joined this site, nervously, just a few days ago and have had my prejudices delightfully dismantled. Nobody’s lectured me, or indulged in ‘mansplaining’ or been rude or overbearing. I’ve had such lovely, positive gentle advice. So, with another deep breath I thought I’d keep a little diary of my journey with my partner. I can’t bring myself to call him ‘Pet’, so I’m going to call him ‘my Pete’, which isn’t his real name. He’s in a responsible job, and people can be very judgemental.
Here goes.
My initial post is here
To recap. We’re in our mid-forties. I work in TV, Pete is an engineer. We got a rather ill-fitting cage as a sex-toy in winter last year and then a couple of months later bought him a Cherry Keeper. We have enjoyed switching in the past, but since starting to play with the cage, I’ve generally been a bit more dominant (but not a domme!) more of the time. Until recently, the maximum time he’d ever spent in the cage in one go was for just an hour or two of enjoyable tease and denial. I’d always unlocked him on request, such as to pee. I know this is about as vanilla as you can get on this site!
Recently, we decided he’d wear the cage out and we went to a restaurant and had a lovely flirty time. When he needed to go to the loo he asked me for the key (around my neck) and without having planned it, I surprised myself and him, by saying no. I thought I’d find it just an intriguing power-kick but to my surprise it was massively arousing for me. He seemed to be rather subdued and said he needed to process.
We went back to playing as usual with our normal 'vanilla' life.
About 10 days ago, we went out with friends for beers. I didn’t exactly persuade him or ask him, but I did quietly suggest the cage. I think I said I'd find it fun. He agreed. More trips to the loo, and key withheld again. On the way home he mentioned he’d found it embarrassing and exciting (bingo!) but we didn’t discuss it more than that. It made me feel excited again. Back at home, with my heart going pitter patter, I suggested not taking the cage off there and then but leaving it until the morning, which we did. We just cuddled, which was nice, and had a lovely time the next morning when I took the cage off. He was very sensitive though and had to take things rather slowly, which I have to say was already a bonus for me, as I much prefer that.
Those experiences made me realise that I have an awful lot to learn about chastity, about what would be nice for us both, and about myself and what I’d honestly enjoy. And of course, what he’d enjoy if he knew I was enjoying it… I think I want to progress this side of our relationship but I’m very unsure how and when and I have a much clearer idea about what I don't want than what I do want.
‘Pete’ is away for a week with his parents, so I’ve done two things. First, I joined this site. I’m not ready to talk everything through with him because I don’t want to kill what might be possible by being hopelessly lacking in knowledge and confidence. I have a friend who used to be a domme and we’ve skirted round the subject a bit but I really wanted to talk to some men! And second, I sent him a postcard (remember those?) that had lots of trigger words (cage, locked, keeper etc) in it, but in a completely innocuous context. But I know he’ll see them and he’ll be thinking about them.
I’ve been so happy to have already received advice and prompts here from so many willing tutors. What a wonderful forum, Thank you!! I’m posting this now and am just composing a second message about what I think I’ve learned so far.
