Chastity and Gym... - CuckoldPlace.com

I have been going to the gym in chastity for many years, and although I am now more open and extreme in my lifestyle than you, I remember well before I was so maybe I can offer some useful advice.

You seem to me to have two areas of concern: (1) physical complications of working out with a chastity device, (2) maintaining privacy in the gym environment.

(1) Concerning the first area, it seems to me that it all depends on your workout regimen. I generally use an elliptical trainer or a bike for aerobics and I’ve never had a problem with my cb-2000. You shouldn’t have problems of things “slapping” around if you wear briefs or a jock strap. (Actually, I don’t recommend boxers for those in chastity generally. Briefs are better at keeping the “package” of the cage and cock from knocking about much.) If you use one of those bikes where you are high and the seat and twisted over to the handles, (as they do in bike classes at gyms) it will be less comfortable than one where you sit back more. (Especially because the classes usually involve standing off the seat for periods and then slapping hard back down.) If your favored machine pushes you right on the cage and you don’t want to try a different model, maybe you could try a hard cup? (I haven’t tried that myself; it is just a thought.)

The bigger problem I’ve found are floor exercises which require you to lie face-down. These can be uncomfortable and, while there is no danger in doing the exercise with the cage, it may prevent you from tucking the tummy and rotating the pelvis into the form you should have to get the benefit of the exercise. It is minor problem that can be addressed by finding a different exercise to address the muscle group you want to work or stretch.

The other comfort issue is sweat. It isn’t really a problem per se, but any time you wear the chastity for extended periods you need to be concerned about cleanliness and rashes. Working out will not really add to you troubles if you are regularly and well cleaning yourself. (That is a key reamister I wear the cb2000, actually. The open cage design makes it easier to make sure I get soap and water and a good scrubbing all over.) Aloe Vera helps with any rash. (I also find that shaving the pubic area reduces the chance that the hairs will get caught in the device and pull – something that will irritate its sensitive skin. However, I know other people who found that their skin gets very itchy as their hair grows back, so you’ll need to experiment for yourself, I think.)

(2) Concealment. I think these issues are bound up in where you live and what kind of gym you are attending. Contrary to porno conceits, grown men, as a general rule, make an effort to avoid looking at each other’s crotches in the locker-room. There may occasionally be someone who is taking a surreptitious peek, but then they generally don’t want to draw attention to the fact that they were looking by drawing attention to what they saw.

Even if you are seen, human nature is such that most people will simply pretend NOT to have seen or notice anything. They may not feel the sudden urge to get to know you, but then acting on such urges is generally frowned upon in the locker-room to begin with. They don’t talk to you and that suits you fine.

Two caveats here: I live in NYC and the gym I go to has no youngren at it. I travel a lot and have changed (in chastity) in gyms all over the US, and the principles apply everywhere, but if you are in a small community where you will routinely run into people you know socially and professionally, it will be small comfort if they choose not to say anything to you at the time when they are going to be whispering about it later. If your gym is a family focused kind (like the Y, for instance) the fact is that kids do look and often will speak and you will be lucky if all that happens is the management asks you to leave. When I’ve accompanied my (ex)wife and some of her lovers to the Y (which has lots of kids programs), we made a point of going cage less. (If you must go to such a gym, try to go during school hours or very early or late, when kids are not about.)

Now, let’s get to cases: how not to draw attention. As I say, you have the advantage of averted eyes. You can supplement that with some strategies.

- Take a locker against the wall, towards an unoccupied corner, or away from the mirror rather than the center of the room or the heavily trafficked areas.
- Keep you back to the room when you change you pants, with the cage pointed towards the lockers.
- Always leave your shirt on while you change underwear. The shirt will generally hang down below your package. This is especially true for if you wear button down shirts for street clothes. For working out, use slightly oversized loose Ts rather then tight form-fitting ones.
- Wear regular full-cut men’s workout shorts (like Champion and such brands sell) and your package won’t show through. Some of the newer fashion-conscious brands (like American Apparel) deliberately cut their shorts with no space in the crotch so that the cock and balls will be prominently visible when you wear them. (As it happens, this style, while useful for gay cruising, is not very comfortable for serious workouts anyway.)
- As I said before, no boxers. Briefs, jock-straps, or soft-cups will hold things close and prevent any clicking noise from locks rattling or any crotch views while doing awkward exercises.
- If the above isn’t enough and you shower at home, consider leaving on the briefs or jockstrap the whole time and changing at home. (You can even put another pair over them if you want.) You could also slip into the bathroom stall to change them.
- If you shower at the gym, consider stripping the briefs and putting on the fresh pair in the shower stall behind the door or curtain. (Most gyms have these now rather than the high-school style gang showers beloved in ’80s porno.)

If none of this helps, you need to consider your schedule. When do you go to the gym and where do you go after? Sometimes (back when I was discrete) when I was working out with a trainer at the gym and afraid he couldn’t help but notice the cage, my wife would remove it before I left the house and put it on as soon as I got home. I was able to maintain the will power to hold off for that brief amount of freedom. Besides jacking off is discouraged at most gyms to the point that it isn’t so easy to find a private place to do it (other than the bathroom) and being observed doing it is not really less embarrassing than being seen in the cage.

I hope this was helpful. These days I go to the gym in ruffled panties and change to cotton panties under leotards or short-shorts with shirts that proclaim my sissy status, so concealment isn’t really an option anymore. It has been kind of fun to recall the strategies I used to use when I still had dignity. I surrendered mine deliberately, but you don’t need to do the same to stay in shape.

Good luck to you.
