Assistance Needed from a Fresh Member

Hi everyone, I’ve read through many of the new member threads but haven’t found the specific answers I’m looking for.

1. Before I started locking up, my sexual performance was fine—normal erections lasting 1 to 3 hours or more. There were no signs of erectile dysfunction before I put on a device.
2. As I entered chastity, my second piece of equipment is the CB6000 with its largest ring; it’s still quite tight and pushes my scrotum forward firmly. I tried all four pins but settled on the second-longest option. I’m not an ‘S’ type (shower); I’m a grower whose length ranges from 2 3/4 to just under 9 inches, though my girth is large. When flaccid, it’s barely possible to slide out of a nylon sock while entering the tube. My width at rest is about two inches. Even the slightest attempt at an erection causes significant pain, mostly because the tissue bulges out through the vent holes and doesn’t retract properly. The scrotum stays in a squeezed position rather than hanging down as seen in many photos.
3. During my first few times out after wearing it for less than 24 hours, I was quite sensitive and ejaculated early. That’s understandable enough. However, Key Holder (KH) was very disappointing, to the point where I almost stopped playing altogether. After a few more sessions, I’ve struggled with only achieving semi-erections and having trouble maintaining them even at that level. Last night, however, I managed to get fully erect, though it didn’t last long.
4. It seems like I leak small amounts of semen throughout the day, particularly when teased or stimulated by my KH in any way. Has anyone else experienced these problems? Any advice before my KH loses her patience? My KH is very happy with my renewed interest in her after 23 years; she’s just not pleased with me while I’m unlocked now.

From what little experience I have, CBs can be a real hassle when trying to get the fit right. They are so heavy that even once I found the 'correct' size, wearing them was tough because it felt like having this large cage plus gravity pulling down on my balls, which caused discomfort. CBs—especially the 6000 model—are not ideal for girth, so you might want to check out the CB-3000. I have experienced what you described with flesh pushing through the vent holes and the member tugging against both the ring and device, but it has never been that painful for me. From reading posts here on this forum and elsewhere, it doesn't appear that chastity devices are definite causes of impotence. Some crazy or poorly formatted posts claim obscure blogs where a device ruined their penis, others say there is some temporary softness that resolves after a few days, while still others have had no trouble at all. If you suffer from high blood pressure, diabetes, substance abuse issues, and other conditions leading to ED, those are more likely culprits than the device—particularly if you only wore it for short periods. Your less-than-ideal experience with your KH is probably also psychological in nature.
