Cock Cage

Cock cages are devices to prevent full erection by locking the penis at a downward angle when it’s not hard. 

The body of the cock cage is divided into two parts. A ring, similar to a cock ring, encloses around the shaft of the penis. A tube-like structure holds the penis itself. The two parts connect together with a hinge or a pin. 

Some cages are designed so the wearer can have it on all day if needed. Others are more for sexual purposes.

All cages have a small opening at the tip to allow you to pee while wearing the cage. Meanwhile, some cages are a mix of spiraling structures so you can shower and clean the cage while wearing it like the Master Series Captus.

Types of Cock Cages

The material itself plays a huge role in the design of the cage. 

Silicone Cock Cages:

• Silicone cock cages are for beginners to experiment by themselves first. You should start with the Calexotics Viceroy to get a taste of the device. 
• The stretchy material doesn’t require strict measurement and doesn’t have a locking mechanism so you don’t need a key holder. 

Plastic Cock Cages:

• Plastic cock cages are for intermediate users who have a partner they can trust to be the keyholder. 
• These are lightweight and don’t have to be super-fitted. Devices like the CB-X Mini-Me are more for short-term use. 

Metal/ Steel Cock Cages:

• Metal or steel cages have to be fitted to your body. It’s for long-term users and some wear metal cages for months. 
• You can clean the male chastity device without removing it, especially the ones designed like the Pipedream Products Metal Worx. 

There are some outliers in design like the Strict Netted Male Chastity Jock and the vibrating cock cage such as DeeVa Doctor Love's Zinger. These are best suited for experienced BDSM practitioners with keyholders who know what they’re doing.

Who Uses Cock Cages?

Cock cages are popular among queer and heterosexual men. The people who wear the chastity device:

• Want to practice self-control and increase the time they last during sex
• Prefer a distraction-free, clear head while they go about their daily activities
• Enjoy a particular power dynamic where they’re under the control of their partner’s whims.

Why Use a Cock Cage?

A cock cage can turn you into a particularly attentive lover. Because the device prevents you from touching your penis in any way, it allows you to focus on pleasing your partner.

Similarly, what the device represents itself can be orgasm-inducing for some. There’s a particular power dynamic to it. 

The cock cage wearer puts themselves in a position of submission. Your keyholder determines how long you’ll wear the device, when you’ll clean it, when you’ll orgasm, and so on. 

It’s a lot of responsibility and trust to put on another person. It’s not a casual kink by any means and you’ll need a capable BDSM partner.

How to Choose the Right Cock Cage

Choosing a cock cage requires you to measure for four things:

• Measure for the base ring by wrapping a string or code around the base and testicles. The length of the string up to where it meets is the circumference. 
• Measure from the base of your penis to the tip with a flat ruler to get the length of the tube. 
• For the internal diameter of the cage, wrap the string around the thickest part of your penis to get the measurement. 
• The distance between the tube and the ring is known as the gap. If your testicles are higher up in your body, go for a cage with a wider gap. If the testicle hangs lower, go for one with a smaller gap. 

When taking measurements, make sure your penis is flaccid so the fitting is exact. Take several measurements to get the right size. 

As for the material and design, if you are an experienced user, go for a metal or steel cock cage. But for your first time, a silicone cage is your best bet to safely experiment with. Go for the Oxballs Airlock as it accommodates the girth. 

Once you’re confident you like wearing chastity cages, the CB-X Mr. Stubb is a total fan favorite to try.

Safety and Comfort While Wearing a Cock Cage

You’re unlikely to sustain any injury if you get a fitted cock cage. With a fitted cage, there is enough pressure to prevent an erection, but not enough to strangle your penis. 

Even more than the tube, you want to get the ring size right. A tight ring is capable of cutting off your blood circulation. 

The material is another thing to consider. People are unlikely to have allergies to metal or steel cock cages. But silicone or plastic can cause allergic reactions. 

During your first tests with the cock cage, do a regular check for bruising, swelling, chafing, or redness. Remove the cage immediately if you see any discoloring. 

Doctors also consider erections and orgasms as healthy for the body to function. So, even if you are a long-term user, it’s a good idea to remove the cage from time to time.

Cleaning and Maintenance of a Chastity Cage

Your chastity device should be cleaned daily if you’re a long-term wearer. The device should also get a weekly thorough cleaning. 

Otherwise, you will let dust, sweat, pre-cum, and urine build up inside the cage. It won’t take long for it to develop into rashes and infections in your penis. 

For weekly cleaning, take apart the cage before washing it. Use an antibacterial soap with warm water or a toy cleaner to wash each section. A toothbrush should help you wipe particularly hard-to-reach areas. 

You can also dip the parts in soap-filled water before giving them a good wash under the tap.

Use a microfiber cloth to fully dry it before reassembling it. 

For daily cleaning, lather soap over the device while wearing it. Then, use a handheld shower to wash it off.
