Updates From THE CAGE Team

Summer is here with longer nights and hotter days, making it the perfect time to check your toy bag or, if you don't have one yet, start putting one together.

THE CAGE Magazine’s latest article, Kink Essentials for Your Toy Bag, offers practical tips and suggestions to help you choose the right toys, care for them properly, and keep all your essentials ready for every scene.

Inside the article, you will find
• A list of versatile items every toy bag should include
• Clear advice on caring for your gear
• Tips on staying prepared and intentional with your play

And here's our friendly reminder...

Until next time....

Check out our latest CAGE Magazine article:  Subfrenzy Explained: A Guide to Staying Safe and Centered.  Here we explore the emotional surge submissives can experience when delving into kink too fast. It’s common, often misunderstood, and can cause challenges in D/s relationships. Learn what it is, why it happens, and how to stay grounded. A must-read for anyone exploring power exchange dynamics.

June is a time to celebrate love, identity, freedom and the beautiful diversity of our community. At THE CAGE we proudly stand with the LGBTQ+ community and are committed to being a safe, inclusive and supportive space for all. No matter your orientation, gender identity or expression, you are seen, you are valued and you belong here.

We also want to remind everyone that while we ask members to avoid posting general political content, this does not include posts or discussions about sexual freedom, queer or trans rights or kink visibility. These conversations are not only welcome, they are an important part of who we are as a community. Your voice, your story and your pride matter here.

Please feel free to share content that reflects your identity and supports others in theirs. Pride is not just a month. It is a celebration of who we are every day.

Until next time...

First off, a big thank you for your patience during this morning’s brief, scheduled maintenance! We appreciate your understanding as we continue making improvements to enhance your experience.

Here are some of the latest updates:

🔹 Hardened Blocks – Blocked users will no longer see you in Online Now, Last Online, or Member Search, and vice versa—unless searched by name. Users who have blocked you won’t appear on your blog feed, while those you’ve blocked will still appear unless you manually remove them by clicking the down arrow on their post and selecting 'Hide Blog'

🔹 HEIC Image Support – Uploading images just got easier! We now support HEIC image files, which means Android and iPhone users can upload photos directly without needing to convert them first.

🔹 Crypto Payments – We’ve added support for cryptocurrency payments, providing more flexibility for those who prefer alternative payment options.

🔹 Text Chat in Video Calls – Need to share a quick message while on a video call? You can now send text chats directly within video calls for a smoother communication experience.

🔹 Find Friends Update – We’ve adjusted our Find Friends search to prioritize Premium members, helping everyone discover and connect more easily.
