Cock cages
What Is a Cock Cage?
A cock cage, otherwise known as a chastity cage or a penis cage, is a BDSM accessory designed to lock a man’s penis in a cage. Some models also provide an added layer of restraint and control by holding on to part of the testicles.
Its main role is to limit access to the penis, making certain practices difficult, or even impossible, such as:
- a full erection
- masturbation
- penetration
- direct access to the genitals
Penis cages are used in BDSM settings as a way to explore orgasm denial, erotic frustration and power dynamics between partners. They can be worn for a short amount of time, during a BDSM session, or on a regular basis as part of a long-term Dom/sub dynamic.
Are Cock Cages Just for Couples?
Penis cages are often associated with BDSM relationships and Dom/sub dynamics. In this context, the dominant partner makes their submissive wear the cage, thus controlling access to their penis, erections and orgasms.
Couple’s chastity play tends to include things like:
- orgasm control
- orgasm denial
- Dom/sub dynamics
- teasing and denial
- the dominant partner as the keyholder
In these types of relationships, the cage acts as physical proof of the power dynamic at hand. The submissive voluntarily gives up some of their sexual power, letting the keyholder take control.
However, this doesn’t mean that you can’t explore chastity play alone. Some people enjoy setting themselves a personal challenge with sexual abstinence, or are looking to explore the psychological sensations that come along with controlling one’s sexual urges.
Whether you’re using a chastity cage alone or with a partner, the goal remains the same: explore orgasm control, anticipation and erotic frustration.
What Material Should I Choose for My Cock Cage?
Your choice of material will have a direct impact on the comfort, weight, stiffness, looks and price of your cage. No one choice is better than another, it all depends on your experience level, how long you intend to wear it for and the sensations you want to procure.
Lightweight, supple penis cages are generally the best options for beginners, whilst the more rigid models tend to be a big hit with experienced users on the hunt for an added level of control.
Material | Advantages | Drawbacks | Recommended experience level |
Plastic/PVC | Lightweight, affordable, easy to clean, great if you’re just getting into chastity play | Less robust and durable than metal | Beginner |
Resin | Lightweight, modern look, more discreet under clothing, easy to clean | Depending on the model, can be more fragile than steel | Beginner to intermediate |
Silicone | Supple, comfortable, adapts to your body shape, can be sterilised | Less rigid, less restrictive | Beginner to intermediate |
Leather | Distinct BDSM aesthetic, comfortable against the skin, fetish inspired | More difficult to look after, less hygienic than metal or silicone | Intermediate |
Metal (stainless-steel) | Very solid, long-lasting, reinforces control | Heavier, generally more expensive | Intermediate to advanced |
Budget also plays a big part in the decision-making process. Plastic and PVC options are often the most affordable, whilst stainless-steel models and more intricate cages tend to come with a bigger price tag.
If this is your first time using a penis cage, plastic, resin and silicone options are the perfect compromise between comfort, ease of use and price.
How to Choose the Right Size Penis Cage
Cock cages come in numerous sizes so as to adapt to different body shapes. There’s everything from cages for those with a larger member, as well as compact options for those with a micro penis.
It’s crucial that you choose the right sized penis cage in order to ensure both the comfort and the effectiveness of the device. Too large a cage won’t hold the penis properly, whereas too small a cage can quickly become uncomfortable.
To get the right size:
- Measure the length of your penis whilst flaccid
- Compare this measurement with the dimensions indicated on the product page
- Check the recommended diameter and circumference
- Make sure the loop provided is well-adapted to your body
Aspect to check | Why is it important? |
Length of the cage | Ensures the penis is held securely in place without any excess space |
Internal diameter | Affects the comfort and fit of the penis inside the cage |
Loop size | Ensures a good fit without the device being overly restrictive |
Shape of the cage | Some cages are straighter, whilst others are shaped to follow the curve of the penis |
You should be aiming for a cage that is fitted enough to limit movement and stop you getting a full erection, but should still be comfortable when wearing over an extended period of time. If you are unsure which size to choose, it is generally best to refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations on the product page.
Can I Go for a Wee Whilst Wearing My Penis Cage?
In most cases, yes. The majority of chastity cages have a hole at the tip so you can urinate without having to remove it.
Depending on the model, weeing with a penis cage on may require a bit of practice. Don’t worry if, the first few times, you don’t quite manage to aim perfectly.
Some cages are equipped with urethral dilators to make urination easier. These models should be worn by experienced users, however, as they demand strict hygiene practices.
It’s important to always listen to your body, even in chastity play. Never hold back the urge to urinate, and remove the cage if any pain or discomfort arises.
How to Clean and Maintain Your Chastity Cage
When it comes to cock cages, proper upkeep is essential in guaranteeing hygiene and durability. We highly recommend cleaning your cage after every use.
For the majority of models, a simple clean in lukewarm water and a mild soap suffices. You can also use a specially formulated sex toy cleaner.
If your cage is made from a non-porous material such as metal or some silicones, you can also sterilise it. This is a particularly important step for any model that has internal components, such as a urethral dilator.
