Unboxing the Custom Chastity Saint Permanent Chastity Device (with Other New Features)

It came... and I didn't.

I tracked the parcel as it inched its way through Auspost, get stuck at Melbourne airport, leap across the globe, land in Blighty, get caught in the Xmas shutdown, and finally Royal Mail its way to my door.

(If you've just tuned in, read about the permanent chastity device design and its devious logic here.)

Packaging as always was discrete. Nothing salacious on the exterior, and Lady Fox was hiding demurely as "L Fox."

There's a locked dick picture

of this post.

This permanent chastity device was made by Custom Chastity.  It's not in their catalogue yet, but I am sure if you email them Lady Fox will... accommodate you. She sent to me free to try out (somewhere between a review copy and a publicly visible alpha test - the only expectation is that I should blog about my experience of it) so it didn't come with the usual information sheet and enclosures. I did get a nice Christmas card, though.

The innocent looking device and seals were in a little ziplock bag, all down in raw white so I could do the dyeing myself.  It looked for all the world like one of those model kits I used to assemble when I was a kid... the Airfix  Kit From Hell!

 

In addition to the mechanically permanent closure system, there are a couple of new features.

First, the tube fits much further into the base ring and has a Rear Hood, like a vestigial version of the one on the Holy Trainer:


 

Here - post dyeing - is the rear view of my new Saint next to my original one:

You'll also see it has a New Style Base Ring, that's (a) wider, (b) corrugated, and (c) oval.

"Permanent" chastity is like a Mars mission; you really don't want to commit with untried technology, but that's what I was about to do - I could only put my trust in the skills of Lady Fox.

The texture is eggshell like all Custom Chastity devices. I quite like it because it stops the surface sticking to my skin. The material is surgical nylon. As I understand, the process involves 3D printing the mould, and then pouring the nylon, so this stuff isn't porus like cheap 3D prints.

The dyeing process was simple. I got hold of a bottle of Rit DyeMore Synthetic and followed the instructions, including putting in some detergent. Once it was done it went through the dishwasher.

(Follow the Instructions)

It was the first time I'd dyed a raw white device, and half an hour of simmering took it to a lovely colour that tones with my skin. (Xena prefers something unobtrusive, and the colour has advantages should anybody catch a glimpse.)

Here's both devices together:

The snap-in rivets/buttons are tough, and made of the same material as the device. When twisted off, the sprue left a small ridge either side of the plug part. I took that down easily enough with a craft knife.


I don't know whether the sprue would have spoiled the fit, but I wasn't going to take any chances!

Talking of which, you'll see that each plug has a little indentation on the top, similar to the Cherrykeeper Permalocker:

Plugs showing indentations. (Droplets are water, not imperfections)

The indentation is there to give a drill bit purchase for when escape is necessary, and also to ensure you are drilling down the centre.

Escaping is going to be a fuss. Surgical nylon grudgingly drills and grinds. Getting out without damaging the device or my manparts will take time to set up, and I'll have to go carefully. It's not something that can happen spontaneously, and certainly not at night or in the throws of passion.

So here's the Doomsday rivet:


The Doomsday Rivet

Getting into the device was harder than normal. The rear hood made for a tighter fit further back, and added to the friction, while the wider base ring was harder to get my testicles through.

I actually managed to "lose" a ball into its body cavity, so it's a good job I did a count before snapping the seal into place.  

A few minutes fiddling and I had everything in place.

The seal snapped into place with a satisfying click! The button countersunk nicely, so there's no way to get a knife in to try to prise the thing out.

Here, behind the cut, is the seal installed:

Bluetooth Chastity Debacle! Is this Male Chastity's 50 Shades of Visibility Moment?

 

It's official, we made it to the BBC!

Qiui's Cellmate Chastity Cage is sold online for about $190 (£145) and is marketed as a way for owners to give a partner control over access to their body.

Pen Test Partners believe about 40,000 devices have been sold based on the number of IDs that have been granted by its Guangdong-based creator.

The cage wirelessly connects to a smartphone via a Bluetooth signal, which is used to trigger the device's lock-and-clamp mechanism.

But to achieve this, the software relies on sending commands to a computer server used by the manufacturer.

Not to mention The Sun and Techcrunch!

(By "we" I mean our chastity fetish; the real heroes are Pen Test Partners.)

Suddenly an awful lot of people are being made aware of this fetish. The effect will be... interesting.

Male chastity is an odd fetish that literally comes from nowhere. It's not like boots or stockings or cross-dressing - you can't point to an early sexual experience or fantasy and blame it on that. 

Cellmate user map

It's more like an evolutionary trap, something that pushes certain adaptive buttons in some people.

And what people? Take a look at this small sample of Cellmate users on a map from Pen Test Partners:

Rather more Chinese users than you'd expect, eh?

Also, the estimate of 40K users is illuminating.

Glancing at the map, that gives us about 12K users in the USA.

As of 10 years ago, the US had 60,000K men fit for military age.

That gives us 0.02% of American men own a Cellmate.

So what proportion of the entire chastity device market is the Cellmate? I think no more than 5%. 

If so, assuming the US is representative, that gives us roughly 0.5% of Western men have chastity device. 

1 in 200.

That's pretty stunning.

Is this going to be like when 50 Shades of Grey appeared? Back then, the BDSM clubs were suddenly inundated with novices, and kink entered the discourse. I wonder if chastity device makers are in for a sudden bonanza? 

UPDATE My friend Tall Chaste Guy used order serial numbers between two devices to guesstimate that Steelworxx sell 2K a year, which he thinks rather high for a "one man shop", but I think is doable in batches.
