I’m sure I’ll be considering the possibility of acquiring a solid ring as soon as I’m sure that the size 1 ring is the most appropriate size for kvetch’s long term wear. There has been much written on the difficulties people have had with the hinged rings.

I’ve been keeping the hinge covered, and so far we have experienced no hinge related issues with skin irritation or pinching or sores. And the hinge does allow the ring to be put on around the scrotum and shaft more easily.

Thank you for stopping by. :)

Best regards,

Lubyanka.

Yes, I do get that. I’m just not sure whether the fussing with the device won’t solely increase kvetch’s focus on his own penis (which I have no problem with, at the moment), as opposed to increasing my focus on it (which I don’t imagine happening at this stage).
 
 
“In addition, some people play games of chance, indulge in point systems, and in fact, do end up making the game more about the orgasm than the denial.”

I don’t do points systems of any kind, nor do I play games of chance. I can’t imagine modifying those behaviours for the sake of the device. I have my methods with kvetch, and they do not include any games of that nature.
 
 
“IMHBCO, of course.”

Is that: “In My Humble But Considered Opinion”?

Any of those things which you mentioned above may certainly affect other people. But since those other people are nothing to do with me, and since I am not in fact those other people, I couldn’t address any questions involving them.

I do very much appreciate your clarifying the viewpoint, thank you Tom. :)

4 January 2008: **Update**

After some (somewhat) delayed googlage, I have found that “IMHBCO” is most definitely an acronym for:

“In My Humble But Correct Opinion”.

Just to let everybody know I did find it in the end. :)

**End Of Update**

I sort of understand the point he was trying to make, although I disagree with it.

In some respects, all the fussing with the devices does focus a lot of attention on your penis. In addition, some people play games of chance, indulge in point systems, and in fact, do end up making the game more about the orgasm than the denial. IMHBCO, of course.

I think that it’s fairly obvious that I can’t comment with any certainty on what other people do, or why they do it. Not that this stops me, sometimes, in some categories, but I don’t feel comfortable commenting on general behaviours in this category, as I simply don’t know.

If there are any ruses to focus my attention more on the cock than I might otherwise do, I’m not aware of them. I don’t prefer to participate in those sorts of games.

If an increase of my focus is desired on my submissive’s cock, then they may simply say so, and I will consider it. I would regard that as a topic suitable for negotiation, and negotiate it.

If men in general are using chastity in general as a ruse to increase their own focus on their own cocks, then that is for them to work out. I have little interest in the topic.

This question spawns the further query as to whether a question like this is in fact a passive aggressive attempt to draw me personally into increasing my own focus on Nigel’s particular cock.

And my verdict on that is, possibly, or possibly not. As I have little interest in that topic, I won’t be spending any time on it.

Best regards,

Lubyanka.

In response, I think that Nigel should spend a couple of weeks in a CB3k with someone who lives very, very far away holding the key.

Thanks for dropping by. I find I’m unable to make any sense out of your question.

Why would some focus on one thing necessarily result in less focus on another?

Why would anything I do, or kvetch does, reflect on, influence, or indeed have anything to do with male chastity devices in general, or “male ruses” in general, or “Female Dominance” as a whole?

Obviously I wouldn’t be aware of anything which was clandestine enough to escape my notice.

You made an argument? What argument?

Your precedent is illustrating what presupposition?

What do cod-pieces or Tudor fashion have to do with any of this?

I’m lost.

However is it possible that male chastity devices are a male ruse to focus attention on the penis rather than on the vulva? and by doing so, clandestinely undermine Female Dominance?

The “cod-piece” in Tudor clothing fashion, is my argument’s precedent.
