Chastity and orgasm denial discussion

Is anyone else feeling that being “out of the cage” more than needed isn’t really what I want? When I’m locked, I feel happy and fulfilled, with various levels of horniness. Playing this game with my KG/fiancé gives me a real thrill. But when I take it off, I get an empty feeling; my sex drive drops, and generally, I become less efficient. Does anyone else share this experience? Could it be that the hormones like endorphins, dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin are involved? Dopamine especially drives addiction… Are we right to worry about that? I’d definitely call it addictive… Should I worry? As long as no issues arise, I’m more than happy with it.
