I have taken your advice and sort of woven it into a somewhat "tailored" programme that suits to my temperament (and weaknesses!)
The first real hurdle is the psychological step that says this game of chastity will only work if I want it to. Yes, I do enjoy the thrill of the Chaster app with its "virtual" keyholding and tricky locks, but again, only because I want to be there.
I am being "kind" to myself and not over-reaching my limits too much, so when my body says "get out for a while", I do. The interesting thing is, that the more times I put the cage on, slowly but surely, the less inclined I am to want to take it off. This morning, in such a moment, without thinking, I put my HT v5 50mm/small tube combo on (I have recently been in 55mm/standard due to fitting issues), and have just realised how snug and comfortable that smaller size now feels. Persistence, practice and sensible goals indeed are showing good results. I am in a Chaster lock again now, but one with way more sensible parameters and an attainable end-goal (hidden timer, though!!

)
As an aside, as ultimately all this is about the joy of bondage and "self-captivity", I have now set myself a rule that I can only tie myself up if I'm caged. Last night I had three hours, with three different ties. A ruined orgasm was often moments away but never occurred. Eventually, tired but reluctantly, I put my ropes away and, massively aroused, glanced at my still locked on cage. "Still in selfbondage" I told myself and tried to catch a little sleep.....intoxicating!!

Our imaginations are liberated by that which ties us down.
