With everything that’s happening in my life, over the past week—and very much against my wishes—I’ve been less focused on the competition. My mental state and libido took a serious hit as my family, friends, and I have been navigating a crisis. Because of that, I haven’t been able to dedicate myself the way I normally would.
That said, quitting has never been an option. Life doesn’t stop throwing curveballs, and learning how to manage them is part of the process. Despite everything, I’ve managed to hold on to 4th place so far. I’ve also accepted that I won’t be able to bid as aggressively as the guys above me. Honestly, I’m impressed—and a little shocked—by how well some of them can edge and hold after 400–500 strokes, especially after being denied for so long.
I’ve come to understand my limits, and that’s actually a good thing. Knowing them helps me avoid bankrupting myself and lets me play smarter instead of harder.
Status Update: Cage & Harness
I’ve pretty much stopped using the three-way harness. As incredible as it feels to be held by it, it’s just not comfortable for long-term wear for me. I ordered the four-way harness Mistress Ashley recommended, and I’m currently waiting for it to arrive.
The cage itself has been a little uncomfortable, but overall I’ve come to appreciate the Holy Trainer again. I used to wear one years ago, but after their quality dropped for a while, I moved away from them and HT became somewhat tainted in my mind. Wearing it again now feels like reconnecting with an old, complicated friend.
The Circle Tightens
As we get closer to the end, Mistress Ashley has definitely been tightening the circle around us:
“Hello my lovelies!
We have three edging sessions left in this competition. They will be more rapid this week—Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The challenge level will increase rapidly with each round. To maximize the challenge, you will all remain locked without edging for the next few days. Bidding will open on Sunday for 12 hours.
In the meantime, I’d like you to reflect on this competition so far and share what you’ve learned about yourself, chastity, and edging. Any other thoughts are welcome as well. You can share these in chat or privately with me.
Please remember to submit verification photos!”
Oh boy…
I haven’t shared my reflections yet, but it’s at the very top of my to-do list.
Round 7: Rule Changes
- Please use a metronome app set to 90 beats per minute to play in the background of the video. You must keep time and edge with the metronome!
- Please record an additional 5 seconds post edging.
- Edging submissions must go directly to me AND to the verification group.
- Submission times will be strictly enforced. Any submission or redo not in that time will receive no points for the round.
If you have bankrupted the previous round:
- Minimum bid is 100 strokes.
- If you are at or under 500 points but have NOT bankrupted:
- Minimum bid is 150 strokes.
If you are over 500 points:
- Minimum bid is 225 strokes.
- There is no minimum increase for first place.
The jump from 60 BPM to 90 left me with little choice but to bid 300 strokes. Not too low, not dangerously high—just enough to survive without bankrupting.
Even with my unfocused mental state, 300 strokes turned out to be risky. Waves of arousal hit me with almost no control on my part. I had to lock in on my breathing and counting, but even then there were moments where it felt like my cock and balls were operating independently of my brain—pure arousal with minimal conscious input.
Still, I made it through successfully.
Afterward, I took a shower and started re-watching The Witcher. I fucking love that show—it’s so good. A couple episodes in, I suddenly realized I had completely forgotten to re-lock and send a verification photo. Cue a brief moment of panic.
Re-locking was harder than usual. My cock was semi-erect, my balls heavy and aching. I could see the veins, feel the pulse in my sack. Once the cage was back on, the arousal ramped up even more—my cock straining against the cage, pulling it away from my body, while my balls were gripped tighter, amplifying the ache noticeably.
I sent the verification photo immediately and followed it up with an apology and explanation to Mistress Ashley. She just laughed.
Sleep & Dreams
My sleep schedule has mostly returned to normal, though I still wake up throughout the night. I’ve been having very spicy dreams—waking up humping and grinding before fully realizing I’m locked. I feel every drop of precum as it escapes, and each time it turns me on and frustrates me at the same time… and I love it.
Results Came In
Needless to say, so much for securing 4th place. At this point, it feels less about winning and more about not losing.

Round 8: Rule Changes
All:
- Please use a metronome app set to 90 beats per minute to play in the background of the video. You must keep time and edge with the metronome!
- Please smush balls between two wooden spoons. Hold in place with rubber bands or hair ties.
- Please record an additional 5 seconds post edging.
- Edging submissions must go directly to me AND to the verification group.
- Submission times will be strictly enforced. Any submission not in that time will receive no points for the round.
If you have bankrupted the previous round:
- Minimum bid is 100 strokes.
- If you are under 750 points but did not bankrupt:
- Minimum bid is 150
If you are under 1500 points and above 750:
- Minimum bid is 200 strokes.
If you are over 1500 points:
- Minimum bid is 650 strokes.
All I can say is: thank GOD I’m not over 1500 points.
I played it safe again and bid another 300 strokes.
That spoon rule? Instantly hard. I have plenty of chopsticks, and I’m very excited to use them.
Random Observations I Keep Forgetting to Mention
- Using the bidet has never been this enjoyable—or stimulating
- Certain foods (banana, avocado, dark chocolate) noticeably increase horniness; my balls feel more “active” the next day
- Staying away from porn is getting incredibly hard.
Sometimes all I want to do is shake and stroke my cage just to feel something. - Sensations are amplified, which sends my sensation-seeking brain into overdrive
Almost every denied erection sends waves of frustration and ache rippling through my body. The sensation spreads outward, making me stretch like a sleepy cat. My muscles contract and release energy as the waves pass through, forcing me into strange, creative movements just to accommodate it all.
