This is my 2nd cage I've bought.  First one was similar to this, but a bit longer, and I didn't "bottom out" when I was soft, but when I grew into it, it hurt a little.  Someone suggested I get a smaller cage, which I did, and fit snuggly in it even when soft, so there's no growing pains.
I really like the weight of the metal cage as it pulls me down (a little constant reminder), but the brass lock came with sharp edges that cut into me when I slept, so I took a file to the sharp edges, and now that's solved.
Also, my first cage only had a small opening at the tip, so taking a ******** became quite an event to clean up.  This one has a big slot that I can easily line up and ******** through.
I like the looks, weight and openness of this metal cage, but I'm thinking about getting a lighter one in nylon.  Any suggestions?
I have a little trouble getting my balls through the ring, so was thinking about a split ring, but afraid of it pinching me.
Will I miss the weight of the metal cage?
My wife is slowly warming up to the idea of me wearing this "medieval" cage, so I wonder what she'll think of a modern black cage.
Also looking forward to a built-in lock however I might miss the little brass lock swinging and clinking when I walk.
Not looking for "long-term" wear, but trying to get past a week.  I'm game, but my wife is a tease, gets me out at night and edges me, then feels bad that I'm all worked up and instead of putting me back in my cage (as I secretly hope for) she climbs on and fucks me till I cum.  Then I have to start back from scratch.  So I don't know what all the euphoria is yet about orgasm denial for 21 days before release.  Someday I guess.
