I got my CB-3000 a few years ago and have used it several times for a few hours here and there, even for an overnight or two.  When my Miss asked if I wanted to help out with a review I jumped at the opportunity.  Little did I know what I had gotten myself into. (Click here to get your own CB-3000!)

See, one of the positive attributes of the CB-3000 is that supposedly a person can wear one through airport security without detection, and I just happened to be gearing up for a trip.  After I leapt at helping out, my Miss told me that she would be handing my contact information to Mistress Minax for instruction. Mistress Minax informed me that she wished me to wear the device from three days before my flight through my day of arrival. 

A quick note about me.  I am paranoid.  The thought of getting caught wearing a chastity device by TSA just about makes me faint.  Luckily, my Miss has a way to calm my spirits in seconds, and her good friend Mistress Minax pointed out that it isn’t illegal to be a pervert yet, so I went ahead with the challenge.

The challenge was simple.  Lock myself up using the CB-3000 with a numbered plastic lock, send a picture to Mistress Minax and my Miss for verification, wear it for four days, through airport security, and be unlocked upon arriving at my final destination.  After verification that the lock had not been tampered with, of course!

I am writing this after having completed the task so I will start with the negative aspects of the device…mainly because I was extremely pleased with the device and want to leave you with the positive aspects!  Yes, I am willing to leave you biased toward the positive.

The negatives are more advice for you than any actual problems with the CB-3000.  First, shave.  I made the mistake of not shaving which was not so smart.  When I would try to get erect oftentimes my pubic hair would be pulled.  That isn’t a fetish of mine so next time I will be clean shaven.  Second, carry silicone lubricant and q-tips with you.  At random times I would find myself not lubed enough for my cock’s movement within the plastic chamber, which caused chafing.  Chafing isn’t fun…usually.  Also, not a negative aspect, but the cage takes some time to size correctly and get used to wearing.  It wasn’t painful to me, but I have previously sized mine.  The third and only device-related negative characteristic that I found is that the plastic chamber I have is cracking where the two halves are glued together.  My device is about 3 years old so I would say that I got my use from it, but I am saddened that I may not have it much longer.

Now on to the positives.  Once I was properly lubed it was quite comfortable to wear.  It was not visible under my clothes so I felt confident that it wouldn’t be detected visually.  I have been told that I am endowed nicely, but I found no problem wearing the device when it came to such issues.  The device worked properly when my cock tried to become erect.  It limited its growth and applied enough pressure to keep me from continuing to grow.  It caused a dull ache that often times would cause me to try to get erect again, thus increasing the ache and the mental frustration.  I usually have no problem clearing my mind of kinky lust-filled thoughts when I absolutely have to, but after a day and a half it became almost impossible!  The thought that I couldn’t get out was like fuel to the fire.  Another positive in my opinion is the look of the device.  Mine is clear plastic so a person can see just how trapped they are when they look down.  It has great curved lines and looks quite erotic.  The device also opens the door to easy humiliation and teasing.  My Miss had fun telling me just how trapped I was, and teasing me about having to sit when using the restroom.  I will confess, it is possible to stand and urinate while locked in the CB-3000, but if you think you can do it while using a urinal next to another person…I would advise against it.  How do I know?  That story would have to be beaten out of me.

I do have a story to share though.  Airport security.

I was as nervous as I have ever been the morning of my flight.  The night before I took off I realized that the ring on the CB-3000 actually has a single metal rivet which sent my mind spinning.  I was sure it was aluminum and probably wouldn’t set off any alarms, or at least I hoped it wouldn’t.  After a restless night of sexually frustrating dreams I woke up to a dilemma.  Which jeans should I wear?  I had a tight pair with a zipper that I had worn through airport security several times, and a loose pair that had riveted buttons that I had not.  I knew that the device would be visible at least part of the time in the tight jeans, but I didn’t know if my loose jeans would set off the alarm and cause a “pat down.”  I took a gamble on the riveted buttons and hoped I wouldn’t get caught.  I have never spent 15 minutes deciding on which jeans to wear!  When I finally got to the security gate I made sure every little scrap of metal was already off me and in the bins, the whole time thinking “oh crap, all of these extremely unhappy TSA agents know and they are just waiting to bust me!”  Yes, they were all grumpy on that particular morning.  I walked right through and the guy waving me on didn’t even hesitate.  I grabbed my stuff off the conveyor belt and just about RAN to my gate.  Although I was extremely worried at the time, I can now state with true evidence that the CB-3000 does not set off metal detectors at airport security.  I actually went into a bathroom stall and giggled quietly afterwards, which I think was due to the adrenaline rush that comes with getting away with such an activity.

Over-all, I highly recommend the CB-3000.  I have been pleased with my experience and cannot wait for my Miss to have me wear it again.  I have learned important tips and will definitely support the CB XXXX line of chastity devices in the future.  Maybe next time I will try the “Points of Intrigue” if I am feeling daring…or just masochistic.  Thank you Miss, and Mistress Minax, for the opportunity to review a great product!

Even before Mistress Eve Minax suggested it would please Her to keep me in chastity, I had been considering the PA-5000 as an alternative to the CB-3000 device I had worn on previous experiments. When she was given a PA-5000 as a gift in January, it couldn’t have been more opportune for both of Us/us to explore. (Click here to get your own PA-5000!)
 
I was hopeful the new device would eliminate some of the problems I experienced with the CB-3000, such as the ball crunching morning erections and the occasional, painfully unfortunate body twistings while going about the rest of the day’s tasks. The constant presence of the cock-ring was a nuisance.  Not that I mind cbt in the name of my Dominant, but as sustainable, less cumbersome and realistic chastity, the absence of unintentional ball-crushing held great promise for me.  Wearing the PA-5000 did indeed prove much less painful in these areas.
 
With the PA-5000 the accent was on the penis shaft.  Chastity was still maintained.  Masturbation was impossible because the circumference of the tube pressed so tightly against the shaft of the penis it caused the head of the cock to become engorged with blood.  As it did so, the head of the penis also became tighter around the PA ring.  The experience was uncomfortable, but for me, more manageable, effective and sustainable than with the CB-3000.  
 
I was also happy to succeed in ridding myself of chafing at the hinge of the cock-ring; as CB-3000 wearers know, the hinge can irritate the skin directly behind the scrotum over the long term.
 
I especially saw the PA-5000 as a way of having a high degree of hygiene.  This was a state I found hard to accomplish with the CB-3000 no matter how diligently I tried, or how clever I thought I was in testing various techniques for swabbing the decks.  The PA-5000 did not present the problem of squashing the cock in plastic. I anticipated it could be cleaned efficiently when necessary, thus eliminating any hygiene problem altogether.  In fact, I was able to keep the device clean as I went along during the day, and in the morning and evening washed more carefully in the shower.
 
The preparation to wear the device is a commitment.  I already have a Prince Albert piercing, so I didn’t have to begin from scratch.  However, I did have to stretch my piercing from 6 to 4 gauge to accommodate the rings provided with the device. This took several weeks.
 
I maintained the chastity about three weeks before any problems arose, and they were minor (so I thought).  On the underside of the piercing where the PA ring was locked into the device, I began to feel a burning sensation and discomfort.  With permission I unlocked the device and washed everything thoroughly.  Though that seemedto work, for whatever reason, the irritation that had begun that week began to repeat itself at more frequent intervals, with more intensity each time.  Eventually, after two months of these irritations, and twice discovering blood on the device, I asked permission to remove the device permanently.

I am not certain what caused the irritation that denied me sustainable chastity with the PA-5000.  I have narrowed it down to two possible causes:

I have learned that the tissue between the underside of the piercing and the tip of the penis is easily torn.  The first and most likely reason for the irritation is that the PA jewelry that locks the cock in place caused tearing of the tissue as it was moved through erections, various states of flaccidity and various intensities of every day movements.

The second possibility is that I might have had an allergic reaction to the particular type of plastic used in the PA Ring that came with the device, much like one might react to certain types of metal as opposed to others.  

In conclusion, I have to say that I really liked the theory of the PA-5000, and except for the one problem which caused its failure for me, the device came closer to being what I am searching for - sustainable, realistic chastity with manageable hygiene, not to mention something that looks and feels hot.
 
 

I’ve been intrigued by the idea of chastity for a long time, so when my Mistress (Carnal Nation's own Eve Minax) demanded that I assist her by reviewing the CB-6000, I certainly could not refuse. (Click here to get your own CB-6000!) I had to admit that I was the perfect test subject. I was curious and eager, but had no prior experience with chastity devices. So with just a hint of trepidation, I agreed to lock myself into the CB-6000 for a week of full-time testing. A week couldn't be that bad, right? It helped that the CB-6000 didn't look all that threatening, especially compared to some of the metal chastity devices on the market. If anything it seemed almost cute, but the sleek curves of its clear polycarbonate casing belied the intensity that was to come.

I found it relatively straightforward to apply the CB-6000, though there are quite a few pieces to sort out. An open ring (like a thick plastic cock ring, but open at the top) slips under your balls and around the root of your cock. Five sizes of rings are provided, so that you can achieve the desired tight-but-not-too-tight fit. A smaller segment with guide pins connects at the top, leaving you fully encircled by a plastic ring with two pins sticking out at the top. This is the base to which the cock cage attaches. Next, with the assistance of some silicone lube, you insert your cock into the cage, which mounts onto the pins at the top of the base ring. At this point your cock is completely enclosed, with your scrotum passing through the gap between the base ring and the cage, thus preventing removal. There are 4 different spacers to control the length of this gap, and each spacer has a corresponding locking pin, which passes through ring, spacer and then the top portion of the cage. A small lock slips through an opening on the protruding end of the locking pin, preventing the cage from being removed. A small padlock is included with the device (though it comes with but one key, so common sense dictates you will want to replace this!), as are several numbered, single-use plastic locks that must be cut off. These are used for air travel, or other situations where the metal lock is not acceptable. They do not provide security so much as accountability, as the individual numbering insures that they cannot be removed and then replaced. Additional packs of plastic locks can be purchased fairly cheaply.

All told, the device is easy enough to attach, once you get all the different pieces sorted out. If you are easily aroused by this sort of thing, you may have to wait for the excitement to die down a bit before you are able to fully insert yourself into the cage. The first time does require a bit of trial and error to find the appropriate size base ring and spacer, and achieve the right balance between comfort and security. Too tight and you may chafe a bit; too loose and the device will not fit as securely. You may find, as I did, that you need to adjust spacers or rings after a few days to get a better fit once you have settled into the device a bit.

The initial sensations of wearing the CB-6000 were unusual, to say the least. I found myself having to get used to an entirely different set of genitals. My penis was sensitized by its new surroundings, and my balls felt taut from the slight stretching. The whole package was pleasantly solid and substantial between my legs, and it felt very snug and cozy. I immediately wanted to touch myself, and the unavailability of my cock was powerfully provocative. I had to settle for touching the device itself, now imbued with its own erotic charge of frustration. Little did I know the extent to which this was just the beginning of my weeklong preoccupation with my imprisoned genitals!

The CB-6000 necessitated a number of minor adjustments to my daily routines. Walking, sitting, crossing my legs and climbing stairs were approached with an initial caution as I adjusted to the handling of my new, firmer, bulkier package. Peeing was a strictly sit-down affair, requiring a bit of blotting afterwards. My showers took a bit longer than usual, as I had to clean inside the device with q-tips, and then reapply a bit of silicon lube afterwards. I would occasionally need to make little adjustments throughout the day if it was twisting or pulling uncomfortably, and like a chaste little boy scout I took to traveling with a little baggie of q-tips and lube so that I would be prepared should any reapplication prove necessary. None of these new adjustments were too surprising. A certain amount of maintenance is par for the course with a chastity device, and conventional wisdom seems to be that it takes the body a week or two to adapt to a new device. These little accommodations were minor enough, and I didn't mind them. It felt like I was pampering my new baby: this strange offspring of my loins and their new shell. On that note, you will want to keep your genitals shaved smooth like a baby's butt, unless you are that rare breed that enjoys pinching and pulling of crotch hair.  If you are in one of these devices for a long stretch, you should plan on a weekly or twice-weekly removal to re-shave and thoroughly clean the device. No one wants their junk imprisoned in a hair-filled bacteria-ridden Petri cage.

As I mentioned, I did need to adjust the device after a few days. Glutton for punishment that I am, I had selected a base ring that was too tight, which eventually resulted in some accumulated chafing. Moving up to the next size ring alleviated the problem. For reasons like this, it is not recommended that you lock yourself into a new device and then mail off the keys or make them otherwise unavailable to yourself! Give yourself a training period to make sure the device fits well. Better yet, before you do anything, spend a bit of time to make sure you are purchasing the best device for your personal anatomy and needs. In a market where custom metal chastity devices can run thousands of dollars, and even off the shelf metal devices come with a steep price of entry, the CB-XXXX line of products is definitely entry-level, but respectably so. They are, without a doubt, the most popular "first device" for those looking to explore chastity play, since their relatively cheap price provides a low barrier for experimentation, and since they can accommodate more variations in anatomy than most metal devices. Given that, I don't hesitate to recommend them to those looking to buy their first device. Additionally, there are multiple CB-XXXX models to choose from.

The CB-6000 is the current flagship of the CB-XXXX line. It's evolved from the similar CB-3000, and features an improved ventilation hole design that reduces issues of bulging flesh, a redesigned base ring (solving problems of irritation with the old hinged ring) and a reconfigured "head" shape. The original CB-2000 is still for sale, and is preferred by some for its shorter, easier to clean, open-bar cage. On the other end of the CB-XXXX spectrum, the “Curve" is meant to accommodate those with greater endowment. There is also a new CB-6000s, which offers a shorter cage with the same design, and the CB-6000 designer series, for those who want an opaque chastity device with metallic, camouflage or faux wood-grain detailing. Personally I like the visual appeal of my poor trapped cock through the transparent plastic. And for my 6 inches (cut) the CB-6000 seemed just right.

One feature that the older CB-XXXX models have (which the CB-6000 does not) is the ability to purchase the "Points of Intrigue" add-on: a ring of plastic teeth that mounts to the base of the device. This is meant to prevent men from extricating their penises from the cage — a feat that can be accomplished by a small percentage of men when completely flaccid and sufficiently lubricated. It seems that for true chastity aficionados, the mere possibility of "pull-out" is an affront to be combated. If you are one of those men capable of pulling out of the CB-6000, you can try the KSD-G3 accessory sold by KeptForHer.com to solve this problem, get a Prince Albert piercing and rig a solution that way, or consider another device. Or just don't break the rules the device is meant to enforce, you naughty boy!

As my week in the CB-6000 progressed, I went through a dizzying array of reactions and sensations. For the most part I found the device surprisingly comfortable to wear 24/7, with the notable exception of morning erections. I awoke every morning to the severe discomfort of an erection fiercely straining against the confines of the cage. The erections, for want of space, would thrust the cage far out from my body, stretching my balls as far as they could be stretched. While not unbearably painful, this was a decidedly unpleasant way to start the day, and should be ranked as one of the biggest inconveniences to which the chastised must adapt. During the day, my cock was entirely more reasonable about the constraints to which it was subjected. In moments of extreme arousal or unbearable teasing it might approach the same level of revolt and discomfort, but seemed to know it could only exert itself so far. Most of the time it was either at rest — calmly accepting its fate and enjoying the warm embrace of the CB-6000 — or at half-mast if I was aroused, straining delightfully but not unreasonably against the cage. I became so accustomed to the device that I could almost forget that I was in chastity when I wasn’t aroused, except for the weight and bulk of my package.
 
As the days went by, I grew quite fond of the CB-6000, aside from the times when I was busy cursing it. My cock felt like it was enclosed in a warm hug, or wrapped up in a security blanket. The total unavailability of my cock became increasingly arousing, and I developed an almost maddening preoccupation with the device. At times I thought of it constantly, and the more I thought of it the more aroused I became. My cock would be straining with its stifled erection, which would lead to more preoccupation and arousal as this feedback loop of futility repeated itself. I found myself surreptitiously touching the device throughout the day, and started worrying that it looked like I was walking around and constantly playing with myself. Whenever possible I wanted to look at the device, and behold its infernal beauty. I felt compelled to talk about it constantly, and wore out my Mistress's patience with my jabbering.  If I was out in public, I got a secret thrill from my imprisonment, and wondered how many other men around me were similarly locked up.
 
It was delightful, yet excruciating. I could never decide if I loved it or hated it. At times I felt pouty; forget about cumming, I just wanted to be able to have an unimpeded erection! If I was sitting, I wanted to grind in my chair and make little humping motions so I could enjoy those frustrated strainings which were my sole form of penile stimulation. It was like I was trying to fuck the device itself, but alas, it made for a frigid partner. By the fourth day of my confinement, I felt the delightful beginnings of a dull ache suffusing my genitals — like “blue balls,” but more evenly spread throughout my groin. It was lovely, and perhaps I was mildly delusional at that point, but I wanted to be in chastity indefinitely, so the warm ache would grow 100 times stronger. All these different moods and reactions would come in waves, so that an hour later I was no longer on edge, or was instead ready to tear the device off with frustration.
 
My week of wearing the CB-6000 surprised me with the intensity of the chastity "headspace." It was definitely more psychologically and sexually powerful than I expected, and I would recommend it to the curious for that alone. And one needn't be a chastity devotee to enjoy one of these devices. The possibilities for sexual teasing and denial are intense enough that short term wear is more than sufficient for some naughty fun. Stick your man in one of these for a day, and he will have a whole new attitude when the evening rolls around. Keep him locked up for a week, and discover how much erotic power has accrued to you who holds the keys. And for the men, discover what a sweet, intense submission it is to give up access to such a precious part of your sexuality.
 
 If you're curious and still have questions, I would recommend one of the online chastity forums like Chastity Mansion, or the Chastity Library at Tickleberry. Feel free to ask questions in the comments as well. I must admit that after my week of testing the CB-6000 I'm left with a few questions of my own... Can I take this off now, Mistress? Do I want to?
