Husbands chastity cage

469 replies

BeShyPlumLeader · 18/09/2025 21:21

I recently found a metal chastity cage (for a males anatomy) in my husbands cupboard. Obviously a bit of a shock.

For background - marriage isn't good, no sex for over 2 years, separate beds, talk of separating. Stayed together because of the kids tbh. I wouldn't be surprised if he was getting it elsewhere tbh. But a .... cage!? Wtf...

What would u think? I don't want to tell him I've found it (yet)

Because i didnt know any of that to say it to you? As far as I know i havent logged on and differently to how I always do (my phone just does it automatically). I have no idea how it all works? Nor do I care particularly tbh. So yes - I found it odd you'd essentially accuse me of faking being the OP...

Whatever indeed

Only noticed after the whole silly exchange that it was two different names. I must have had a different one at some point and its somehow logged in as that. Genuinely - no idea!

Yeah. I don’t know why that poster didn’t just say that instead of it all going weird though. It’s as if she didn’t know they were two completely different names, then just accused me of having ‘so little going on’ in my life, and

anyway. Whatever. Weird.

If its been 2 years since you last had sex, it was probably his mate idea as a joke giving it to him. It might have been a secret santa gift for Christmas because hes not getting any sex.

DooDallyHallie · 30/08/2026 04:22

It will be a joke present from last year's work secret santa or something

IndigoBluey · 30/08/2026 03:41

@Greenmouldycheese quite possibly. I believe they function in the same way, that said, I am fortunate to have never needed either.

@FairCat Remember it’s not only hamsters that get to ride the chasity cage, a bit of inclusivity for gerbils and rats (without their tails) should be allowed

Greenmouldycheese · 30/08/2026 00:50

Could it be one of those humane rat traps?

No, but you can log in with a different account and reply to your own thread. I have at least two accounts due to forgetting, signing up again with a slightly different username.

But you can’t name change on a thread, so you can’t be the OP.

Or…….

No. You can’t.

You have a different name, nothing to do with anything else.

Ok 🙄

OhFFSMum · 29/08/2026 22:36

Well it is my thread. I have no idea what has happened there. How would I 'fake' my posts being a different colour to everyone else's

I give up with MN. Do u really have so little going on in your life that you have time to worry about someone on the Internet possibly faking ownership of a thread about their husband's c.... cage?

You are saying this is your thread that you started.

I am saying you can’t name change in the middle of a thread.

Lol I am laughing at the recent messages on my 'zombie' thread.

As u can see above I posted an update a few days ago but mumsnet has hidden it for some reason.

In a nutshell.... I never confronted him about it. Scared to, dont know why. I'm obviously a very weak person. Relationship still awful as ever.

This week i found a note with the a username and the URL for a well known site where people like to swap partners (trying not to get this message banished with my language here)

Basically... WHY cant i bring myself to speak to him about it??? I even went for counselling. Made me think about a lot but still didn't make me grow a backbone and do anything about it.

So thats it. Believe me / dont / whatever....

Put a small plum in it and pop it in his lunch box for work!

34567890A · 29/08/2026 03:46

My guess is that he is seeing someone else, has come out with the tired line that he doesnt sleep with his wife, and has either bought it for himself to apparently wear when he is with you to show he isn't sleeping with you, or his side piece has bought it and asked him to wear it while he is not with her.

The clue will be in whether he has the key to it or not. If he doesnt have the key, there's a woman somewhere with the key.

GaIadriel · 29/08/2026 02:16

Is it definitely a chastity cage? Do you have any pets? Could it be to transport a small rodent?

Would it be any better if he was doing a George Michael? 😆

FairCat · 29/08/2026 01:55

Be creative, use it to stop your lunchtime banana from getting smushed or pop a scented candle in it for a calming evening in. Maybe stick it on your router to improve the WiFi signal.

The must be loads of alternative uses for a hamster carrier, or whatever it is.

Oh dear, I feel for you, stuck in a house with a dirty, wee man you don't even like. I've been there and trust me, life's way too short to waste it in that kind of misery.

I had a very good friend, lovely lady, absolutely no confidence in herself, married to a total bastard that ground her down even more. After thirty-odd years of an excruciating marriage to someone that made her skin crawl he left her. Shortly after that the crap hit the fan when some depraved and truly awful things were found on his computer and just how sick he was came to light. Her daughter (by then in her twenties) had a complete breakdown, turned out he had abused her since she was a child and she'd kept it all locked inside. My friend had no idea and was utterly destroyed by the guilt. Sometimes staying for the kids isn't the noble act you think it is.

Stuff trying to build up the gumption to confront him over his paraphilia, start planning your escape from the waking nightmare of your marriage, work towards getting your confidence up so you can detach the barnacle from you and swim away.

You can do it, you're more capable than you know. Swim away, swim away...

Something is going on. Any chance he could have bought it a while ago thinking he could use it with you? Any other signs of cheating? Could be some weird type of masturbation aid like a turn on for him or something. Weird AF though I think you should just ask him!!

Hi, nope - not a chance it was for me and him to use. Thanks for the message tho x

A zombie thread about a cock cage. Peak mumsnet!
I was asked to be key holder for one of these devices, but declined as I thought there would be too many penis unlocking emergencies at inconvenient times.
