Husbands chastity cage

432 replies

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)

Gay and into s&m xx

Why gay? Straight men are into chastity too!

But seriously, you have to ask him. I’m assuming that’s what he’s into sexually and he hasn’t brought it up to you yet. At least he’s not wearing it - that would probably mean somebody is the ‘key holder’.

I have led a sheltered life. I have never heard of such a thing. I can't imagine what one looks like or how it is affixed, and I am not going to google 😯

BeShyPlumLeader · 18/09/2025 21:37

Honestly... I know this all sounds like bullshit and I can't believe I'm actually posting it myself. But I really did find this hidden in his wardrobe

Ask now. I found a douche bulb in my house. He said it was for constipation, but he came out as gay 4 months later.

We were married for almost 8 years and have 2 young kids. It's destroyed my life

I wouldn't ask but I'd do some digging. I kept finding new sex toys in our house as well and almost gaslit myself into thinking maybe it had always been in my stbxhs collection but then I found out he was into lots of stuff he hadn't told me about, had been with men before etc and had been using increasingly extreme porn. Destroyed our marriage and my kids family as well. I'd get an sti test done on yourself as well just for the peace of mind even if you haven't been intimate recently. To me it would make me think he's using more kink driven porn or possibly is with other people. I'd want to know before bringing it up so he doesn't have the option to lie so you know where you stand especially if things aren't good between you. Is staying together definitely what's best for your kids if you're both so separate in the one house? You both deserve to be happy and your kids see you both happy and fulfilled even if that is separately.

Bloody hell, I wish I'd never googled it. Where's the eye bleach when you need it?!

Neither had I!!!! I had to Google it!

Not necessarily gay, aren't these usually used at the direction of some kind of Dominatrix, ordering a man around as a kind of submissive cuck? Hope it's not financial control as well OP. 😬

That's so earth shattering. I've heard of this many times and feel these men are just so pathetic and weak that they have to play the role of husband/father but will inflict such devastation on their partners when they finally decide to be hoenst. Chances are he knew this but was too spineless to come out. It affects the offspring in a bad way too.

PurpleChrayn · 18/09/2025 21:39

Did you aye?

NautilusLionfish · 18/09/2025 21:40

Does it look old? I mean, he could be a collector. May be he is planning to open a museum.

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

Bit of a shock for you but it sounds like you may soon be going your separate ways so I'd decide beforehand how much of an issue this is for you.

Do you have any pets?

sorry but that’s finished me off today 😂

Well I'm never looking at hamsters in the same light ever again

Well this is my thinking. I'm being a bit strategic here because I want to see if I find anything else.

In answer to your question - no I don't think being in the same house and being so separate is the best thing for the kids. Although we do not really argue terribly in front of them - we do not have a relationship with each other and he agrees that it is setting a bad example for the kids. They seem oblivious to any issues though. He is totally avoiding in discussing any issues, so I have told him we need to talk with a mediator present about how we separate. Which he has agreed to.

But this latest find has obviously shocked / thrown me... just wondered what others thought

I would say nothing, but leave it on the kitchen counter. Or in the fridge.

Maybe hide it and see if he ever asks for it back.

Can you check his internet history? See if he is talking to a dominatrix or something online? He’s obviously wanting to explore this/already has explored this

Yes that is what I read they are used for on Google

Its true but I just get the vibe - been on mn for too long 😭

I think that’s what Richard Gere said too.

I wish I could but sadly no - not a chance I'd ever be able to get in his phone

Put a toy mouse in it and leave it on the kitchen table.

BeShyPlumLeader · 18/09/2025 21:47

Do u think a friend could have bought it for him as a joke?? Although he hasn't seen any of his friends for at least a couple of months

@BeShyPlumLeader Well, thanks OP (and Google) for completing my education! 😮😂 There's only one question I'd be asking him OP and that's "Who has the key to it?"
